I never really liked the guy, and never understood all of the "buzz" about him.
He's done. |

That scene proves tbat even supposed smart men can be full blown idiots.
On more than one occasion, he has proven that I am a lot smarter than he is. |

of course it, is a choice so is being vegan,atheist, liberal, conservative,or strait. BUT MANY folks are born stupid. it is all part of acculturation you are not even born American you have to learn how- ie see DU View Quote Add being blind, female, short, and bald to list of choices. |

Quoted:
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." View Quote 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. |

I'm sure some people are wired gay from the start but the liberal argument that it is not a choice doesn't hold up. Just look at how many gay/bi people report sexual abuse in their childhoods. This proves that environments or outside influences can turn people gay. That's still not choosing to be gay. True but it proves not everyone is born gay which the lgbt community claims. It also supports why gay couples should not be allowed to raise kids. I didn't realize how prejudiced some people on this site are. For as long as I can remember, the LGBT lobby has maintained that people were born gay. The idea was to tie homosexuality to the civil rights movement and give it legitimacy. Funny thing is that in that time we have mapped the genome. We are able to genetically screen people for a multitude of genetic abnormalities. Yet, to this day, science has not discovered a link or a common genetic characteristic that is common among self identified homosexuals. You can try to reason and rationalize why you THINK that gay people are born that way, but let's be clear the science DOES NOT support your feelings and rationalizations. So we have to ask ourselves if we, as a society, want to pretend that people don't have a choice. If so, the next logical question is where does it stop. Pedophilia?

For some, it is a choice, but not all. If sexuality is a choice, everyone here could flip back and forth.

and.... View Quote I don't know. I don't see what the big deal is. I've used the prison example more than once to show that there is an elasticity to sexuality and sexual preference.

"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.” That statement has led some to unfairly label him as tepid on the Second Amendment, Carson said on the call. "There seemed to be group of people—I don't know exactly who they are—who seize upon one part of something that I said,” Carson said on the call, which Bloomberg Politics was allowed to dial into. "Sometimes people just hear one little thing and they don't hear anything else.” Yes, Ben. We heard yet another gun-grabber say what was in his heart and then try to retract it because it might lose you some votes. You are the worst kind of lying, idiot hypocrite. |
