I am losing "followers" and "friends." Wonder what you thing? "Even" Objectivists disagree, here.

    I don't hate anyone but I do pity someone who gets so offended when hearing someone with opposing views. Relax and just take part in the conversation. Watch the blood pressure. You have enough problems as it is.

    I thought this was a site where people could talk openly. As usual there is someone who lowers the bar and starts name calling. I'm not surprised. The bible doesn't mention the pituitary but medical journals do. Maybe your mind is too small or completely closed but you could try reading something other than the ny times.

    We all have choices in life. If you choose homosexuality so be it. I choose not to be homosexual. It's just like love, It's a choice or conscious decision. Some are forced into that lifestyle by predators, some need to get their pituitary checked, and others choose. It May feel like a natural choice but we are what we are. Drop your pants and take a look, that's what you are. The rest is a choice.

      Aliona, it might further your cause if you supplied some links or primary sources to support your assertions.
      The gays I've met seem, to a person, to never describe their sexual preferences as any kind of 'choice,' so the repeated use of that term sounds more and more like a projection of an opinion than rooted in fact.

      Maybe the pituitary is 'root cause.' Does that support the idea of homosexuality as a 'choice'?

      I tend to doubt that, any more than you could say your chromosomes led you to your 'choice' of eye or skin color.

      And "I choose not to be homosexual"??? Can you point to the date or time when you 'made that choice,' and what decision-making PROCESS led you to that 'decision'?

      You're trying to apply logic to a situation which is not, per se, 'logical.' (imnsho)

        She wrote this in an earlier post, "Yes I did decide not to be gay when my best friend, when we were teens, experimented with the idea."

        As expected, her statement is incorrect. She *realized* that she wasn't gay. Every human does that, they eventually come to understand what their sexual orientation is.

          and some people grow up 'undecided' until they reach or pass puberty and try out both roads and 'make their decision.'

          But I do have a suspicion that the number of folks who do that is NOT a large percentage of gays and the majority of gays had The Realization of their sexual preference either earlier than that, or came to it as a 'realization,' not a 'choice.'

          Maybe it's a semantic issue?

      You, madam, are an abject moron.

      Since you brought it up I am intimately familiar with my cock and I cherish every moment that I spend with it.

      I don't have any idea where you got the idea that the pituitary is in any way associated with being gay. Maybe you imagined that it's in the bible just like you imagined that the bible is the word of a supernatural bogey man.

      Usually we have pleasant objectivist conversations here. I hope that the moonbat gay haters and theist nutjobs will leave us alone in the future.
