I would think we should urge the Govt. to put sanctions on Iran as this continues to happen

it's absolutely outrageous. i cannot even imagine being that oppressed and powerless.

This is why "there are no gays in Iran" ... something has to be done about this country and fast.

but what?

perhaps we can send in george bush?

Perhaps we could send in his mum, Barbara Bush... That would turn me off women 4 ever...

And we think Australia is repressive? Remember we only repealed the witchcraft laws about ten years ago....

Cheers

Isnt it interesting not a murmer from groups like the greens etc.
It seems they pick and choose acording to popularity(even homo hating hicks was favoured ) .
I just hope if Iran gets invaded we dont have the usual gay anti govt mob voicing their opinions on behalf of the whole gay community.

Well Chad_74, if Iran gets invaded, it will turn out like Iraq and have NOTHING to do with human rights. Do you even have a clue about the extra-judicial murders of gays there?

Oh enlightened cobra thanks for your wisdom, Glad you know these things cause no-one else does.Wake up the worlds probleums arnt as simple as you make out.

Chad, until you vote with your feet and join the military, your comments lie in the mud with those obscene old men who send young men to fight their obcessions for them and die.

What on earth did your comments about the greens actually have to do with anything relevent?

We can't actually invade Iran ... it would be as pointless as Iraq. They don't want us there ... the way to try and go about things is put sanctions on these countries and give refugee status to those who want to flee.

If you invade Iran, the entire world will fall into nuclear Armageddon.

Everything seems to get followed up with some gung ho response like "Bomb the crap outta them". Is the answer to the worlds problems? If Iran was invaded, it would just be another Afghanistan/Iraq/Vietnam. The First Gulf war was awful, despite the claims of the allied Victory. Unless you have been shot at, whilst lying in a tiny scraped out dent in the ground, your friends around you injured and dead, and an enemy trying so hard to kill you with all the fanaticism in the world, you can't know what a bad place war is.

Remember this guy is not just gay, he is a convicted rapist. I'm not defending the country that made the laws, just trying to state the bleeding obvious. Rape is rape. I can tell you that if I was raped, I would want to hang the bastard myself. Wouldn't you? To hang a guy because he is gay? Then I would be up with political santions. To hang a rapist? I would be handing over a good rope. there is far more to this than we are ever going to hear from a sensationalised news report.

I'm over this thread.

Who won the Vietnam war? America? Wars solve very little and create many more problems. Iraq is likely to see the accellerated decline of USA in world politics - and that is not necessarily a good thing. Now if some one other than Dumbo was president, then they might be able to retrieve some good will and leadership. If we bomb the crap out of them, then that also gives them the moral right to do the same to us. Destruction begats destruction!

"Destruction begats destruction"

All i can say we hear all the time about nazi germany.
Bad things happened to people and people did nothing.
Do we really want this type of situation to arise again?
People are persecuted for no real reason around the world and when "america" attempts to step in and do the greater good,they get slammed as war mongers.
During world war two the usa reluctantly entered the war the delay resulted in tens of thousands of casualties, if they had intervened sooner many lives would have been saved The jews/gays etc of the concentration camps would have been saved.

My comments about the greens was theyre vocally anti war when its popular and politically motivated.
As for George Bush being "dumbo" -To have a comment of disagreement fair enough but calling him a childish names begs the question who is sillier?

All I'm worried about is Iran's growing aggressiveness towards Israel, if their nuclear program gets underway completely they say they "will wipe them off the map"

Read a book called Äuschwitz and The Allies"by Martin Gilbert. It addresses the delay and how many millions, not thousands of people who could have been saved. I do not advocate war, but I do not advocate for peace either at any cost. this topic is about one guy who raped another guy. Lets try to stay in perspective. If I asked you to go to bali with a bumfull of dope, would you do it? No. And in reality, we have no say about other countries and their laws. Just like the rest of the world cannot understand why we lock people up in Villawood for months and years... Are we wrong? are they? who knows? If people dont like the repressiveness where they live, they get out. its all about choices. And here is a 13 year old boy who had his choice taken away by another 13 year old boy. How bad is that?

anyway, no more... it makes me sad...
