Facebook poll asks if society would be better off if a gay person is killed.
The poll also includes an image of two boys who were executed for being gay. Please click on this link and report it as offensive. Also, please email the developers of the application at "info.mypolls@gmail.com" and demand the poll be removed. Thanks for your support.

1. Wow, the fundies are REALLY getting unhinged
Sure, they were always batshit crazy, but they've really gone off the deep end now. Too much Glenn Beck I guess.

7. Like Bill Maher said :"The Left has moved to the Right, and the Right has
moved into a mental hospital".

3. Back in the Late 1980s/Early 1990s
When CNN and talk radio were giving frustrated people an outlet to speak, I used to think, "just because someone stuck a mic in front of your faces doesn't mean you have anything of value to add to the conversation."

Sometimes, you gotta admit, the internet has taken that to the nth degree.

6. That shouldn't even be allowed on FB. Yeah, I'm pro free speech, but
advocating murder crosses the line! Disgusting.

9. I refreshed the page
about 20 times and kept reporting it. Not sure if it takes more than one report.
Disgusting!

24. To harass others is against the ToS... but from what I've observed their own attitude is TS...

22. I just don't get it. My mom likes it
My mom likes it because she can sign on in the morning and get a "touch" from her daughter, grandkids, sister, etc... in a quick shot. I see the utility in that, and I suppose it's an improvement over email in that you don't feel obligated to keep the correspondence going, not to mention that people don't send you all that chain-mail crap. It's just not something I enjoy doing. Because it's public, it tends to be sweet and gooey.

18. To hell with "report poll as offensive"
report the entire application and its developer as offensive.

23. Reported as being offensive. The Bible says "Thalt shalt not kill"...
Edited on Thu Aug-13-09 11:49 AM by Deja Q
If even the Bible says that, then these Bible-bangers OUGHT TO PAY ATTENTION TO IT.

26. Wow. That just unbelievable. I'm pretty shocked.
Do they also have polls about honor killings and abortion clinic bombings?

31. But the application still exists.
Keep up the pressure on Facebook itself to yank the whole app.

34. Society would definitely be better off if some people were killed - i.e. the death penalty...
but being gay shouldn't be a factor in the decision.
