Do you apply the same rigorous standards of darwinian natural selection to all aspects of your life, or just when it suits you? Even Dawkins stated he wouldn't want to live in such a society and he's about the biggest proponent of evolution you'll find. | ||

I posed a challenge in one of my previous posts that you chose to ignore (but you answerd my other post that was RIGHT beneath that one, guess you missed it) Can you honestly say that you can "control" the kind of women (assuming youre male) youre attracted to? If so, prove it by writing down what you find LEAST attractive with a woman and then go date women like that. If attraction is a choice you should just be able to find the least attractive feat of these women the most attractive. Right? (oh and addition; these are the only women you may date from now on) Much of attraction is still a learned behavior. Assuming I am male, yes...And there are so many components to attraction that "writing down the kind of women" I am attracted to is of little use. I guarantee you that things like weight, mindset, intelligence, - play far more into what kind of woman I am attracted to than the color of her hair, skin, or eyes, or shape of her features. "If attraction is a choice you should just be able to find the least attractive feat of these women the most attractive..." If I thought about it enough, created a fetish, was exposed predominantly to something most would find unattractive from a young age, or had a particular predisposition yes...But a predisposition is not the same as being "genetically wired to hold a specific sexual preference." Your last sentence is just an attack. If I choose to date someone, no matter who it is, I choose to date them. I could go out with the fattest, most overweight man or woman on earth and regardless of whether it is right or wrong, or whether I am programmed to do so or not, it is still my choice and I have the power to refuse to do so. I just happened to think that many cases of homosexual behavior are learned behaviors clashing with biological drive. Is that necessarily the right opinion? No. But neither is the predominant viewpoint here. | ||

Maybe he has good parents. One can however choose to be homosexual. People (especially children with their fragile minds and lack of firm ideals) having their faces pressed against lots of rainbow stuff and creatures of arbitrary gender around may think "Oh, what if I am actually special? Oh, they say it's ok. Oh, they say I was born this way. I should give this a try." | ||

The idea that people have any concious control over their sexual orientation was debunked back in the 70s.

Do you apply the same rigorous standards of darwinian natural selection to all aspects of your life, or just when it suits you? Even Dawkins stated he wouldn't want to live in such a society and he's about the biggest proponent of evolution you'll find. ... I said that the primary purpose of sex is reproduction. All mammals on earth use sex as a means of reproduction. Humans are unique on this earth, but why should that change the purpose of sex? That purpose dictates the vast majority of the world's sexual preference. It might be a harsh viewpoint, but it doesn't make it any less valid. I have been saying over and over again that any biological programming or learned behavior is overshadowed by choice... | ||

If it involves making a change, it is by definition political. I mean, I agree with TL and support gay marriage, but you're inferring an objective right and wrong in a completely subjective forum, that being society. Society is what we make of it, and that includes "equality" and who deserves it. Thinking that you are definitively right is a trap both sides of the debate fall in to. Just remember that as sure as you are in your opinion, so is the other side, and as dumb and wrong as you picture them, they're seeing the exact same thing in you.

Guess it makes people feel good, fitting in, being compassionate and such. That is my major problem with this thread. Instead of just banning the assholes or warning them for knocking the thread off topic, they keep them around and tout them as some example about how ignorant everyone who disagrees with them is. | ||
