Uganda newspaper names 200 'homos' after anti-gay law signed

Say something original. You quoting Socrates does not gift you with any of the respect his name carries.

Besides, it's only slander if it's not true

I am human, therefore it is slander.
 
WTH do you do when someone who holds such an unabashedly hateful, ignorant position towards someone for something so innocent. It's so ugly it brings tears to my eyes.

You let them live their life and you live your own. You recognize it is their burden to carry, not yours.

What does you being human have to do with it. The definition of slander is make false and damaging statements about (someone). Based on your statements here, I stand by my assessment
 

A key word for a search term. It is so I can find your post and quote it if I need it. I figure down the line, it would only be fair to re-post it when I see people debating you on the topic of gay rights so that they know exactly who they are dealing with and can make the appropriate determination of whether it is worth their time.
 
They should just leave them alone and let AIDS do its job.

Gay in Africa? Not a matter of if. Just when.

Morbid. You do know that HIV does not discriminate? It does not care whether you are gay or straight.

that's wise and I get there. it's that initial punch to the gut that gets to me. In all honesty I usually end up feeling bad for them. ( how condescending is that?!)

You feel how you feel. If you have to pity someone in this world then it should probably be the people who would resort to intimidation and violence to push their political aims. Somebody who uses their religion to justify the idea of locking gays up for life is little different than a terrorist to me. They want to use fear and force to impose their religious interpretation on others.

Libbos do it all the time

You claimed that I had no humanity, because you had no rational argument to make.

Just send the link to yourself.
 
So you also support locking up gays for life?

See what I mean? If the Libbos don't like what you have to say, they automatically demonize you. The same rationale used to justify anti-gay laws in Uganda.

I bet these 200 people wish it wasn't illegal to own a gun in Uganda.

I was specifying because the poster you quoted was speaking about Paleocon who had just stated that he felt locking up gays for life was an acceptable punishment. I was curious whether you shared Paleocon's view.

No you weren't. You were baiting me with a, "do you still beat your wife" wuestion in an attempt to paint me as anti-gay.

This is what he said...

I do not believe that life imprisonment is an unjust penalty for the crime of sodomy.

That poster was referring to that statement and you jumped in. That was why I was trying to clarify.
 
Enough butt-hurt. The thread's de-railing. Wah-wah-wah somewhere else.
 
You claimed that I had no humanity, because you had no rational argument to make.

you make assumptions
 
This whole situation is due to Christian intolerance, arrogance and ignorance and is funded by the American Evangelical community. Hence sending the Evangelicals over there and taking the homosexuals instead would solve a lot of problems would it not?

No, it's far more likely that this is due to worldwide media and everyone in the world seeing how if a Western nation gives homosexuals an inch, they take a mile and how they'll steamroll over everyone else's rights to push their agenda. What's playing out here is being seen around the world. Far easier to stop the same fate from occurring, stop the oppression of all citizens in the name of Totalitarian Liberalism, by nipping the issue at the bud.

And how exactly are homosexuals 'steamroll(ing) over everyone else's rights'?

Wow...... just wow.... that you actually believe this horse**** just shows the problem with social conservatism....

So it is fine that right wing social conservatism pushes their outdated views on everyone else, but when homosexuals demand the same rights as everyone else then they are the radicals? Guess you had the same view of black people and women right? Those damn liberals pushing their freedom loving equality views on everyone?
