So, what you're saying is that just because animals do it doesn't mean it isn't a choice, meaning that the point Philomedy had (i.e. that homosexuality is not a choice because a few penguins are gay) is invalid? <T
I can't that A) it took a study to prove that men and women think differently or that B) it came as such a shock to so many people...I wonder what'll happen when they figure out that women can give birth and men can't...
You are one entertaining guy, Philomedy! Philomedy aims to please.
No, I think we get what you are saying, I just dunno how it helps the arguement about homosexuality. Appreciation or degradation of "differences" is totally subjective. If you finally drive home the idea that gays "can't help it", then it'll just be considered a defect or illness by those who disagree.
Link Well, isnt this lovely? Alan Keyes, the Republican Party's whipping boy, the man Conservatives send to fight after the first 8 options have been exhausted and the battle is unwinnable, has a gay daughter. The lunatic who called out Dick Cheney's daughter f
It confounds me why creationists cannot accept that evolution, for which there is strong scientific basis, could very possibly be God's tool in the formation of man's earthly form. My thoughts exactly. <T
Or color-blindness or having six fingers on each hand instead of five? What makes one a defect and not the other? I think that you misunderstand my argument. I contend that either every trait exhibited as a minority in a population should be classified a defect, or none of them. <TABLE cellpadd
I wasn't aware that people considered left-handedness a sin. I'm not aware of any WASPy families that are ashamed for their neighbors to find out their kid is left handed. Neither you nor I had mentioned sin or religion until this point. The discussion was entirely about genetics, and a trait that is n
I think you are using your rose colored glasses if you think that a great many people wouldn't consider it a unwanted characteristic, if not a birth defect. Any one who would consider homosexuality a genetic defect would be a hypocrite if they didn't also use the term for left-handedness, or any other g
Look: Philomedy has never attacked religion. Philomedy has never done anything but let religion be. I don't see how you get "Philomedy wants this" or "Philomedy wants that" from the original post, because Philomedy would be quite content to have the church leave him alone. Also, while I'm on the subject, let me clarify that I use the term "the church" not to refer to all of the people who reconcile beliefs after making up their own m
They'll sell more of this to people giving gag-gifts *big cough* than they will to gay beer drinkers, imho... Absolutely right. Although I hear there is a gay wine from Australia that has been going strong for a good while now.
So, these gay penguins have been around eggs before, or is this the first time they've ever been around female eggs, As far as I know, they had never been around eggs, period. <TD class="mb-Body-Quote
Very good article, wins an insightful! Thanks. Classrooms are everyone's, they belong to all of us. It isn't like the "sticker on the book" folks are tramping into someon
homosexuality is the plague that needs to purge out from humanity I'd say you need to be purged from humanity, but I don't think you have any left in you. Philomedy: Hehe
They also might be monogamous, unlike many other animals who will mate with more than one other member of their species, proving that polygamy is not a choice. This justification does not work, because polygamy implies a continued relationship with all of the partner that one chooses to have. Animals wh
Link Well, strike a blow against the "homosexuality is a choice" crowd. German scientists introduced female penguins to 3 male-male penguin couples, hoping to see if the male penguins had developed homosexual relationships as a result of necessity or desire. Well, folks, the results
Link Alright. Here we go. Are you ready for this? First there was beer. Then there was non-alcoholic beer. Then there was light beer. Now there is (drumroll please) GAY BEER!!! Yes, friends, someone has finally manufactured a beer with the specific intention of mass marketing to the gay
Alright, fine. You want Creationism in schools? You want it taught alongside evolution? That's fine. I want Darwinism in church. You want to pass around little stickers beating the deceased "Evolution is a theory" horse into the ground? Fine. I want "God is a theory" stickers on the Bible. You say you simply want two different theo
Hmm...beer and elves...that can only end well...
Yeah, I don't get it. It's been giving me that message all day too.
If you consider incarcerating a violent insurgent as wrong as beheading an innocent civilian, then I guess it wouldn't be wrong. My apologies again, as I forget I am talking to those who need to be spoon-fed. I did not mean to equate civilians with those that are fighting. I did not mean civilians, I me
I believe it's JUST not right. get me? So someone punches you. You punch them back. Then you incapacitate them. Then you take pictures of the body. Then you show it to their family. Just, yes? <TD clas
Well, when people insist that the Iraqis not use violence against the insurgents, what do you expect will happen? Do you honestly think the insurgents will simply give up? I don't recall anyone saying the Iraqis shouldn't use violence. Reread the phrase. Two wrongs don't make a right. That means that wh

Guess what..... someone spits on me, and I'll punch them in the eye. Wow. Judging from your take on what the correct retaliation is, you probably don't have any problem beating me half to death for disagreeing with you, huh? <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 clas
