Uganda, a stand against homosexuality? Death penalty introduced.

[dsade]

by the same logic cannibalism could be suggested to be natural as well The urges may be natural but a conscious act of acting on them or not is what separates us from the animals. Its a natural for a larger male to beat up or kill a smaller male to take his mate in the animal world, would that somehow be appropriate in the human world because its common in nature?

This requires a moral judgement that, in fact, homosexuality is wrong. Murder and cannibalism can be objectively shown to be wrong and entirely destructive to society, whereas the same cannot be demonstrated (in spite of the insanity spewed) that the world is falling into "sin".

How does eating of flesh of a person who died other than by murder qualify as objectively being destructive to society? Or that destruction of imperfectly born newborns is objectively harmful? Just about anything that deals in trying to define whether something is destructive to society or not still depends on the definition of the society itself. Marriage could be considered to be destructive to an individual society depending on the society itself.

Original intentions were for man and woman to reproduce. Man and man cannot reproduce, so I guess the question is (keeping evolution in mind) is it fair to say that a homosexual man is a defect so to speak? I don't intend for this comment to be a dergatory comment, I'm just trying to see if it sheds any light on the "it's a choice" vs. "born with homosexuality" debate.

No, not wrong per say, but certain atypical. No? It has nothing to do with "sin" in and of itself, since a sin standard is pretty subjective from person to person, but the practice is abnormal at the least.

I see it like any natural sigmoid curve, homos are just on the fringes of sexual behavior, and not at the pinnacle of the evolution of the species. It's were they have certainly always been throughout time, otherwise we'd all be budding to replicate ourselves by now.

I just wanted to insert that I don't in any way agree with uganda's decision, or even the basic premise of treating people's privately performed sexual acts as societally relevant at all, but I do support that each society has the right to define what individuals in that society have a right to do. There are no objective/universal pieces of morality just as there are no objective/universal rights of any creature whether man or other.

Good answer! You are a wise man EZ.

I would like to go one step further, and propose that all hot lesbians (only hot ones) not be punished, yet in fact be given extra special privileges for public displays of affection! This can help compensate and balance the injustice for those poor gay men being persecuted in Uganda.

Seriously though, this is really a dead issue, since we don't live in Uganda and have no background to properly judge their governmental protocols. We have enough issues of our own we could be debating.

Like the use of STEROIDS and questionable supplements?!?!


Ok, goodnight folks. Board is closed.

...just as there are no objective/universal rights of any creature whether man or other.

So, you don't subscribe to the idea of inalienable rights to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?"

(Real question. Not being argumentative.)

They are only "inalienable" rights because our society has defined them that way. If they were truly inalienable then no society would or could have ever existed without them, which isn't the case. I prefer those being treated as rights, but don't see them as universal truths or even necessarily required for a society to survive or thrive. How many thousands of years did egyptian society survive without those rights? Far longer than the US has so far.

Even without our society, the right to life is violated both by death sentences as well as 3rd trimester abortions. So obviously not inalienable even here. And although abortions weren't common at all during the time period when the bill of rights and constitution were written, the death penalty surely was.

The reason I specifically mention 3rd trimester abortions is that we now have the ability to deliver premature babies pretty successfully as early as 22 weeks into pregnancy (Florida gives a death certificate for miscarriages after week 20) so any abortions after that point are taking away the right to life of an organism that could survive outside of the mothers body. I don't mind the idea of abortions earlier than that, as up till that point the child is not capable of being delivered and surviving so it really is more of a parasite or part of the mothers body. After that point however it no longer is either a parasite or a part of the mothers body, but a living person who could be breathing the air and being fed via a bottle.

Its pretty obvious that the ballooning in the last 20 years of lesbians is partially due to the encouragement by the media and young girls questioning that since they don't at 13 or 14 find any boys attractive that maybe they are lesbians. Not very different than blaming eating disorders on skinny models

I'm not convinced it's ballooning. I think they just make it more obvious because society isn't as socially conservative here like it used to be. Some women I think are conditioned to be lesbians by society because no man would ever consider having sex with them let alone marry them. Rosie O'donnel is an example that comes to mind.

Excellent point. People are scripted from childhood and very, very few ever break free of that imprinting. Some will have it made because their parents, siblings and environment/society programmed them well at just the right times of development. Others will be screwed for life, no matter how you try to free them, destined to be born losers, or "victims of society" as they see themselves. From my observations, it's a common position of gays and lesbians to have this kind of tragic script. The deep pain and overt contempt for social convention often indicates alcoholic parental origins, and they try to pass it off on anybody with a seemingly complementary role too play. You see, there can be no victim without a persecutor and a rescuer, it's a three-handed drama triangle in the Victim Game.

This personal slavery is unknown to most people, who live out their scripts confused and oblivious to it's insidious influence. Human life is mainly a process of filling time until the ar***** of death, with little if any perceived choice of what kind of business to transact during the long wait. After all, they were "just born that way", don't you hear that a lot these days? But for some fortunate souls, there is something that transcends all these games and self-defeating behaviors, something that rises above the programming in the past, and something more rewarding than the the trivial games they enjoys playing. It's called intimacy, but it is dangerous, so people seek social circles because there is safety in numbers you know, and their losing roles solidify that much more with a losing script payoff. This may mean there is no hope for the human race, but there is certainly hope for individual members of it who finally reject their fears and embrace true autonomy.

The only people i've known with aids is my gay uncle, a guy who had gay sex for drugs and a kid born with it because his father was bisexual. If being gay was exclusively genetic, it would eventually go away. It obviously isn't. I try to be a tolerant person and don't care what people do behind closed doors but I hate the gay agenda being shoved in my face everyday. I like living in a free country, thats what we fought for but, I wish all the gays would move to Uganda.

[lutherblsstt]

Now that I can agree with!

This guy agrees with you too, luther! He said not even kids have rights.

Silly ***gots ****s are for chicks..

Simple remedy for the "issue" at hand.. If your gay don't go there.. Just like if your muslim don't go to Australia and try to press your beliefs.. This political correctness **** is the reason why our country has gone to ****s.

Yes, muslims should have nowhere near the standing they do here.

Example. A man I know is christian, walked into a chase bank that had a "no hat" policy. A muslim girl walked in same time with her hood up, he was wearing a ball cap. Guess who got asked to take off their hat? And who wasnt asked?

He looked over at the muslim and said "Do you really want to go there"

Then commented "I know this bank was started based on Godly princibles, so I will pray for it to regain its self respect."

Well he stood to the side when she was going to make him take it off or not do the transaction, and this was for church money for the church account.

He steps 3 feet over, starts praying out loud in the middle of the bank holding up the line and everything. And he said he would pray until he could do his banking, or the news people show up.

She eventually told him just to come over and hurry it up, and yet...low and behold there was a 100 dollar bonus added to the deposit for being a "preferred customer" hahaha.

muslims here, may be mostly normal people, but like gays they are given special privileges that are in no way earned.

Equality is what were supposed to be about.


I dont like being around them, they show no respect.

[TheLastRonin]

I dont like being around them, they show no respect.

That is plain ignorant. Not all Muslims are like that, especially in other countries. There are americanized ones (I find many Americans rude and disrespectful, but not all of them) and there are extremists but there are also loving family oriented ones that are very respectful.
I am not a Muslim BTW lol, but I know many people of varied faiths. The rudest ones actually I have found have been hardcore fundamentalist Christians and hardcore Evolutionists. They have more in common than they think.
If you want to blame people for the state of all this PC bs..blame the media and propagandists in the world. They are paid gossipers and Kaniver's.
