In what is truly a breath of fresh air in the realm of global human rights, the Associated Press is reporting that the Obama administration intends to sign on to a United Nations Declaration calling for the decriminalization of homosexuality around the world. The non-binding declaration, echoing the first article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which states that "all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights," affirms that "human rights apply equally to every human being regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity." It denounces violence, harassment, and exclusion, and calls upon the nations of the world "and relevant international human rights mechanisms to commit to promote and protect human rights of all persons, regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity." Originally introduced by France in December of 2008, the Bush administration refused to add the U.S. to the declaration, despite all 27 European Union states plus 39 others joining in support. http://www.examiner.com/x-5246-DC-L...laration-Opponents-parrot-Santorum-and-Warren A wonderful step for an adult America!
Because he disagrees with you politically? Nice. You've done a fine job differentiating yourself from the people you claim to decry. Duh!
though i agree with no discrimination against anyone i think this is exactly why there will never be a one world government at least not one that can dictate diff aspects of human rights or social policies. they policies are opposed by at least half the world or more
Sure, decriminalize it on earth. Sodomites will answer to the ultimate judge in the end either way. Spoiler We're all sinners. And I'm just kidding.
= Hey Iran! Stop killing homosexuals or we will be angry with you. They we will send you a letter telling you how angry we are!

Many of them were molested or abused as a child and as a result are sexual deviants and / or have really low self esteem. I feel sad for people who are gay, nobody in society accepts you except for people who want to use your illness for political gain.
Yeah, I've been trying to think of a response myself. I didn't think there were still people who thought like that in 2009. my bad
i admit that I f-ked up this morning and accidentally responded to an OddsOn post- there's one way to make him stop.
why is it that virtually all of the right-leaning posters on this board are basically ridiculous caricatures of the same mold? refman is really the only counterexample that comes to mind.

It really is quite fun to watch. They are both guilty of the same crap they decry. All cut from the same damn cloth.... Not many REAL debaters on here.
