I wrote this out last night and then Alla froze up and I lost it. Hopefully with some more coffee I may actually do better here lol Quote:
<anti-chuckle> thats NASTY, maybe we shoudlnt go to GREAT detail upon after marriage activites that are required. We should all talk about the concept, not the activities in great detail. we should be discussing philosphy and not how people either swallow, or not. (and for christ sake, what is worng wit you people!!!!!! its icky to hear about that kind of stuff) keep it in the closet --.--
Never ever set foot into the Asylum if you cant handle this conversation. You will run away screaming and have nightmares for months. (Personally, I have a ball in there.)
Ok, down to nit picking.

homosexuality is a lifestyle. Unless you are living under some unconditional law " i.e a religion" your lifestyle is based on your different attitudes of the world..
Why is it that lifestyle is based soely on enviormental issues? I can see many "parts" of our lifestyle being influenced heavily by enviorment, but I do not see how this reflects upon us when it comes to the physical attraction to one sex or another. If this statement above were true, then there would be no gays whatsoever. It is so heavily frowned upon by the vast majority of People, that homosexuality would cease to exist. Obvioulsy it hasnt and wont so I find this point invalid for this discussion.

Your feelings and emotions are conditional.. they change multiple times within seconds every day.. If one say that they are born with a sexuality and can not change who they are.. then they are saying that they were born with set feelings and emotions that cannot be changed
Feelings and emotions can be conditional, but they do not encompass all feelings and emotions. Lust is not truely a pure emotion. It is also a physical change in your body. We have chemicals called Pheramones, that act as a conduit to find the right partner for us. When two people whos pheramones compliment each other, there can and will, be sparks. Have you ever gone out on a date with "Mr. Right" only to wonder why you dont really like him? Hes got a great job, he likes the same things you do, he's cute... but you're just not feeling that spark. It has all to do with Pheramones. Most of the time pheramones are used to attract the opposite sex. However, why is it so hard to believe there could be something chemically different with those who are attracted to the same sex?
I know a man who is gay. He knew his entire life he was gay. But he tried to ignore it and live a "normal" lifestyle. He got married, had 4 kids, then one day he couldnt stand it anymore. He confessed to his wife, and they had an amicable divorce. He even loved his wife, but he was never physically attracted to her. WHy? Because there was something inside him, he could not change no matter how hard he tried.

I never had a feeling toward something until I was aware of its existence. I never liked french fries until it became acknowledged by at least one of my 5 senses. I can't imagine anyone being born a Republican/Democrat, lazy, vegetarian, nun or any other life style and can't see how sexuality is any different.
This is true to a point as well. Of course none of us know when we are children who we will fall in love with. But when it comes time for puberty tokick in, and you start checking out other people, di any of us personally "conciously choose" that we were going to get turned on only by the opposite sex? The statement above makes it sound like we had a choice and can still choose to love the opposite of what we do. But I have a feeling not one of us (ill use girls for an example here) thought one day in 6th grade "you know Petes cute, but man isnt Suzy looking hot in that dress today. I wonder what color her panties are today?" Or vice versa. No. When we hit puberty and started noticing others in the lustful sense not one of us deliberatly chose to go one way or another. You can not conciously choose this.
If you think i am wrong then try and experiment today. Go out, take a look at the same sex (or opposite for all you gays) and try to "conciously choose" to start being attracted to them. If it doesnt work on the first person, look for another. I can gaurentee you, none of you will have luck. And why is that? Because it is not a point of choosing to be attracted to one gender or another. I truely believe we are born that way through the chemicals that make us up, especially the pheramones, which make us attracted and attractive to others, whether it be of the opposite sex or the same.
