Would you allow a pill that prevents your child from being gay?

Just like you don\'t choose to be attracted to your girlfriend/wife.

And thats genetic?

Your attracted to them because you choose to be so. You don\'t have a genetic disposition for their attraction.

C\'mon people - this world must be getting dumber by the minute.

If a girl gets drunk and kisses a girl for fun, that\'s a lifestyle choice.

i would hardly call a drunk decision a \'life style choice\'. maybe a mistake, or a drunken mistake... :rolleyes:

Not going to bother countering that because ill probably just be saying the same thing.

But we\'re dumber for believing life is more complex than a choice? please..theres so much in this world we dont understand and to say believing science (science can mostly only have theories with some evidence..not actual objective truths) and not just going to the easiest answer is dumb..then were done talking.

50% of our personality is genetic.  We don\'t just choose to be attracted someone. Its a matter of our personality choosing attributes that best suits our needs in a relationship.  Stop insulting people when you don\'t know what you are talking about.

you know, the reason people are attracted to other people is because they want to fuck them. sure you might say: ooh, she\'s just so smart, I love exchanging high minded thoughts and ideas, blah blah. but really, you just want to fuck.

don\'t feel bad though; it\'s not because you\'re a dirty pervert. it\'s because that\'s how we evolved. fucking is good for the species. and because of this, we evolved to derive pleasure from fucking. sometimes people are born slightly differently and will want to fuck people of the same sex. it doesn\'t serve the species from a reproductive point of view, but for humans, that doesn\'t really matter does it.

how many times did I just say fuck?

Thats why im glad im not a woman..would be pretty intimidating to have a bunch of people around you that want to fuck me. unless i was fat..

and 6...

I have nothing against homosexuals, i just think its a lifestyle choice.

Pretty much. I like to keep an open mind in most debates, and until proven one way or another my mind will not conform 100% to a singular POV. In this everlasting debate, I pick the side that an ignoramus (and I\'ve met a few) would call "homophobic." While there may very well be people "born" gay (which I don\'t really believe but could be true) I think it\'s mostly behavioral.

Shall I provide a little perspective?

This may be like comparing apples and oranges, but let me tell you about a woman I know named Teresa. I met her about 18 months ago at a social event and immediately found myself attracted to her. Before long, I was obsessed... driven not only by sheer lust but a desire for strong friendship. She was single, too.

The catch was that she was 33 (I was 20 at the time) so to be blunt it didn\'t work out. Over time I pondered why I liked her so much, as she wasn\'t the most attractive woman... nor the smartest, nor the most athletic.

I came from work one day and looked at my mother sitting on a recliner in the living room. She has Teresa\'s haircut, Teresa\'s demeanor, even Teresa\'s clothing. It didn\'t take long for me to realize that perhaps (as millions of men and women have discovered over millennia) that I was conditioned over my lifetime to seek a woman similar to my mom.

Laugh at me if you will; it was a behavioral instinct.

I\'d be horrified if I were a woman too, I think. Knowing what I know about men.

Eeny meeny miney mo... I\'ve decided I\'m attracted to you!

*what do we have for her, Johnny?*

If it\'s a choice, take a second to look around and choose to be attracted to each of the women around you. Even that ugly, bitchy chick you know.

Since homosexuality is a choice, also look at some guy you work with and decide to be attracted to him. Mmm, all of a sudden you want the cock don\'t you?

(I\'m still right.)

another one falls victim to the oedipus complex....

And just in case you were wondering, there have been several documented cases of homosexuals finding attributes in their same sex parent that they seek out in their partners.  Door swings both ways.

Oh and to throw another curveball into the mix.  Every recorded civilaztion has recorded homosexuality in one form or another.  This isn\'t something new.  Its not going away.  The only reason there will be an "increase" in gays is due to them being less scared of coming out of the closet. Everyone that actually is homophobic (not referring to you blade) can at least be glad we don\'t live in the ancient greek life where homosexuality was common practice during wartime.

its not that we think its wrong. Just some people think you had a choice to be with sammy while others think you guys naturally loved the cock.

I think it\'s a disease.

Phil: Oedipus Complex? Could be something like that, yes.

It\'s extremely deep if so, though. Even examining pictures of my mother when she was young, it\'s hard to be attracted to her in any way. She\'s not my type, either. I just noticed some similarities between her and my friend Teresa that sort of shocked me.

Funny how that subconscious works, eh?

I\'m taking an interesting psych class this quarter that has touched upon the subject a little.  Next quarter I\'ll be taking human sexuality which is kind of a rites of passage here at UC.  The human mind is a crazy thing.  But yeah, basically what you said is a classic case of the oedipus complex.  All you need now is a resentment towards your father.

a premature and immature statement.

you\'ve proven nothing.

[Living-In-Clip]

Nor have you.

Common sense on the other hand.

A boy is twelve years old, he finds he is attracted to other boys, even though he has never experienced any sexual contact with a male or female. Why would he? One can only think it is genetic. Yes, some people make a choice to be gay, to the fact that as a culture, we embrace it more and more, but if you look back in time, when gay people was killed on sight, I find it hard to believe anyone would of chose that lifestyle. Common sense rules, use it.
