It's the religion of peace, you see
- As if Christians in America aren’t trying to do the same.
  
  Religion needs to be killed off already.
  
  I grew up confused as fuck and full of self doubt that's to a quasi religious upbringing and falling into a religious "crowd" (why couldn't I just have done drugs like all the cool people).
  
  religion can fuck off entirely. none of it is good except putting people down
  
  Or those "religious" people could remember their own f***ing religion for once instead of hallucinating something they like more at the moment.
  
  For example I'm pretty sure there's something in the bible about those evil rainbows...Oh, yeah:
  
  "And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth."
  
  I'm also pretty sure remembering my history lessons muslims up to 150 years ago accepted homosexuality as something completely natural and there's a lot of documented confusion why European christians at that time disagreed so heavily.
  
  Seriousy... I'm no fan of religion. But it isn't even religion to be blamed here but morons using religion as a pretense even if they have to invent and add new things to their religions to do so.
  
  But if religion goes, then all the religious holidays go too. Where I live (North-Rhine Westfalia, Germany), that's 8 days less off every year! I'm an atheist myself, but I do enjoy the time off.
- People often complain about the Quran containing disturbing stuff, but it's not like the Bible doesn't.
  
  Both suck, but this post is related to only one of them
In Malaysia, the fashion police will kill you.
“noooooooo you can’t have the colorful watcherino it’s gonna make me suck a man’s dick nooooooo”
Some governments are just pathetic and sad... I don't even... Ughh
- How fragile their ego's must be. Can't have anyone being different!
"What time is it?"

TIME FOR YOU TO GO TO JAIL
We should bombard them with 20 megatons of gay swatches, make it rain.
Way to go, malaise-ya. You're making even American culture war nonsense look dignified by comparison.
Who is even wearing 6 different mono-colored watches at the same time just to make a point?
- No see, you and all your friends wear a different color, and when you stick your hands together and proclaim your orientation, gay Captain Planet comes out
- They're not. Don't know where you got that idea from
  
  I get his point though - just wearing one of them really has no LGBT affiliation: it just looks like a monochromatic watch. Maybe it's that subversion that Malaysia is afraid of.
Ah, the religion of piss
