Celebrity (and not so) Deaths 2024

Lol.

I don’t wish him or his family ill will but this statement went worldwide when he was discussing same sex marriage.

“Yes, there are all kinds of affectionate relationships… I have an affectionate relationship with my cycling mates who we go (sic) cycling on the weekends, but that’s not marriage. Why doesn’t the law have a place in those sort of relationships? It doesn’t because the law has a place traditionally, historically, across cultures and civilisations because it is there about the protection of the vulnerable and it shouldn’t go beyond that.”

So honest, he was up to his neck in Branch stacking. He tore the Libs in Victoria apart in constant power struggles. When the Catholic Establishment lost its lustre with child abuse, he lost his power base.
Then, there was the Haneef affair when he was Immigration Minister….

A lot of people were opposed to same sex marriage even though the plebiscite succeeded. World-wide, probably a strong majority are opposed.

I said I didn’t agree with his politics. But there was nothing insulting or hateful in what you quoted. He just said he was opposed and explained why.

At least you keep your bigotry open to the public!

Is this just the white Christian variety or do you feel equally superior to all those who worship a deity?

Should we have a Blitz celebrity death pool for 2025? Morbid as hell but I’m kinda obsessed with the idea.

Yeah I don’t think anyone here is famous. I certainly am not.

I am getting close to Blitz legendary status, at least in my own mind.

This thread should be renamed to ‘Somebody died today’

The Wicker Man was a classic scary movie, took me months to get over.

Why? Because you didn’t know her?

If I recall corectly the makers of the movie The Wicker Man come out and appoligsed to Pagans for the movie. This is where we have come in Woke Earth. Someone should tell them they are Pagans and they deserve to be ridiculed and laughed at.

You crazy Christian you
