<p>Opposing gay marriage is one thing. Putting people in jail because they are homosexuals is quite another. When South African engaged in apartheid most countries shunned them. I think it is time for the free world to shun the barbarians living in Nigeria.</p>
<p>Why do you care ?? In your country just fight to whomever you want, But leave other countries to act as they want.
What did we gain from Homosexuality but more Aids and more issues coming to our world just because of homosexuality.</p>
<p>Again, If you want to allow homosexuality in your country, then allow it. But you have nothing to do with other countries. I will not , in whatever circumanctance, agree to allowing homosexuality in my country. BTW it is forbidden in my country and we the PEOPLE of the country are happy the way things are.</p>
<p>One more thing, what does this has to do with education ?? Isn’t this supposed to be " College " confidential ??</p>
<p>This is the Parent Cafe, so general topics are appropriate. Whether this one is political or not may be an issue.</p>
<p>I think the question should be whether the US should provide aid to countries that don’t share our values. Nigeria got 614 million of our dollars in 2010.</p>
<p>OP,
Are you suggesting that we bomb them for that or impose some sanctions? There are much more hidious crimes in many different countries, including Nigeria. Are we suppose to go around the world imposing our values on everybody? We are doing enough of it as it is with dismal results that taking them backwards, not forward in most cases.</p>
<p>My son who is straight has a contract with a company and is working in the UE and I can’t wait for him to be home. It has been an experience for him but he is anxious to get home. I think the news regarding Nigeria is very relative for the parent cafe because so many kids are traveling and studying abroad. My son could not have imagined how hard it would be being a young healthy male in a country that is so different from the United States. He has almost a year and a half to go before coming back home…he can’t wait.</p>
<p>Last time I checked shunning did not include bombing. </p>
<p>We should condemn them publicly and cut off all funding to Nigeria regardless of the consequences to them.</p>
<p>Homosexuals are born that way. If Nigeria was killing mentally disabled people are you telling me you would do nothing because you didn’t want to impose our values on an obvious human rights violation like killing mentally disabled people who were born that way?</p>
<p>It wasn’t all that long ago that homosexual activity was illegal in some of these United States. I wonder if all such laws have been removed from the books in every state.</p>
<p>“I think the question should be whether the US should provide aid to countries that don’t share our values. Nigeria got 614 million of our dollars in 2010.”</p>
<p>Great post Hunt, this gives every American a reason to care!</p>
<p>They are not barbarians they are savages. I lived there over 20 years ago for a little over a year and slavery was alive and well (it still is). I saw a public execution and in some cases justice would be meted out on the spot by putting tires around a person and setting them afire. Religion and JuJu (black magic) was very popular. It was a Chrisitan country at the time and became Muslim not long after I was there. Marian, as for the law enforcement resources well, they are extremely limited to begin with and highly corrupt and quite useless. People in this country have absolutely no idea what life is like there. They are several centuries behind us and we should do nothing to help them as they refuse to help themselves. Once the Brits left it went downhill as did most African countries. Better for the rest of the world for these countries to have been controlled by the Brits or French than religion.</p>
