Let the real scientist chime in here. What they are presuming that homosexuality is acquired through genetic influences, and these can be environmental (chemical, biological, viral, etc.). By this rationale gay is a disease or a syndrome akin to autism. And since we are learning to control the epigenetics of some cancers, perhaps we can cure this gay disease someday. I'm not buying this, way too many examples of people choosing alternative lifestyles based purely on emotion. But this is great, next time ask a gay friend if they acquired this maladay or if they are just posing. Now I'm happy debate science with a peer when you go find one to help you. I'll put my 3 degrees and 10 years at the Salk and another 15 in pharma/biotech up against anyone.
Bi's would be gay posers. Purely the emotional/lifestyle variety. Not the real afflicted epigenetic gay crowd. But the latter would qualify as disable and become a protected class. Interesting strategy.
I thought I ended this topic & proved my point in post #53 since it wasn't disputed. Time to put this to bed. If it were possibly I'd have it deleted.
so tell me the time and day that you decided to be a heterosexual man. since it is a decision then you should remember the exact moment you decided that you were heterosexual.
Your 1st post & this is what you bring to the table. Well I do remember genius, it was at birth. And if I wanted to go the other way I would have made that choice down the road.
Totus, in your reply to your credentials, "I slept at a Holiday Inn last night", is that acceptable. lol
so at birth, before you could talk, walk, or function on your own, you were able to stop and make a lifestyle choice of being heterosexual over homosexuality? is that what you are saying?
nice created name for this discussion... of course you don't have the balls to use your real screen name to pick a fight like this... what a joke you are...
Why must it be a fight? God forbid people have different opinions. Now totus where I don't discredit your education out your experience in the field of science. Let me ask you a question. Had science come so far that they learned everything about the human DNA? Every part it and the vast mutations that had happened over the last 2 thousand years? Now about the issue of bisexual. ..i never stated that people cant choose im saying that not all gay people are just born hetero and decided one day let me try a penis instead of a vag Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk
...^^^ lol...opinions are fine but you were asked point blank to validate your opinion and you then pointed to a supposed "gay gene"...and in a very clear and obvious attempt to support your stance you posted a link that actually did not prove anything...and now you're claiming that you really meant that gayness is not necessarily genetic and that people can in fact "choose" their sexuality...nice backtracking...well, is being gay predisposed or not?...sorry, but you can't have it both ways. ...and oh, why don't you simply answer my question?
Judging by the NEW screen name you've created & decided to hide behind, it's easy to see now why you've been so sensitive & combative during this entire debate. You took this as a personal attack against your life style & that's not what it was. It was just shared opinions. Perhaps you should have the same courage as that football player. So if ANYTHING was said that offended you or your life style (though that wasn't the intent), you have my apologies. Now you can go back to your regular screen name. Have a great day. As far as I'm concerned this topic is closed.
i believe you are mistaken. i have not been combative in any way. rather i have only asked you two questions. instead of answering the questions in my last reply you have referred to me as sensitive and combative, and said that this is a personal attack against my lifestyle. i am sorry if you think that i have come off as rude and i can assure you this is not an attack against my lifestyle. the only thing i did was ask questions, and they haven't been answered.
Al enough already you've been challenging everyone on this board for the last day or so & yes you have become argumentative, over sensitive & combative. And like I mentioned your new SN explains why you've taken the approach you have. And now we understand better. And yes you have acted & responded like this is a personal attack against your life style & believe it or not that hasn't been the intent. You've given your many opinions, we in turn have given ours. Opinions Al, that's all they've been. Now please let it go, as this has gone on long enough. And for Gods sake Al, lose this new SN it makes you look like a perverted 16 year old.
if dodging my questions by pretending i am another person in this thread is what you want to do then i will accept that as you not being able to answer the questions that i have asked.
And if keeping your juvenile SN is a way of making yourself look even more clueless than you're an ass. And again Al I did answer your ridiculous question, But judging by your not being able to understand my response tells me one of several things. #1 you're a child & you just can't understand. #2 you're just playing games & you get on this type of shit. Or #3 you just want to keep this nonsense going. But in terms that you'll better understand, you're born you grow up & you use the heart & mind that god gave you & you make your decisions. I decided to be straight. You obviously decided to be gay. Whatever makes you happy. Now if you can't follow this Al, I'm sorry for you.
no you didn't answer my question so i will ask it again. at birth, before you could talk, walk, or function on your own, you were able to stop and make a lifestyle choice of being heterosexual over homosexuality? is that what you are saying?
Okay so you're either Al or Brian & you're going to continue this obsession hiding behind this new lame & juvenile SN. Which BTW: explains a lot about you & why you're so obsessed with this topic. You seriously need to move on. You may not be able to deal with the answer I gave you but your question has been asked & answered. Deal with it.
