Like I've said before, I'm against genocide. I don't get how people compare one person being stoned to death for what they knew was a crime before they did it to the genocides of thousands of people. 

Are you taking the moral high ground because you actually believe it?

Or did you read a Wikipedia article about relative morals?

Look, stoning, the act of actually chucking heavy, solid objects into a person's face just for having sex, is downright despicable.

They are wrong. Extremists are always wrong.

Moral high ground? How am I even taking the moral high ground here? To be perfectly honest I couldn't possibly care less about what happens on the other side of the world, especially in third world countries. All I'm trying to say is countries have a right to make their own laws; and somehow that gave people the idea that I therefore think genocide is okay.

People here seem to think that the public opinion was for the genocide of Jews in Germany. Yeah people voted for the National Socialist (Nazi) party but its not like they voted for Hitler based on a platform or promise that he could eliminate Jews. 

And yeah I agree stoning to death is wrong, I'm not against the death penalty, but stoning is pretty barbaric
