Might I suggest a surgically precise drone war in Uganda

like what we supposedly have in the Middle East? That's cool, right?

http://americablog.com/2012/11/uganda-death-penalty-gays.html

1. Have gay sex once: life in prison (which is already the law).
2. Have gay sex twice: death.
3. Have gay sex once with a person with a disability: death. The law assumes that people with disabilities are all helpless victims. The law also ensures that a gay person with a disability is the last person on the planet you’re ever going to have sex with, thus punishing people with disabilities even more than average gay Ugandans.
4. Rent an apartment to a gay person, and they have sex with someone in that apartment, ever: life in prison for the landlord.
5. Rent a second apartment to a gay person, and they have sex with someone in that apartment, ever: death for the landlord.
6. Have sex, even consensual, and you have HIV, even if you disclose your status to your partner, or even if you didn’t even know you had HIV: death.

3. Not sure what you mean by "good enough".

But the legality of it is questionable and killing people you disagree with makes you no better then them.

And hurling 500 pounds of high explosives isn't exactly pinpoint.

the current drone war, then I'll take you seriously. Until then, I say let's obliterate all the bad guys. Including the "christians" in Uganda who are pushing this bill.

You are OK with mass murder.

Come back when you have a serious argument.

It would disappoint me. It would rattle my life , if I had to move to a new country, a new continent, where I didnt know the culture and the language, where I would never see my family and friends again,...just so that I could love the one I love.

Thats not fair.

13. I would agree it is unfair but I think living is a better choice.

Even if the US went on killing spree it would not change things overnight either.

Better to live to fight another day and have the ability to change the situation.

All without killing.

Clearly the drone attacks are needed to combat these Conservative Weirdos. This kind of evil should not go unchecked.

just like the deeply radical people here in the US who want to see Old Testament biblical law instituted. These are not conservatives. We need to call them what they are. Radicals.
