Surely: We are Jamming.

Actually, for all you too white bitches, it's "We be jammin'". Christ, people.

Please cease this annoyingness, Ghost. It's just dumb. I have no interest in sticking my penis anywhere.

Yes you do. Stop being a weenie.

Yeah. Plus, I've got your weenie right here.

Srsly this. Give it like 3 years and you'll be drinking beer, having sex with a woman and possibly ejaculating on their teary face (granted they are Italian).

Annoyman amirite



but seriously, it's not about you, it's just inspired by you.

I have always been flattered when I get hit on by a gay man.

That so happens to be the only way I ever get "hit on".

Your sexuality is a genetic predisposition, it takes environmental and social factors to trigger a long term preference.

While that is a possibility, the proximate and ultimate explanations for the existance of homosexuality have yet to be asserted.

How? By being a straight man flattered by being hit on by a gay?

Am I not the only one to have?

Which will almost certainly be a more long winded version of that simple statement, not saying that a fully scientific explanation isn't preferable but that simple statement coincides with twin studies, observable reactions, case studies and certain neurological stories.

Also the law of Parsimony almost guarantees my being right, unless of course Religion is right.

That's a negative, Cap.

It's not the only plausible statement that fits. I'm not saying you are wrong or that I disagree that it could be the case, I've suggested it many times before. But there simply isn't the evidence or explanatory theory to make such a claim with that level of certainty, that's all.

Why? Why are you behaving like such kids?

Strike Witch 01-20-2009 04:21 AM

Because adults can be giggly little shits too and you have not yet realized this?

Pilot 01-20-2009 08:45 AM

Because a sense of humor we have. Plus, my weenie statement wasn't even directed toward you so I would suggest not taking things so personally.

OANST 01-20-2009 09:13 AM

Pilot just loves weenies. He really, really likes them. A lot.

Pilot 01-20-2009 09:20 AM

Well YEAH, I've even been called a Big Weenie.

*cough*

Does that make me gay by the terms endeared in this thread? :D

Bullet Magnet 01-20-2009 09:26 AM

I think we'd be pissing in the ocean by that point.

Pilot 01-20-2009 12:18 PM

Like some people, the ocean likes being peed in.

Similar feelings here. Pilot, you sick bastard, I'm never sure if I should congratulate you on the new lows you have discovered or wet myself in disgust and fear.

I tried hard to think of something on topic to add but I came up empty.

Bullet Magnet 01-20-2009 12:33 PM

I'm trying to figure out how that would even work without then filing a malpractice suit against your surgeon.

Pilot 01-20-2009 01:01 PM

You're right, comment withdrawn. That was too raunchy. The thread needs to be steered away from me. That's what needs to happen.

OANST, if you choose to wet yourself, please do it on a vinyl sofa.

Religion is right in its own light; its own self-contradicting fatal flaw being that it condemns. Actually, it is usually the religious officials that condemn via perspective and interpretation in sheer contrast to the whole God loves All.

But it's just drama. Too many things out there are trying to get you to feel bad about yourself for self-serving reasons. What utter nonsense.

Which is wrong, moral subjectivism is a poor defense.

Pilot 01-20-2009 01:29 PM

What I am trying to say is that they have their ways to 'justify' themselves, just as anybody with an independent viewpoint can justify themselves. The actual 'means' may not make sense, but it does to them and anyone who believes them.

Just look... stories and so-called 'meaning' can be woven around just about anything to make it plausible. A religious advocate is something I am not; I just acknowledge that Jim-Bob and Mary-Jane (two figurative people) are going to find self justification in whatever they do whether I agree/disagree or can even make sense of their reasoning.

Is being homosexual 'justified'? Of course, we can find ways to justify ourselves but somebody against it can as well justify their viewpoint. This is the angle I approach 'religion is right in its own light.' (which by the way you took out of context in quoting me.) Some religious leaders simply justify the immorality of it because of their own interpretive viewpoint.

Bullet Magnet 01-20-2009 01:35 PM

I came by this recently.


OANST 01-20-2009 01:46 PM

That was kind of nice. I liked it.

Pilot 01-20-2009 01:56 PM

That was beautiful. Independent thinking, I love it. :)

Though I found their eyes quite disturbing....

This beats Kastere's Mario song thing as the best thing on youtube, ever.

Except certain beardy-wierdies, of course.

I'm afraid I'm turning in to a homophobe. I went in to a store yesterday to look at shirts and the shop assistant was a man in his mid-late 30's who checked every single box of stereotype fagness. When I asked his opinion of whether the shirts worked well with the pants I had previously bought, his response was "I think they're hot, but they'd be hotter on you..." I chose not to respond, thinking that he'd get the hint that I wasn't interested. One any level. Whatsoever. But he must have taken that as a signal to move on, even to the point of attempting a conversation with me whilst I was in the change room and standing on his tiptoes to peer over the door at me. (Thank goodness I was still fully dressed at that stage).

In the end, I ignored all his suggestions, bought the shirt I liked and ended up getting out of there as fast as I could with the nagging feeling like I needed a shower to wash the sleaze off. The strange thing is, I can't work out whether he's naturally like that or if he thinks it will actually help make a sale if he's sleazily complementary to the guys that come in.

Kinda old, but I felt the need to say this;
You should buy some GayAway Gum, then go back to that store. If that guy goes away, then he is gay. Or you could buy some other anti-gay stuff those hard-core God-worshipers make.

Bullet Magnet 01-27-2009 05:18 AM

I think you missed out a logical step somewhere there, skillyaslig.

stonetooth 01-27-2009 05:50 PM

okay, me and one of my friends got in a fight about this: are you born gay, or do you become gay randomly?

Nate 01-27-2009 05:56 PM

I would say that there are certain factors that you are born with that makes it more likely you will become gay. These include genetics and the level of testosterone the fetus' brain was subjected to in the womb.
Then there are other factors that come in through life. These are far too complex to even begin to give examples.


In any case, my point is that assuming things have to be either nature OR nurture is a very simplistic way of looking at the world.

Bullet Magnet 01-27-2009 05:56 PM

Unless I'm very much mistaken, newborns do not exhibit a sexual orientation. If you mean whether people's sexualities predestined (presumably genetically or otherwise congenitally), the answer is we do not know. There are lots of interesting studies and correlations, but a incisive theory to unify and explain the evidence is not yet available.

I wouldn't use the term randomly. It's not like a disease or a mental disorder. It's not caught.

stonetooth 01-27-2009 06:36 PM

well by randomly I mean the sudden urge to be with other men. But I think that you are as bullet magnet said "predestined", or that the feeling slowly rises to the surface, which is in some way kind of the same as having the sudden urge, i guess. And I don't beleive in bi sexuals either >_< I mean it's cool in all but it just confuses me how you can't choose one sex over the other.

Nate 01-27-2009 06:51 PM

Well, I find myself capable of being attracted to both blondes and brunettes.

There is very little in human nature that is binary or discrete. Why should sexuality not exist on a continuum?


Translation: very little in human nature is black and white. Why should sexuality not involve greys? And many other colours as well.
