But you liked a post that said she shouldn't air her views. Ein confusen is pidgin
You seem determined to take me to task. So let me deal with the "Like". Unfortunately there isn't a process (that I am aware of) to indicate I like a "part" or "portion" of what was said. So sue me !
If you're going to use pidgin German, have the courtesy of letting us poor unfortunates know in advance. And then have the courtesy of using the "full" expression up front rather than just part of it. Further adding to the confusion. And then maybe, just maybe give an actual translation to clarify.
To take a condescending manner because I either don't know or wasn't given the chance to know is just plain rude.
I hope that clears up any "confusion " you may have about my position?
Back to the debate , I don't give a Fig if Margaret Court approves of Same sex marriage, I don't care if she disapproves of sex before marriage. I frankly don't care one way or the other what she believes in.
What I do care about is (in the context of this discussion) is her right to an opinion.
I also care that AJ is equally entitled to an opinion.
I haven't been present at any Qantas Board meeting (ever) so I don't know what has gone on behind closed doors.
But I have a fairly strong suspicion that AJ doesn't get to make unilateral Qantas policy on the run. I may be wrong, but I reckon he needs board and overall corporate support to voice a position on behalf of Qantas.
As for Margaret Court, she is (I believe) a member of some evangelical church with (IMHO) fairly outdated views on society and how we should behave and how we should accept difference in our fellow members of society.
However in spite of her views being unpalatable to many, she does have a right to them.
Now we get back to my "like" again. What I "liked" was the comment that if she doesn't want to fly Qantas, then don't fly Qantas.
I don't like things that happen in the world. Some of the things I don't lie are minor and insignificant in the overall scheme of things.
I don't like self serve checkouts in Coles and Woolies, so I vote with my feet, and refuse to use them.
I don't like throw away pens, so I use a fountain pen or a ball point that takes a refill. But until now, no one knew any of that. Why?
Because like Margaret Court, it's just not interesting.
One of the great things about social media is it gives voice to the dull and uninteresting of this world, one of the worst things about social media is that it gives voice to the dull and uninteresting of this world.
That is my opinion and I don't much care if anyone agrees with it. Because like noses, everyone has one (an opinion)
