All that and a kiwi accent. rawr.

Sweet Sweet Catz... I am an American from Huntington Beach, California. Was a surfer and all that... my daughters will have Kiwi accents though. :)
 
why there's the crux. Some is not all, n'est ce pas?

Actually, I would say that ALL people that dislike gays dislike them for reasons of fear or lack of understanding...
 
Doesn't make it not one either...and since there is no genetic link......

1. Genetic traits are not the only unchosen traits. In fact, most traits and qualities are unchosen.
2. No other sexuality is a choice. Therefore, singling out homosexuality is nonsensical. The burden of proof is on you.

Perhaps I would agree, but what of those that disagree with homosexuality without need of "disliking" gays?

Please do explain the unalterable and un-choosable aspect of "traits".

I didn't say anything about unalterable, so I don't why you put that in there. I also didn't say anything about un-choosable, so I don't know why you put that in there either.

I said most traits are not chosen, which they aren't.

I dunno. Many traits, such as preferences - aren't willfully chosen. I like the color green. I dunno why, I just do. Not sure if I can change that.

I guess one of my traits is that I like boobs. Very hard to change that.

you said nothing about un-choosable and yet you say that most aspects of traits are not chosen......

Ok, can you live without green or implants?
 
I'm not sure how this is relevant, but yes. Most anybody can live without anything aside from food and water.

So you have control over these....preferences?
 
I do think some are abnormal, others I do not. I mean "abnormal" may not have been the best choice in word.
 
I can't choose to forgo green and suddenly like yellow or orange. Same with certain foods I like to eat.

Have you tried praying to Jesus? If it can cure sexual perversion then I'm sure it can help you with your disgusting relation with secondary colors.

No, I didn't say most aspects of traits are not chosen either. I said, most traits are not chosen. These are two completely separate ideas.

Things I did not say: 1) Traits are un-choosable. 2) Aspects of traits are un-choosable.

Things I did say: Most traits are unchosen. (That most traits are unchosen does not mean that said traits are unchangeable).

Well, purple scares the **** outta me and orange is ugly, so I guess I'm only a third of the way there.

So, you just can't leave the house without wearing something green and your a 500 pounder because you can't stop eating whatever they hell it is you like?

EXACTLY, everyone knows homosexuals can't go more than 5 minutes without having rough bareback sex, everything they do is affected by their sexual preference.

Ok, which traits are not chosen and which are? What is the physical limitation of traits? Where do traits reside? Are they physical facts or philosophical constructs? Are traits uncontrollable drivers of day to day human existence? What is the overall impact of said traits?

I can. Just like straights can choose to be celibate, and homos can choose not to have gay sex for as long as they choose not to have sex.

Then....we aren't dogs with no control over our sexual impulses?

edit: please don't say homo.....

Eh, I guess people differ with regard to their sexual impulses. Some men and women feel they have to get some, right now, the moment they walk through the door. But generally I'd say the answer to your question is Yes.

Sexual impulses aren't the same thing as sexual identity/orientation though.
