I think I'm going to be sick:

I was headed to bed, and decided I'd check the news really quick. That's when I came across this, and it's made me sick. I really hope it's a joke. A horrid, disgustingly innapropriate joke.

Student offers modest proposal
Homosexuality is a contagious malady which adversely affects our economy and endangers Americans souls.

The homosexual population in the United States drains our economy. The government requires companies to provide insurance for domestic partners and their children which forces prices to rise, which harms every American consumer.

Homosexuality also affects the souls of the ten percent of Americans who have fallen victim to the plague. The Bible clearly states that any man who lays with another man should be put to death and end up in Hell.

I have objectively examined the homosexual plague and have created a modest proposal to eradicate the epidemic.

Extraordinary members of police agencies will be employed to gather homosexuals for redistribution in "degayification" camps. These camps will provide the homosexuals with the proper tools to alleviate their symptoms.

All infected will attend rigorous religious therapy which programs their minds away from the "gay temptation." The program will also treat the physical arousal from the disease by wearing out the body in fields, performing hard labor.

I am not unrealistic with my goals and realize this treatment may not be enough for some. The remaining contaminated will be subjected to therapy where the infected males will be forced to perform involuntary intercourse on the infected females.

The camp is not a permanent settlement and those who still do not respond to treatment will be castrated.

My solution is not without reward. First, the homosexuals will save their souls from eternal damnation.

Secondly, land owners will receive compensation for land used by the degayification camps. This means the materials are produced cheaper and prices will be cheaper.

It does not benefit me. I offer it as away to solve the homosexual problem and invite others to provide better plans.

I wanna believe this is a satire (and it prob is given the allusion to Swift), and yet, I live in the South and our uni newspaper is constantly full of utter shite like this about gay people and racial minorities and women. In fact, last week, our paper ran an ad about how diversity is killing America and white people should unite to preserve our cultural identity. *shudders*

How someone can mention God and also government sponsored rape in the same document is insane.
