Thanks for that.
Actually, its for a couple of elderly travellers for whom a piece of
paper makes more sense and gives more comfort. These travellers are not
using a smartphone - if I'd just been able to print the boarding pass
all would be resolved. Other options will just be more complicated for
them now.

Ahh, so it's subject to interpretation and context. Well, how about that?
So why is it that the interpretation and context that you think is right
is that one that must be enshrined in civil law?

Apart the slave issue being complete nonsense (slaves were typically the
spoils of conquest.. they could go home you know), I am mocking your
selective use of context. Sometimes you seem to think that a biblical
marriage is absolute and sometimes you appeal to context.
It's rather like this guy..

(For those who don't get the joke, a couple of pages later in Leviticus is
a prohibition on tatoos)
Despite all this you have no justification on why your religious version
of marriage is the one which everyone else has to live with.

Apparently "I have not come to abolish the Law or the Prophets" is
something you can selectively choose.

What? Can you explain to me the ethnic Israeli heritage of the Ugandan Jews?
You know, I think mDNA studies might disagree with your assertion.

So you agree to the legal establishment of same-sex marriage, but you
don't support it yourself?
Well that would be good of you. It would show that you're capable of
distinguishing between secular laws which apply to all of us, and are
based on available evidence, and heavenly laws which belong to particular
sects in accordance to their beliefs.

It's interesting that you mention "context" yet bring up many topics which
require context to make any sense.
Slaves, as an example, didn't have Centrelink. They could be slaves or
starve. It was economically better for them to be slaves. Please don't
plead context and deliberately comment out of context.
Current translations of the Bible are considered to be quite accurate,
though different translations of different sentences are slightly
different, given the difference between literal and meaningful translation
from ancient Hebrew and Greek to modern English.
The execution of people who worked on the Sabbath was based on a tradition
of Jewish law, not Christian. If you had any idea about Christianity,
Jewish tradition, you would find that Jesus frowned on the legalism of
Jews, that they had developed laws based on their traditions over the
centuries which did not glorify God, but their own traditions.

Hi All,
Anyone has used the Virgin Australia website recently for web checkin
After trying out in several browser (Firefox, Opera, Chromium), I am
unable to print a boarding pass that shows the barcode. It prints
everything else but the barcode.
(It is a horrible flash application and that seems to bypass the normal
browser print functionality, hence no option to print to pdf and print
separately)?
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Daniel.

"hampered by rules of the Anglican CHURCH" I wanted to say.

You are opening a can of worms here, I think.
AFAIK religious texts refer to the twelve tribes of Israel and the current
state of Israel, according to its own constitution a Jewish state, is
claiming his current location and right to exist based on these texts.
The Nazis did not invent the theory of a "Jewish race" but they used it to
persecute million of German citizens (and later in occupied countries) of
perceived "Jewish heritage" (the "Aryan pass" to show your heritage and
"value" as a German citizen is a joke - unfortunately a deadly serious one
for many)
Without this your friend may feel "Jewish" as I feel "Lutheran": That's
the religion of my ancestors but I am not a practising Christian. I do not
say I am "Lutheran".
AFAIK there are no "Christian tribes". This seems to be quite undisputed,
I think.
But that all goes far beyond the original topic.. and I am not the
suppository of all wisdom, to quote my Dear Leader.
BTW: for years I was living here in Australia with a partner who is the
mother of our daughter. We were not married but it mattered much less than
in Germany. The "de facto relationship" has a quite solid legal standing
here.
Trent's word exists, it is civil union. I do not know whether it is
necessary to have a "marriage" or a "civil union" will do.
Just make sure that the law does not discriminate against them.
Overall, Australians appear quite pragmatic, and that may do, I guess.
Interestingly, the hardest resistance seems to come from churches with
strong American influences. E.g. the Life Church which is founded by an
American.
The "traditional churches" seem to be quite relaxed, it seems. A friends'
marriage which was slightly hampered by rules of the Anglican heritage was
finally married in a Uniting Church, with the blessings of an Anglican
priest as part of the ceremony.

I would vote for a party which plans are working in my interest;-)
Which are not necessarily "mine" only. Sometimes a "broad view" about
society values can be more important for me than just to look after my
wallet.
BTW: To a certain extend you may be right about the "unfunded ideas" of
the Greens. Not being in power (and not close to it) gives them more
freedom to dream.
"Reality" will interfere with them early enough - as it shows when they
have the balance of power. Some dreams come true, some don't.
The Victorian standards of pollies seem to be very low at the moment.
E.g. handing over parts of a National Park silently to a developer 2 days
before going in caretaker mode
or signing contracts weeks before an election to promise hundred million
dollars of taxpayers' money (our money) to a consortium if his successors
decide not to clear the way for a project which is still before the
courts..
I would like to see Denis Naphtine in jail instead of in government, to be
honest.
BTW: I am pretty sure some of it would not work in Germany. These kind of
contracts are "sittenwidrig" there
(http://www.dict.cc/german-english/sittenwidrig.html:
unethical, improper..) and can be nullified in court.
Has Australia similar lows to invalidate clearly improper contracts?
Anyway, I cannot believe that Australians ignore such behaviour. Naphtine
should be unelectable.

Stay calm and carry on;-)

Hi Lev,
I understand the definition of a recession. I simply said it hasn't
necessarily yet been avoided. We may still yet fall into recession as a
direct result of the GFC.
We avoided recession immediately resulting from the GFC, but the US
government is still "printing money" to keep their market afloat. Interest
rates are being deliberately kept low so the government can afford its
debt. It won't take too much vibration in the US for confidence to go
through the floor again.

For a few years the name Melissa Parke "pops up" if it comes to matters
like treatment of refugees and recently privacy, e.g.
http://www.melissaparke.com.au/speeches/614-restricting-freedom-privacy-cou…
She seems to be one of the few Labor members in parliament which are not
completely overwhelmed by fear to say "unpopular" words and let her
conscience speak.
Politicians like her good do with a bit of public support, I think.
In my eyes Labor is a disaster if it comes to explain what matters. That
makes them less electable than a party which would know and explain why it
supports certain matters. Hoping that privacy issues or refugee issues "go
away" does not help. It is a strategy worth of an ostrich.
The current government would be called right extremists in Germany. It is
plainly shocking how far Brandis, Morrison, Pyke etc. pushed the Liberals
to the right.
The word Liberal is completely misleading. This word would disappear from
the political landscape of Australia if parties had to declare the
ingredients on the label.

Peter
