Try to tell Muslims this. People are crazy if they think the UN can do anything.

I don't.

Absolutely, I do. No other President has ever been such an advocate for gay rights. Do you think McCain/Palin would have been better?
I shake my head at the people who think it's okay to condone killing people because they're homosexual. |

I shake my head at presidents who engage in meaningless efforts that can never be enforced just to pander to a certain demographic. I see you've bought it hook, line, and sinker.  |

America has no business involving itself in the affairs of other sovereign nations, nor do they ours.

The Bush administration spoke out for woman's rights around the world. Were they also just pandering to a certain demographic? I think not. Some of us have principles we believe in strongly. |

I didn't read anyone comment in this thread condoning the killing of people because they're homosexual.
Who are you speaking about?

there should be a standard on the basic human rights.
a standard to uphold when it comes to atrocities inflicted on man kind. killing/executing people based on sexual preference is an atrocity.
we need a standard even if some won't abide.

Who has the moral authority to create this standard and how will it be enforced? |
