Teach the sodomite cheerleaders a lesson in STFU. [/quote] You have a real opportunity. Why not live in the society you want. Just move to Russia. But you dont have to choose Russia there are many alternatives. Iran, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Syria etc. These are countries that share your values. You can just go there and preach your Christian values. Ohh wait, dont do that you will be punished for that. And your wife will have to cover her self up or she could get whipped and if she drives a car in Saudi Arabia she will get whipped. And if you have a daughter she will not get a good education. Remember not to critizise the religious rule or you will get prison and get whipped. But other then that its just what you want. [/quote] There is a correlation between making homosexuallity illegal and the country being shit. [/quote] It's not homosexuality specifically... It's more about the moral decay of society and the disruption of family values. We've seen it repeatedly throughout history. Rome... Greece... same old shit. And it never works. [/quote] If you ask serious historians they will say that the fall of Rome was because of endless war that did not yield anything. Sound familiar? Moral dacay? The US today has a president that orders the assassination of people. He orders the capture and indefinite detention of people without a trial without telling them what they are charged with. The US has a drone program that kills hundreds, alot of them inocent civilians. THAT is moral decay. [/quote] THAT is moral decay, and so is the destruction of the family unit. As is the promotion of divorce and single parent families. And the elevating of the orgasm to the end-all-be-all of living. Then there is the furtherance of promiscuity, multiple partners, STDs, abortion, unwanted children and homosexuality. How about those teaching children as young as kindergarteners about sodomy, homosexuality and masturbation. Yeah... that moral decay. [/quote] You equate teaching children about masturbation with targeted assassinations by the President. I do not. [b]The traditional family unit is not a requisite for happy and productive children/adults.[/b] [/quote] I don't believe I could disagree with you any more. [/quote]

Pop stars Lady Gaga and Madonna are facing punishment in Russia after authorities determined they violated their visas when they held concerts there last year.
Technically, the artists were not allowed to work in Russia on their tourist visas, but experts say it appears the visa warning is a veiled attempt punish the pop stars for their vocal support of gay rights in Russia.
The investigation into their visas came at the urging of a lawmaker who has spearheaded Russia’s anti-gay campaign.
“The Russian government is sending a shot across the bow to Lady Gaga, Madonna, and other performers who are taking up gay rights in Russia,” said Paul Saunders, the executive director of the Center for the National Interest.
During concerts in St. Petersburg last year, both Lady Gaga and Madonna denounced the city’s harsh anti-gay law from the stage.
