Totally shaven guys with perfectly sculpted abs are a bit of a turn off.

I'm a smoker and I think it's gross to kiss after smoking.

Like the bible, the quran tells the story of Sodom and Gomorrah and the evilness of the men's homosexuality.  The quran calls it an abomination.

The Zina verse talks about illicit sex, including gay sex.  Both "the doer and the done" are to be punished.

In the hadiths and anthars, there's plenty of anti-gay stuff.   There's one example though, where you can be a fag, but you can not do fag things, including looking at other men in a faggy way.

People love to cherry pick the bits they like out of their religion and deny the rest exists.

I just wanted scholars to reinterpret it. dont be an extremist atheist asshole. I am not Islamist. a lot of gays r Muslim because they believe in God and that gives them internal peace. I want a solution by merging the sexuality and Islam. where is the real problem to merge it? does it harm the god's earth? remember God does not need a religion. He gave the religion to build a civilized and ruled society. because you know without law there is a anarchy. find a solution. Quran has not been finished interpretation. It can be interpreted as long as the human lives.

Islam hasn't been in reformed in centuries, it's not going to happen now, it'd go against the very fundamentals of the religion.

The only solution for Islam is called atheism, and let's hope it spreads throughout Islamic nations sooner than later because the more people read the texts and take them seriously, the more extreme they become.

@guyleaden:

Existe, sua experiência foi com um fake, mas tá cheio de GP por aí que só precisa de grana mesmo. (e todo mundo sabe que poucas mulheres se dispoem a pagar por esse tipo de serviço)

Quanto ao straight for pay, não rola porque a grande maioria dos homossexuais são misoginos a ponto de ter ânsia só de ver buceta. Então eu não caracterizaria como você definiu.

Se não gostar de buceta é misoginia, então como fica aquela história de "eu nasci assim, não posso mudar"?

De acordo com o seu post, a conclusão é de que gay tem de receber re-educação para se livrar da misoginia e aí vira hétero?

These complaints from the trans community seem to be quite rapey in the age of #metoo.

There are 3 things at play here.

1- First Nations get lesser sentences for the same crimes due to historical past of abuse, even though most criminals go through abusive childhoods regardless of race. Indeed fuck equality.

2- Canada is infested with social justice judges. The chief of the Nation where the facility is located is opposed to the transfer of the child killer to their land but in name of social justice the judge has put an entire First Nations community in danger.

3- The concept of an Indigenous healing lodge by itself is ridiculous. Some people may indeed find it easier to rehabilitate in an aboriginal program but the same can be said for religious programs. We don't have "evangelical healing lodges" or "Islamic healing lodges" I don't see why one group is allowed to have their own special detention facilities.

Anyway, crimes like this make me think we should reinstate the death penalty in Canada.

@baymartin:

If you are looking for something to be against, why not being against people in somalia dying from hunger.

You can be against hunger in Somalia and Muslim gang rapes in Europe at the same time.

There's a strange fellowship between the Western left and the Islamic right.

@Higgs:

I don't think this is true. I am ready to be corrected, but I am not aware of any reasonable public debate in France that has been "shut down" or labelled as racist and Islamophobic. In fact the public debate in France is extremely robust. This idea that people raising genuine and legitimate critiques of Islam are being oppressed and stifled just does not wash with me.

Aren't FN meetings under constant attack? Wasn't Le Pen herself a victim of censorship for posting a tweet showcasing ISIS crimes?

@Higgs:

In fact, I think this claim is itself an attempt to distract attention from a much bigger and more pressing problem in France: genuine institutionalised racism and prejudice in French society.

It's hard to be accepting when Muslims are terrorizing, raping and murdering Europeans.

@Higgs:

It is certainly true that second and third-generation Arabs are turning their backs on the liberalism of their parents, and questions need to be asked about why this is. It also needs to be asked why this is happening in France so much more than in other countries: radicalisation of young Muslims is not an exclusively French problem, but it seems to be a far more serious issue in France than in it is in - say - Britain or Germany or Scandinavia. France has a really serious problem with disaffected and marginalised young Muslims who were born in France but do not feel French, and feel they have no stake in their own country or in the values of the Republic. And it is of course perfectly legitimate to ask whether this problem is related to the nature of Islam. But it is also necessary to ask whether this problem has anything to do with the nature of France.

The typical European jihadist is not marginalized, they are often middle or upper class people. These people don't feel French and they don't want to, Islam is a supremacist religion and they believe Europeans are kafirs.

There are hundreds of marginalized groups in Western societies but only one is carrying out thousands of attacks every year in name of their religion. If the problem was French society, countries like India, Myanmar, China and the Philippines wouldn't be affected by Islamic terrorism.

@Higgs:

Finally, yes, terrorism is a fact of life. But it's nothing new. In much of Europe (Spain, Britain, Italy), terrorism has been a fact of life for decades. France has suffered terrorism continuously throughout the twentieth century from all manner of political and religious groups. It's nothing new, but it is a fact of life and people live with it: like the posters say, we "keep calm and carry on." You are considerably more likely to be struck by lightning than killed by a terrorist. You're more likely to slip and break your neck on a bathmat. So you might want to lower your umbrella when you go out in a storm, but avoiding French airports because of a negligible risk is just silly.

Terrorism is not a fact of life and should not be accepted as such. Terrorist activity was declining in Western Europe until Islamic terrorism became a problem due to uncontrolled migration. No terrorist group in Western Europe in recent history has engaged in the same type of mass murder, genocide and slavery that is daily practiced in the Middle East in name of religion.

And why should I support a country whose government is not very concerned about the security of its people and tourists?

@Higgs:

I have lived in Muslim countries. I have lived in predominantly Muslim countries where gay men are no less safe and accepted than they are in Europe (and rather safer than they are in France).  Your sweeping assumptions about Islam and about Muslims are based entirely on ignorance.

What Muslim majority country is accepting of gay people?

@Higgs:

And frankly, I think this is revolting. It is appallingly hypocritical to insist on the importance of 'human rights' for gay people while denying the same rights to other groups that suffer from far greater marginalisation.

What rights are Muslims denied in Western countries? They are welcomed with open arms and even get to impose their supremacist religion on everyone else.

@raphjd:

Look at the polls.   Muslims don't support western life, like the SJWs want us to believe.

Muslims don't really support anything that's not rooted in Islamic theology. Look at what's happening to religious minorities in every Muslim majority country.

Okay time to debunk some myths.

1. Brazil is not a poor country but it has A LOT of poor people. Poverty is everywhere, 1/4 of the population lives on social assistance, the average wage is about 700 dollars per month and the middle class accounts to about 15 million people. Keep in mind that's a country of 205 million people.

2. Absolutely right, nobody cares about carnival in the southern states or in the mid-west but ultimately carnival is part of national culture and somewhat appreciated overseas.

3. Public healthcare is awful in Brazil, everyone with $ buys private insurance… The gov't has to hire Cuban doctors to work in rural areas and people constantly die waiting for emergency services in public hospitals. Brazilian universities are free but produce very little scientific content that's relevant to the world.

4. Brazil the second largest LGBT pride in the world... and also one of the highest rate of hate crimes against LGBT people. Violent crime in general is rampant. I left the country in 2012 after getting mugged several times, my house broken into few times and eventually kidnapped. Every single one of my family members fell victim to violent crime. My cousin was shot to death in the middle of the night after a break in. The crime situation is total insanity but Brazilians keep pretending it's not a big deal.

5. Brazilians are not latino and Hispanic but we are Latin, just like Italians, Argentines, Portuguese, French Canadians, etc.

6. Yeah, that's why there's a shit basket in every washroom because people still haven't learned to throw used toilet paper in the toilet or are simply clueless about modern piping.

7. It's definitely a warm culture but people can be full of themselves.

9. Brazil was the main destination for many Japanese immigrants in the 20th century but that was before the country fell into cultural and moral decline.

10. It's not free, it's paid by everyone through taxes, which are INSANELY HIGH. The only thing you can do in Brazil without paying taxes is to breathe. There are taxes on everything. Tax rate for basic needs like coffee and toilet paper is 40%, "luxury" items like electronics is 50-60%. Add another 35% if the item is not made in Brazil or Argentina.

13. Why are Brazilians still obsessed with Dummont? Few people care outside of Brazil but it's a big deal in the country.

15. Globo is not relevant internationally at all.

Disgusting. Should rot in prison.

@aadam101:

How is that slavery?  The illegal immigrants are free to work elsewhere.  They are also paid fair wages and are living a life that it much better than where they came from.  They can also go home anytime they like.

Calling it slavery is an exaggeration, but it does create a class of second-class people in society, which is never a good thing.

You know what doesn't make any sense? Notice the AFBF claims there's a labour shortage and Americans don't want to do low status work, but they very specifically advocate for illegal immigration. No push to legally hire foreign workers at the same wage level that would normally be paid to American workers.

People who subscribe to progressive liberal values and believe in equality should not be condescending to illegals. It's either legal immigration and full rights in society or no immigration and no breaking the law.

"Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time."

• Winston Churchill

Question for the OP, if not democracy… then what?

These claims are completely hysterical.

A new study from the American Farm Bureau Federation finds that Donald Trump’s mass deportation dragnet could cause the agricultural industry to lose tens of billions of dollars in economic output and raise food prices for all Americans, which would hit poorer families the hardest.

Labour is only a fraction of the cost of food… seriously, it's not even 10% for labour intensive crops. Price increases are insignificant compared to the positive impact of not having illegals draining public services and not contributing.

http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/low-paid-illegal-work-force-has-little-impact-on-prices/

Tomatoes are going to cost $1.55/lb as opposed to $1.50/lb!!! THE HORROR!!!

What's next? Reinstate slavery because people can't afford paying an extra five cents for tomatoes?

But, if farmers lost all access to undocumented workers it could cause agricultural output to plunge by $30 billion to $60 billion and it could force food prices higher by 5 percent to 7 percent, according to a study by the by the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF).

So this is not even about immigration but about conniving to keep illegals from getting busted. The impact of illegals is completely overstated, they are only 25% of farm workers.

A big lie used by anti-immigration supporters is that immigrants take jobs away from native-born Americans, but the numbers do not agree when it comes to farming. Even when farmers raise wages, many say they don't get more than a few Americans applying for their jobs. And, even when an American applies and accepts a job — many don't come back the second day. It's hard, back-breaking work and it's seasonal and migratory — something most Americans don't want to do.

Americans don't refuse to do low status work, farms are usually located in areas where few people live and there's not a lot of people that will take a couple weeks off their regular job to pick. Americans absolutely do low status work and even relocate if the job pays well, as it's the case with mining, rigging, etc. Some farms are just not willing to risk their profits because there's plenty of cheap labour available.

if your business model can't turn a profit without violating federal law, you shouldn't be in business at all.

How can you hate Macron? He's like crème brûlée - bland, tasteless, inoffensive. Sweet and safe to feed to small children and sick people. The least divisive of all possible dessert-options.  Nobody loves it. Nobody even really enjoys it. But you can't hate it because there's nothing there to hate.

Unfortunately the atmosphere of late with political elections has left people drawing ire towards even mild candidates when a "peculiar" candidate like (Trump) Le Pen is serving as the opponent. Populist are stoking fires and exaggerating the reality of things and this is creating infighting among groups that are growing more and more divided.

I laugh at this notion that "populist" politicians fuel hatred among different groups. As if millions of people wake up one day and decide they will "hate" certain type of people.

I'd like to see specific quotes or policies from Le Pen that are supposedly hateful.

It's interesting how people demonize Le Pen and Trump yet ignore that in supposedly "progressive" Germany there were 3,500 attacks on refugees last year. There are more hate crimes against immigrants in Germany than in the US, despite the massive difference in terms of population. But instead of dealing with their own problems, German officials bash Trump and Americans for their choice of president.

This groupthink and pathological denialism of their own problems will come at a high cost for Western European countries.

The problem with mainstream politics in many European countries including France is that perfectly reasonable debates are being shut down and labelled as "racist" or "xenophobe" or "islamophobe" even when some of the key people leading those debates are immigrants or Muslims. There's a problem with Islamic ideology in Europe where second and third generation European-born, middle class people are becoming increasingly radicalized because they think their secular parents who immigrated from the Middle East or North Africa during the last century don't follow true Islam.

Terrorism is being normalized as part of daily life and it will certainly affect tourism revenue. I've been avoiding France and French airports due to the terrorism threat whenever I travel to Europe. There's no way to deny the problem when millennials and LGBT which are some of the most traditionally left wing groups out there are supporting a conservative candidate in large numbers.

If candidate X is supposedly divisive, it means that society is already divided and gave that particular candidate a mainstream platform. Electing  candidate Y because he's the least divisive won't make society any more united, it will more likely increase the divisiveness within society, particularly if candidate Y dismisses the concerns of the people who support candidate X. Governments have an obligation to the people they represent and to reconcile different perspectives and bring everyone to the centre.

I think there are many reasons to dislike or distrust Macron, including his failure to deliver as finance minister (he was the architect of the current - and failed - economic plan) and his support for the normalization of terrorism. He's extremely inexperienced in matters of security and he'll lead a country that's currently under state of emergency - the recipe for disaster.

Personally, I wouldn't trust a guy whose party's acronym are his own initials. He screams elitism and hypocrisy.

It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that his approval ratings are low, he wasn't elected with massive popular support and the left has been trying to sabotage his presidency since day 1.

It seems to me that his approval rates haven't changed much since January, with fewer people disapproving his presidency now.

I don't think performance is necessarily the key metric for public perception, Trump might end up being a very good or very bad president in four years, but a significant shift in perception will be a matter people abandoning their doomsday mentality and judging his performance through the same lenses as they looked at Obama's performance.

@oliverqueen3:

Regardless of your political leanings or feelings toward Clinton, she was the most "qualified" person to have run in the 2016 election.

Clinton was definitely the most qualified candidate, but at the end of the day, what matters is the candidate's ideas and platform, not qualification. If you base your vote on qualification as opposed to ideas, then ordinary people will never hold these high elected positions. This is the kind of elitist/born into privilege mentality that has driven away some old school/labour movement types from the Democratic Party.

I don't think you meant to say that Clinton was most "qualified".   I think you meant to  say that she was most "experienced".  She has spent her lifetime in politics.   If she had won, she would finish off destroying what Obama missed.   I think it is disgusting that a huge part of her platform was "government subsidized, guilt-free abortions on demand.. even up until the day of delivery".  Even the supporters of that goal should be horrified that it would comprise a major part of her platform.  Abortion is bad.  Perhaps not as bad as giving birth to a child that nobody can or will take care of, but it is bad nonetheless.  It's nothing to be proud or supportive of.  Anybody in favor of abortion rights should do so with great REGRET.  Hillary was far too enthusiastic about it.  You won't believe this.. but one of Hillary's biggest supporters was this crazy woman who said she wished she had gotten pregnant so she could exercise her right to have an abortion!  How sick is that?

Indeed, "experienced" would have been a better word choice.

@Negrescence:

You often see post on here vilifying Clinton and using misinformation to claim how corrupt she is. Every post has been debunked with sourced information and with detail and every post against Trump also resides in the same rigor of research and fact-checking. I can't understand how this continues to persist and on this site it is Trump supporters that throw out these outlandish claims just to be on the defensive when the litany of facts bombard them. You have no idea what makes her vile and so supporters just repeatedly throw out debunked slights against Hillary over and over to no end as if they're hoping, in time, that we too will leave reality behind.

It's not that Hillary is the embodiment of all evil in the world and Trump certainly isn't above criticism. But you can't complain about the vilification of Hillary Clinton as if it was a problem when Trump has been compared to Hitler and his presidency is under constant attack.

There's also an expectation that people claiming the moral high ground practice what they preach. Clinton unleashed a monster when she attacked Trump's personal record when hers was not morally superior.
