Is homosexuality a choice?

Well, she is a woman.

*ducks*

Does anyone else read that as "Yes, I suck a mean cock, but prefer to be enlightened though still strangely enigmatic about the whole thing?"

FTFY.

To a point, I understand what you're saying, but studies are quite conclusive that when we put people in an MRI type setting and show them pictures of people whom they find attractive (I saw this on Discovery Health), serotonin, dopamine, and adrenaline "just to name a few" fly off the radar. And fortunately they do, otherwise, we'd probably never really pursue romance to quiet the flood of emotions the Amigdala (I butchered the spelling I know) sends off.

"Falling in Love" on the other hand, is MUCH more than simply a series of chemical releases from the brain. Love is far too complex for a series of chemicals to solely govern. I think anyone who's been there is acutely aware of this.

What are you doing this Sun-Tues? :unconvinced:

Wholly? Probably not.

I'd attribute another large chunk of it to what you've seen and experienced throughout life, something else that can't be controlled for the most part.


I'm not a huge believer in free will, at least in the traditional sense. I believe we're able to make choices, but that those choices are largely predetermined by the information we've gathered in the past (software) and by the chemicals in our brain (hardware).

Humans are nothing more that gooey computers with legs.

You wouldn't be getting much sleep. :zan:

Never mind. I thought bloke was slang for asshole in Britain. Rather it is simply the British version of dude.

I don't think it's a choice and I don't think it's an aberration or malfunction.

Depends on if you mean "aberration" in the statistical science sense of the word. in terms of demographics, it is in fact an aberration. Another often misunderstood word is "deviation" (i.e. deviant)

As a matter of statistical science, I am a deviant, so is Beck and lethsoda. But you can't use the word in the normal sense because it has become "loaded" with moralistic connotations.

Yeah, you support the healthcare bill.

Not with me. When I fuck, I'm an animal. I'm not satisfied until I pass out a sweaty mess from exhaustion.
