Thread Name: BS: Death penalty for homosexuality?
Subject: RE: BS: Death penalty for homosexuality?
Glad somebody thinks it is unrealistic. Judging by some of the posts, it would appear otherwise.
ToeRag starts to make a good point about Commonwealth countries having anti Gay laws that started with Colonial penal codes. However, I wouldn't go as far as to blame Great Britain for their retention.
We taught the rest of the world how to divide and conquer, the benefits of winning arguments by tying people to the mouths of cannons and how to increase productivity with bullwhips. It was a popular form of government, not just us...
Mind you, if we were a less interfering nation and more benevolent, the Irish song tradition would have a gaping hole in it's heritage.....
