    Hello All,

    I have been following this for a while now and it looks like the court has reached to the right decision by putting idiots like these where they belong.


    Link to the full article by BBC News

    What is interesting in this case, given that he is Saudi and a prince, from the story outline he seems homosexual. Is sharia law going to have any rules over the Saudi prince? I don't think so

    I highly doubt that :)

    If this exact same scenario happened in Saudi Arabia or the anywhere in the middle east, we wouldn't know about the murder.

    I'm curious to know how Christianity and Islam differ in their treatment of homosexuals.

    If only Moses had possessed the good sense to make "Mind your own business" the 11th commandment.

    What ? You really think that it's OK for a kid to grow whit a mom called Bob and a dad called Tony ? I'm not talking about single parents that are gay I'm talking about those that are married .

    Yes, I do. In fact, I think it's better for a child to have two parents than one -- whether both parents are the same gender or not.

    But even if I did not think that, I would still have the good sense to realize that this is a family matter and not an issue where either I or the government have any right to interfere.

    Ahh dude , a gay couple isn't a family . They are just two people in love whit each other . A kid needs a family to develop basic human behavior . And when it comes to adoption we sure as hell have the right to interfere , by we I mean the government .

    I agree with Apocalypse. Gay couples shouldn't be allowed to adopt kids, for the kids sake - which is not theirs to begin with.

    Single people raise children all the time. A gay couple is a far better alternative to that.

    So you want a child to have a "mommy" called Bubba or "dad" called Mary , nice one Will . Next you're gonna tell me that you regret growing up in a normal family . Single part are not having a blast raising their kids . Being a single parent is one of the toughest jobs in the world and kids raised by a single parent will have a harder time adapting to life . Blah let's not get in child psychology I already drove two uni professors crazy whit the one lol , it's a boring subject .

    What I believe, is that children are highly resilient. They're capable of bouncing back and recovering from so many disadvantages of childhood, but the most devastating of all in life, would be if the child felt as though they were never loved. If you have a male "mommy" and "daddy" this presents challenges, but not one that can't be overcome. Young children need positive, loving role models of both sexes as they grow up, otherwise they may have difficulting relating to a certain sex. So, if you had a happy, secure, and loving family with two male parents, they would have a good chance of raising a child into healthy adult, if auntie or grandma were involved with the child as well while growing up. Just my opinion anyway.

    I also think that it wouldn't be a normal environment for a kid to grow up in. Say he grew up having 2 dads and no mom, how would the child interpret himself being in a society wherein his or her friends grew up not the same as his/her? Also, if it's not normal within a society, you're considered as a freak which eventually turns kids into psychos when they grow up.

    Just my 2 cents

    Rebecca even in ideal conditions the kid will grow up a confused about sexuality and whit emotional deficiencies . Kids need the love of a mother and the protection of a father . They need different feedback , different point of views and such . It's a huge list of what one gender can't do and the other can . When we're talking about a couple adopting we're entrusting that child's future in their hands not in the hands of an aunt or grandma . This is from what i learned in 3 years of pedagogy .

    As a personal opinion I would never trust a woman to defend a kid and I would never trust a man to provide constant affection . Men are idiots when it comes to a kid crying or having a emotional problems and woman will be unable to resist in a fight or psychological war . The reality is that even a lot of families that have good condition for a child fail at parenting .

    A prince from Saudi Arabia, of all the places, turns out to be gay. He must be happy that he's being jailed in the UK

    Do you mean god should have created only Adams or only Eves?

    Edit:
    Also 'Mind your own business' business sounds good only as a concept. Homo sexual families (if they can be called families) can't sustain as independent family units right from wanting to have children. It's different that the concept of gay family is ridden with flaws and compromises.

    Single parenthood is almost always the result of turn of events in ones' life and in it, you can raise the children in the most normal (not myth) way unlike in a gay family.

    Nothing can replace the love of a mother to a child. A gay couple should not raise kids. They will do more social harm to the kid than benefit.
