Many predominantly muslim countries have the death penalty for homosexuality. Its one thing when its a fringe pastor with a small following, but as stated, Islam systemically advocates death for homosexuals. And this isn't just a church saying it, its the law of the country based on non-radical Islam. SPD posted Israel's reaction to this tragedy, what do the Muslim countries say? https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...where-homosexuality-may-be-punished-by-death/
Thanks for this, crandc. You're much more articulate than me so I appreciate this. I just found out the shooter grew up near us in Manhattan. One of our close friends in her 70s told us tonight that she knew him as a young boy. It's crazy. People have to remember this guy was an American, not some guy who snuck into our country.
How come there is a thread for this but not for Christina Grimmie? She was only 22 years old and was killed while signing autographs for her fans. Also in Orlando, Florida.
I think I saw on twitter that he was possibly gay as well. I believe the narrative has changed from this morning.
There is something stopping me actually, it happened almost three days ago and people don't care to respond to old news. I just think it is a bit of a double standard really.
Yes really. People will talk only talk about something until something else comes along, then they will stop caring and gossip about the newest hot topic. Why don't you agree?
I'm not agreeing with you equating the single shooting of one person with a mass shooting of over 100.
So, if 99 more people had been killed along with Grimmie, a thread being made would have been justified then? Is that the kind of logic you are throwing at me right now? One life is as important as a hundred lives because each of those hundred lives count as one each
Please read the Koran. It's tough but it needs to be done. Maybe follow that up with reading about Stephen Decatur.
A, your math is wrong. B, I could start threads about 100 things. I almost started a thread about a toddler in Nevada miraculously surviving being internally decapitated.
Make a thread! If it's important to you make a thread. But to go into a thread and complain that another thread wasn't made seems odd to me. Look at BigGameDamien, he makes lots of threads of things that are important to him. I've never watched the spinning singing chair show so I didn't have a clue who that person was. You did. You could have... I don't know, posted some youtube videos of her singing, told something about why her death effected you. Instead you want to complain in an unrelated thread that no one made a thread about her. How about this.. #AllDeathsMatter
A.) Each of those people killed have only one body, so how is my math wrong? B.) If you did start threads about 100 things. Each and every one of those threads would have responses in them.
Exit out of this thread into the OT forum. Sort the threads by number of replies. You will see pages of threads that never received any replies to them.
