The "Compassionate Conservatives" are suddenly M.I.A. when Uganda drafts legislation to execute gays

Title pretty much says it all. That country even proposes a 3yr jail sentence for heterosexuals who "know" that someone is gay, but fail to report them as such to authorities!

What's wrong with teaching Abstinence AND Condom use? The problem I have with both sides is that the right obviously focuses more on abstinence, and the left mostly focuses on condom. In terms of HIV (ignoring other ways of contracting the disease since the topic is about sex, willfully), abstinence provides 100% PROTECTION! Condom use provides 99% protection. So, I don't see a problem with teaching abstinence in conjunction with condom use, informing the odds. Then let them decide.

"You actually believe specially designed PAPER means anything?"

Nope. Also what I have trouble believing is that you're so inexperienced as to lack the ability to separate physical tender (i.e.) from the concept of currency; yet you persist in this ridiculous argument.

[TheLonePantheist]

@ImmortalSynn You actually believe specially designed PAPER means anything? Stacks of money doesn't mean shit unless people VOLUNTARILY believe it does. It is not my, nor anyone else's, fault if people willingly believe American paper holds more value over the resources that are literally BENEATH their feet. The only power America and Europe have over Africa is what the African governments LET them have. I have caps certain terms and can give you their definitions upon request, thank you. :)

@TheLonePantheist

...and you ACTUALLY believe that manner of drivel??

[TheLonePantheist]

@ImmortalSynn Money? Really dude...lol, you are talking about the same printed paper that is made of dead trees? Money only works when someone is regulating the RESOURCES (Food, water, metals to build things with etc.) Africa has plenty of resources on it's own, it does not need the Europeans help. Outside of Europe, the euro doesn't mean a thing, same with the dollar in regards to America. Other countries CHOOSE to let us "convert" to their currency with our own. Africa relies on no one.

"And I fail to see how only 17% of the world's population can have such a profound influence on the rest of the world"

...and that's a shortcoming on YOUR end. lol

You're forgetting the very basic (not to mention, incredibly simple to figure out) fact that:

money = power = influence = manipulation.

Now tell me, what percentage of world capital is controlled by western Whites? Take your time, I'll wait.

[TheLonePantheist]

@ImmortalSynn It depends on how broad the definition is for the words influence and manipulation. To influence something IS to manipulate it, be it beneficial or not. And I fail to see how only 17% of the world's population (depending on who you consider "white" as it seems to be the only white americans she is addressing here) can have such a profound influence on the rest of the world without linking it to some kind of superiority. She is a racist, very subtle, but a racist.

@TheLonePantheist

"I love how white people think that we "influence" the world."

I find your statement ridiculous. Anyone can "influence" anything... but there's a definitive (and in your case, unaddressed) difference between influence and manipulation/control... which is what you seem to be implying, but don't actually connect/state.

[TheLonePantheist]

I love how white people think that we "influence" the world. By suggesting this, you are saying these people are incapable of influencing, or even thinking for that matter, for themselves. White people seem to believe we have this hold on Africa (and other parts of the world), religiously, political, and influencially. Basically saying that they do not believe, rule, or influence over anything for themselves. Her racism is HIDDEN, but it is there nonetheless.
