He could have said "The Navy proves being gay is a choice" 
But I thought it was less about sex, and more about power? You're thinking of rape there. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Nope. Not a choice. Think about what you are sexually attracted to. Now ask yourself, could you CHOOSE to be that attracted to a man? Could a man's ass get your dick hard and make you want to fuck it? Personally I find that repulsive. Don't get me wrong, I can see another dude and think that he's a good looking guy, but in terms of "that dude must pull down some serious hot tail!" not in the "I want to stick my dick in his asshole". I could never CHOOSE to be sexually attracted to men. In prison, it's simply because men want to empty their balls, and there's nothing else around. I'm sure there's some domination aspect to it as well, but I wouldn't call it "choosing to be homosexual." But there are may gay men who have fathered children with women and gay women who have children through sex with men by choice, without coercion. What you said above would contradict this fact. |

wow...3 pages before getting to the pedo claim...GD is slipping So is there some logical reason why pedophilia shouldn't be included in the sexual preference debate when we are talking about genetics? I would love to hear it. I'm not talking about right or wrong, just whether someone could be born that way. After all, pedos claim they can't help it. other than it's fucking retarded....nah...carry on.

No judgement, just working through the logical conclusion of the path we are starting down as a society. |

Uh.. because we can recognize the difference between acts taken between 2 consenting adults and acts taken with minors. It's like you don't understand that we've already worked out how to make that distinction in this society with all our other kinds of interactions.

You sure about that? /When asked by Glenn Beck if people should be allowed to own semi-automatic weapons, Dr. Benjamin Carson said: "It depends on where you live. I think if you live in the midst of a lot of people, and I’m afraid that that semi-automatic weapon is going to fall into the hands of a crazy person, I would rather you not have it."
