Australia goes down the toilet! 23-Aug-2010 At 7:12:55 PM Phil Box

I asked Neil to open the thread up so I could have a right of reply at all the posts directed at me. I've spent a bit of time away from chocky on one of the Australian Political forums and had gotten used to a bit of argey bargey rough and tumble political arguing. Those places are rough I can tell you. Being that this is a political thread and in the heat of the moment I let fly on a subject that it seems is very delicate here and have offended a lot of the users sensibilities.

I do apologise whole heartedly and without reservation for the offensive words I used to describe gays, that was uncalled for. I can definitely see that that would offend. I do not however apologise for holding a particular view on gay marriage per se. If that offends people then I am sorry for you that you cannot allow someone to hold a particular view that is opposed to yours.

I thought that we could discuss difficult subjects in a mature manner and in a civil way.

Feel free to lock the thread or not Neil as you see fit.
