    UN stoning call: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/sep/21/un-stoning-iran-boycott
    The Guardian
    Tuesday 21 September 2010

    We are writing to ask that the UN general assembly condemn stoning as a crime against humanity and issue an emergency resolution calling for an end to the medieval and barbaric punishment as well as the immediate release of and others sentenced to death by stoning.

    We also ask that not be allowed to address the general assembly and that his government be boycotted.

    A government that still stones people to death in the 21st century must have no place in the United Nations or any other international institution or body.

    Hello everyone I am ogmios, I am very pleased to meet all of you fine people in this forum. I am new in here so I will not speak out the truth just as yet:) But I would like to say that we are of the same species and technically speaking we should all be thinking as one big mind to truly dive into the depth of the true reality of things.

    Mankind is haste in his decisions, that is why most of the time he feels sorry that he has done something which he should not have done but has to then bear the consequences.

    I would like to say to mankind that if he has not done something wrong in his life, then he has no authority to make judgement onto others, for this is indeed despicable that man think he is perfect and has not sinned, and then he can enforce punishment onto others.

    Correct me if I am wrong as I am a polite chap.

    Ogmios was a Gallic deity, who Lucian records was depicted as a bald old man with a bow and club leading an apparently happy band of men with chains attached to their ears from his tongue. This is thought by some scholars to be a metaphor for eloquence, possibly related to bardic practices. (wiki)
