the main difference if it were muslim would be that all the rednecks would come out (like the Camden school thing)

JESUS CHRIST! The ignorance of some people!^CoSMic DoRiS^^ said:I'm angrier over these nutbag annoyance laws than the actual WYD event itself, tbh. I wouldn't object to WYD being held here at all if it wasn't going to be
a) a giant pain in the ass for the rest of us who just want to get on with our lives/work/etc while it's on
b) if the government would stop with this ridiculous "oh just take a week off work and work from home", "oh just leave your car in the garage for a week" like it's that simple and
c) if they'd stop introducing new police power bullshit that stops us being able to voice frustration in any other way than simply not going anywhere near the event, which I imagine for most of us is going to be a little hard...?
If the Islams wanted to hold a similar event I'd feel the same way as I do about WYD, which is: Do it if you like, but don't expect people to bend over backwards to accommodate you more than we already are by letting you hold this massive event in our city and annoy us all for a week.

Believe it or not, there actually is a difference between muslims and Islam.
MUSLIMS are the people who follow the religion of ISLAM.
It's like saying: If the Buddihsms wanted to hold a similar event I'd feel the same way as I do about WYD

A rail strike on World Youth Day appears to have been averted after the Government reached agreement with the rail unions at a three-hour meeting today to continue pay negotiations this afternoon.
The unions will now take the negotiated settlement to a vote of their delegates this afternoon and if passed, there will be no strike on World Youth Day, Deputy Premier John Watkins confirmed.
"It was a very positive meeting, a great deal of cooperation and the parties have come to an agreement to recommence EBA negotiations at 9am tomorrow morning [and] subject to confirmation this afternoon by delegates, industrial action has been agreed to dropped,'' Mr Watkins said.
Earlier today the Industrial Commission declined to call off the dispute.
