Duh. The conventional wisdom on Languish is that you cannot criticize the US for something, as long as there is a single country or place on the face of Earth where the situation is worse.  :rolleyes:
Duh! The conventional wisdom the our gay Polish self-proclaimed lawyer bit of Languish is that the US must have done nothing to oppose any injustice that that gang opposes unless it is done so in channels that even morons cannot ignore.  :rolleyes:

The US has come out in ardent opposition to the bill, and its actions if the bill passed will certainly amount to more than making a motion to remove Uganda from a symbolic international organization.

The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

I think you'll find the Commonwealth is far from a symbolic international organization.

Agreed.  United States will never let a senseless massacre happen in Africa without strongly condemning it.

On second thought gumbler is probably just trolling wrt the Commonwealth.

I think it is becoming more symbolic with every passing day.

See?  I've been telling you people the blacks violently hate the gays for some reason unknown to me. :contract:

Mix missionaries with Kalashnikov-carrying cattle rustlers, and it amazes me anyone could be surprised by the result.
Experience bij!

Just read that someone proposed Canada be booted from the Commonwealth because of their failure to live up to Kyoto treaty obligations.

Well, nobody important.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Well kudos to the US too, then.

Funnily enough, some Catholic and Episcopalian bishops in Africa are among the most vocal opponents of decriminalization of homosexuality. Fucking Christians. I hate them so much.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
