What does that have to do with cruel and unusual punishment and punishment not fitting the crime? Way to go yet again entirely avoiding the topic altogether. You just had to get some word in regardles, didn't you, Princess? This is relevant to what? Some systems are more evolved than others. Yet 'some' systems still do stone, hang, and amputate hands. Are you going to acknowledge that, or are you going to play stupid like you always do when someone calls you out on something? W...T...F does this statement have to do with cruel and unusual punishment?
Excellent post, otheadp. It's a shame not a single person has responded to this part of your OP, though, as I feel that is the more important issue here.
Assuming your false statement is correct, why do you think they can't? Why do you think there are gay parades being held in Jerusalem and Arab gays have to congregate in Israeli towns where they may do so in safety? Maybe it's because that the same people who blow up hair salons and internet cafes will butcher them (in the full meaning of the word) if they came out of the closet on the streets of Gaza or Ramallah...
Someone with more knowledge of the region and it's problems than you. Your fundamentalism and general ignorance shame the flag you stand on for attention.
Well Genji, why don't you take a trip over to the middle east and try to pick up a few Islamic Boy Friends, I'm sure they would enjoy your company.
Wow... I was wondering how long it would take you to bring Israel into this. Generally you dump the non sequiturs into the arguement in under two posts... this one took you a lot longer. Remember the topic of the thread: "3 publicly hanged in Iran"? Try actually sticking to/debating that point without blaming everything, including the bad weather, on Israel or the USA. ~String

Using my sexuality to bait/attack me in subjects with no relation to homosexuality pisses me off. :shrug: Go figure. Using these two murdered kids as a soapbox is despicable.
They probably get turned on by your descriptions of same sex shenanigans. According to a study I read about : They might be provocative on purpose.:shrug:
This is all related, which is something you've apparently chosen to ignore. The collective mind that chooses to hang teenagers for being gay (please note I'm talking about that collective mind's actions, not just its ideology) believes this is the highest form of justice. That same perverse sense of justice drives the rest of their decisions -- be it war with the US or attaining nuclear weapons. I'd also like to point out that if you look closely at the type of noose on these boys' necks you'll know that their hanging was conducted in the same way I described in the other thread about the 3 people hanged in Iran -- slowly and brutally, to inflict maximum justice.
This is about a theocracy and religious fundamentalist terrorism inflicted on it's own population, not anything 'collective.' Iran's opposition to Israel and the US is something I support. Also Iran's support of Hezbollah, a group I sympathize with as well. Iran's social backwardness is an issue that must be resolved, of course. But bigger and more important battles are at hand. You and draqon seem to agree with Iran's treatment of gays, the celebratory tone you both wave about regarding the sickening photo. I do realize I'm hated in the US by Christian fundies as much as I would be in Iran. The difference is I do choose when to keep myself inside the closet so I can focus on larger issues.
