Brunei introduces death by stoning for gay sex under strict sharia law

[Jingthing]

Stoning in this day and age? Should be condemned along with other forms of torture like waterboarding which some countries practice.

There is no equivalence. Stoning is meant to torture and KILL. Waterboarding is torture but for extreme interrogation. Not condoning waterboarding but find the attempt to suggest an equivalence quite sleazy.

A bunch of off topic, argumentative posts removed.

Good modding.

I've had that weirdo stalking me and my family for quite a while now.

This topic is too similar to the one running in the World News Section and so I will close it. If you wish to post here is a link:

I am aware that this one is specifically about how gays can/will be treated.

I also note some posts which discussed moderation and related matters in the forum. It is best to PM a moderator if you have questions or comments.

There is a gay-specific post now in the World News Section here:

For those that are interested.
