1. Doesn't give a shit unless it can be directed at "The commies."

Same goes for most human rights violations.

3. maybe just "some" commies

China seems to be skating, and not just at the Winter Olympics.

2. Do you really not see a difference?

Sure, there will always be inconsistencies, but Russia, unlike SA, backslid in a big way! If New Zealand passed a law like theirs it would be all over DU. There were several posts about the disastrous ruling in India regarding GLBT issues.

The bigger question: How does DU REALLY feel about gay rights and persecution?

Take a look at many of the recent threads about GLBT persecution and the LOW number of reads, recommendations and comments.

5. Feels about equal rights for all?

They are for equal rights for all, once they become educated.

And once they become educated they will see that persecution is wrong.

7. The US is an abstract collection of about 300 million people, who have widely varying views

9. They couldn't care less except insofar as it serves to keep you all from

looking at what's actually being done every day.

Marriage equality is wonderful, as are all of the other social gains made and still being fought for, but don't think for a moment that the parasites care one way or the other. They are just tools to keep you from noticing that all you really end up with is each other in a nation/world stripped bare.

12. They think it's a handy tool, a weapon. Everything is a weapon or a target, right? nt

13. At the 36 Olympics, the US competed but refused to allow the Jewish members to compete

Folks wrote about what nonsense it was to claim Germany discriminated against Jews, Mr Brundage of the Olympic committee declared there was no discrimination and that the 'rumors' were an attempt to discredit Hitler, launched by the press and the Jews.
Have a good Olympic Games, enjoy your ski show!
