> Singapore just repealed buttsex law because of increased pressure from citizens.

Well we should consider welcoming them to the 21st century then for doing the bare minimum at a snail's pace.

> Even in a dictatorship/monarchy, citizens can change things if they are really motivated. Ever heard of the French Revolution.

The French Revolution involved purging society of royalty and those supporting it. Singapore isn't going to do that anytime soon.

Absurdity? You literally implied that Singapore should just brutally slaughter everyone in government.

I said that Singapore was behind a good portion of the world on the issue of making same-sex sexual activity legal, after you tried to use it as example of Singapore's system working effectively.

i literally imply nothing of that sort.

If u can read and comprehend at elementary level, i'm ridiculing RB for not having the balls to debate in a topic he apparently strongly believes in.

But as usual, redditors read and imagine whatever the heck they want.
