Exclusive Sneak Peek: Missionaries of Hate

And we should do the same thing to Arizona.

"Not because of the new immigration law in Arizona, just because Arizona sucks." *zing*

When Democracy is subverted, as it has in Uganda, looking the other way is tantamount to participating in the abhorrent behavior.

We should offer refugee status to those seeking to leave the country. But leave the country's tyrants to destroy themselves from within. History can attest, all tyrants eventually destroy themselves. The country will learn from it's mistakes better if we let it right it's own wrongs. The revolution must come from within or we all become occupiers.

Every country the United States ever tried to fix by deposing the unjust leaders of has ended in disaster. The world community must say it's part, renounce them, and marginalize them economically.

Force should only be used when they pose a threat to ourselves. And even then that force should be sought with a pen, not a gun. Until the gun is the only possible final option.

I agree with you on this Sapience. Humans are capable of intense cruelty.

Perhaps and it could also arise from a reaction to Western and European influences, too.

In Africa, it seems the wild animals are kinder than many of the humans.

I fully respect your interest and speculation on this subject, but first of all (in this particular thread) youre generalizing an entire continent based on one video of a few people in one region of one country (Libya). If we really are to gain a true understanding and appreciation for a place and its people and policies, it must extend beyond catch-all phrases like "deep rooted beliefs" and "European influences." I believe you will all find that the content - and hopefully the under-currents of hope and faith in positive change - lie in the details. In the end, it is the people who must speak for themselves, as their actions are layered with a long history we Americans cannot even fathom. There is no excuse for an abuse of human rights, but that being said, it does not negate the avenues we must take to understanding the thought processes behind the actions.

Check my profile and youll see that I can be counted among the fortunate. And youre right, but humanitarian work, when paired and sometimes even predicated on the allegiance of hateful messages, actions, and policies is inexcusable. Those in need in any developing country dont deserve to have their minds essentially re-colonized simply because they are without their basic needs met.

All the charity work in the world does not supporting and influencing a death penalty for gays, unless you are a monster of a human being.

The asshat screaming about sodomy is a violent christianist. He doesn't do humanitarian work. His profession is inciting violence, and murder, against the gays in the name of god. Do you expect him to plant a vegetable garden? Is that the balanced view you're seeking?

agreed

they are promoting KILLING PEOPLE

there is no plus side to that

you obviously have no appreciation for the programming on current.

and what have your conservative, right-wing crusades done for issues like this??
oh wait i remember, NOTHING. just thoughts like: "homosexuality is wrong, sinful, they're going to die, they're going to hell, they're freaks, NO MARRIAGE!"

hate and useless words.

While conservative republicans are advocating for LESS government, LESS intervention, and assuming LESS accountability and transparency, others are making an EFFORT to provoke change. And by the way, no one ever got anywhere speaking in absolutes about issues they arent bold enough to analyze critically and fairly.

If all you can do is criticize instead offering a solution, then how is what your doing any better than what you described? You shouldn't complain about hypocrisy if you're a chief practitioner.

Feed trolls negative points and flags, not comments.

excuse me! conservative republican: advocating for less government, less intervention, and MORE accountability and transparency, while making an effort to provoke change.

Good advice....never feed the trolls.

i've been called a "troll" at one point. i'm sure most active users on this have been at one time

Thanks to you and Ares for pointing the title out. Great to see that this is already generating a dialogue, though.

It's a good point but the title seems fair to me since 40 of Africa's 50 or so countries already have laws making it ILLEGAL just to be gay.

Yes, but while there are still exceptions, those exceptions should be celebrated and honored just as much as the rest should be abhorred - or, if we're lucky, understood on a culturally relative level. In the end, however, human rights are human rights, in my opinion and hate like this cannot be tolerated.

the entire continent of africa is a shithole....please prove me wrong..

Evangelicals are the equivalent of Extremists Muslims.

No no no ! Science is not designed to do anything. It means a process of obtaining knowledge. pure science reports on finding based on observation repeated testing inference and critical thinking among other processes. IT is what it is, while facts of science are not 100% percent, but very close, Nature cannot be defined in absolutes either. There is always variation. Science is the one thing that unifies us all.

Well said. Except for the science part. I happen to agree with Blkwdw on that one.
