Obama signs gays into hate-crime bill

[Visage]

yeah but now we realize that abusing human rights doesn't win popularity points. This is why we realize the necessity of righting the wrongs and atrocities that have been committed.

If abusing human rights won popularity points I'd sooooo do it.

Yes because hate crimes only include beating the crap out of someone.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_crime

Whatever is defined as a hate crime is already a crime regardless, but the penalties are greater because of the motive of the attack. You're wrong, simple as that.

Obviously not.  The so-called "hate crimes" also addressed in the bill include hateful speech, hateful public showing (as in, protesting), as well as many other non-beating-the-crap-out-of-someone crimes.

"(Washington) Physical attacks on people based on their loveual orientation will join the list of federal hate crimes in a major expansion of the civil rights-era law Congress approved Thursday and sent to President Barack Obama."

Preventing someone from speaking out against anything, including homoloveuality, is violating the First Amendment, period.

No one is. If that was a crime, I would be on your side.

As to your second paragraph, I'd suggest you stop putting words in my mouth.  Reading your own assumptions into what I say does nothing for you.  I say "it's not caused by genetics" and you automatically think I'm saying "it's a choice"?  You'd think you would've learned how to read in whatever liberal indoctrination center, I mean college, you went to.

You hate people for something that's not their choice, is what you're saying? You're more of a bigoted starfish than I thought.

And exactly what did I do that caused me to become a bigot, now?  As I've found in discussions about Proposition 8, it turns out the actual hate is being directed (in huge amounts) towards those who are anti-gay.  It's funny how people show their true colors when they get all mad like that.

You're a bigot. You can't deny it.

You seem to get mad quite often.

lol

Oh well, I try to make a joke, and of course you come in here, frothing at the mouth to take another stab at my religion.  Stop trying to force your view of things down my throat, please.

You said it wasn't entirely a joke.

And just a little something more from the article at that friend website:

"The bill also creates a federal crime to penalize attacks against U.S. service members on account of their service."

How very liberal of them.

Wait, so I cant say anything negative like "That was gay..." Or "You gaytard"?

No you can't. If you do, you get sent to the FEMA death camps, along with swine flu victims and your Grandma under Obama's health-care plan.

Haven't read thread.

What does being in a hate-crime bill do?

[The Russian]

Their genetics aren't their fault.

/facepalm
They've never proven that nor will they ever.

I'm tired of people saying this. There is no loving proof.

My mom is gay. Really.

[Allath]

I don't get why people hate gays so much. Why do they have to mess withthem, can't they just leave them alone?

[Doorman]

this thred am soooo gaaaay

No, I'm just kidding. I'm very glad he did that, it gives more of a feeling of security at my school. I be all like:
"stuff, dawg, you hate me 'cause I gay? Don't hurt me or you be goes to prison, ololol"
And then they be like:
"You lieing cigarettegort, what you're doing be wrong!"
And then I be like:
"Haha, stoopid, Obama signed gay attacks onto the list of hate crimes!"
And then they back off like the hoes they be.

(Leave Britainy alone guy): "LEAVE THE GAYS ALONE!"

I for one have nothing against them, in fact, my moms best friend is gay. He's actually pretty cool too. I need to get used to not say the G word around him though =P

"LEAVE THE GAYS ALONE!"

We would have gotten the joke had you just said this, actually. :P

"Gay" is a bad word now?
I guess I am not allowed to say "white" or "black" or "christian" or "human" or any other word to describe someone?

Is he offended when you call him that or do you just think it feels wierd? I love it when my friends call me gay, it shows how close we are and how much it really doesn't matter.

Please prove that it will never be proved.
