Quote:If they get a bit preachy with me I admire it as it shows that they have strong opinions.
It also often shows they are arrogant, aggressive and ignorant, with no respect for the feelings or rights of others . They can drop dead, or better, burst into flames; at least that would be entertaining.
What do I actually do? Walk away,unless it's on a forum to which I belong. A rare occurrence here in my state. Occasionally we get a small group in the city mall. When they start using loud speakers,the police cart them off. Although Aussies are fairly laid-back,we tend to have a healthy suspicion of and contempt for proselytisers of all kinds. The same goes for dickheads who bung a flag in their front yard. Here love of country is assumed,needing no displays of vulgar ostentation. We leave that to the Americans.
