oh, this thread is still around? wow, and the calibur of posts like Darth Zannahs.

My high school handled homophobia in a very unique way. If you were particularly homophobic, insulting, intolerant, violent etc. the football team would use your rib cage as a trampoline. That's why we had such a tolerant, positive, and peaceful existance there.

That has been my point of view for most topics of this nature. Good for them.

having seen hate quite a bit, expecially on campus recently, i'm convinced that when civilized debate fails, nothing civilizes the bigot like a concussion.

Wow, what a wonderful way to educate the intolerant: with brute force and heavy doses of pain.

Now, if this were done by someone such as, oh, say, a Christian...

Personally, if anyone treated the rib cage of anyone close to me as a trampoline because he or she was "homophobic", I wouldn't hesitate to enact vengeance in a particularly vicious, feral, and overall psychotic manner.

Perhaps you would be better suited saying "nothing civilizes the intolerant like a concussion."

You have no idea how enraged I am by this. Once again, those who shriek 'tolerance' and demand an end to intolerance prove themselves as just as bad--if not worse--as those they seek to silence.

hey, if you offend me through bigotry, i'll say something to make you feel stupid. If you hit me, i'll shatter your kneecap with my shin, it's that simple.

Shatter my kneecap...with your shin?

You would undoubtedly regret this action once you had taken it.

Keep the pissing contests out of the gay threads....

Someone might get turned on.

I'm not saying that because I would defeat him, Capt.

I am saying that strictly from an anatomical standpoint.

Nicely done.

Another sloppy assumption/generalization of whobdamandog is that heterosexuals do not participate in anal sex as frequently as homosexuals do.

According to a Playboy magazine study, 45% of heterosexual men report participating in receptive anal sex.

You all are still missing the point. Whether someone is hetero/homo..anal sex is an "un-natural" sexual act. Those who engage in it, are choosing to do so, knowing that the function of the anus was not meant for reproduction.

I'm sorry fellas, but no one is born being attracted to the idea of inserting objects into the rectum of another human being. Nor do I believe that one is born wanting to put their mouth on another human beings colon/genetalia...be they male or female.

If I were to walk up to a young child and ask if they wanted to partake in these acts..how do you think they would answer? Do you truly think they would say "yes"? Have there been any studies conducted, that point to young children..expressing such strong sexual desires?

Perhaps if I were to describe to them the different types of bacteria found around the colon/genitals and in human defication, the youngsters would become even more "attracted" to engage in such acts. You think?

Lying about the nature of one's actions, does not equate to tolerance. Nor does forcing others to accept your private "un-natural" behaviors.

Really people. Use some common sense.

Walk up to a young child and ask them if they want to partake in "normal" sex acts...
The answer would still be no.
THey simply have not matured enough yet.
Although If you were too ask a mature teenager, you would probably get some yes answers.
Depending on who you ask of course.

I win, you lose, bye bye!

Your points are totally irrelevant though. Common sense is one thing. What you're doing is arguing totally useless points to the debate. And while your opinion is all yours, the telling part of your personality is in one of the last lines: Force anyone to accept private behavior. That is the very essence of your mindset.

Making progress..

So if young children aren't usually deemed to be thinking about "sex", Then wouldn't that discredit the theory of homosexuality being "genetic" a bit..and add more credo to the "environmental" one. Personally, I tend to think that genetics a part in who we are, but not as much of a part as many like to allude to.

The genetics part that you are discussing is the "turning on" of the body's facilities to produce hormones that push one through puberty and activate the sex drive.

I wouldn't recommend doing that. It's quite possible the parents would be a bit touchy.

Not necessarily - as Tpt pointed out, kids would likely not have any thoughts of 'normal' sexual acts though, even though having sex and reproducing is vital to survival of the human race.

Really, though, do you think you could make yourself - chose to - be attracted to someone you normally wouldn't? Say, someone of the same sex, were you straight? Or vice versa?

Yes, people who engage in Anal sex are choosing to do so. This, however, has nothing to do with homosexuality.

Agreed many just stick to oral and mutual masterbation etc or so I am led to believe on many of the forums out there. 🙂

I only know about two studies..which were found to be rather inconclusive in linking homosexuality to genetics.

One study that was conducted a bit back, suggested that homosexuals actually had two "X" chromosomes..as opposed to the standard male "XY" combination. I believe this kind of started the whole "genetic theory." This was fed to the public by the media for many years..and continues to be done so today, even though it has been found that many males who were "heterosexual", also were born with two X chromosomes.

The other study involved exposing male "phermones" to gay males..and observing the different chemical reactions that their brains/bodies produced after being exposed to them. This was really a silly experiment, seeing as how the participants had been practicing homosexuals for many years, and were obviously accustomed to having interactions with such phermones.

To put things in perspective..it would be like if I was to wave a pizza in front of an individual who ate pizza for 20 years. When the person responded to wanting the slice of pizza, I could then state that the endorphins released from their bodies after seeing the pizza..were the reason as to why they desired it. Silly stuff.

Anyway..there is no conclusive evidence linking homsexuality to "genetics"...and I doubt there ever will be any.
