So if I dump the oil from my car into my neighbors yard that is natural?  Gaping wounds in the Earth from strip mining, animal extinctions, etc?  All natural events.

According to what I believe of "natural", yep.

that comment would have went down as the most comical of the debate

Yes.  Cheney's daughter has seemed to get more publicity than the NJ governor. Hmmmm.

ROFL welcome to the 10th century.

One hint, JB: it's not because you have a very limited knowledge about a topic that it is false...
Do you still believe that mice are generated by old sweaty shirts?

I guess that creationism was so much easier to learn and understand...

Thanks for the laugh

Wow rpm, I know you have me struggling in the iron grip of reason.

Why would a Heterosexual regard Homosexuality in others as anything other than a blessing?

It makes for bettar lesbian porn, cuts down on the odds when it comes to aquiring a mate.

By human nature alone Heteros should be promoting Homosexuality, unless they have another hidden agenda.

[Holden McGroin]

Close Torque, hetero males should be promoting bisexuality in women, not homosexuality.  Female (exclusive) homosexuality reduces the odds of a menage a trois.  

Promoting homosexuality in other males to better the odds of getting a bi-sexual pair of babes however would be the correct strategy.

I read somewhere that the chances of a given child being a homosexual increases with the number of children you have

Number of male children actually.

Homosexuals aren't against your religion, your religion is against homosexuality.

This was in my e-mail this evening. It's certainly a different approach to the issue, and it's funny besides.

_____________________________ _______________________

During the Presidential Debate on Wednesday evening, the question was asked of the candidates, "Do you believe homosexuality is a choice?"

Bush responded with, "I just don't know."

Kerry answered with, 'I think if you talk to anybody, it's not choice.  I've met people who struggled with this for years, people who were in a marriage because they were living a sort of convention, and they struggled with it.

And I've met wives who are supportive of their husbands or vice versa when they finally sort of broke out and allowed themselves to live who they were, who they felt God had made them."  

Bush's answer seemed honest. Maybe Kerry's was honest too. However, if you accept that homosexuality is not a choice, but biological, then you must face the reality of what that implies.

Can anyone say with confidence that homosexuality is natural? I can't imagine that as being normal to nature as the driving instinct of the natural world is to reproduce. Therefore, if homosexuality is not normal within nature, it must be defined as a defect, probably genetic in origin.

Is this not a conclusion based upon solid reasoning?

Now, the medical community has classified many genetic defects as diseases. Could being gay be a disease, and if so, could medicine not develop treatments? Perhaps genetic engineering could someday provide a "cure"?

Does this mean that gay Americans should be classified as being disabled? Maybe, but I'll be damned if we're going give them handicapped parking permits!

Before you dismiss my thoughts due to your own personal prejudices, stop and think about this: If being a homosexual was classified as a disablement, then would gays find any protection under the American's With Disabilities Act? This law makes discrimination based upon a disability a crime.

As rediculous as this may appear on the surface, it may be worth investigating.

You are dead on target. I have had this discussion before with many in the medical and clergy fields, and it always end up here.

 IF not a choice, must be birth defict.
Good on you.
