It actually doesn't rule anything out - it suggests that a combination of genetic, pre-natal and very early post-natal factors are involved. This sums it up nicely: 'A number of studies have looked at homosexuality in twins, all with similar results. For example, in one study, if one...

It's actually '60 Minutes' - and that's a very hasty and ill-informed conclusion to make. I believe they will be dealing with the evidence that sexuality is determined in utero. Twins provide a viable study not because they rule out genetic and pre-natal causes, but because they allow...

Prison sex is not 'homosexuality' - it's called 'situational sexuality', is an adaptation to environment and is transient. Homosexuality is an enduring romantic and sexual attraction to people of the same sex. So far, you haven't delivered any evidence that a link between environmental...

It actually disproves what you're saying. Bonobo's in their natural habitat regularly engage in homosexual behaviour, and some wild ostriches are attracted only to individuals of the same sex.

I'll start putting transliterations up in the near future :). Hymn to Nemesis On the off chance that people lurk around here, I thought I'd do a little feature on a piece of Greek music from the Roman period. 'Hymn to Nemesis', or ῎Υμνος εἰς Νεμεσι (ymnos eis nemesi) was supposedly written...

It seems like I'm the only one who really posts in this thread, and if you think that's a little sad, well - just remember, I'm very enthusiastic about what I do, :p. Infinitessimal Infinitives!! Ok, so all you Ancient Greek students out there will have probably just learnt about forming...

Re: 2007 Federal Election - Coalition or Labor/Howard or Beazley? Haha, I'm well aware of that. Part of my own shallowness is that I never cease to delight in pointing it out.

Re: 2007 Federal Election - Coalition or Labor/Howard or Beazley? Bahaha, I think that shows the shallowness of Costello - he'd jump on any excuse to criticise the opposition and make specious remarks. I'm pretty embarrased for Beazley - but we all make mistakes. Unfortunately, when we make...

n00bs, :p - Retroactive denotes that past (already complete) circumstances will be affected. Retrospective denotes looking into the past.

Is this even possible? Sounds to me like an oxymoron created by competing adjectives. Unearned? Did you earn the right to fall in love and have your commited relationship legally recognised? I thought these went on list of basic unalienable and innate rights.

There is an exception to every conceivable rule; since when is anything in nature right or wrong? Homosexuality exists, we're not dealing with lofty moral excursions here. Homosexuality is the way many people express love and attraction, and limiting the diversity of relationships between...

Is anyone keen on the metaphysical poets? I love them; their cosmic irony, their oblique reasoning, their biting paradoxes and their clever speculations about existence. I was recently reminded of their work when I suggested this poem by Donne as a related text for one of my tutees: DEATH...

MGRK 1601 Modern Greek 85.0 High Distinction ANHS 1003 Foundations for Ancient History: Greece 70.0 Credit LNGS 1001 Structure of Language Result not yet available Still waiting on linguistics, and my Macquarie results don't come out untill the 18th. I'm bummed about ancient history, though -...

Of course not. Herodotus was probably a rambling village idiot (not unlike Hesiod), who went from locale to locale pestering people for gossip and (un)likely stories. The Greeks are given too much credit for institutions that are found in countless other societies - in societies that preceded...

Just to be clear - are these the cinemas in Macquarie Centre?

hey guys, since I've cordially invited myself along, what time and place would we be meeting?

ooh, can I come along? (ps: pretty avatar, Lynn).

Yeah, under special circumstances - it's often left up to the schools discretion.

I did the HSC when I was 16. Skipped year 10.

It doesn't seem like clever satire to me, just advertising which is even more mercenary and sickening than usual. But haha for getting sued for defaming the fish.
