I am not a fan of the catholic church.
to be honest i’m not a fan of the church at all. not the politics, not the slander, not the hypocracy.
but i respect that it is each individual’s choice to decide who or what they believe in.
I respect that some of these pilgrims have come from the other side of the planet to celebrate this week.
I respect that although i may not share their enthusiasm and identical faith, this is their week to praise and worship, the way they want to.
what i don’t respect is these activists and protesters who are out there rattling cages and handing out condoms and being smart asses just to stir up the crowds.
have you nothing better to do with your time?
no one disrespects you for not believing or believing something else, what we disrespect you for is your lack of respect.
i understand that some people are legitimately annoyed and frustrated by the inconveniences presented by an extra couple hundred thousand of lost visitors stumbling thru the city.
however, there are appropriate ways of dealing with it.
and i think being a pain in the ass isn’t one of them.
in particular i think of the two “student activists” who were permitted to be “annoying” in sydney and made the front page of the paper and headlines of the 6 and 7pm news.
I don’t care if you are against catholicism, you are just being stupid by surrounding yourselves with pilgrims then trying to give them condoms and spread the word about HIV/Aids.
if anyone got anything out of it, i hope you got frustration and humiliation, because what i saw on the news was at least 20 pilgrims pointing and yelling at you, telling you to grow up and respect other people.
all i can figure to be as logic behind this…these activists weren’t very pretty…maybe if someone would give them some, they might find a better use of their time, rather than harrassing tourists on a pilgrimage.
maybe next time i’ll protest their court case…dressed as a giant condom, and i’ll suggest they wear one, keeping the mess they cause inside..
Drama – Does not like disrespect!
