    So you think you want a motorcycle?

    I don't think an RVF would be any better than my $2000 FZR600. eh, LAMs. For like $3000 you could buy an early CBR600F2 or later, ride it without plates on, if unlucky cop a fine or two, and you'd still be ahead. When I read you were riding to uni hungover with no sleep, my first thought was...

    Use of the word 'gay'...

    On looking up the meaning of 'false analogy', you're right it, it is so in a certain context. I apologize and retract something something. However, I'm not so certain that in the wider community, the seperation between the two contextual meanings is as absolute as you insist. I think an...

    Use of the word 'gay'...

    Ofcourse, it frequently has nothing to do with homosexuality, but individuals who choose to use it and are genuinely homophobic, are able to hide behind the acceptance created by the casual use of the word. One is an adj and the other a noun, so no you can't substitute one for the other...

    Use of the word 'gay'...

    You guys are cool and all, and the contextual use is fine, but for a substantial proportion of the community the language is overtly and deliberately used to reflect their own homophobia. When their shit gets fucked up, and they remark that the situation is 'gay', they are consciously and...

    Some are born gay, some achieve gayness, and some have gayness thrust upon them

    Sure, such biological distinctions may exist, but they do not provide clear justification for why one should be classified as disorder and not the other. The decision to classify a disorder, in this case, is based on sociological evidence, rather than biological. Which is no terrible thing.

    Some are born gay, some achieve gayness, and some have gayness thrust upon them

    As catholics will rush to tell you, you may not be able to choose your sexual preference, but you choose to act on it. You can be a pedophile and never have sex with children. In which case it is no more harmful than choosing to remain celibate in any other orientation. It would be beneficial...

    It really sounds like you did exactly that below: It's a sexual preference. It's genetic. Backpeddelin'...

    Some are born gay, some achieve gayness, and some have gayness thrust upon them

    So you'll agree that the only substantial difference between homosexuality and pedophilia is that society condemns one and accepts the other? That the classification is based on a value judgement?

    Some are born gay, some achieve gayness, and some have gayness thrust upon them

    That's the opposite of what it says in the wiki link you cited on pedophillia. "More recent prospective longitudinal research... has demonstrated that the cycle of violence theory is not an adequate explanation for why people molest children" While the role of genetics vs. environment is...

    I don't understand and am disgusted by many people's sexual preferences. I may find the idea of two men having sex revolting, but to each their own. Sexual preferences are what they are, they aren't chosen and it's not healthy to suppress them. Something being revolting isn't reason to...

    The state attempting to control and legislate in order to control people's thought is a nightmare. So long as these thoughts do not become actions, for which suitable legal response exists, there is no problem. Do you believe individuals can change and choose sexual preference? There are...

    Hoon Laws & Our opinions.

    They can't just immediately crush your car. They'll only seize your vehicle after multiple serious offenses. There's a warning system, and if you do lose you car, you had it coming and shouldn't be on the road. That said, given the value of the average car, I do think the penalty is extreme...

    Prisoners and voting...

    Viewing a video is never the same as sexually abusing children. To say so is disrespectful to the gravity of real sexual abuse. Producers should receive harsh punishments, but imprisoning people for viewing, reading, or in any way consuming any sort of media is entirely pointless and...
