Sedaka: Again, stop talking like a teacher. We are not in your classroom, I am not your student, and you cannot rap my knuckles with a ruler or keep me after school. And you're not really one to critique clarity of writing, from the poor quality of your replies.

Advice: Get over yourself; get your head deflated/examined.

But she has so much to teach you! Why do you always resort to name calling and personal attacks when you're on the back foot, or when something doesn't go you way? It is unbecoming of you. My theory is that when you know you can't win, you like to distract the other person with said attacks in the hope that they will respond in kind and forget the topic in question. That, or you hope they'll lose their cool and look like an idiot, completely discrediting them. Poor form, Rags.

I believe Sedaka is the most sane if not the only one here on this thread, it's good she is here actually, to have someone who is good at debating with Ragtime.

She has my vote as a representative. A wiser woman there never was.

to be fair......

through rounds of wearing me down... i have been reduced to having to outright discredit his logic and writing quite openly and offensively......

though his debating tactics... or lack-there-of.. are what bring that on.

it's just irksome cause i know he CAN respond congitively if he chooses to... he just thinks he's "free" of anything he doesnt see (have) an easy answer to... or doesnt have a scripture quote to spit back or just doesnt want to admit... and so he doesnt try at the harder questions.

i do apologize for offending him...... and whenever this thread is dead and ppl move on... ill have dropped my resentment

but with every thread i see this same kind of tactic... i just have lower and lower tolerance for politely dealing with this stuff.

he is a good sport and takes a lot....... prolly a lot more than any one other person on this site it seems at times (there may or may not be a reason for that)

but i can play the na-na-a-boo-boo game all day cause it's just child's play

GB, your and my avatars are like the "before" and "after" subjects of constipation, respectively. Buy some prune juice for Mr. Bakula, man! And that goes for all my fellow Aspies who suffer from IBS like I do. I can't survive without the stuff, and I don't know how I did before discovering it. Nature's cure for all constipation.

homosexuality is awesome! it's an effective form of population control. the guys help keep areas nice (ever been in a gay neighborhood? some of the best kept houses and apartments around!).

Exactly, population curbing where it is counter productive. Not so cool then.

population curbing is bad? someone better tell china!

The chinese dont tend to take pensions for as long.

so what you're saying is we should die faster....not encourage less breeding.

let the living live and let the unborn die.

I would think most lesbians want children and have them one way or another at close to the same rate as heterosexual women. Men do not have babies. So I think it might be a myth that homosexuality effects over all birthrate. And is there evidence of the rates of homosexuality changing much over time in a population pool?

How exactly does autism relate to this debate exactly? Two entirely different issues.

it's called an analogy.... im using something similar so you can (possibly) relate

however.... the relevance is that both being gay and AS are two things you dont have a choice about...

do you choose to act AS? if so quit bitching about all the things ive heard you b***h about elsewhere

And I think its a bad analogy, as I said, and Sopho has now partially admitted, some people choose to be gay, if not all. As for my "bitching", nice of you to lurk and not post.

What?
When did I admit some people choose to be gay?
You're either gay, or you're not. It's as simple as that.

Its very relevent, as you cannot prove that people who are gay are not simply making a choice. When someone does some decent research into the matter, then we shall find out, but it wont happen until someone is open minded enough to explore the issue.

I know I didn't. And tbh, why would anyone choose to be gay? Most of the gay people I know spent years pretending/trying to be straight. There's no way in hell I'd have chosen to be gay. I wish it had been a choice, but it most definately wasn't.

Trying the "I am gay so I know better than you because you are not" lark, perhaps?

I've only used that with the whole 'choice' thing. And, with that, it's true. I know whether or not I chose it. You're not gay, so you don't know that. So, at least for the choice, thing, I do know better than you. I have no way of proving I'm not lying, but I myself know.

I think some people choose to be gay, and by promoting homosexuality you will be only increasing the "gay community". Hence my arguement. Lack of promotion would not turn every gay straight, but it would have quite a measurable impact.

What you say is that by increasing the gay community, a lof of straight people will turn gay?

To a degree yes. And Bisexuals will choose to undertake a lot more homosexual relationships.

I doubt it. I'm sure it would have some affect on that in that some of them would have preferred to be in a gay relationship but felt it was easier to be in a straight relationship because of homophobia etc, but I don't think it would have that much of an effect because most people would be with the person they wanted to be with anyway. I doubt they'd suddenly turn round and decide to go after someone of the same sex now they can marry them.
