Damn the government - when World Youth Day
(ie, World Catholic Youth Day) hits Aus'traya we're not allowed to annoy pilgrims - if so we could get slapped with a $5500 fine. Included in things that are "annoying" are protesting, slogan t-shirts, and skateboarding (wtf).
The funny thing is that by announcing all this it has made people go into overdrive in producing t-shirts.

I guess the "Protestant Safety Zone" sign my mum wants to put up won't go down too well.
BTW - Totally don't have anything against Catholics - apart from them parking across our driveway to get their kids from school.

We wouldn't want to protest the fact that taxpayers are paying 86 million dollars for their big ole church fete... that could annoy people.

i can understand why people are angry about the skateboarding issue but i really dont mind about the shirts.
Australians should be happy about the fact that were holding WYD... the world is goin to see the best of australia and hundreds of troubled youngans out there are going to share a spirtual moment... btw im not religious at all haha

WYD = HELL OF ALOT of tourists... thus = $$$

You just go to the petfood section of a supermarket... plenty of kangaroo meat there.
RikkiB said 2 months ago
I'm not religious either (can you tell?!)huzzah for tourists, but I believe the church should pay for its own damn party.
MezXXX said 2 months ago
the kangaroo would probably kill you if you tried to ride it haha
seriously haha
Ameeee said 2 months ago
Fo shizzle Rikki. I have nothing against tourism - and I can't say the gov. doesn't have the right to fund some of it - because they fund the Olympics and sporting events etc.
But a fine for expressing an opinion is crap... and SKATEBOARDING IS NOT A CRIME!!!
Ramvere said 2 months ago
This is a risk im willing to take!
Ameeee said 2 months ago
You should check out youtube for Skippy The Bush Kangaroo. That dude will solve crimes, hook you up..anything.
Ramvere said 2 months ago

At least they can prove sport really exists ;)
Meanwhile... remember the Stuff they used to do on Fast Forward with Skippy? (I think it was Fast Forward anyways)
Ameeee said 2 months ago
Haha true that!
Oh Fast Forward was gooood! (PS - I'm against the government financially supporting it - but I can't explain it in an argument that makes sense!)
RikkiB said 2 months ago
Understandable :)

I feel a little bit bad for the people who thought that Adelaide was a suburb of Sydney!

I think its an abomination that all those Kangaroos are just running around having unprotected sex spreading disease and creating unwanted marsupials.
