Death penalty for gays? Uganda debates proposal

Featured Replies

This is why I hate people.

 

And parents.

 

And religion.

 

Why can't people stop descrimination? It's like, in their DNA or something. They just have to be asses all the time.

 

It's not 1886 anymore, people. EVOLVE.

 

^ +1,000,000 to Christina.

 

My parents are both Christian homophobes who view homosexuals as sick people, and I'm afraid both of my brothers (particularly the younger of the two) will turn out the same way. Every time something involving one of them comes up, they sit there and bash the poor person, telling them they're going to burn in hell. Reading this article reminded me of that in a way, although I doubt my parents would run around killing people because of that. Discrimination, particularly to the point of genocide, is unacceptable and should be stopped.

This.

 

Like Voltaire said: what astonish me is not that human intelligence has limits. It's that human stupidity has none.

And when you start to think that the world may be going in a positive direction,

you read something like this, and realise how backwards and fucked parts of the world can be.

 

Very true.

THIS

The people who invented this shit should be sent directly into the sun :dozey:

Why? It's true there is no limit to human stupidity! He said that's to him, it's a pity. I don't see why it's shocking!

Argh I didn't mean it like that! The things I've said under the quote were related to the thread topic, not to what you've said. :worried: I have to learn how to quote ... :facepalm:

It's OK. I understood what you meant completely.

The reaction of most of you in this topic is completely over the top, Im not saying that a law such as this isn't shocking, inhumane and disgusting, but homosexuality is already illegal in many countries.

 

And already punishable by death in a handful of countries, most notably India.

Is it really? Why was I not aware of this!?!? :angry:

It doesnt really mean gays around the world are dying, it just means gays around the world aren't coming out being allowed to live the way they want and have much of their sexual freedom taken from them.

And I find that in itself to be completely wrong. It's not like they're bad people.

Doesn't make it any less shocking...

THIS.

 

It's more than wrong.

 

It's dictatorship.

Yeah it does.

 

Many people have reacted in this thread like this is the first time legislation such as this has been considered, and it hasnt been passed yet.

Well, people with mental illnesses used to be stoned to death to avoid spoiling the gene pool, now everyone is bleating on about how the rate of those illnesses whatever are rising. It's one way to deal with one part of HIV/AIDS and easier than trying to control the disease by coming up with vaccines and the sort, whether it is a humane one of course pretty much nobody will agree with.

 

Um, what exactly is your point here? that homosexuals carry more HIV/AIDS in Africa so it is a logical reason to kill them there? Just for your information, heterosexuals transmit the majority of HIV/AIDS cases in Africa. HIV/AIDS is not a gay disease.

Whatever happened to exile? They'd rather kill them than just kick them out of their straight-paradise?

 

Oh, if only everyone owned a machine gun! And yes, I'm being absolutely serious. Defend your goddamn rights!

[thought]Yes that is a fair point...[/thought]

[thought]DUDE :stunned: [/thought]

Reilly, I can already buy other stuff that can kill me and people in my vicinity. Machine guns just make it quicker and are slightly more effective! For some reason people (especially non-Americans) believe that when you get a gun, you start randomly firing it like Yosemite Sam.

The BBC thought it would be good to debate the topic, but don't you dare debate anthropogenic global warming! :laugh3:

Dont try and reason with me on the idea that every human being should own a machine gun, you quackjob.

LMAO

 

How about I phrase it a different way: Every human being should be equally powerful.

not to cause drama.. but gay/bi is a choice..

I would know.. because my friend Breanna went from straight to bi to straight..

you can be born on the opposite sex's side, but that doesn't mean you have to get in bed with or date the same sex

if you don't believe me, I even have a few bi friends who can tell you the same thing

and.. if you wanna go ahead and turn this whole board against me, I don't care

now I know why you guys are against Christianity, thats just wrong

I'm not really for the whole death thing though

So... could you switch sides if you wanted to? How tough would it be for you to do that?
