Random Politics & Religion #06

Strictly speaking, the later is part of the former anyhow.

At least on our little blue planet.

Not a lot of inorganic life around on Earth.

It's the how, the why, the who, chemistry is the everything of organisms if you want to break into semantics. My original point was that thoughts and behaviors and affinities become more complex when you add language. If it were simple biology, we wouldn't have aspirations and art and all the creativity that comes with higher levels of thought.

Now I know why he always has that creepy grin.

I prefer farm animals. It's all love.

Well you vape, so this...um ..admission... surprises nobody...

Brutalizing children and killing people vs. consensual sex with another adult human. Where the actual *** do you see an equivalence here?

When a Christian doesn't want to bake a gay couple a cake, it's hatred and bigotry. When a Muslim kills 49 people, it's a gun problem.

\_(ツ)_/¯

Wait are you saying an orientation towards children is a choice but towards homosexuality isn't?

I don't think that is very consistent.

People might have certain inclinations towards homosexuality if hey exist as a blank slate, but there is no doubt in my mind that the prevalence of the cultural acceptance of homosexuality has influenced more people into it.

I'm sure that has quite a few negative effects on society, probably a ton of insignificant effects, and probably a couple positives as well.

Pedophilia is definitely not a choice. The difference is that one act is between two consenting adults, the other is exploitation of a child that doesn't understand. Stop looking for double edged swords.

Disliking a group for whatever reason is a person's prerogative. Having uncontrollable hatred is another thing it's far too easy for unstable people to legally obtain the means to kill dozens of people. Whether you call that a gun problem, a mental health problem, or a cultural problem, IT'S A PROBLEM. Stop worrying about the genitalia of two consenting adults.

No, I wouldn't put it quite like that, more like the less stigma there is around it, the more open and curious people will be toward it and try it.

Christ it seems like every girl in college I know Had her very own lesbian experience. Yet most of them weren't lesbians. I've dated a few former lesbians, oddly enough more than I care to admit. It's usually the same story of I thought I was gay but it was just a phase.

FTFY.

It's called experimentation. Not everyone is absolutely sure about their sexuality. Go figure, people vary from person to person. Who'd have guessed?

And this is can absolutely be attributed to non-hetero sexualities becoming more and more acceptable. Josi had the right of it.

No, that's not what I'm saying at all. Don't be so intentionally obtuse. Also, consistent with what? That was my first post in this thread.

Whether or not pedophiles choose to be pedophiles is immaterial; they hurt people. They hurt children, no less. I feel certain we can all agree why that's an unforgivably bad thing. Who exactly is hurt when two men, two women, or whatever other combination of consenting adults decide to engage each other in romantic or sexual activity? I literally don't even understand how you can pretend that it's the same thing.

Furthermore, it's ridiculous that so much of the conversation at this point still revolves around the question of choice. Just for the record, it's not a *** choice. More importantly, it wouldn't matter if it were a choice--the objects of my attraction and recipients of my attention do not affect you, harm you, or have anything at all to do with you. I am due the same rights and respect whether I "choose" to be gay or not.

But because I'm hella tired of hearing a bunch of straight people talk out of their *** about what it's like to be gay, let me go ahead and describe for you how it goes. Imagine that your pubescent preteen self is hanging out with friends after school. You're passing around nudes of hot girls because, well, that's what you do. You look at these women, you easily recognize every attractive aspect of their faces and their bodies, but you feel nothing. Your body doesn't respond. This ***is boring as ***, can we go play N64 or something? Yup.

Do you remember when you first started to notice girls? It just kind of happened? I'm pretty sure your body didn't ask you to choose before it made you pop that awkward ***. Well, that's pretty much how it goes for everyone. Now you know.

And?

There have been studies pointing to bi-sexuality and lesbianism being an evolutionary throw-back to the communal reliance in raising and securing offspring.

The view point of the United Nations promotes the agenda of population control through homosexual propaganda to encourage it's practice. I personally do not consider this as a positive, Sodomy is not positive .

I am for strong families between a Man and a Woman and for the future of our specie not the destruction of it.

Ah, so that's what a Lordgrim post is.

Say what you will, but I'd like a piece of Russell Crowe.

Hell, who wouldn't?

You clearly haven't partaken in the right kind of sodomy then...
