It doesn't matter if no one outside of Africa can show where Malawi is on the map, as that doesn't affect people's lives, as they will still get their aid money.

However, having hateful laws against an entire segment of your population does affect lives.

People will not come forward to proclaim they are gay in a country with such harsh and homophobic laws as we see in Malawi and the rest of Africa.  Maybe aid to Africa {and Jamaica} should be conditional on them getting rid of their hate filled laws.

How can anyone be President of a country and not know that there are laws against an entire segment of the country's population?

Are Malawians that closed off from the rest of the world that they have no idea what being gays is?

Try VLC player.

So the Malawian President is still a homophobe because he still thinks homosexuality is wrong, but he's not an evil one or something like that.

If it weren't for the massive negative international press, he would have been completely happy with the situation.

I'm always a sucker for a good/happy animal story.  :hug2:

So it's not a deal to repeal DA, DT, but a deal to possibly repeal it next year, or after some year after that, or never.

Allowing gays to openly serve has not had an effect on any other military, so why do so many people think the US will go into meltdown if they do it as well?!

I think he's very good.

The saddest part in this is IF you were to suggest that nations not give aid to countries like this, then you would be labelled a racist.  This is especially true of the ultra liberal crowd.

I have been labelled a racist and homophobe because I criticized the Obama administration's 2 defences of DoMA where they said that gay relationships are no better than incest, bestiality and pedophilia.    That I criticized Obama made me a racist, that I criticized Obama who apparently has done so much for the gay community, made me a homophobe.

You can't win for losing.

Frugal cooking is sometimes the best meal you will ever have the pleasure to eat!!!

That is so very true.

Ask him to author a bill to remove the special protections that are already the law; ie religion, race, creed, color, gender, disability, etc, etc and see how he replies.

Of course he won't have the courage to do that.

I'm not talking about the big black power cable that plugs into the wall, but the internal power cable that hooks up to the back of player.

Also, your SATA cable may be bad.

It happens in the UK as well.

Also, not long ago {a couple of months maybe}, the now former Education Minister Ed Ball, changed the rules so that taxpayer funded religious schools can teach their own brand of hate on issues like homosexuality and abortion.  Previously, only the non taxpayer funded schools could do that.

So now gay Brits {and permanent residents} have to pay taxes to fund hate directed directly at us.

Not surprisingly in this day and age of "equality", they can not teach that other minorities or religions are bad.

This is from the same Labour party that, like Obama, claims to love gays the most.  While taking every chance they get to stab gays in the back.

Do you have a spare power cable in your computer to see if the drive is getting power or enough power?

Is your new dvd player the same brand as your old one?  If your drivers are messed up, it might affect your new dvd player.

Since it's your "rave" tell us what you love about it.

It's being said that the murder suspect faked his attack to appear to be a victim too.

The more I see of this this story, the more I am convinced it's another gay and ashamed person killing his sex partner to get rid of the evidence of his gayness.

If you saw the story when it 1st appeared in the news, there were 2 boys that were attacked.

Well, it turns out, that the murder suspect is the 2nd so called victim from the early reports.

Maybe they had sex and the other boy was afraid Jack might tell someone.

Sadly, the mess UK politics are in right now after the election, this story got buried.  :cry2:

To be honest, I have no idea about the job in this thread.

I might as well lock and unsticky it.

I wonder if "carrying my luggage" is a euphemism like "tossed salad".
