The Catholics are basically shutting down the whole CBD during their stupid Youth Day. No religion should have any right to do that. But Sydney officials just keep letting foreign forces walk all over the city, as they close down streets and sections of town. Same thing happened when George W. Bush visited. It's so frustrating for residents that just want to go to work or go about their business. Luckily I will not be in the city over that time.
Not only that, but our stupid mafia NSW Govt is banning any Tshirts/skateboarding(!)/protests that pigrims may deem ANNOYING!
Yes I'm very bloody annoyed, thank you lol
I'm poped out. There was an hour-long 'special' on the news of him driving around... He's been on the front page of every newspaper for days... sigh...
please go home now.
Damn. If only I had the Internet (it was on the fritz), then I would know about this and could make my way to Darlinghurst.
I'm with the first comment - I can't believe they shut down the whole city just so the Pope could make his way into Sydney.
I saw a documentary just last week and in it, the guy who made the documentary (who is Atheist) was asking why so many young people have ditched religion. Well no wonder fucking why, it's one of the most human-oppressive things on the planet.
And I really hated the way the news coverage viewed the visit of the Pope in the positive light.
Okay, I am rambling on now, but I think people know my stance on religion here.
Why doesn't the media focus on all the bad things the pope says? grrr.
