Gulf states setting up test to keep gays out

[Theb]

This whole article is one bit WTF


Being gay is a sin, but only if you're under 21. What?

It might be to discourage those firm, beautiful young men from tempting the upright, chaste, and totally heterosexual lawmakers.

Sort of like how women in the middle east have to wear hijabs or men will have no choice but to rape them.

No specifics on the test? I imagine a free screening of Mamma Mia! at customs would be effective enough.

Came into the thread expecting to hear about how Mississippi, Alabama, etc...

Hmm seems the company that sold the "bomb detectors" to Iraq can sell gaydars to these countries.

The whole gay culture thing has gotten very mainstream. I've grown up in a conservative culture and when I was growing up, there was no talk of gays. Me and kids of my age never had any idea at all. It is only in the last 10 years that it's become a common thing. So many movies, shows and everything in between is either about showing the plight of gays or promoting their cause. This is not a good thing or a bad thing. It is what's happening.

Before, people used to do things, which are considered "bad" by many in secret. Now, doing things in front of everyone is encouraged. Once again, not a bad or a good thing.

I think what these Arab countries are doing is what many people do when they see a danger to their way of life. Some choose to embrace it, like the Western societies, while others don't. That supposed way of life is very important to some people. It's like they will lose everything if their way of life, or traditions, is changed in any way. In the West, the opposite is true. The more crazy, bizarre, extreme, obnoxious you are, the more you are looked up to.

You can say the same thing for Interracial Marriages/Dating/Sex.

This does sound like something the sand people would think up now that they got rid of poverty, hunger, chemical weapons and the genocidal hate for their neighbor countries. Good for them.

Statements that a normal person would perceive as being quite racist are not permitted here. -Admin DrPizza

When I heard Gulf States I thought Mississippi, Texas, etc. And even worse is it didnt surprise me too much.

You appeared to have missed his point entirely.

And you comparison is only valid anyway if you either believe there is a difference between blacks and white or you believe there is no difference between men and women. So basically you either agree with Geosurface or you are out of touch with reality

hardcore lurker only pops up to say something racist.

Persian gulf nations are going to be testing people to see if they are gay. If they are found to be gay they will be denied entry into the nation.

While I disagree with discrimination against certain groups, I uphold a nations right to pass they laws they want.

Good for Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, they should be able to pass laws that represent the will of the majority.

That is a very dangerous and ignorant position to take. Many of the darkest moments in human history have come because of the will of the majority, and there is a reason why the rights of minorities are explicitly protected.

Can't believe the article didn't elaborate about the "medical testing" being developed to identify who is gay and who isn't.

This has some real lulz potential.

Racist...ha, some of my best friends are sand people!

The United Arab Emirates build this:

Islamic culture once again shows how great it is..............

No, I didn't. I was just saying that anything could have been substituted for what was Taboo when someone was growing up.

And you comparison is only valid anyway if you either believe there is a difference between blacks and white or you believe there is no difference between men and women. So basically you either agree with Geosurface or you are out of touch with reality

Yea.......whatever.

 

[OutHouse]

probably just as valid as the witchcraft test SA uses.

I hate to be controversial, but the truth is that homosexuality is a form of behavior. Any "science" suggesting otherwise is fake. Animals behave this way, it can be observed with dogs and apes. Just saying.

 

[pcgeek11]

Nobody really cares! Or at least I don't. Fuck that whole area of the world.

we ARE animals. We are in the same family as apes (Hominidae). So basically, you just said we behave like our cousins....no shit.

Which is worse for society:

A childless, taxpaying, high earning gay who cannot put down the cock?

A welfare queen with 5 children, no earnings, no education who cannot put down the cock?

I think we're focusing on the wrong group here....
