[QUOTE=Nerts;29477786]Where the hell did the "bisexuals just want to fuck anyone." stereotype come from anyway? I'd say a higher proportion of straight people I know are sluts than bisexuals.[/QUOTE]They figure double the amount of people one is potentially attracted to means double the fucking.

[QUOTE=Sanius;29487116]Nobody is born with an accent.[/QUOTE]
We learn them really early though (sometimes within two days of birth)

A theory is that we learn them in the womb so it's actually possible that we [i]are[/i] born with one.

I agree. But he's right on many things.

I find this hard to believe unless there are cases of adopted children having the accents of their biological parents. I don't think it's impossible but it just seems ridiculous.

Well if music affects a fetus' development I don't see how different vocal tones couldn't as well

Difference being that children aren't born with xylophone accents.

I'm quite sure the human brain differentiates speech, music, and other noises

Yeah, because the human brain is useless when unborn, [b]right?[/b]

It can be useless afterwards too.
Gee, I wonder who's alt you are.

Huh?

Yeah I know. I just don't see what a fetus listening to music in the womb has to do with being born with an accent. I'm not shitting on you, I'm just confused.
[QUOTE=Sanius;29490319]Huh?[/QUOTE]
When you hear someone talk, your brain interprets it as a person. Same applies while in the womb (Except there's less to hear for obvious reasons)
[QUOTE=Nerts;29490313]Gee, I wonder who's alt you are.[/QUOTE]
3 guesses.

Are you arguing that children [b]are[/b] born with xylophone accents? Otherwise, I have no idea why you got so riled up by what I said.

I could swear a higher percentage of attractive guys are straight than unattractive ones. :v:

No, I'm saying people can be born having learned an accent. So when they're born and start talking they'll be able to speak using it.

So a baby born in Oklahoma and immediately adopted out to a couple in China will speak with a southern accent?
[QUOTE=Sanius;29490393]So a baby born in Oklahoma and immediately adopted out to a couple in China will speak with a southern accent?[/QUOTE]
Not likely. They have another year or so before they make any sort of noise that resembles speech.

Nah you just missed something somewhere
The study hypothesizes that we are already learning an accent in the womb by hearing people speak, and I said that it makes sense because music also affects development (so we can obviously hear shit that's going on)

It will cry like babies born in Oklahoma cry for a while but over time it will learn a Chinese accent because it will not be exposed to the Oklahoma one anymore

Oh okay.

My question flew right over your head. I wasn't asking if they would magically learn how to speak after being adopted by a Chinese couple.

No, you misunderstood my reply. The fact they learned an american accent doesn't have any effect because by the time the baby is ready to use it, they've learned a chinese one way better.

Oh okay. I tend to misinterpret the posts of people who sign up basically just to be offensive.

It's not like that at all though, is it... The political leader names are nice names to have.
I'm going to make a Donald Trump account
