  • TruthTeller50, on 07/15/2008, -1/+1Ridiculous. And probably untrue.
    • dtele, on 07/15/2008, -1/+1Did you even read the article?
      FTA: "In 2006, the parliament passed the World Youth Day Act which allowed the World Youth Day Authority to pass the annoyance clause in 2008"
    • TruthTeller50, on 07/15/2008, -2/+1Temper temper . . .
      • dtele, on 07/17/2008, -0/+1Oh sorry.
        I didn't realise you were a troll
  • shtonkalot, on 07/15/2008, -0/+1It's been overturned now, but yes it was true.
    RTFA, well the title at least... "NoToPope Coalition can annoy Catholics, court says"
    From the article..
    "Two Sydney activists have won a Federal Court challenge to special World Youth Day (WYD) laws carrying $5,500 fines for annoying pilgrims."... "Justices Catherine Branson, Robert French and Margaret Stone today ruled the specific clause relating to annoying and inconveniencing pilgrims went beyond the intention of state parliament."
  • TruthTeller50, on 07/22/2008, -0/+1Be honest, show class even when others do not, and they call you a troll.
    Thanks dtele, for trying to welcome me to the Digg community.
