SSM Plebiscite

[kruddler]

Is it though Kruddler
Again take the Sydney Uni example... They are saying "It is okay to say no". Now they have a right to campaign and actively state they want people to vote no. But it isn't getting to that and people are actually threatening to stomp on their head...

Or an 18 year old is exercising her right to say also it is okay to say no and the employer fires her and brags to the world about having fired this bigot for "hate speech".
Only to backtrack when she realises that she might have broken the law.

I don't buy that argument Kruddler, because I don't see sensible engagement in discussion and allowing each side to voice their opinions.
And, I think almost everyone can see that those campaigning on the side of yes have been the worst in this plebiscite.

The yes side has shown no real interest in hearing any discussion on the topic. It is 100% parochial like it as a sports event.

Surely the easiest way (if forced down this road) is to allow those that are against to speak and to shut down actual arguments with facts and logic.
The YES side don't need to change the minds of those that are hell bent on NO. They need to persuade those who are unsure or leaning slightly away.
This could (I would have thought), been done through logic, regardless of whether or not the no side is being illogical.

I don't know what you've been following MIO but all the yes voters on here and in my circles are wanting to engage in a sensible argument and wanting to hear what the no voters have to say. Remember i asked you why your son said no? I haven't heard IMHO, a legitimate argument for 'no' thus far. Now i'm sure the no-voters could say the same thing about the yes side.....but there are also flat-earth people who'd do similar....with about the same amount of logic.

Maybe we hang in different circles, but your experiences during this debate are vastly different to mine.
