A billion people in China but the Sac Bee chooses to focus on just two of them.

Who knew that sticking one’s oar in the wrong pond conferred rights?

The courts in Russia and China have some common sense on this issue.

The courts in the muslim nation of The United States are all over the map.

China is smart not to allow this cancer into their midst. They can surely see from outside their borders that faggot-marriage is one of the most symblematic signs of a rotting, dying civilization.

Don’t be so sure

I am writing this from one of the nuclear power plants in China. There is a military base here.

Saw two Chinese men in fatigues walking and holding hands just outside the entrance to the protected area yesterday

Truly amazing! Who would have imagined that Putin’s former soviets and the Chicoms would put up more of a defense of civilized standards, keeping Lance out of Bruce, than does our absolutely degenerate US led down the road to perdition by Sandra Day O’Kennedy and several shades of gray (Sotomayor, Ginsberg, Breyer, Kagan) and now, perhaps a barbarian to be named later to Scalia’s seat.

China knows it will open the door to sex with children (Pedophilia), sex with animals (Bestiality) , sex with the dead (Necrophilia), Polygamy and promote the spread of Sexual Diseases (such as AIDS [lingering death], Syphilis [blindness and death] and many others).

If they know it why don't we?

Yes but it gets around the “too few women” problem

Yes it does, but has the BURNING ALIVE FOREVER IN THE LAKE OF FIRE problem too.

It's really sad when Russia and China have higher moral values on an issue then the U.S.

7,000,000,000 = approximate number of people on earth

6,950,000,000 = approximate number who know homosexuality is abnormal.

Because here it gets tied up - even as much as our society tries to hide it - with holiness. In China it’s still a strictly secular affair.

You are in China??

I didn’t realize that the Chinese would allow internet access to a site such as this one. Or do you go around government restrictions somehow, perhaps by a satellite hookup?

Better tell the San Francisco Board of Supervisors that China does not like homos

“San Francisco, as the Capital of Chinese Americans, has a special role in US-China relations. San Francisco looks forward to maintaining stronger cooperation with China in trade, business, high-tech and cultural exchanges.”

With the Activist Judges that have come to the front over the past 7 years is it a surprise about moral values?
