But, these folks still have harems (of the opposite sex, of course), so there is that. Very Trumpian in a way....they buy their harems.
LOL, billionaires need buy nothing.

Do you really think an old fat orange slob scores Karen McDougal if his income is 50K a year? Simple fact is that a giant paycheck will get you a line of model good looking women all very willing and able.

Just shows how vast the civilizational distance can be between two nations and cultures. In the US Pete Buttigieg could become President and the "leader of the free world" someday. In Brunei he'd be brutally killed.

The point is, “being gay” if you mean by partaking in same sex activities, yes it will get you stoned in Brunei per the article.


Many do not define ‘Being gay” as a sex act but instead, a feeling.

They are also stoning adulterers, as we agree and read.

By definition, this is someone who has participated in a sex act with another who is not their spouse


I am not on-board with labeling someone as “Gay” due to a feeling. Or "being gay"
I am not on-board with labeling someone as “A pedophile or Child molester” due to a feeling.
I am not on-board with labeling someone as “An adulterer” due to a feeling.


A feeling is not who we are or we are in grave danger as a society
Our actions define our personhood, it's who we are.

Clearly this is not alright. It goes against our moral compass as a society, it goes against the Bible, it goes against most other religions to I assume.

Exactly. As a man there are a number of married women I am attracted to, but I maintain a certain level of discipline. The attraction is not a crime, the deed is.

In all fairness I dont think many in my family have heard of either much less could find them on a map.

I would be surprised if maybe even 5 % of Americans can distinguish between Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei on a map.

Bill Maher and guest also called BS on George Clooney’s call for this one single boycott.

If George wants to boycott for this issue then he and others should be completely boycotting most of the Islamic nations. Instead some celebrities perform at private parties for a small fortune from these countries that put gay people in prison or execute them.

I am just as surprised at how many identify as African-American, given that they were not born there, have never been there, are unlikely to find it on a map, and probably cannot even spell it properly.

Yep, this will be deleted...

Being Christian is a "bad choice"? They are implementing full on Sharia Law!
