my apologies this didnt make it up in time for my usual Saturday morning piss and moan session, however here it is.
Why is it, that on Good Friday we cant really do ANYTHING. All the shops are shut, there's no footy, people say you arent even supposed to eat meat!!! YET on Anzac Day, shops are open, there is footy, and we are encouraged to have a BBQ. Why the restrictions on all Australians on Good Friday, when not everyone is religious? If you are going to impose restrictions on things we can do (which is bullshit anyway) then do it on Anzac Day, a day that affects ALL Australians. Not Good Friday, a day that I and many other Australians dont give a stuff about. We are so focused and strict on observing a day for a mythical figure and a bunch of folklore, yet the wars that have actually happened, and people that have really died to protect our freedom and our country, get in comparison stuff all. Now, I dont think there should be restrictions on what we can do Anzac Day. I think its great that we can go to the footy, or the pub or wherever, because they fought for our freedom, so we should be enjoying it. What I DO have a problem with, is that Im forced to observe this religious holiday that to be honest I think is a load of shit. We have our priorities f**ked at the moment. I offer no apology to all the catholics or christians or whoever out there. If you want to waste your time on this rubbish go for it, but the decision to take a day out of our lives and observe your rubbish holiday should be optional, and right now it isnt.
