I think the idea of avoiding the HIV=gay association was to make sure everyone realised they could get it too, regardless of whether or not they had sex hetero or homo.

I like the food factor idea. Do they eat Chinese? You could always take them to a Vietnamese place instead, that way you can introduce them to some milder curries the subtle way by telling them it's Chinese and then work your way up to Indian. They're probably young enough they can be fooled.

Which Muslim group does that you know of? I've mostly heard it used by scholars attempting to put it into context, not as a motto by actual Muslims.

[quote]Hopefully, it's helped show that homosexuality once equated with heterosexuality will inevitably lead to equivalency of such practices as polygamy, pedophilia and beastility. This will happen unless and until academia stops indoctrinating it, the media stops promoting it, the churches stop tolerating and protecting it by remaining silent, and politicos stop sanctioning into laws.[/quote] You haven't shown that at all. While you've made it clear you think homosexuality is bad, unn

[quote]Heterosexuality, male/female sexual conduct has an undeniable, exclusive place in nature and homosexuality is unnatural and will never be equivalent to that.[/quote] I suggest we leave it here. I've tried to demonstrate that heterosexuality isn't exclusively natural and that there's no point in knocking being unnatural, but you're obviously not interested. Thanks for your time. My advice to you would be to try and live a thoroughly natural life for one week, and then say

[quote]All human beings (with the rare exception of people with genetic deformities) are born with a reproductive system that is heterosexual by nature. We are either male or female. We have sexual feelings only becasue of chemical and other processes that are rooted in our procreative heterosexual design. Thus, a male sexual orientation toward a female or vice versa is self evidently normal and natural. By contrast, male to male or female to female sexual conduct is self evidently abnormal and

[quote]Okay. If homosexuality is equivalent to heterosexuality, then what stops pedophiles from claiming pedophilia is equivalent with homosexuality and heterosexuality?[/quote] Fundamentally it's the idea of consent. A child isn't old enough to consent (and if you want to bring up bestiality, an animal is never old enough to consent because that's a human decision). They have no legal capacity to do so in most jurisdictions until their 16th or 18th birthday. Prior to that sexual activi

[quote]Just wondering....in terms of sexual behavior, are you two saying that you think homosexuality is equivalent to heterosexuality?[/quote] Depends what you mean by equivalent, but if you mean that they're acceptable ways of expressing yourself sexually then yes, I think they are equivalent. Sure, one doesn't result in children, but hardly any heterosexual contact these days results in children, so I don't consider that a relevant objection. The key point is that b

[quote]Who's to say that 20 years from now we are not allowing these other things to be considered "alternative?"[/quote] This is the kind of argument I find most repugnant. It's the kind of thinking that goes, "This particular thing is acceptable, but maybe if we allow it then worse things will become acceptable." What? Why? And why don't you make the same argument about, say, a new anti-cancer drug? Surely if you allow that then bestiality will follow. Or if you allow a new t

[quote]I dont really see either being much different in practice, only in preaching.[/quote] US presidents are never really that different in practice, that's their secret. They don't hold much power (not in comparison to a PM in the Westminster system) so they rarely have the opportunity to wield power in a particularly novel way. So you may as well vote for someone who rocks your world or at least knows how to speak effectively. Loca: I'm not saying she's without her

As a foreigner I make absolutely no effort whatsoever to keep my opinions to myself on US politics.

You see, I'm convinced that Barack Obama should be the next president. It's not really because I'm a sucker for a pretty speech, although as a card-carrying member of the champagne socia
