United Nations: It's Okay to Kill Gays

[Midna]

I will be extremely disappointed if anyone comes in here and supports this. As if my faith in humanity wasn't diminished enough as it is.

 

[BlueStar]

While it's a disappointing development, it's not true (and is just a tiny bit hysterical) to say the UN has ruled "It's OK to kill gays". The resolution still says "to investigate promptly and thoroughly all killings (...) committed for any discriminatory reason".

 

[Santee]

Nothing has changed, it was illegal to be gay before and after the proposed amendment and from what I read being gay isn't the only reason to be killed in those countries, so what this discussion should be about is human rights not gay killings.

Ridiculous

Seriously, what?

Before this topic gets closed I'll say one last thing... It doesn't matter how you die because everyone else is dying in 2012.. But on a serious note.. Close it before people start posting their beliefs online and fighting to the death on whether it's ok or not..

No, if people want to post their beliefs, let them, if it gets out of hand, which it hasn't, then a Mod'll sort out the mess, so shush.

Precisely, as far as I know the UN is nothing more but a group party discussing their issues while laughing at them. I waited to go to the UN (It's in NY too) but why? Why go to a place that can't even solve most of their dirty laundry let alone helping each other getting their load done? Plus its all about $$$, media-hype, cultural influence, and most important religious strengths. No even the UN don't care about religion.

They might as well say it's ok to kill jews. WTF are they even thinking?! God, the UN is a joke. A bad joke, that no on laughs at.

Exactly. That's the point. They were about to change that, but then had a majority vote to keep it as it is. They ruled against all the other grounds for executions, but conveniently left this one out.

And why is everyone predicting a flame war and topic close? Unless people come in here and start advocating gay killings.

Show me one piece of evidence that supports 2012 that isn't an ancient clendar. Because clendars lie. Everything needs a clendar.

Did you just say Vietnam? Vietnam happens to have a great education, and a good economy, though ruled by communists. Last time I've visited, it looked very civilized and advanced to the point where in the middle of the city, you see a giant KFC. And just because the country is communist, doesn't necessarily make it bad. This makes your information biased, and in no means completely true.

I made a quote from first page.
Never mind, if you define culture and education by how many McDonalds and KFCs a country has, I suppose you don't even know what culture means.
you can find KFCs and McDonalds in Saudi-Arabia everywhere, still the thinking of people their is extremely behind time and the country is ruled by religious clerics and a Dictator. What I meant was the whole political situation, not the exterior appearance.

I don't know where you get your Informations from, but Vietnam is a poor country, has a lot of political instability and many other problems, check wikipedia and I visited it in 2008 too.

The KFC part was a joke, but read my edited post. I hope you know how to read sarcasm.

[megawalk]

everyday. racism, racism, racism...
it's sad to see that great leader types are being the biggest racists of them all

i mean...executing for being gay ?
that sounds alot like a mistake of the history repeated "AGAIN"
it's as if humanity didn't learn from their preliminear mistakes >.>
ww1 ww2
civil war. gulf war.
name it...everything returns to "Point Blank"

 

[Snorlax]

Sigh.
The world is really beginning to suck. At first, I could overlook all the other shit- but this has gone too far.

 

[trumpet-205]

For me, you cannot factor sexual orientation into executions. If those two men from Iran were executed because they do something illegal, then I have no objection to that.

But if Iran executed those two men because they are gay, then absolutely NO.
