Why does love for someone have to purely be sexual?

As I stated in my OP, there's a pharmacological attraction. If I found a girl I really connected with I would probably really try hard to actively presue that unless I was already in another serious relationship..

I feel the same way, which is why I consider myself bisexual. Assuming that a deep meaningful relationship is always sexual in some way. It's bound to happen. People are simply curious. That phenomenon alone is probably enough to spark a biological change over a long period of time to cause people to become homosexual.

If the post was to me, okay, I will make my arguments, even if they're still ignorant:

1 - Either you believe cientific or religious theory, humans, and all the animals, were meant to be with the opposite gender.

2 - No matter how much years will pass, gay couples will always suffer prejudice. Just let the things be at their normal "way".

3 - I, personally, don't think a gay couple is a good thing to see.


But let me clear you one thing: I'm not homophobic. I have gay friends too, just like Carlos, and it has nothing to do with me, it's just my opinion. If they're happy like that, let them be happy. I won't interfere.

not so much that taught that its wrong just not have it shown as a lifestyle choice.children are very impressionable, if you tell a child its ok to smoke and expose them to smoking then there is a very good chance that child will become a smoker. same goes with just about anything. again using technology as an example did you know that right now cellphones are outselling land lines in mexico? i doubt its because of the convenience seeing as how much a cellphone costs in mexico is about the same as here and the amount of money someone makes is far below minimum wage. they have it because they have been told that cell phones are ok/better to have than traditional landlines. now think of that scenario but with gays. if gay couples start to out number straight couples there will be a big hit not only in the school districts but other things as well. the toy industry will be losing out on billions of dollars over the years and the makers of school supplies will also take a hit. not to mention having no kids to grow up to be the next scientists or political leaders will also be bad on a global scale. if you've never seen the movie children of men i suggest you watch it because it shows pretty much what could happen to the world if gays were to take over. this of course wont happen in our lifetime and like i said im thinking more about the future than the present.

Now I don't think you're ignorant but number 3 really isn't a reason, rather than you're uncomfortable with gays. So would that be being uncomfortable and not liking it rather than thinking it's wrong? Also number 2 is what they said about blacks, and women, and all that same logic.

@Tran: I think gays outnumbering strait people is like...really off the wall. It's MUCH easier for strait people to love members of the opposite sex, so I don't think it's going to happen. Also I agree that advertising it as a lifestyle is retarded. It's somebody's sexuality, big deal.


Also Pheal. So you don't like it? That's perfectly fine, it doesn't make it wrong though, you just don't like the idea of homosexuality. Tell me if I'm wrong. And if you think it's wrong and you're not giving reasons, no offense you probably don't have any and if you do please share them. If there are none you're ignorant. Not assuming you're any of the latter things I'm saying, just covering my bases.

like i said children are very impressionable so saying that its easier for a straight person to love a member of the opposite sex only applies right now. i also think its safe to say that even now if the gay culture and lifestyle keeps getting pushed it will be just as easy for someone to love someone of the same sex jhust as easily as it is for a dog owner to fall in love with their pet.

I already shared my reasons: I don't like the idea, that's why I think it's wrong. But if people are happy and feel fine about it, what the hell do I have to do with it? Just because I think it's wrong, I'll not write in my shirt: "**** YOU ALL, ******S". And the fact that I think it's wrong doesn't make me a homophobic at all, as I already stated in previous posts. It's MY opinion, no one have nothing to do with it, neither do I have nothing to do with their opinions and lifestyles. That's what humans call "tolerance".

So would it be more accurate to say you're against people not having children, and gays fall into this. Also just against the gay culture rather than being against homosexuality itself?

I'm stopping posting here. If I'm wrong, sorry, but it's my opinion.

Edit: Hmmm, I was talking about evolution, keeping species "alive". There's aparently no problem in homossexual parenting, but it's not enough to keep your race from extinction. But, well, thanks for the article, I'll stop posting.

I think rap is dumb. It makes everybody and even white people delve into rap culture making them steal cars and kill people. Guess I'm against blacks.

Well, there's the banana slug, which is hermaphroditic and can even self-fertilize, but I don't know if that counts as a same-gender procreation.

Besides, I suppose it depends on whether you believe evolutionary changes come randomly or whether evolution is being guided by a higher power. It could potentially just be coincidence that we even have different genders. For all I know, it could even be already explained by science. Man, I'm going to be up all night researching some of this stuff now.

EDIT: Fido, he said procreation, not just homosexual activity. =P

Well, since it is hermaphroditic, holding both genders, yeah, it can count.

Now you got me, lol. Pointing this just made me go like , and thinking about it. I think I'll research some too.


Also, damn, this is such a tough topic to come up, we can go through the night talking about this and it'll never end.
