UN Votes Against Protecting Gays from Execution

[iedhunter44]

why do we have those third world countries in the UN anyways. They will always vote against proggress.

@iedhunter44

Not sure I agree with that 100%. You've got to remember that it is the fault of the imperialist oppressors of history (i.e. the modern 'first world'), not to mention the system of capitalism, that they are in this backward state in the first place.

[iedhunter44]

@ourhandsaretied i'm not talking about system of governance, i'm talking about moral ethics. You have to understand that not every country out there is at the same stage of moral development as us (the West). We have come far as a culture in our tolarance for others who do not share the same beliefs as us, if you think about it not too long ago we were burning heretics alive and now we're not. So your saying that fact that Iran kills gays and lesbians is because of imperialism? Give me a break.

[ourhandsaretied]

@iedhunter44

No, I think it is you who needs to understand. Iran (to use the example you said) has a high proportion of religion. It has a high proportion of religion because it is scientifically (and, some may argue, culturally) backwards. This backwardness is from imperialism. They kill gays and lesbians because of religion. Therefore, yes, INDIRECTLY imperialism is to blame for this.

[iedhunter44]

@ourhandsaretied You do realize they have been doing this even before Americans or European had even thought about invading their lands. You give them too much credit my friend, all imperialism is bad even ISLAMIC imperialism.

[ourhandsaretied]

@iedhunter44

Which would be hundreds and hundreds of years ago- it was justified to be backwards then. And yes, of course Islamic imperialism is bad, but many of the countries who voted this down were slavishly christian ones in africa, so this isn't about Islam or Christianity, just religion in general.

[iedhunter44]

@ourhandsaretied with that i have to agree, religions are so 1800s. We don't need them anymore. Have you read the book The End of Faith by Sam Harris? I cant recommend it enough.

[ourhandsaretied]

@iedhunter44

I'll take a look :)

[iedhunter44]

@ourhandsaretied good, take care brother. Let the power of reason win over faith!

THIS DID NOT STAND IT WAS PUT RIGHT SO NO WORRIES. The shits who thought they might get away with this deserve to be spat on by 10000000 camels

[jasonbutler419]

This is utterly insane! Even the majority of homophobic bigots I know would be against this.

[DoctorNociceptor]

I thought that human societies usually went FORwards... though, on that note, it probably won't stay this way for too long.

[ballucanb1]

[ourhandsaretied]

@ballucanb1

Ah good stuff; sorry, didnt realise

[ballucanb1]

@ballucanb1 I posted it on a site I frequent I hope it helped a little.

[fulaqws]

Oh my god! Really..? Really?! What the fuck is the UN doing? What the fuck is the point of having an organisation that fights for peace and equality, if the members can vote against the whole point of the organisation?

[Leadman1989]

[ourhandsaretied]

@Leadman1989

[Leadman1989]
