Title: Saudi Arabia goes once more into the fray
Post by: ironbite on April 16, 2012, 01:52:47 pm
The fray of fighting homosexuality that is (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/16/saudia-arabia-bans-gays-tom-boys-schools_n_1428907.html)

Quote
A new report released this morning states that Saudia Arabia has asked its Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice to begin enforcing the banishment of gay and "tom boy" students from schools and universities in an attempt to further thwart homosexuality in the country, where it is already considered a capital offense.

Seriously we need to go in and get these morons out of power.  They do so much damage because of their own bias.  It would be so sweet if it was found that each and every single one of these old bearded idiots was doing some 12 year old during meetings.

Ironbite-wonder if they'd set their own police after them.

The last time we went in to get a moron out of power (or so the excuse was), we not only wasted thousands of taxpayer money (much of which was shouldered by the middle class) but we also made the situation WORSE when even bigger morons took over.

Still, this is horrible.

With Saudi Arabia honestly I'm thinking just everyone should stop buying oil

This but it isn't that easy. Even if we somehow managed to get North America to stop, doesn't mean that China and other big importers would.

I'm not sure if this is better or worse than Iran's "gay don't exist" shit they said a while back.

That and even if the Saudis weren't rich, they'd still be the same backwards, Islamic nutters they are now.

And the American south would still be the same backwards, Christian nutters.

A little irrelevant and random, but I guess Saudi Arabia's oil money or lack thereof would indeed have a limited effect on religious attitudes in the American South.

Well part of the problem is that Saudi oil money does not trickle down

It's not economic at all. The problem is that not just the government but also the religion and the culture actively encourage this sort of behavior. If it were about wealth than the upper and middle classes should be majority opposed to such actions.

I was going more by the idea if wealth was better distributed then democracy might come

Sigh, what do you say to this to do this sort of thing justice, really?
