Stupid people - not just in America

[TheEarl]

From an article about the upcoming civil partnerships law in Britain:

However, pockets of resistance to same-sex partnerships and to homosexuality remain, not least in Northern Ireland.

"It's extremely significant and we're all happy about it (the new legislation) but we're not throwing our hands up in hysterics -- we'll leave it to the right wing elements in society to do that," Rainbow Project's McKeever said.

Homosexuality was legalised in Northern Ireland only in 1982 -- 15 years after England and Wales. At the time the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), run then, as now, by Protestant cleric Ian Paisley, ran a "Save Ulster from Sodomy" campaign.

The DUP, the province's largest political party, opposed the civil partnership legislation but says it supports equality. Gay rights groups, though, are sceptical.

Earlier this month a DUP councillor said God sent Hurricane Katrina to punish New Orleans for organising a gay pride event.

We do love to export.....

Anyone else want some idiotic religious fanatics? We've got plenty more. We won't even charge for shipping.

I knew someone whould have to come out against it, and one cal ALWAYS rely on the 'very reverend Ian fucking Paisley to open his bigotted fat mouth.

This legislation is the best thing to come out of British Parliament for a long, long time. And for very obvious personal reasons, I'm delighted that its going to become law on 21 December.

That is wonderful news.

I wonder how many years behind the Unted States will lag?

Stupidity is universal.

Given that the general policy of Sinn Fein et al is to oppose vehemently, passionately, and in open practice anything that Paisley supports ...

I'm off to the Bogside. I'll bring back film footage.

I can't see it ever happening here, not nationwide. Too many of the bible belt states will be agin it.

And to be completely honest, I can't see them even recognising such partnerships as legally binding. If individual states can't agree to recognise things that are legal within each other's states, what chance of any of them recognising a legality from another piddly little country, hmmmm??

It makes me very very sad.

Exactly.

We're having a federal election here in Canada.

And the first thing the Conservative party leader announce as policy was that a Conservative government would 'revisit' the same sex marriage law.



And after the way the Conservatives fucked me over when they ran this province, there's no way on God's green earth Id ever vote for them.

Ian Paisley, ran a "Save Ulster from Sodomy" campaign.

Orleans for organising a gay pride event.

The Earl

I'm sure he thumped a lot of Bibles on that campaign. They probably had to bandage his hand.

 

[cantdog]

God took His sweet time, then. There must have been thousands of gay pride events.

omg, you are the voice of truth!

And we shall erect <snicker> an alter to Liar, as the prophet of truth throughout the world. And we shall worship him ....

There are always more stupid people than you estimated.

 

[Liar]

Now I'm scared. That's a sig-worthy ego boost if i ever saw one.

I frighten you? But I'm fluffy and cute and harmless.

Quote me. Do it. You know you want to be worshipped as a god. I'll, like, sacrifice something (okay, not my virginity) on the alter of Liar and we will both know truth.

Export?

Um... It's only been a few hundred years since most of them were imported...

"Stupid is as stupid does."

Yeah, yours was original, and mine wasn't. But with mine comes an automatic celebrity endorsement. In modern cultures, that makes mine better.

Oh yeah...

We still have MORE of them.

And our stoopids are stooopider than your stoopids!

I'd rather speak to you ... Earl? Earl? Are you there?

And are you and Liar naked?
