Uganda scientists

I cant link Im on the phone but its on rte and various other news crowds.
The president of Uganda hired a team of scientists to study homosexuality. They found no genetic cause for it and decided it was learned.
Now he thinks they should be jailed for life because they choose to be gay.
I think its as relevant as choosing to go the shop or have weetabix for breakfast but in this country it seems important to them with their christianity and low intelligence.
Has their been any publication of the scientific evidence? I find the whole nature nurture thing facinating.

So Uganda do you think the whole country should be torched or are you in the boat that approves of their science and admire their principles for sticking to their god teachings brought to them by evangelical americans?

Aparantly if they found the gay people to be born gay they would have just put them in the mad house.

This is a well written post.

I think Uganda should change the 4th letter of it's name to 'Y'.

Ugandan science is world renowned, with their one beaker.

Ask Dr. Pastor Martin Ssempa what he thinks.

Oh so non religious people cant be homophobic? I think you'll find many many Christians and other religious people don't give two fooks about peoples sexual orientation.

Sorry, what has weetabix got to do with Christianity and low intelligence?

I genuinely don't know what your post is trying to say OP. Maybe I'm reading it arseways but I don't understand what your point is or what the discussion is supposed to be about.

I'm willing to wager that people who follow the Abrahamic Triangle of Insanity are far more likely to be homophobic.

Pfft, they're way behind Nigeria, who've disproved gay people with MAGNETS! Yeah, magnets bitch!

How dare those dim-witted, narrow-minded Ugandans hold unfounded negative stereotypical views.

Declaring a whole country to be of low intelligence because a few nutjobs are engaging in hatred is over-egging the pudding, methinks.

Its just my ponderings on this ugandan situation.Im being told its wrong, I feel its wrong but Im willing to hear the science behind their plan.
Not that this isnt totally wrong and I think the UN or somebody should have a word but does anybody remember the time they had a space program and the astronauts were in a bucket being spun around on a rope.
I was atleast hoping somebody would dig up that clip.

Neither. Are those the only two options?

But its the majority view there. The president is caught up in a corruption scandal so he gave the people this law to deflect. They are eating it up aparantly. Completely forgiven.

I'd be willing to hear the science behind your claim that Ugandans are lacking intelligence.

See above post. Plus you need to pass an exam to finish primary school. I havnt got exact figures but a high percentage dont.

Chancer3001

You don't have exact figures on how many Ugandans pass their primary school exams?

You are a very very strange poster.

I don't get why it has to be one or the other? Can't we torch the whole country AND admire their science and principles?

I think you're confusing knowledge with intelligence.

Nope I would imagine a lack of intelligence stops them passing the exam.

The idea that the leadership of Uganda, a country with a population of over 35'000'000 people, is using this law to somehow "deflect" from corruption is shallow and hides the fact that there are many social concerns at the root of the expansion of the anti-sodomy laws which were originally British.

That said, they are obviously as mad as a bag of frogs.

Both of which you lack. But, alas, a blind man will not thank you for a looking glass.

I can think of atleast one other use for a looking glass.

I would imagine that poorly trained teachers, the constant threat of disease and hunger and the many intermittent armed conflicts and civil wars in Uganda stops them passing the exam.

So would you call a nation suffering all these things and spending their time worrying about who is gay a wise nation of people?

Im not sure to be honest. Maybe the two options are extreme. Maybe they should all be sat down and made watch some films about nice gay people.
I seen dallas buyers club recently and I think thatd help them be more understanding.
I was hoping the people of after hours could tell me my choices werent good enough and offer better ones in honesty.
I see a problem Im trying to find a solution.
Would a good old fashioned gay march "we re here we re queer get used to it " style day out work?

Well since your choices of how we should react were between mindless acceptance of extremist views or genocide, I imagine that wouldn't be too difficult... :P

There is a difference between wisdom and intelligence. You're changing your point with every post now.

Nope if you read the thread I was pulled up for confusing the two.
I think ive shown these people arnt wise intelligent or smart.
But the way things are going Im awaiting a response saying ah but your confusing intelligence with unstupidness.
On we go round and round.

"unstupidness" ??


I think we should all just ignore you now.

Well if your only contribution is to pedantically discuss the differance between wisdom and intelligence I would appreciate if you did.
I think its against the charter to ask people to collectively ignore though so Id reign that stuff in there champ.
