Obama becomes the first president in history

[Westdene Seagull]

Leave my opinion for me to express, moron.

Nice response !

So let me ask you a direct question - given sexuality is a choice ( according to you ), when did you sit down and weigh up whether YOU wanted to be straight, gay or bi-sexual ? And how did you make the decision ?

 

[El Presidente]

Unfortunately we have to keep an eye on your 'opinion', as it has caused NSC to be closed down in the past.

Assuming you're right that babies are born without any concept of sexuality or sexual feelings how does that mean that sexuality is a choice ? I didn't get to my teens and sit down and ponder if I wanted to be straight or gay. On what evidence do you base your opinion that sexuality is a choice ? That's bonkers ! It's a choice if you act upon your sexuality but you certainly don't choose it. If it was a choice why do so many gay people hide their sexuality and think long and hard about coming out ? Surely it would be easier just to change their mind and choose to be straight ?

Gamblers and alcoholics lose their shirts, houses, families. Easier to abstain, you would think.

Every day, it's a choice I have no struggles about.
You?

More reason for you not to try telling me what my opinion is then - it's called 'trolling' and you are supposed to know better

We don't like homophobes around here. Do one you sad excuse for a human being.

Indeed, it does annoy me when they wheel out the Archbishop of Canterbury to give his opinions on political matters as if he gets to make the decisions. Let him wear his cape in his little make believe world and leave the important decisions to the politicians.

No different to wheeling out Richard f***ing Dawkins to tell us about Christians.

Bam. Take that one, Father Jack.

I'm in full support of same sex marriage simply because it's 2012 and people should be allowed to do what they want with whomever they want. If two blokes, or two women, want to give each other a wedding ring and sign a bit of paper what business is it of mine?

 

[sydney]

whatever they want...? i'll go along with that.......not defending anyone here or anything like that but primates often practice infanticide and fratricide .........they attack rival packs , kill and eat them.........so are we saying in the 21st century that because it occurs in the natural world it is normal........koala bears sit up trees eating leaves that get them off their tits , can i do that...?? i think you'll find i probably can't. species of ants can clear a forest floor the size of a footbal lpitch of living matter in a day , dismemberring it and taking it back to the colony to grow mould , can i do that...? doubt it.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Misogynistic homphobes are no loss.

You?

And once again you avoid answering the question. So you seriously think about whether you WANT to be straight, gay or bisexual every day ? You haven't answered HOW you make that decision ? If you do make that decision everyday I very much doubt you'd come up with the same answer EVERY day. Me, I don;t have to think about it because my sexuality isn't a CHOICE. It was how I was born.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Gamblers and alcoholics lose their shirts, houses, families. Easier to abstain, you would think.

Oh I see, now you're linking addiction to being gay ? Being gay is an addiction ? You must have been a laugh a minute at school debating club with logic like that !

14 Steps That Will Evolve Your Views On Gay Marriage

That is true all the way down the list - but if anything is going to make a homophobe stop and think it's probably Number 3... not that even that will probably work, mind.

 

[Simster]

I'm afraid our super sexy Father Jack Hackett lookalike has been banned, Westdene. He won't be able to reply. He won't care though, back to shagging all those Scandinavian supermodels he likes to tell porkies about.

Pure chuckles.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Oh, he's now banned - that's a pity - I was enjoying watching him make a complete tit of himself !

Exactly.

Attraction is a biological process that happens in the brain, independent of your will. You cannot force yourself to be attracted to men and you cannot force yourself to be attracted women, or both, it is decided by the way your brain works, which incidentally, is decided for you when you are developing in the womb.

To say that what you are attracted to is a choice is stone cold stupidity.

 

[Acker79]

so are we saying in the 21st century that because it occurs in the natural world it is normal.

No, what we are saying is that if it occurs in nature it can't be described as 'not natural' (and countering the follow up point that by not being natural it is a choice).
