    Why are these leaders always playing on our intelligence like that.We all know that the law and the constitution of Ghana frown on armed robbery so never ever in my entire life have I heard somebody speaking publicly that he/ ...

  • Tetteh Asagba 11 years ago

    Dick sucking and pussy sucking between a man and woman are not HOMOSEXUAL ACTS. Even annal sex between a husband and wife is not homosexual.

    Sarpong just displays his IGNORANCE by rushing to bash the NDC without deep think ...

    You are a sorry soul. The constitution does not address the homosexual issue

    It is clearly stated in the Criminal Offences Act that 'anybody who has unnatural canal knowledge of another person commits a crime punishable by the laws of Ghana'.

    If carnal knowledge is 'the penetration of a woman's vagina by a man with his penis' and that is defined as natural, then any penetration of a man's penis into anything other than a woman's vagina is unnatural.

    Do you now realise how stupid you sound now if we accept your narrow interpretation? So a man who penetrates the anus of a woman too then has committed a crime.

    You don't sound intelligent at all.

  • Kwame 11 years ago

    putting a condom on your penis is also unnatural (nature as not put rubber there). Is it a crime then?

  • Ndlovu 11 years ago

    D) What about men who have anal sex with other men? Is that canal natural knowledge?

  • KOFI 11 years ago

    You are really stupid. You argue like a demented fool. You talk like an uneducated idiot.

  • Tetteh Asagba 11 years ago

    You are a basket case and do not belong on a discussion forum like this.

    No wonder you Asagba says so.
    I have heard much about the ewe men leaving their beautiful women and doing this animalistic thing.

    God damn ever doer of that.
