Don't post up lies if you don't want them taken down, there is absolutely nothing wrong with telling the true statistics and basing your argument off of that, that's completely respectable and reasonable. Fair - however I’ve seen lies from both sides - the no side with their 1 in 5 is completely incorrect however I’ve also seen the yes side scaremongering the no side is getting people removed from voting registers

RobertKK wrote: » Whatever side one supports, it is illegal to remove posters that have been given a legal right to be put up. I presume people here are adults, so if something annoys them, they can control their feelings and express that feeling in a yes or no vote. Wanting to be a censor of a yes or no material on a pole says one has doubts their side will win and that the poster is effective.

Why is it on issues like that, that they have unlimited funding. And then they go calling pro abortion activists nazis. What the ****? How many vote yes posters do you see compared to vote no? Same with gay marriage yeah because gay marriage affects your pathetic life so ****ing much that you have to prevent other people getting married. I am furious for not taking down the anti gay marriage posters. I won't make the same mistake again.

I was going to vote yes then saw the carry on of the yes supporters and want nothing to do with them. Actually your attitude is enforcing my decision to not vote yes.

I wonder have anyone told there you know I thought of you as nothing but a parasite using my body. For all of us who feel like turning away from the yes side because of this please do not. Vote for what you think is right. In relation to posters why is it they are forcing there opinion on people when you oppose it but if it's something you support it's just information. We are in a democracy and both sides are entitled to put there sides forward. I do agree with people here that all posters should be banned

It was a tactic seen during the last referendum, usually by people who were self aware enough of their prejudices to cling to other reasons to espouse their voting choices.
robarmstrong wrote: » If it is inaccurate, it should not be put up in the first place, not that difficult to understand. There is no need to resort to lies and purposefully misleading posters/items/etc, it just reeks of desperation, nothing wrong with pro-life admitting they were lying and then basing their arguments/debates on the actual facts.
