what do you think they are fearful of ? getting a gentle pat in the back ? Or being immediately arrested and being put into detention camps with a min of 2 yrs - 20 yrs with no hopes of coming out or a fair trial because judiciary is just as corrupt? If you really want to get to know the world better, look into “security acts”, “prevention of terrorism” and “prevention of crimes” in all countries from 1st world to 3rd world, not just gay rights in Uganda. And look into all those who have been harassed, charged, convicted, imprisoned for saying something that did not please their gov'ts.

Do you think by keeping your head down and going along you are safe from a regime that would put you in jail for 20 years just for having an opinion? A regime like that would do anything to maintain power, even arbitrarily, and you know why they get away with it? Beacuse when they start threatening people, the people back down and go along with it. Pretty soon you can’t dissent, then you can’t listen to certain podcasts or access certain websites, then your bank account is frozen, etc. How does that state of affairs come to pass? By the compliance of the people. Those who hide are throwing those who stand up under the bus. They are playing a short-sighted game of going along, hoping no one comes for them. We’re not there yet, but we surely will be if everyone stays in hiding.

lol Chris. you really don't know the world do you? Ignorance is always bliss. Good luck with your ideal opinion. I hope you never have to experience what it feels like getting harassed non stop by the govt and cops or being put in prison.
