Of course not. But there's plenty of documented, violent crimes against gays in the U.S.... one of the most recent being the infamous shooting at the Orlando gay bar. It's not part of the mainstream culture to violently attack gays, of course, but a lot of misguided, hateful people do. It's not part of the Saudi culture to throw gays off rooftops... but I'm sure it has happened lots of times. It goes back to my original statement.

"We don't marry our first cousins"

Again, the vast majority of Americans don't. But there's documented issues with inbreeding in states such as Kentucky. Again, you can't judge a culture because of some extremist sectors.


When all is said and done, I'd rather live in this part of the world than in the Middle East..... but that's mostly I was born and raised in the West and am used to our ways. If I'd been born and raised over there I might very well see things a little differently.
Ah yes, the Pulse Nightclub shooting, the one done by the guy who pledged his allegiance to ISIS.....brilliant example of how horrible AMERICANS are to gays

Violence against gays in the United States is not community sanctioned, it's not "Hey everyone, we're going to sing 'It's Raining Men' and throw these guys off of the roof and if they survive the fall you crowd of people below just pelt them with rocks until they stop moving, it'll be a great community effort right?"....that doesn't happen TitoFan.



"Again, the vast majority of Americans don't".....


So I guess we just won't ever be able to tell if one culture is better than another seeing how Kentuckians are constantly blowing everything up and beheading anyone who doesn't abide by their backwards ways of thinking.




Dude, at least be reasonable....the Orlando nightclub shooting as an example of how Americans treat gay people....that hurts my brain to even attempt to put myself in your shoes and imagine how you decided that was an argument which helped YOUR side of this debate. Holy shit man...what will we see next?


'You see, Sirhan Sirhan's assassination of Robert Kennedy illustrates just how poorly Americans view Catholics'

'One must understand....you see how Leon Klinghoffer was treated aboard the Achille Lauro. That shows just how horrible Americans treat those with disabilities'

'When you look at Pan Am flight 103, you begin to notice just how much hate Americans have for international flights'
