Uganda plans death penalty for homosexuals

[dipsydoodle]

Source: BBC News.

In Uganda, plans to introduce draconian new laws against homosexuality look likely to go ahead despite mass protests, a major petition, and condemnation from the international community.

The bill, which proposes the death penalty for so-called 'serial offenders', has already been described as 'odious' by President Obama.

A senior minister in Kampala has suggested that the death penalty could be replaced with life imprisonment.

1. Time to invade Uganda?

Do we get anything of value out of that country? That's the criteria.

[Vinca]

2. It's death penalty for gays, not investment bankers.

Previous actions of our government indicate some people are expendable. Think Rwanda. Hard to imagine a law like this would actually be enacted.

3. Their main exports are :

I) Coffee
II) Tea
III) Cotton
IV) Tobacco

And I'm guessing you get them from elsewhere so yes - fuck 'em.

7. If that doesn't cure them, nothing will

:crazy:

[n2doc]

9. The way to stop this

Confiscate all of their swiss bank accounts. Take ALL of the money that Uganda's "leaders" have stolen from their country. And arrest any that leave the place.

Of course, that would require help from an international community who are far too conflicted over this to be of much help. The barbarians still run things.

[greiner3]

10. There's a LOT of fundy missionaries in that country;

I'd hate to think these was some pull within that crowd to get this bill passed.

Also, the Ugandan nuts, the army of the lord, the ones who are still stirring up crap in Congo and elsewhere, are half xtian and half tribal religious are the products of fundy missionaries.

Way to go fundies!

[ozymandius]

14. Time to call in the help of Ambassador George Rekkers.

:hide:

[iandhr]

12. time to pull...

our foreign ops money out

[mitchtv]

15. if the pattern holds

the state dept will be rescuing fundies who get caught.
