Latest UN shocker: 'It's ok to kill gays'.

Not disputing the results of the vote, but many of those votes are from parts of the world where you couldn't expect any different. I'm disputing the conclusions drawn by the journalist.

And this is just one of the many examples, where I'd be quite happy if the state would just knock off some of it's citizens

My recollection of that Thursday morning is that those particular "citizens" did a good job of knocking themselves off
One thing about suicide bombers is that they save us from having the capital punishment debate eh?

Pity the state didn't get to them first though eh?

That's a ****ing disgrace!! If there are countries in the UN that don't recgnise the basic human rights of gay people then they shouldn't be in the UN!! The UN was started because of the atrocities the Nazis inflicted upon people in the holocaust. The holocaust wasn't just about exterminating jewish people but black, disabled, insane, sick, people with genetic defects and homosexuals.
It is the very reason the UN exsist yet they let these countries who discriminate even against women be part of the United Nations!!
They've lost sight of their mission.

Or they accept that Rome wasn't built in a day.

You can't force attitude change, you have expose to something different, then steer and coax. If they don't allow the countries that harbour these attitudes be members, then how will they ever achieve that mission?

Whether the UN have lost sight of their mission, or whether they are effective in their mission is another argument. But this vote on gays doesn't conclude that argument.
