Message | No marriage can be made upon a man and a man; or a woman and a woman. We know why are we created for, and the Orthodox and the Catholic believers. Stefan Barna RRP |

Message | Although we believe in a stronger church we dont believe that the church should dictate our laws, we appreciate their guidance on issues but they shall not be binding. We as a party see no need in denying homosexual couples the same rights conferred upon straight married couples. Homosexuality will always exist, so we should encourage them to settle down and live a quiet and more private life. We feel that this legislation will enable that, however if we deny them rights they will live a very open lifestyle looking for new meat all the time. So if we can encourage them to settle down with 1 person that will be better for everyone. If you use the grounds that we should vote against this legislation because homosexuality is un-natural shall we ban air-Conditioning, glasses etc... as they are un-natural. Should we legislate against sterile people getting married as they will not achieve the aims that we were created for. Margaret Jones, Telamon President. |

Random quote: "Colonialism or imperialism, as the slave system of the West is called, is not something that is just confined to England or France or the United States. The interests in this country are in cahoots with the interests in France and the interests in Britain. It's one huge complex or combine, and it creates what's known not as the American power structure or the French power structure, but an international power structure. This international power structure is used to suppress the masses of dark-skinned people all over the world and exploit them of their natural resources." Malcolm X |
