Uganda's Parliament has vowed to pass the "Kill the Gays" bill as a 'Christmas Present' - Polidicks

rofl such obvious human rights abuses out the ass [video=youtube;u62OtM_vt5k]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u62OtM_vt5k[/video] [sp]this video shows how fucked up the antigay side is[/sp]

[QUOTE=latin_geek;38437916]Isn't this against international treaties or whatever? Surely someone would intervene if it suddenly was legal to kill people because they're gay.[/QUOTE] Because someone has intervened on all the shit that goes on in North Korea for example...

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;38437955]Oh god no that title is by far held by Liberia.[/QUOTE] Oh Liberia. What a wonderful country that we helped destroy.

[QUOTE=DeanWinchester;38439030]Because someone has intervened on all the shit that goes on in North Korea for example...[/QUOTE] North Korea has nukes. Afghanistan does not have nukes. Iraq does not have nukes. Libya does not have nukes. Uganda does not have nukes. See a pattern?

Please step out.

[quote]The law will broaden the criminalization of same-sex relationships by dividing homosexuality into two categories; aggravated homosexuality and the offense of homosexuality. ‘Aggravated homosexuality’ is defined as gay acts committed by parents or authority figures, HIV-positive people, pedophiles and repeat offenders. If convicted, they will face the death penalty. … The ‘offense of homosexuality’ includes same-sex sexual acts or being in a gay relationship, and will be prosecuted by life imprisonment.[/quote] also apparently this bill has been passed.

Where's that video ah Here it is [video=youtube;euXQbZDwV0w]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euXQbZDwV0w[/video] [B]Edit[/B]Aw shit someone already posted it

[quote]"If homosexuality is a value for the people of Canada they should not seek to force Uganda to embrace it. We are not a colony or a protectorate of Canada," the paper quoted Kadaga as saying.[/quote] I don't understand why our government is even bothering to give this country foreign aid anymore. Either nobody there gives a shit that their government is killing people for meager lifestyle choices, or everybody is totally behind it. "Embrace it"? What the fuck, how is there such a huge disparity in their morals, at the very least they need to "tolerate gay people" but apparently the climax of "embracing homosexuality" to these people is [I]not killing them[/I].

you know what'd be a better gift for christmas than human rights violations? socks, underwear, fruitcake basically [I]anything[/I]

Now it's just life imprisonment. Not a whole lot better, but still.

True.

this is why I support imperialism

And in return the Ugandan Parliament will receive a gift! I hear Tomahawk missiles are very fashionable for third-world leaders this time of year, straight down the chimney!

Steps to rectify this: 1: At the UN, gather up as many nations as possible that give Uganda aid money. Ideally this should be enough to give Uganda an offer they cannot refuse. 2: Convince those nations to cut the funding at a given deadline if this nonsense doesn't stop, and agree on a deadline. 3: Present Uganda with the offer they cannot refuse. 4: Follow through on pulling the aid if they fail to drop this anti-gay nonsense.

I would love so very much for the UN to walk in and stop this before it starts. This flies in the face of every sense of human decency. It's a direct violation of the very notion of equality and human rights. [B]This[/B] is where the blue helmets and the diplomats should be going, places like this shithole that are just ruining the lives of thousands. Whenever I see these cases, my chronic depression starts rearing it's ugly head. That we can sit here, in our well heated houses surrounded by technology that would render most people speechless, and let this travesty happen, it sickens me. It's what causes me to doubt the validity of our very society, if we can sit by while things like "Kill the gays" and the other garbage that the more backwards countries pull just goes on. Western imperialism contributed greatly to this disaster (Africa in general, not just this) and when they truly need us, we forget about them and discuss the latest episode of [I]Big Bang Theory[/I] instead. Ugh How we even let these types of countries contribute to the international community os beyond me. The UN should set a single, universal standard of living and set of human rights, and work ceaselessly to enforce those standards. But instead, we get every notion cockblocked by power blocs, at the expanse of the average person.

Yeah, I can see what you mean when you say the anarchy that followed the decolonization of Africa lead to the current clusterfuck, but that's more the fault of it not being a more gradual process plus the previous decades of mistreatment rather then them simply not knowing how to handle themselves.

You know, america is a shithole, but it'll never be this bad. [editline]13th November 2012[/editline] hopefully.

Uganda must love going backwards instead of forward.

[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;38440618]plenty of societies have recovered from decades of mistreatment at the hands of colonial powers, stop making excuses for the shockingly poor record of africa[/quote] Right but the main problem is the European powers just claimed anything they wanted and those borders stuck. So when the independence movements started, they were claiming already formed national borders instead of traditional cultural borders. And, yeah, Africa is kinda backwards, as I said. The tribal societies really aren't big on outsiders. Places like the US were formed by people from already, for lack of a better term, civilized nations. The African territories were comprised mainly of the mostly uneducated, superstitious and tribal natives who the European powers used less like citizens and more like resources. I'm not saying all the European powers were ruthless fascists who hated their colonial citizens, but they weren't exactly kind either. [quote]it's condescending in the extreme[/quote] How and to who? [quote]I don't think anyone can deny that Africa would be a much more stable place if it was still governed by a stable foreign land. I don't even mean Europe necessarily; America or Japan could do the job just fine.[/QUOTE] There, Dain, we agree, as I support a fully unified Earth with one central government. Obviously each individual member will get a fair amount of autonomy reflecting individual cultural differences. Honestly, I imagine something like the UN but with absolute legislative power.

what disgusts me is that religious groups in the western world actually advocate this

[quote]How and to who?[/quote] you're using the plight of africans to score political points. you don't give a shit about them, you just want to follow whatever ideology is fashionable, and the one right now (and has been for the past few decades) is anti-colonialism.

I support a stable, effective government that provides for people's safety and defends their property rights.
