Attention whoring at its finest

I didn't make the thread, take your hateful shitposting elsewhere. There's actually constructive conversation going on here.

It just doesn't make sense for it to be a choice. People take the path of least resistance and in the case of a gay person's daily life, I'm sure its an uphill battle

Ignoring my personal anecdotes, that summarizes my beliefs pretty accurately.

We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win

I think you're oversimplifying it Colesie. Who's to say what complex psychology lies behind them making that choice?

A subconscious desire to rebel against the established order or authority, a need to feel a sense of equality or power over a partner which they feel would be impossible heterosexually. To taste of the forbidden fruit. I don't know man peoples brains are pretty complicated and most people don't seem to even really know themselves.

Self-exploration is the foundation of learning and retention.

This is probably the first thing I've seen you post that I can agree with. It seems people all too readily accept information from external sources without searching for self derived truths. So much of what we believe, of what constitutes our reality, is composed of what other people have told us. It takes a lot of effort to override the identity which has been hammered into us since childhood.

Homosexuals are the Übermenschen. Fork over your women.

Homosexuality was common in ancient times and non-western cultures where there wasn't any strigma against it.

Ditto.

Homosexuality as common in ancient times and non-western cultures where there wasn't any strigma against it.

Actually it was much more common in certain cultures. The ancient greek warriors had a thing for taking young boys into their bed but only when they were young for fear of feminising them into adulthood.

It's been said of the ancient celts that the men preferred the company of other men over the women, and that a woman had to work very hard to get a man to give her his seed.

Cultural perceptions, morality etc. It's all fluid and inevitably irrelevant.

No one is forcing you to post or read.

Constructive conversation is going and you're contributing absolutely nothing to it.

Wake me up when these threads end

What if you will never wake up?
