this was not thread about what You think about gays, holocaust, racism. Just wanted to show some stupid politics and what they are doing in my country
You can't start a thread like this and not expect stuff like this to come up in the ensuing discussion. Homosexuals have been heavily persecuted in Europe since Christianity became the dominant religion. There is now an entrenched mindset that is hard to overcome, and an understanding of history is always the best argument in these types of discussions.
For example, it is pretty much common knowledge that the founding fathers of the US Constitution draw much of their inspiration from the Roman Republic. Therefore, I find it cruelly ironic that the US has become so well known for their religious intolerance of something that was considered common practice in Rome. A teenage boy wishing to make a name for himself was often taken under wing as a student and lover of a Senator.
You can make your own Mark Foley irony joke now.
