Countries are actually making it legal to have homosexual sex in public parks.

Prove it! I want to see links to PDFs or something attesting to this!
Since I have feeling you can't provide them, you do know that bearing false witness is a SIN according to your dogma.
It's about my hometown Amsterdam (the Netherlands), a poll has shown that some 70% of the population has no problem with 'cruising' in the 'Vondelpark' (as long as they keep it out of sight).

And, for the record, neither do I.
but then again:
Dieu créa le monde, mais les hollandais créèrent la Hollande." (Descartes)
So it's probably ok to be an atheist living here :D
Ah yes, the Netherlands. If Satan has a home country that would be it.
Yet they're so much better off than the average American. And they're not getting constantly hit with natural disasters.
Your god sure has bad aim.
Hi guys! Thanks for taking it!
That's what I thought as well Sausage Mohoney and SurfinSeaOtter (what a cute name! Yes, I'm female, I wonder what gave that away? ;) )
I wonder if it's a meme there, that "All homoexuals can't stop having sex in public parks." Even Reverend Phelps thinks it's true, that they "fornicate like dogs" in them (curtesy of a film I saw at Neflix, Small Town Gay Bar )
And as far as I know, public sex in parks is ilegal even here in "evil lib'ral Seattle" where I live. I mean, in some of the more "run-down" areas like Pioneer Square it happens, but it's frowned upon. And as far as I know, all the couples that did get caught were heterosexual.
And I wonder what countries she's thinking of as well. The Netherlands? France? What?
Oh, BTW ...
Our chief of Police has hastened to declare that his men, contrary to popular believe, *will* strictly police this matter !
But then again..... he's a closet fundie :D.
So, as more things here in Amsterdam, it's theoratically still illegal, but in reallity most of us don't give a damn .... at least, not as long as it doesn't get out of hand.
(think softdrugs for domestic use)
Reading the thread..between Amanda's mom lying for "Jeebus", the others saying that if they pray real hard that will get the economy back to where it should be or this incredibly amazing ability to ignore that it was CONSERVATIVES following a conservative plan that got us where we are now that allows them to still blame non-conservatives for what has been going on for the last 8 years..
I am getting stupid overload.
I'm only aware of it going to be (along with other varieties of sex) in Vondel Park (Vondelpark) of The Netherlands with talks of it being expanded throughout the country.

Amanda is dead, has been for a while. Her name is in honour of Amanda.
Actually it's amazing the number of people over at RR that have lost at least one child. Maybe the grief is what caused the break from reality.
I think I can see how True Christians are going to be persectuted during the Antichrist's reign- their minds are going to be harvested for the pornographic essence contained therein. All we ever hear from these people is either descriptions of hot gay group sex in public places or voyeuristic monologues on how irresistable women in revealing clothes can be. If you could concentrate that kind of filth into DVD form, you could make a fortune.
That sounds likely, seeing as how heterosexual sex in public parks must also be legal...
Wait...it isn't...
Someone's talking out of their ass again! (No tangential pun intended).
Hello Amanda's Mom. Are you jealous because you want to have homosex in public parks too?
Just joking. No. I know of no country that has made such a ruling. You'll have to give references.
@ Darn
Hoe is je! Indeed. If God had his way the Netherlands would be, in large part, accessible only by schnorkel.
@xotan
ah well, we better keep building them dikes then ;)
btw, I heard we're building them for Americans too nowadays .... because if god can't/won't protect New Orleans, maybe we can give it a try (and make a nice profit doing it)
Hmm, come to think of it, the last time we had a major flood here, in 1958, it hit one of our more godfearing provinces .... quite ironic when you come to think of it, could have been funny if it wasn't so sad....
Ok, if it's out of sight, I don't care. However, I don't want to see anyone sex in public, let alone homosexuals.
Amanda's Mom, this is what is called "exaggeration," and I believe the 9th commandment tells you not to do this.
One country is not "countries," cruising is not having sex, police being tolerant of something is not "actually making it legal," and one public park is not "parks."
You have to repent...admit that you have committed the sin of lying and commit not to do it again...and ask forgiveness from your god for your sin or there is no way you'll be allowed on board the Rapture Express with this stain on your soul. You can't be forgiven for a sin unless you admit it and then stop doing it.
Yeah, there was a post about this on RR. I have no idea what happened to it, though. Of course they thought it was a 'sign of the end times' that homosexuals would legally be allowed to cruise and have sex in a park at night. And it was only a certain section of the park. It's not like they would be having sex out in the middle of a sunny field alongside children and puppies playing or something...
Why do people keep saying citation needed when several posts to this thread have clearly provided the links? Does anyone read other quotes before they post?
I know, Amanda's Mom does make a statement that seems like total fundyism, but for once, someone on Rapture Ready actually got it right.
It's true people, Amsterdam has made gay sex legal in public parks. What's funny, is they outlawed having your dog off the leash in the same bill. Go fig.
Amanda's mom hasn't got it going on.
The Netherlands is one of the world's most liberal countries, AM, so suck it up. Not everything can be as strait-laced as teh Babble Belt.
Question: are straights allowed to use these special areas too? It would seem strange not to allow all orientations the same privileges. One imagines it would be quite an interesting end to a summer picnic. ;D
In fact, the closest I got is that in Vondelnpark in Amsterdam may not fine people who have sex there(gay or not)if:
a)they don't leave a trace of their activity.
b)they do it at nighttime and out of the general sight.
c)not in areas where children may be roaming.
Nothing of legalising sex in public, gay or not.
@#471276
Well, everything not in your own home is basicly in public :)
so Amanda's mom got that part somewhat right.
But technically it will remain illegal in the Vondelpark, 'our' police force will just not enforce this law as long as everybody 'behaves' themselves, it's a liberal, tolerant, Dutch way to solve/ignore these kind of non-issues.
(it's how we handled softdrugs, abortion and euthenasia to the satisfaction of the majority of our population in the past (which leads other less enlightened soles to declare that Amsterdam is a modern day Sodom and Gommora.....
and the tourists keep pouring in ... go figure ;) ) )
@#471211
euh, designating areas where gay people can show affection ... ???
hmm, we had a 'government' once that designated areas for 'special people', we didn't took too kindly to that :( (think WWII)
It's perfectly legal for gay people to hold hands and/or kiss in public here ... why shouldn't it be ?
Ofcourse there will always be fundies who will try to spoil all the fun ... in the case of Amsterdam some muslim youth who just don't seem to grasp the way things imho should work, our native fundies are much better trained, although, since they are part of the government with a mini-party, they tend to get a bit full of themselves lately ... :(
I doubt if there’s a public park in the world that has not been the setting of sexual escapades, but I don’t think anyone, gay or straight, is calling for such activities to be officially and legally endorsed. After all, wouldn’t that kill the thrill of doing something “naughty” and just defeat the purpose?
STFU you ignorant, highly misinformed cow.
And worse, you have spawned. I hope your daughter managed to skip the stupid gene.
Amsterdam has made gay sex legal in public parks. What's funny, is they outlawed having your dog off the leash in the same bill.
Of course. Who wants to lie naked in dog poop?
As pointed out this one is actually half true: in one Park in the city of Amsterdam policy makers have decided people having sex at night in one particular park (a place quite popular amongst gay men) will not be persecuted. Provided no children are near and condoms etcetera are cleaned up afterwards.
Technically it's not 'legal'; they just wont go after you; it's tolerated.
To me this doesn't seem like fundiism - more like an exaggeration (or being misinformed by somebody else). Something that can happen to the best of us.
>> Of course. Who wants to lie naked in dog poop?
Or ... have your toddler roll in it during that nice picknick by the music stand ....
So, though it may sound weird, there is logic behind it.
(Spock would no doubt agree :D )
"It's about my hometown Amsterdam (the Netherlands), a poll has shown that some 70% of the population has no problem with 'cruising' in the 'Vondelpark' (as long as they keep it out of sight). "
Shouldn't it be called fondle-park?
Well.... at least you got the pronounciation right :)
But I'll call city hall first thing tomorrow, make them put up some nice signs...
At least it's way better then 'I [red]Am[/red]sterdam' :D
It always depresses me so badly when people have 'xxx's mother' as a screen name.
... Says 'Maester Seymour's Mother', but it's a reference (to a rather depressing effect of that sort of thing, actually...), not a serious screen name.
I heard about this one the other day, freaky dutch weirdos.
Although I can't believe the amount of respondents on this page to have accused Amanda's mum of lying, or asked for citations, when such citations were given on the first page.
>freaky dutch weirdos
Apart from the fact that a 'freaky weirdo' is a pleonasm...
not judgemental much ?
(hmm, maybe the 'Dutch' negates either 'freaky' or 'weirdo' in a kind of "minus times minus is plus" way, and you were trying to be positive ? ..... nah, can't be :D )
But you do have a point that a lot of posters don't seem to read the other responses and go with their gut feeling, pitty, that ...... :s
Bullshit
How many said that before me? (Checking,,,)
Just Me? It's implied most the time though
Actually, its one country, in one park, and its not singling out homosexuals. Everyone would be allowed to have sex in the park.
"Countries are actually making it legal to have homosexual sex in public parks."
Well, that should please one of your own then:

--EDIT--
Clicking on the quote link, it says 'No Thread specified'. Methinks because Buzzardnuts/Mr.(Wo)Mannn didn't want their precious bullshit circlejerk to be called out on such. I wonder why...?
...oh yes, that's right. Because there's no cited facts to back up said bullshit specified by Amanda's mom.
That's Ruptured Retards all over: bullshit arists with an unjustifiable bullshit religion based on a bullshit book, who spread unjustified right-wing bullshit. But then, the right wing as a whole can never justify their existence.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
