Need a Permit to Play Frisbee

[dashiellx]

I know it's not totally DG related but:

City of Glen Eira demands $120 permit for throwing a frisbee

 

[MrFixIt]

I bet they have pay toilets as well... :doh:

This is extortion by an over-zealous government.

This sort of thing has led to my current political belief which is neither conservative or liberal just that the government needs to be smaller.

And I was thinking I'd have to move to Australia after the election. Oh well - guess I'll have to look somewhere else.

 

[rd.bittle]

It might be worth it. Depends on how long its been since I played.

Actually, that would be a conservative thought :|

But yeah, that's absolutle

Sounds like a slow week for the Glen Eira police...I couldnt imagine having a cop come up to me in highschool during one of our regulary scheduled ultimate games and tell us we had to pay 300 to play for 6 months..yikes

Must be head up by Ron Swanson.

It's never too early to learn that the government is a greedy piglet that suckles on a taxpayer's teet until they have sore, chapped nipples.

yes, but only one side is going to make the government smaller (R)

In before the inevitable!

Don't believe this? Just look at the expenditures by the government over the last 4 years.

 

[Brall]

RELVOLT!!

I would like to publicly apologize to the mods in this forum. I should not have started a political discussion in a disc golf thread. I can already see this is not going to end well. :/

Obviously they are playing ultimate, or just catch and throw, but this does effect the DG community, ESPECIALLY when this state is hosting the Australian Championships in 3 weeks, plenty of big kids hucking frisbees!

yes, but only one side is going to make the government smaller (L)

FTFY

let me post the inevitable Ignorant American Post (or as my friends in Sydney and London calls them, IAP): Australia has States?

That is the line in the sand! If/when this happens in the US it is time to take up arms against a tyrannical government! Who's with me?
