[QUOTE="WirSindBettler, post: 67116470, member: 373839"] I know I'm coming into this discussion late, but I think that the charges are absurd. So he's opposed to homosexuality. So he voiced his opinion in such a manner that may have influenced others. Both of these things are legal, last time I checked. So now he's being charged with crimes against humanity (that's pretty darn serious) by the Ugandans . . . in a U.S. Court. What? Why don't they just petition to have him extradited to Uganda? Also, (a) he didn't physically draft the bill, and (b), the bill, if passed, had to at least been voted on by a parliament or some sort of council or people, so why is he charged and not this council? If a person stands on the street corner and says that homosexuality is a disease and that it needs to go bye-bye, and some guy stands back, and, upon listening, decides to go kill a homosexual, is it the speakers fault? Did he decide to kill that individual and pull the trigger? If that's the case, why do we blame Hitler, and not the Anti-Semites he quoted (such as, no matter how much it pains me to say this, my hero Martin Luther, or Wagner, or Henry Ford)? The enactors should be punished, not the inspiration. Unless it can be proven that Scott Lively, legalistic Christian that he is, either drafted, enacted, or followed through on the Bill, he should not and cannot rightly be considered guilty. [/QUOTE]
