I know and agree that doing things the natural way is the preferable way, but there's too many kids in the world not getting the upbringing they should that you can just ignore it and hope it goes away, that you can say "tough, not my fault"... I'd like to agree with that, to a degree I do, but it will end up affecting you, through stupidity, through crime, through the culture it generates and perpetuates. Misguided, forgotten kids beget more of the same, we're already seeing the effects today and it will continue to get worse so long as no true parents put aside the semantics of their child neeeing to be so in a technical sense, in flesh and blood, and step up to the plate of just being a good parent for someone that needs it, to give the kids that are already here on this earth a good life instead of bringing more kids in and leaving the forgotten to wither.

I agree with "it's not my fault", it's not, but the buck can't be passed forever, the fact is that it's there and it's getting worse, and will continue to do so unless people start giving some real thought and action to it. Adoption's not the most popular choice for everyone, but it should be considered strongly when the parental urge descends upon you.

Interesting read, but still cannot conclude that homosexuality is determined with genes. Only one of the three studies had a 100% concordance rate. One set of identical twins in which only one of them is gay can lead to a conclusion that homosexuality is not determined with genetics. I beleive that there could be a natural predisposition, but its still not the same thing as definitive as race.

Anomaly: Thanks for that. What about the later tests though? Why are the results so different?

Bacon, thats all well and good, but youre forgetting that a lot of kids have parents who just dont take care of them. There's not a whole hell of a lot anyone can do when they have a kid with parents who treat them like shit/dont raise them right.

Hell, now that you brought this up, let me say that I saw a really disgusting thing whilest wandering the mall today.
There was this fat, disgusting woman looking through clothes on a rack outside of a store. Her kids were in a stroller next to her SCREAMING to the extent that I heard them at the opposite end and thought it was a security alarm. You could hear these kids throughout the ENTIRE MALL and this fat bitch is looking at clothes. I'll bet those kids'll grow up with their fair share of problems.

I was in the supermarket last week in the produce section and this woman was walking with her kid and the kid was like, "Mommy, can I get one of those?" and pointed at an apple. She smacked the kid on the side of the head and said (angrily), "Shut up and be happy with your Tootsie Roll! Christ!"

The mother didn't even look to see what the kid was pointing at. It wasn't a Tootsie Roll, but it was some other candy bar the kid was walking with.

You used to see a lot more of that. When I was little it was very typical to see a big black momma and sometimes a white momma beating their baby or small kid in the grocery store for, get this, crying. They would smack the kid, then threaten it when it cried about it.

There really needs to be a chart in school to show kids about when to beat children if you must do so. Something like

Doing something very wrong, or morally bad = spanking to the ASS
Being annoying = warning, and perhaps not letting them do something they want later.

There are so many parents who screw their kids up by never beating them when they are bad, but when the child is annoying. What sort of moral code does that set?

My favorite line is the straight guys who say "Yo dude, I'm totally cool with gay guys, as long as they don't hit on me." Because you know us fags just go around hitting on every living being with a dick. I have just as many male friends as I do female, thank you. All of them are ugly. Ugly, ugly people. I would never hit on them. =]

Eh who cares, a complament is a complament. I draw the line at fealing me up and sticking your dick in my body.

This thread is interesting.

SO everyone is saying that who you are attracted to is a choice? Personally I'm attracted to brunettes with brown eyes. All of the girls I have dated have fallen into this category, and I never remember making this choice. It's simply always been that way. And before that I guess I had to make the choice to even go after vagina right? Had to have my parents tell me what I wanted to stick my dick into. Or had to wait until some significant time in my life where pussy proved to me it was the sexual organ to vote on.

Oh, and wait, if a group of people felt like this wasn't working out for you could you stop nailing Karen down the street and hop into bed with Billy because it was "acceptable"? Right.

Could I possibly say anything dumber?

Another thing I find funny is how much everyone cares who another person is having sex with. Again I'll use a personal event from my life. Theres a friend of mine that I've known for years, one of the core group I hang out with, and close to two years ago it came out that he was gay. I didn't care who the guy was sleeping with before, and I didn't after. And I'm no where near arrogant enough to think "OMG just because he wants teh cock he wants MY COCK!"

It's not a choice, and I feel that everyone should be allowed to live their lives, regardless of how uncomfortable it makes little Timmy feel. (OMG Timmy MIGHT see a gay couple out somewhere and at THAT EXACT moment he may not be able to turn his neck and look the other way. HIS NECK MIGHT STOP WORKING!)

Everyone needs to realize that this world doesn't conform to everything they agree with and also that when it's all said and done the fact that they hated and wanted something to end is never going to change anything.

Focus on your own life.
