RT guest hijacks Bradley Manning coverage to talk about Russia's anti-gay laws - Polidicks

Strapping on rainbow suspenders he instead took aim at Russia's recent anti-gay law banning "propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations."[/quote]

I'm surprised they didn't cut him off

Should have pointed out the irony of RT for bashing America for what it calls "inhumane" treatment of Bradley Manning.

Wow, Larry King's new gig is really doing good for his health.

'James' 'James!' 'James but what about Bradley Manning!'

[QUOTE=preebird;41923483]I'm surprised they didn't cut him off[/QUOTE] At least unlike most western media they let him say his spiel until it just got repetitive and alex jonesish. He started out strong but fizzled into in-coherency by the end.

well i'm pretty sure he just kept talking for the sake of talking at that point

That's awesome

Honestly I agree with Russia's stance on the laws - if you're a guy and you like taking cocks up your bum, that's fine, but don't show your sexual interests to others. I mean fuck, I'm straight, but do I go around parading "HETEROSEXUAL PRIDE!"? Fuck no. Parading your sexual orientation is stupid.

[QUOTE=Dj-J3;41928347]So you agree with russia that men being together should get them jailed?[/QUOTE] You're misinformed. People don't get arrested for being homosexuals, they get arrested for shit like gay parades and such.

I don't care how uncomfortable you are with gay people "parading their sexual orientation", whatever it is, it's not worth the kids that're getting harassed and killed by russian Neo Nazis who think they're defending Russia from pedophiles

[QUOTE=LEETNOOB;41928383]You're misinformed. People don't get arrested for being homosexuals, they get arrested for shit like gay parades and such.[/QUOTE] They're also arrested for talking in public about being gay/lesbian/bi altogether. Mind telling me why that's a right thing to do?

[QUOTE=LEETNOOB;41928383]You're misinformed. People don't get arrested for being homosexuals, they get arrested for shit like gay parades and such.[/QUOTE] Yeah they just get tortured for it instead

The problem is that those 'children' you spoke of are much more sensitive to all sorts of information, and what some people find as a simple act of openly admitting to something they're after, children may be much more affected (and/or interested) by the same event. But hey, I don't expect anyone to believe me here; you have your opinion, I have mine.

[QUOTE=LEETNOOB;41928425]and what some people find as a simple act of openly admitting to something they're after, children may be much more affected by the same event.[/QUOTE] Did you really just say 'but they might turn children gay'?

[QUOTE=LEETNOOB;41928383]You're misinformed. People don't get arrested for being homosexuals, they get arrested for shit like gay parades and such.[/QUOTE] they also get arrested for any open display of homosexuality, i.e. being with a male spouse. so no, he's not misinformed

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;41928430]Did you really just say 'but they might turn children gay'?[/QUOTE] Oh yes, homosexuality is all genetics. Of course. [editline]22nd August 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Cone;41928440]they also get arrested for any open display of homosexuality, i.e. being with a male spouse. so no, he's not misinformed[/QUOTE] Huh, never heard of that happening, mind giving a link to that?

[QUOTE=LEETNOOB;41928383]You're misinformed.

Then again you probably don't have a girlfriend because you seem like a prude who clearly is incapable of handling public displays of affection.

[QUOTE=Timebomb575;41928474]So how would you feel if you got arrested and/or beaten up for being out with your girlfriend and giving her a kiss?[/quote] (mis-read, so I edit this now) I'd be angry, but that really doesn't change anything because it'd still be against what people consider natural. [quote]Then again you probably don't have a girlfriend because you seem like a prude who clearly is incapable of handling public displays of affection.[/QUOTE] Joke's on you, I do.

[QUOTE=LEETNOOB;41928491]Joke's on you, I do.[/QUOTE] That poor unfortunate woman.

[QUOTE=Scot;41928499]That poor unfortunate woman.[/QUOTE] Yes, yes, foreshadow interpersonal relationships based on your bias towards a person because his opinions differ from yours.

[QUOTE=LEETNOOB;41928508]Yes, yes, foreshadow interpersonal relationships based on your bias towards a person because his opinions differ from yours.[/QUOTE] I wasn't really serious I'm sure you're an okay guy despite the shit you're spouting in this thread.

[QUOTE=LEETNOOB;41928491]If it was her decision, I'd simply break up with her, and feel sorry for you. If it wasn't - I don't know. Though I really don't get what this has to do with anything. Joke's on you, I do.[/QUOTE] Is she just as bigoted as you?
