QUOTE(MilleniumArmy)
So if you randomly select a bunch of people from random parts of the world that say that they do not like french fries (they probably really don't at the moment.) Do some sort of experiment or something with them (whether it be exposing them to more and more french fries or w/e) in the same environment and see how many of them actually begin to like french fries after a long period of time. Many of them will have their taste changed and then really do like french fries (Group A.) However, many others as well will still continue to dislike french fries (Group B.)
So the people of Group A of your experiment have changed from disliking french fries to actually liking french fries. Initially they didn't like french fries at all, because that's what their personal taste/personality was at it's current state. However, deep down inside all of those people of Group A, they did have a personality/taste in which they did actually like french fries, but the problem was that it was developed; it wasn't unleashed. However because of the experiment, or just the passing of time in their lives, their hidden personality/taste slowly began to reveal themselves.
Group B on the other hand, never had this hidden personality. Maybe a few of them needed more time, but Alot of them will never EVER like french fries for the rest of their lives.
So the point is that gayness is a personality, whether it is developed or not. To some people however, it might not be developed and is still hidden. ALOT of people on the otherhand, never had such a thing as a hidden preference over same sex people. Those people who "converted" from being straight to being gay later on in their lives probably started off with an undeveloped gay personality.
There might even be maybe a few of us here on SEN who probably have an undeveloped gay personality. We might not awaken it for another 5, 10 or 20 years. Infact it is possible that some of us will never unveal it.
But again the point is that gayness is a personality. When people "choose" to be gay, it's because they really do like people of the same gender. Nobody in their right mind would voluntarily choose to start liking people of their same gender when deep down inside they can't imagine themselves making out with them. I mean, just try it. Try liking men instead of women. You think you can do that?

God I missed having talks with MA, he just says what im thinking before I say it. Love ya for it man.
Anyway you said what I wanted 2 say, just you said it straight forward. Baseline, Gays are gay because they choose to be. Even if you THINK you're born gay, you have the choice to embrace it or extort it. It really depends on how you're brought up, I already gave a few examples(and if MA didn't step in I was gonna re-quote myself). Some people will like carots and some will like broccoli, it just works that way sometimes. Now as for matching it up with the church, they have all the right in the world to exclude people from their organization. I also wanna point out, a church isn't a person, it's a system. It doesn't have sympathy and or a conscience, it has rules that are conceived as inconclusive or as merciful justice. A church is absolute, humans as far as I know are not. If an absolute entity has a will, you really can't change it. These systems we humans create can't be controlled, no one is gonna change the church. With that being said, be gay or don't be gay you CAN choose. And though the church is against it, it's the church's choice.

Well, in that case, we need to define being gay and being homosexual as being seperate. If being homosexual is having attractions to the same sex, and being gay is choosing to stay true to yourself - then yes, being gay in this sense would be a choice.

BTW, I didn't say it was fox, as stated before, fox isn't the only media outlet. Conservatives, can't live with them... but you can sure as hell live without em'.

The warfare still wont be completely replaced by robots. Computers will still be operated by man. The warfare is still controlled through humans, just the physical part is with the robots. The minds will do the warfare. The effort to make the best, strongest, smartest, ect. robots will become the warfrare.

this is soooo stupid, a computer is just a bunch of circuitry, if it were to turn on mankind, it would have to be designed to do so. Stealth is the stupidest movie in existence. first of all, the plane wasn't gfrounded, it couldn't have been struck by lightning. If it somehow were, it wouldn't change the circuitry, it might burn out some chips, nothing more. It wouldn't turn evil, it simply wouldn't work.
And men being replaced by robots would actually be a good thing. The casualties would be dramatically reduced. And the robots would be much more effective. They wouldn't get tired or need to eat. They would just need some fresh batteries, unless they had a built in power plant. The destroyed ones could be easily recycled and made into more.

It's not PROVEN that being gay is within the genes, but it is a possibility. It may very well be both behavior and genetics as well.
