Ive heard quite a few intelligent arguements saying mental illness is a choice. That there is a point where your brain actually gives up. Now i dont believe that to be true either, but i will say there are a lot of people who choose to be miserable for a variety of different reasons. I base my beliefs on a number of different thought out reasons so actually that makes me the opposite of ignorant. Are you ignorant? Maybe you should look it up in a dictionary.   See 40 other replies

4. I want to help my friends. I am a part of their life as they are mine. I think that the direction of their life will lead them to a lot of heart ache and pain and i want to help them avoid that. It's like if your friend was dating some one that was bad for them wouldnt you say something? Or would you just let them go into that abusive relationship? you definitely wouldnt support it. 5. Its not up to me to judge any one. But there is a difference between judging and disagreeing. I do believe there is a moral foundation in the universe but its not up to me to try to convince people of what it is . If they are looking for it they will find it sooner or later. And i dont act like i have all the answers either. I leave that up to the people who repeatedly call me ignorant ha ha. And lastly its obvious their opinions dont cause me harm and vice versa i think thats why we're able to have those disscussions. We're not trying to change the other person we're just trying to help them look at life through another perspective both me and my friends. Its the same thing they ask of me as i ask of them. If in 20 years my opinions changes and im carrying a banner that says "Gay Rights Forever" Im not going to regret my opinions now because they werent out of hate, they didnt come from some one else. They are mine and i take responsibility for them. And if in 20 years their opinions change and their holding banners that say "Gay Rights Never" im not going to give them a big i told you so either. I look forward to reading your response   See 40 other replies

1. Yes people choose to be gay for a short time all over the place. especially in college. Trying to find out who they really are. There has been no evidence at all linking homosexuality to the DNA of a human so until there is my hypothesis holds more water. 2. I dont assume to know the reasons why they go in that direction and i dont think its because all of them were abused as children or anything like that. 3. If i valued some ones opinion it would have an affect on me. my opinions on the matter have changed from talking with my friends. Your right arrogant assumptions are wrong but thats not what im doing I've listened to many arguements and made the decision i believe is right. I do have a problem with your statement invovling "until you tell me different" though. That means i could change my opinion over and over again and you have to take it at face value? If i was your friend and went back and forth you would just keep agreeing with me? that doesnt make any sense.   See 40 other replies

so im ignorant for having a different view on life? that makes you a hypocrite. u except some peoples views but not others and then say that we all should respect some one view on life???? As far as the mental illness arguement im not saying mental illness is a choice but ive heard people make very intelligent arguements supporting that idea, and there are plenty of people in the world who choose to be miserable for a variety of reasons. They could find their identity in being miserable, they could be trying to find pity from others or some kind of love they dont get anywhere else. The brain is a very powerful organ.   See 40 other replies

The key word that you're missing is that I said "many" guys.
That makes it an extremely open sentence.--JC   See 40 other replies

"Homosexual behaviour has been observed in 1,500 animal species."http://www.news-medical.net/news/2006/10/23/20718.aspx"It's plain; it's simple; any wolf or bird can get it"...that's right, Wayne. However, it doesn't look like what they "get" is the same picture you're getting. The article I linked summarizes several examples, but since you like birds I think you will like the example of homosexual bird couples. If you read Norwegian you can probably access the source material at http://www.uio.no/, the Oslo University website. But they're probably all leftists with mental neuroses, so the thousands of observations of homosexual behavior are just...misunderstandings.   See 34 other replies
