On what evidence do you believe this? I read of some hints otherwise. For example, most gays are raised in households with non-gay siblings,...
I suspect we are quite close here. I do not know the exact biological basis for sexual orientation, or for propensity to become addicted to...
The water here is getting muddy. Sexual orientation is NOT an addiction, and this analogy is simply useless. If you wish to discuss addiction,...
Not analogous. The discomfort with those who refuse to accept that sexual orientation is something we're born with, is due to simple observation:...
Not all beliefs are the same, and not all are arbitrary personal idiosyncrasies. Some beliefs are simply WRONG. In this particular case, there...
I have noticed the same thing. Tolerance is not infinitely extensible, I think. Even pacifists must occasionally defend themselves, and the most...
In the words of Crosby, Stills and Nash: Don't you ever ask them why If they told you, you would die So just look at them and sigh And know they...
I'm not sure I can parse this. What do you mean? The hostile bigots are those gays face in everyday life. Parents might possibly turn gay children...
I'm referring to those who think it's a choice, of course. It is NOT a choice. This is no longer even regarded as a legitimate position. This has...
Yeah, I know. People for some reason think sexual orientation is a choice (EXCEPT for themselves, of course). And they think it's a terrible...
Hopefully, your concerns are moot most of the time. The children well discover their own intractable sexual orientations in due time, and nothing...
Again, we fail to communicate. I do not deny that training is an important component of achievement in most of these areas. You seem to be denying...
Just out of curiosity, do you feel parents have no business getting glasses for myopic children? A large and growing body of evidence tells us...
It's not quite so simple, even if many would prefer that it were. But just as tall parents tend to have taller than average children, and black...
I agree with this. When it comes to things like IQ and musical ability, parents can be powerfully influential -- they can enable to child to make...
I've had experience with both competent doctors and "feelgood" doctors. I know that for some doctors (but I suspect it's a minority), the root...
OK. I guess this answers my question quite well. I personally would regard all but religious faith as largely biological. This is not to say that...
Just out of curiosity, which of the following do you consider to be figments of the overactive imagination, or the result of incompetent...
Uh, you just finished telling me that physicians never tell fat people to lose weight because of vested interests. NOW you tell me that they...
If these lunatic parents had a lick of sense, they would BEAT THE LIVING CRAP out of any kids who "pretend to be queer". THAT sane and sensible...
I'm always amused at those whose opinions are so infallible (in their opinion) that they simply hand-wave the experts who spend their lives...
OK, so I think denying 1% of a woman's rights is too much, and you find that denying anything less than 100% of a woman's rights is too little. Be...
I don't believe anyone is doing any such thing. People enter religious reorientation programs for two reasons: because the program promises...
The article said that it takes a year before new clients start becoming profitable. I don't know why, because I'm not in that business and the...
No, you were wrong. Nobody is taking a pay cut. But some people are, as I understood it, making 60K and were unhappy because they only get a 10K...
Separate names with a comma.
