We usually just put this stuff in the the off topic section but maybe we should make a politics section.
I really can not begin to fathom the lengths people will go to in order to segregate people. So many of us have been discriminated against and treated unfairly by environment and this is just wrong. I'm at a loss. A loss for a decent response or explanation. I could tell you haw angry and confused this makes me but it goes without saying.

I don't...I can't...even... in the year 2014?! There's no way this is actually happening... Are you kidding Greenfire? In Russia (and other parts of Europe) It might as well be 0014. They are hugely homophobic in Russia, that is why people tried to boycott the winter olympics, you must of heard about it. america.aljazeera.com/opinions/2013/12/russia-gay-rightslgbtsochiwinterolympics.htmlWhat a lot of people dont realize is that modernity hasnt reached a lot of countries around the world yet, so in a sense they are still years behind us.

Are you kidding Greenfire? With respect, I don't live any near that hemisphere. I am aware of the homophobic tendencies and the Olympic boycotts, but I was completely unaware that it was more than just a social taboo and something that can (and will apparently) be acted on in great numbers. Much like how Republicans in America are slowly driving us into the ocean, I thought that for the most part, all this hate was simply via words and policies trying to passed into law. It's a whole different ball game when it actually happens though... But I've been reading conflicting statements all day, so I'm still not 100% that this is actually happening. Some sources say it's real. Some say its a hoax. On site even said that it's a hoax, but that it's real at the same time (meaning the documents really where handed out en masse to the Jewish population, but they were forged).

Oh yeah on Facebook Mara Wilson told people to stop complaining about her not being in the Mrs Doubtfire sequel and start complaining about that.

Yeah. All the kids need to reprise the rolls they had. Pierce Brosnan as the "villan" again. I love that movie.

How quickly serious topics are derailed... I think deep down it's 'cus it's a hard thing to deal with, how terribly people can treat each other... Personally I have a hard time believing people like that are human, but it's important to remember that they ARE human, because once you dehumanise them then we forget that actual people can do this to each other

west Ukraine will swoop down and destroy the pro Russians in the east. I'm confident that will happen.

Im sorry I just thought I would roll with something different. In truth, it's not that I don;t care, but what would you have us do. This is an outrage.

I know right? I suppose that's another factor... When we feel useless we seek comfort in things we know, something familiar... I'm definitely not blaming you at all Blade Runner, I'm just kinda trying to shed some light on human interaction... It's important to notice these things and it might be important to stay out of our comfort zone on issues like this... Keep on top of what's going on, and if ever something appears that we CAN do, we do it, instead of that chance drifting past us because we put it out of our minds for the sake of our comfort
