California Voters Approve Gay-Marriage Ban

Quote:

I was talking about "differentness." I never implied anyone is "inferior and less worthy of life."

Of course you did - you recommended that we genetically modify the human race to eradicate a certain group of people.

You are using the English language loosely. "Eradicate" a group of people is what the Nazis did to Jews and Gypsies. "Curing" homosexuals of their prediliction for same sex partners is not eradicating anyone. It is eradicating a "prediliction." If one chooses to analogize what I say to the Spanish Inquisition - not one hair was harmed on any Jews' head. They either had to leave Spanish soil, or convert to Catholicism. So Spain eradicated the prediliction to the Jewish religion, but no Jews were eradicated as humans. Big difference.

You mean like homosexuality is normal...which by definition means heterosexuality is not normal. In two oposing views, only one can be normal.

In the one the mental images just before the big bang's vinegar stroke are variations of aspects of the characteristics of the Great Goddess. In the other I cannot imagine what they might be but if they do not concern manifestations of the Great Goddess they cannot be considered on the same basis. They are polar opposites. If one is normal the other is abnormal.

It goes without saying, given the Pavlovian science of reinforcing pleasure, that repetitions cause an increasing distance between the divergence of these mental images to such an extent that it becomes impossible for a homosexual to understand heterosexual art productions. And vice versa.

The bi-sexual, or libertine, has a choice of one or other of the mental images irrespective of the mundane circumstances.

The mental image of the Great Goddess can be split into The Terrible Goddess or the Good Nurturing Mother Goddess of Christian theology. Lady MacBeth or Cordelia. Kali or the Virgin Mary.

Hence the absence of condemnation of female homosexuality.

But, like all dynamic mental processes, it is far more complex than that.

You are all forgetting the nitty gritty of the business as if it doesn't exist. That nitty gritty is a powerful conditioning agent which can start almost whimsically and grow. Encouraging it to start in those early years is grooming. The Nature argument is unanswerable but the Nurture one isn't.

That's not the Nature/Nurture argument Rex.

Did I miss something?

Please explain.

You show your bigotry every time you claim that changing fundamental facts about people wouldn't hurt them.

Tell ya what; let's do the same with Jews, to solve their problems and the world's problems in dealing with them, which I think you can agree do exist for a variety of reasons. They can still LIVE, of course; they just won't be allowed to practice the Jewish religion any more.

Problem solved! Because nothing about their individual lives really is all that important, that it would be worth preserving, right? That is what you are claiming about gays and lesbians: that their identity, who they are, isn't even worth considering preserving, because you consider it wrong.

...I would suggest that you mind your own business and let people live in whatever way makes them happy...
