See I provided some stats that show that homosexual parents are significantly more unstable, and you all start on the correlation =/= causation rhetoric.
Another point is that it is completely wrong to give a group of people a larger amount of rights over other groups.
If a heterosexual couple is allowed to adopt and raise children, a Homosexual couple should be allowed as well. It's called legal egalitarianism.

Maybe you should stop dismissing everything as "rhetorics", and actually start addressing the points. There is indeed no evidence that Homosexuality is the causation of these things.

it's not rhetoric
You don't even understand what correlation =/= causation means.
Just because they are related, does not mean one causes the other.
You didn't even use the word rhetoric right.
[QUOTE=Superwafflez;24263968]The Author might be biased, but the figures from his study add up.[/QUOTE]
When a researcher is biased the results can be slanted through sample selection and figure exaggeration.
A scientifically biased study shouldn't be considered.
Your first source is invalid for sure. We already posted why. The second source I can't even find, and the third source doesn't mean shit.

I understand it, and in this case it is indeed causation. There is no other factor in play.

Whether or not a lesbian couple struggles with alcoholism is taken into account during the adoption process anyway.

Correlation DOES NOT imply causation. There aren't any factors in play? What the fuck are you talking about? Mental health, education, peers, etc.?
[QUOTE=Superwafflez;24264235]I understand it, and in this case it is indeed causation. There is no other factor in play.[/QUOTE]
It isn't causation.
Does being homosexual automatically lower your life span and make you more violent? No.
Stop talking out of your ass.
You all lack the ability to identify when someone is implying something.

Except you haven't posted a single study yet. All you've posted is an INTERPRETATION of a study, and the interpretation was done by a homophobe who has absolutely no credibility.

No, I'm implying that you're wrong when you say that there were no other factors.
Out.
At least we have a majority of users who aren't silly homophobes in here. (Google yet again suggested me to fix "Homophobes" to "Homophones")

As much as i agree with Billiam and Ohadje, what depresses me as a Texan, is that most people here all are saying stuff against comparing one person to a whole group of people, and then they see the word TEXAS and they throw all of us Texans as bigots. Nice double standards assholes. The only people who have credability are the two i mentioned since everyone else who fought against this are all HURR, TX THE HOMOPHOBE STATE, THERE ALL BIGOTS HURR.
And yet the same institutions seem to do little about sexual harassment of the students and youth by their members.
