Me too. xxx

[dabees]

Not signed......


Having looked into the matter a few weeks ago, it seems to be just government sponsored propaganda. Just preparing the populace for another illegal war, this time against Iran.

The masses will go along with it, just because the Iranians kill gay people.

Don't believe everything you read people.

[Louisa 69]

Thankyou Linda & Max it makes my blood boil that this happens in this day and age.

Thankyou soooo much both of you. xxxx

[Louisa 69]

ok Dabees i respect your decison in this matter.

[lindapinda]

I'm not stupid dabees,and honestly not looking for any sort of online disagreement here,.but,I'm not advocating war against Iran,merely a genuine human rights issue. It is not acceptable in any society that someone is executed for being gay.

[~max~]

I don't believe everything I read, dabs, on the opposite I tend to be very skeptical of the written word (I suppose that's what a degree in politics does to you!). But in the end, you can think everything is government-led, and do nothing, ever. I refuse to become this "blasee", and I will stand for things I believe are right, no matter where they are coming from. If I'm being led, so be it. At least I've spoken my mind.

[dabees]

Thanks Louisa, if only more users appreciated that having a differing opinion doesn't make them bad.

[dabees]

Where did i say it was acceptable to kill anyone Linda? I abhor violence, i just have read about this issue and in my opinion my views are correct.

You are entitled to yours, but don't try and make out i'm advocating killing anyone.

[~max~]

Can you even say "on the opposite"?????? Sounded weird as soon as I'd posted....Bad English is it? Someone help the poor foreigner please?

[Louisa 69]

I didn't post this to cause any arguments, sorry if it's turning out that way.

I just feel that no-one should be persecuted or put to death simply for being gay. I really feel for the young lad he must be so frightened.

I respect that everyone has a different opinion, and i respect Dabees for his or hers just like i respect Max & Linda for being supportive in the cause.

No offence to anyone. xxx

[~max~]

She isn't saying such a thing Dabs! She is merely stating her opinion, never mentionned you were wrong!

It's a petition, at the end of the day (boy, do I hate this expression!), everyone is free to sign up or not, and to NOT sign up for any other reason (ie: you think it's a hidden message condoning the arrogant show of superiority of one particular country), is as valid as anything else.

[lindapinda]

You didnt say that dabees and i was only signing a petition you advised against signing??? Sorry about this Louisa :-(.....didn't mean to start an AB arguement..not my style at all.

[Ice.Maiden]

Louisa hun - I know you meant this in the best way. It's absolutely terrible to think that people are still persecuted in this way, but it's not just gay people. I think that people in other countries should be left to get on with their practices - however abhorrent to us. To them, with their barbaric and ancient laws, it seems awful to us - but over there, things like this ARE frowned upon. I have every sympathy with that poor guy. More's the pity he had to be born in such a place.

[dabees]

To clarify my point.

I don't advocate killing anyone gay, straight, black, white, tall, short, etc....

I would sign the petition, if i thought it was a true case. I have done some research on this one and don't believe it is.

I only have an idea for the motives behind this, but that doesn't mean i wish people death.

P.S. I apologise if you feel i've ruined your thread Louisa.

[~max~]

Exactly what I was getting at Linda and Dabs. Now can we all be friends please ?

*gets unto dumb blonde mode again and flutters eyelashes*

[lindapinda]

See you wee girl lol

[dabees]

I never advised against signing Linda, i just asked people to research what they are signing.

Propaganda is a tool for the elite, they use us all the time.

[Munkeeluvva]

I have to confess that, athough it seems humanely wrong, I do not fully understand theocratic law.

In light of my lack of facts and knowledge on this matter, I can't sign it.

[Louisa 69]

not at all Dabees i repect that everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Linda & Max don't worry you've not caused any offence to me. That's what a good debate is about, a difference of opinion.
