The years seem to pass swiftly, and I find myself longing for the pleasures of the past.
We are governed by an unmarried, childless, nonbeliever who relies on the support of Greens and Independents for survival.
Could this be the reason we are being asked to accept same-sex marriages? Is it because a small minority holds power in politics?
Over the past few days, I have devoted time to watching television. It appears that nearly every program features at least one openly gay performer. Just yesterday at four o’clock, I switched to Foxtel, where I witnessed two men kissing in a popular soap opera.
In my childhood, returning home from primary school, I felt fortunate to watch Andy Pandy, who certainly didn’t engage in any kissing with Teddy. Back then, films starred individuals who expressed themselves without resorting to profanity or explicit scenes.
In contrast, today’s media tends to be crude and poorly crafted. Imagine if Trevor Howard had dropped his trousers in Brief Encounter—such imagination far surpasses vulgarity. Soon, it seems, we will have Shakespeare’s plays in schools rendered in modern language, lacking the poetic essence of yesteryears.
‘To be, or not to Fucking be… that is the Fucking question.’
Regrettably, things appear poised to worsen. I managed to stay up late watching television and at around ten o’clock, a program aired discussing the locations where one might be most likely to receive oral sex. Who conceived such a topic for a show? Surely, that idea is bound to win a prestigious award.
Was this meant as a comedic commentary? It certainly didn’t elicit any laughter from me.
Australia is a nation that identifies as Christian, or perhaps a nation that fears God.
How many sacred texts support same-sex marriages? Should laws be altered by a minority of politicians, or should we all have a voice in the governance of our nation? And who allowed the crazies to produce television programs? If you’re curious, the country purportedly most enthusiastic about such adventures is Austria. I think I’ll go watch Gone with the Wind now… Did Clark Gable truly utter “Damn”?
