Keep your kids from being gay

where has that smilie gone

[Evi]

Woopsies.



There we go. What the heck happened?

I dont know

lmao, that\'s it blame Boosh, it\'s the American way!

What are we blaming Bush for again??

[Evi]

Um...for having a speech impediment?

I\'m not blaming Bush directly.  Just saying that when you vote for Bush, you\'re voting for a guy who\'s going to be listening to these religious zealots and often following their orders.  The fact that he\'s in office encourages them to take action against everything they perceive (real or imaginary) as contrary to their personal moral compass.

These people don\'t know what they\'re talking about. They\'re just kidding themselves while in turn being contradictive. They are the stereotype for which all other Christians are judged, and it makes me nauseas. They need to pull their heads from the rearside and should try and help the world, not make it worse by attacking people who are "sinning," even though these hypocrites sin every single day.

Isn\'t it awesome?

Bush\'s victory has opened up all kinds of doors for this nut jobs.

There has even been an article about the possible overturning of the Roe vs. Wade. Seriously, how can people be so stupid?

Our soldiers die each day after the "mission accomplished" and all this conservatives have to worry about is how stupid can they be?

I guess they figured Iraq was a lost cause. But they do send their Christian minions to try to convert those people over there. That should really make the Muslims happy.

Honestly, how many times have you witnesses a 7 year old kid even take note of Spongebob\'s sexuality or even wonder about it?


But I really wouldn\'t be surprised if this crap is spread through all of the churches and that cartoons suddenly becomes satan.


Christian Groups is to Republicans as Moore is to Democrats.

Except Republicans are mostly controlled, run and funded by their groups.

We just worship Moore.

Moore>Christian Groups
Moore>Bush

I agree with you on that. I understand that if it was force-fed, than it would be a bad thing.

Well that was my point, and people have a tendency to misunderstand me... for example...

Um... so you\'re saying being gay is optional?? Tell that to the gay sons of ultra conservative people.

*decides to be gay for a week because it\'s such a great lifestyle, everybody loves da gay man*

First of all, I said ACTING on it is optional. I know it\'s 3 letters long, and you probably got bored, but I said ACT. A - C - T. Unless you of course are asserting that you can find yourself having sex against your will...

Second, the human genome has been decoded. A \'gay gene\' has been searched for. There is none. All homosexuality is the result of three possibilities: 1) Choice. Plain and simple, and I know people who have done it, do it, and have thought of doing it, so save your incredulous denial. 2) Chemical/hormonal imbalances that create unnatural levels of estrogen or testosterone. Both sexes have both, it\'s very simple (and scientifically \'provable\') that such hormones can be imbalanced. There are probably other things that can be imbalanced, but those two hormones make the most sense as the main cause of this route. 3) Mental trama, usually from childhood.

In nature homosexual acts are commited nondiscriminantly because a dog, a frog, a monkey (pick your animal) will **** anything. Cannibalism, pedophilia, incest and more also occur in nature with the same regularity, so I suggest not using the animal kingdom as some sort of defense (if you were feeling so inclined).

And that is also completely an opinion.

See: the first thing I said to Sam.

I guess sexual education should be banned to since it promotes heterosexuality!

I and any responsible parent would be very happy with leaving all sexual education up to the family. The problem arises from the fact that many people are horrible parents, who will never give their kids \'the talk\', and the burden falls on the school system to explain at least the basics. Teaching children to be tolerant of lifestyles, however, is not a responsibility that the school has (or should have).

[SirMystiq]

So what is your problem

Even if it is a choice.

It\'s a choice they make. We don\'t need conservative Christian Bible thumpers to tell us what is morally correct according to what they believe to be true.

What exactly where you trying to prove anyways?

Sex is for pleasure and reproduction. Simple. If it\'s more pleasing for a man to have sex with another man then they are going to do it. It\'s nature at it\'s best. Now is it "natural" maybe maybe not. It\'s not natural because sex is supposed to be for reproduction but then again we would have never thought of having sex if it wasn\'t pleasureable.

Or something like that...

Teaching children to be tolerant of lifestyles, however, is not a responsibility that the school has (or should have).

This is an important part of school I would say. Why should they not teach these kind of things?

Of course they should only teach to be tolerant against \'lifestyles\' that does not harm others. I mean they should not teach to be tolerant to nazis and racists and other hate people etc. No one gains from hate.

Second, the human genome has been decoded. A \'gay gene\' has been searched for. There is none.

Actually, scientists have only searched through 90% of the human genome, not 100%, so there is some chance of still finding something. If they don\'t, then there is nothing left to discuss. But what they search for isn\'t exactly clear. You can\'t just point out and say, hey...there\'s a gay gene!!

Gene Linkage Studies

Dean Hamer and his colleagues had performed a common type of behavioral genetics investigation called the "linkage study." Researchers identify a behavioral trait that runs in a family, and then:

    a) look for a chromosomal variant in the genetic material of that family, and

    b) determine whether that variant is more frequent in family members who share the particular trait.

To the layman, the "correlation" of a genetic structure with a behavioral trait means that trait "is genetic"-in other words, inherited.

In fact, it means absolutely nothing of the sort, and it should be emphasized that there is virtually no human trait without innumerable such correlations.


Scientists Know the Truth about "Gay Gene" Research

But before we consider the specifics, here is what serious scientists think about recent genetics-of-behavior research. From Science, 1994:

    Time and time again, scientists have claimed that particular genes or chromosomal regions are associated with behavioral traits, only to withdraw their findings when they were not replicated. "Unfortunately," says Yale\'s [Dr. Joel] Gelernter, "it\'s hard to come up with many" findings linking specific genes to complex human behaviors that have been replicated. "...All were announced with great fanfare; all were greeted unskeptically in the popular press; all are now in disrepute."{1}

Here\'s some articles for you:

If animals can be gay in nature, and humans are more advanced, then why couldn\'t homosexuality be a normal thing? Are you just afraid of people who are different?

Anyway...I don\'t really care anymore. But nothing is for certain as of yet. I\'m sure that when computers advance a great deal [like in the next coming years], scientists will be able to scan through the human genome with great ease.

I have a headache.

That\'s because they\'re idiots that don\'t read the bible, or they read it and don\'t follow it\'s teachings...because they\'re idiots. Everyone is a sinner in the eyes of God [if you\'re a Christian, and have these beliefs], and it is wrong for someone to point out another\'s sins when everyone has their own demons to battle. People who do that crap aren\'t humbling themselves and becoming loving and tolerant and bettering themselves everyday, like you\'re supposed to as a Christian. All these people are hypocritical morons, and they need to start focusing on their own lives, or taking time to help others, not being the cause of hate and prejudice idiocy.

That or think too much into it.
