Which is why we should encourage adoption instead of artificial insemination. Take the kids that have already been plopped out
[QUOTE=Triumph Forks;21337193]Which is why we should encourage adoption instead of artificial insemination. Take the kids that have already been plopped out[/QUOTE] Although population control shouldn't be the only reason for it.
bagminge are you a scientist
[QUOTE=Reaver1991;21337313]bagminge are you a scientist[/QUOTE] No, and I have a feeling this is gonna go towards eugenics again. By my last post, I meant more by emotional reasons, such as giving them a better life and stuff like that.
[QUOTE=BagMinge101;21337241]Although population control shouldn't be the only reason for it.[/QUOTE] I didn't mean to imply that it should. just thought I'd mention after something something overpopulation something something gay parents and i dunno
[QUOTE=Triumph Forks;21337383]I didn't mean to imply that it should. just thought I'd mention after something something overpopulation something something gay parents and i dunno[/QUOTE] I didn't think that you did believe that, just trying to add a point.
[QUOTE=BagMinge101;21337138]I never said we should be killing off people. That would be horrible. Same with forced birth control. I just thought that the evolutionary system or whatever might just be thinking it's best if we slow ourselves down, if that makes sense. also to your second point, I'm not saying evolution is turning more people gay, my point was that it has gay people as a way of keeping ourselves in check.[/QUOTE] evolution doesn't work like that. It doesn't consciously imagine future scenarios like overpopulation and prepare for them.

yeah explain the identical twins thing huh
[QUOTE=Reaver1991;21337466]yeah explain the identical twins thing huh[/QUOTE] yeah see
[QUOTE=wildwill;21336719]I was referring to sexual fetish, not consent. And yes, a dolphin can consent. If he/she didn't want it it'd bite you.[/QUOTE] I'm saying we don't have to accept those fetishes because the victim in those fetishes can't consent
[QUOTE=BagMinge101;21337404]I didn't think that you did believe that, just trying to add a point.[/QUOTE] Ahh okay, my bad :v:
[QUOTE=BagMinge101;21337442]Then explain the identical twins thing?[/QUOTE] that only implies that there is some genetic or environmental basis for homosexuality, not that the evolutionary purpose of homosexuality is to fight overpopulation
i agree wif sigma-lambda and his more likely not pseudo-sceience
[QUOTE=Sigma-Lambda;21337605]that only implies that there is some genetic or environmental basis for homosexuality, not that the evolutionary purpose of homosexuality is to fight overpopulation[/QUOTE] I thought genes had something to do with evolution? or am I mistaken?
Isn't the twins thing something to do with them basically being the same person, as well?
[QUOTE=BagMinge101;21337649]I thought genes had something to do with evolution? or am I mistaken?[/QUOTE] genes do have something to do with evolution but that doesn't mean that some correlation between twins and homosexuality proves that homosexuality is an evolutionary way of fighting overpopulation. that's a giant leap
[QUOTE=BagMinge101;21337649]I thought genes had something to do with evolution? or am I mistaken?[/QUOTE] you should probably read his post again, then think about it for a bit, and then reply
[QUOTE=Sigma-Lambda;21337713]genes do have something to do with evolution but that doesn't mean that some correlation between twins and homosexuality proves that homosexuality is an evolutionary way of fighting overpopulation. that's a giant leap[/QUOTE] Makes sense. your point I mean.
[QUOTE=BagMinge101;21337729]Makes sense.[/QUOTE] it doesn't make sense because evolution doesn't do things like plan ways to fight overpopulation. evolution doesn't "do" things on that scale Evolution is lots and lots of tiny, tiny changes accumulating over time. There are no grand evolutionary schemes. If there were not immediate benefits, immediate meaning occurring over the course of individual generations, a species' evolution would not progress in that direction
The problem is children need the caring nurturing side of a woman, and the strong authoritive side of a man, its just nature. 2 men or 2 women could (and I stress COULD there hasnt been any studies as of yet) have a negative impact on discerning roles, I am a very modern person and not to sound old fashioned but its just science, we are not made for this its our human phsyche that creates it. But I have no problem with them getting married and the like, but adopting children.. I have to say I do not think the outcome will be a good one. Only time will tell and I will happily change my mind if the children in these situations turn out ok.

Statistically, children raised by same sex couples turn out the exact same as children raised by opposite sex couples. [url]http://www.apa.org/pi/lgbt/resources/parenting.aspx[/url] [QUOTE]In summary, there is no evidence to suggest that lesbian women or gay men are unfit to be parents or that psychosocial development among children of lesbian women or gay men is compromised relative to that among offspring of heterosexual parents. Not a single study has found children of lesbian or gay parents to be disadvantaged in any significant respect relative to children of heterosexual parents. Indeed, the evidence to date suggests that home environments provided by lesbian and gay parents are as likely as those provided by heterosexual parents to support and enable children's psychosocial growth.
