Uganda to reinstate death penalty for Homosexuality

[Neutraligon]

Keep it related to Uganda you guy.

[Risottia]

It's even better if the gun is held by another Ugandan. These days, if a European says "human rights are being violated" the standard answer is "shuddup ya neocolonialist".

The forces of social justice can stand over a dead black child and say "well at least he was killed by a person who looked like him"

people like me find no comfort in that fact

That's what happens when people label as "neocolonialism" an action to affirm human rights.

It's happening all over Africa and Asia. You bet that the first European nation that will say "hey Uganda how about not killing your people for being gay" will be called "a filthy imperialist who wants to sap and impurify the Ugandan heterosexual blood".

No. They will be called a filthy imperialist who wishes to force the sovereign population of Uganda to reneg on their human right to self determination and instead accept under duress and at knife point foreign cultural values. How would you feel if a foreign power barged into your country and demanded you make cultural changes to fit with their morality?

Fact of the matter is it's simple. Our right to live in western liberal societies is based upon the right to self determination. And we must therefore protect that right even when it is used in ways we find displeasing. Because once you make a precedent for people loosing a right every time they "misuse" it it stops being a right at all. And soon everyone looses it in the name of some cause or the other.

Why would they care about being a Chinese colony compared to a Western one? China isn't going to give a shit and Chinese money is as good as western money these days. Face facts, the only way human rights are getting enforced is at the barrel of a gun.

Well duh. Only the West* is neurotic enough to actually invade a country over ideology.


*And a select few insane third world Maoists

Most Europeans will find 90% of Ugandan cultural practices to be barbaric and disgusting, not just their treatment of gays.

They just don't care enough to go down there and force them to change (assuming that is something that can be done). And why should they?

Calling a cultural practice "barbaric" is the matter of opion and europeans certanly have no right to change and destroy outher cultures becuase they think they are "barbaric".

My culture is not just different than one that kills gays, it's better. Enough with this cultural relativism. Just because a culture exists does not mean it is worth preserving.

I mean. They were the ones who made it homophobic in the first place.

Doesn't your culture still have discrimination and hate crimes against gay people? Isn't it elements of your culture that is promoting these laws in Uganda?

Invade Uganda, Gulf War style

That's my solution

How about no

Nah. I think simply placing embargo’s on Uganda and cutting off aid until they reverse this utterly disgusting and barbaric law is a much better solution.

Uganda is right to make sodomy a capital offense in law, but I’m concerned that this will lead to differential enforcement- after all, heterosexual sodomy is a greater degeneration from the natural order.

this "natural order" sounds like it suuuuuuuucks

Are you seriously agreeing with killing people because they fuck someone who is the same gender as them? You do understand that killing someone for having consensual relations with another person is idiotic right?

Sodomy - a fun option for everyone regardless of gender or orientation!

It shouldn't be a crime, let alone a capital one.

Sodomy is horrifically evil regardless of consent or gender.

Utter nonsense. Sodomy is just anal or oral sex. There is nothing wrong with two consenting adults choosing to have sex either anally or orally. Suggesting otherwise is just silly talk.

Please, go ahead and give a secular explanation of how a sex act between consenting adults can be horrifically evil.

a foolish one to be ignored but no.
