Indonesia Moves To Ban Same-Sex Emojis On Messaging Apps (thestack.com)
An anonymous reader writes: The Indonesian government has this week demanded that instant messaging apps available in the country remove all same-sex emoticons from their platforms, or face heavy sanctions. While homosexuality is not illegal in the country, it remains a controversial issue in the Muslim-dominated country. Now in the latest effort to crackdown on gay rights, Indonesian authorities want to ban emojis, stickers and emoticons which depict same-sex couples, the rainbow flag, and any symbol that symbolises the lesbian, bay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community. Apps that have been targeted by the demands include the popular Asian messaging app LINE, Whatsapp, Facebook and Twitter. The Indonesian Communication and Information Ministry added that a particular concern was that children would find the bright coloured stickers appealing.
And Americans are awfully quiet when christian politicians harass transsexuals with bathroom bills, and christians try to introduce bills that would authorize the killing of LGBTti people (fortunately, after the paperwork was filed, a judge ruled the attempt unconstitutional).
Muslim extremists, Christian extremists - they're just two sides of the same coin. Fortunately, the majority in both camps don't go along with this crap. As for the SJWs, they're so full of it that the only people listening to them are other SJW wannabes.
"Transparent" is a shit show that trades on every stereotype going. A man in drag is NOT a transsexual.
People put way too much credence on what they read on the Internet. And reading it from "multiple sources" means nothing either, because all those "sources" just copy each other.
This article is about yet another Muslim country implementing homophobic laws, and half of the comments are already immediately teeing off on Christianity without even a nod to the article itself. Nothing constructive or insightful . . . just an attempt to deflect and scream "but the other team is even worse!" Fuck you . . . you're not helping.
Bah ... if there's a god of the universe he made it with cool shit like gravity waves and other things we can understand using things like relativity, filled it with vast and complex things to amaze and delight us, and gave us the capacity to investigate and understand it, and ponder our own place in it.
That god is sitting around going "what the fuck are the little squishy ones on that little fucking rock doing ?"
It's the fucking humans which are the whiny little petulant assholes who can't get over our own bullshit and fantasies about shit like this.
Narrow minded people need to imagine a narrow minded god.
Lost at C:>. Found at C.

BULLSHIT.
Again:
Muslim extremists, Christian extremists - they're just two sides of the same coin.
BULLSHIT
Who was killed over Piss Christ?
NO ONE.
Got the balls to say how many people were killed at Charlie Hebdo?
Got the stones to say how many people were killed of Mohammad cartoons?
Thank you so very much for demonstrating my point about SJWs having lower standards for non-white Islamic mores.
You fucking USELESS idiot.
Claim your dog is telling you the truth of the universe and how life should be run, they lock you up in a mental institution. Claim your "god" is doing the same thing and get tax exempt status...
One could argue that the extremists are those who insist on dragging paedoterrorists, er... I mean SJW into every sodding thread regardless of it's relevance.
SJW n. One who posts facts.
BULLSHIT

NO ONE.

Insults removed, but the salient point really should left intact for emphasis, as it is quite valid.
Quo usque tandem abutere, Nimbus, patientia nostra?
SJW is mainly a straw man.
Yes, there are people who are completely bonkers, but they are so few that I am more inclined at thinking it is the people that misuses SJW for everyone they don't like that are the bigger problem.
> He's insecure and jealous. Not my idea, his own manual says so.
His/Her manual also says in Jer 8:8:
Blaming God because (some) Men distort the truth is tossing the baby out with the bathwater. i.e. Sacrifices were never commanded (Jer 7:22)
Jesus clarified the spiritual immaturity & stupidity of Judaism when he quotes Hosea 6:6
> But instead he hides
If everyone knew God existed it wouldn't change a single thing. Why? Because you're forgetting about a little experiment called Earth:
Free Will
> because it is possible to explain this universe ... without there ever being some kind of supernatural entity required.
And the Laws of Physics just "magically" appeared one day?? Or are you saying they have always existed ??
The first law of Thermodynamics tells us:
Ergo, the universe has always existed, which implies the Laws of Physics have always existed.
Either way it takes faith to believe in an Eternal Universe or Eternal God. Infinity is curiouser and curiouser that way.
What you are missing is that, at the end of the day, who cares where your faith is placed?? What DOES matter is your _actions_ towards others. There is a reason ALL the major religions teach The Golden Rule. Look, ALL Religions bibles, holy works, and theology can be summarized in 2 words:
Love Unconditionally
THAT'S the point of pure Spirituality, not the corrupted versions of Judaism, Christianity, Islam selling Heaven Insurance.
