Thrown out of an FBO...

How about rational thought?
How about not using the false promise of an afterlife with 72 virgins to
convince otherwise good men to murder innocents?

So Matt, why does god hate amputees?

Always nice to see people who are against something, but don't propose a
more viable alternative. Sort of like the Democrates.

If we evolved from random combination of elements, why haven't we evolved
to grow back amputated limbs? Any process that can create intelligent
life from basic elements randomly scattered throughout the universe due to
a big bang should be able to grow replacement limbs without even breaking
a sweat. Right?

To which ancestors are you referring? The Greeks, perhaps?

And as to what "God" dictates, at least one fairly influential Holy Book
declares three-score-and-ten to be the "normal" human life span (that's
"70"
to you).

No **** Sherlock. You forget. _I'm_ the one who can tell an entrance from an
exit!

I fully intend to live beyond that landmark, and I don't give a
**** what God has to say about it. So there.

You sure you don't want to add a 'ner ni ner ni ner nah' to the end of that
post? Poke your tongue out at me perhaps?

Good luck to you. Just be careful what and who you're doing when you're
doing all that rogering, or you won't get anywhere near 70. I may be wrong,
but I'd seriously doubt the percentage of homosexuals over 70 is anywhere
near the percentage of homosexuals under 50.

Now, perhaps you can help me with an anatomy question that's been bugging me
for years! Where exactly are the vocal chords located? At school, I was
taught they were in the throat, however, listening to the way homosexual men
speak, I'd swear they must be located elsewhere! All jokes and debates aside
though, why is it that homosexual men (stereotypically or not) speak in the
manner they do? You know what I mean?

Look, I don't really care what you do in your bedroom, and whether I agree
with that way of life or not is of no consequence to anything, but what
really annoys me is that the homosexual community feels the need to parade
their activities in public by way of Gay Madi Gras and the like. How
ridiculous would it be to have a 'Heterosexual Madi Gras'. TV shows like
"The Amazing Race" and "Survivor" etc, all have to have the 'token gay'
person. Why? Were they more eligible or qualified to be on the show than
anyone who wasn't gay? Probably not. Why not a 'token person with
depression'? I'd suggest the percentage of people with depression in the
world would be larger than the percentage of gay people in the world.

Why do homosexual men feel compelled to 'do' each other in public toilets
along popular walking tracks? It's just not 'normal' behaviour! Apart from
being against the law! (for gay OR straight people!).
Anyway. too much bandwidth for this never ending debate. You'll continue to
live your way, and I'll continue to live my way. I'll just do my best to
keep your way and my way separate.
At least we can still share our love of flying though. Proof that there is a
God. Believe it or not.

Contrary to your argument, a moment's reflection shows that the
desirability or normalcy of a particular status has *nothing to do* with
the desirability of *everyone* having that status. You're making a
spectacularly naive and silly attempt to invoke the categorical-imperative
principle. [...]

Yet another gap in his "reasoning" is the failure to recognize that
evolution has given us a number of seemingly counter-productive attributes
that, when viewed in a broader context, turn out to indeed have a net
positive gain as far as survival of the species goes.

A well-known example is the gene that causes sickle-cell anemia. The reason
this gene has done so well under the process of evolution is that the
majority of people with the same gene wind up having a certain level of
defense against malaria. The net effect to the species is one that enhances
survival, even if in some individuals it hinders reproduction.

I think it's entirely likely something similar may be found with respect to
homosexuality. Not that failure to find such a thing would change my views
on it, but to argue that homosexuality is somehow contrary to evolution is
overly simplistic thinking at its worst. The mere fact that it exists, and
in such relative prevalence (as genetic "defects" go, it's pretty
common...and I do use that word "defect" very loosely), strongly suggests
that in the greater scheme of things, homosexuality is important for the
greater good in some way.

Nevertheless, it's my opinion that you are wasting your time trying to point
any of this out, especially here. Jay in particular has NEVER admitted to
an error, never mind has he ever changed his mind on anything important.
This is the wrong forum for this kind of debate anyway, but it's especially
pointless in the context of people who have minds so closed, they can't even
get a word in edge-wise when no one's talking.

That said, every time someone like Jay or Ron go around spouting strong
words against homosexuality, I just remember the recent study that looked at
sexual arousal (measured by penis engorgement) in human males when shown
homosexual images. The men who voiced the strongest opinions against
homosexuality showed the greatest degree of arousal. Clearly, "methinks he
doth protest too much" applies here.

Like it or not, religion runs the world. How many wars were NOT religion
based?
Homosexual people cry discrimination all the time. I can't understand this.
We have bars, and clubs where you go and have a drink with friends. Gay
people feel the need to have 'gay bars, and gay clubs'. What's wrong with
the bars and clubs that are already there, and what has a bar or club got to
do with your sexual preference?
If I'm in a bar having a beer, I'll still drink with you. I don't expect
your sexual preference to be a required part of the conversation!

Then it's probably safe to say you're not a homosexual. Or at least, if you
are, you're still in the closet.

well, for one...there aren't actually that many homosexuals out there.
Given that for straights or gays both, the bar scene is American culture's
primary meeting ground for sexual partners, it's useful to have a bar where
a homosexual can go and not waste time hitting on heterosexuals.

There are other reasons, including the fact that discrimination still exists
and so having a relative safe place to go is also useful. I think it's
silly to criticize homosexuals for seeking out specific places for
themselves. There are lots of good reasons, and many of those reasons have
to do with people being critical of homosexuals.

If you're at a bar to meet up with a sexual partner, I think that one's
sexual preference probably *would* be a required part of the conversation at
some point.

So homosexual people separate them selves from the rest of the population,
in turn, feeding the discrimination and segregation they so fiercely
protest!

And, as I've said, is fed (in a lot of cases, but not all, I grant you)by
homosexual people themselves!

and so having a relative safe place to go is also useful. I think it's
silly to criticize homosexuals for seeking out specific places for

If all homosexual people went to the 'straight' clubs and pubs, they'd still
meet each other there! Why have a separate one? You don't hear straight
people crying discrimination when we aren't allowed in a 'gay' club. Sexual
'hook-ups' are not the only reason one goes to a pub or club.

If you're at a bar to meet up with a sexual partner, I think that one's
sexual preference probably *would* be a required part of the conversation
at some point.

*If* I were at the bar or club to find a sexual partner. As I said before,
that is not the only reason to be at a club or pub.
