Thread Name: BS: Death penalty for homosexuality?
Subject: RE: BS: Death penalty for homosexuality?
The death penalty has been shown to be ineffective as a deterrent to homicide.
As for homosexuality, this is a human right that is biologically determined and to
put people to death because of it is no different than any other type of dictatorship
that executes those who disagree with the dictator for any reason.

One of the chief causes of AIDS is drug use. Legalizing drugs and helping those who
are addicted would go a long way to dealing with this epidemic.

Homosexuals can be as judicious and monogamous as heterosexuals and don't require any special policing. AIDS is now transmitted by hetero as well as homo sexuals.

It will be impossible to determine exactly how many people are afflicted with AIDS.
Those who are because they are targeted will keep their statistics under wraps.
The only way to get people to come forward is to "decriminalize" the problem.

For this, needless to say, every civilized country needs to decriminalize homosexual
or lesbian activity and respect the rights of loving couples anywhere to engage in a
monogamous or continuous relationship based on mutual respect.
