Your arguments are based upon the idea of God, which is unprovable. And hence, all you've said as proof is irrelevant. My proof is based upon what humans feel right doing. There is no proof that what we feel right doing is not what is right.
re-phrase your last sentence... it does not make sense.

being selfish is good for one basic purpose... survival of self. adam smith proposed that if everyone does whats best for themselves the best result will come for the group as a whole. but there are situation where this logic is not true, but in most situations this principle holds. :)

You scare me. And I'm really scared by your sig. Fearing God = wisdom? Doesn't that scare you too? I'd hate to live my life scared of disappointing someone who decides what happens to me after I die. How awful it must be for you.

Yup :D Where are you?

Live your life for what we have hear, not living in fear of hope of what *might* happen later on. Enjoy what you *know* you have.

Thats what I reckon, anyway.

Yeah it does. I'll split it up for you:

"There is no proof that" "what we feel right doing" "is" "not what is right".

I.e "There is no proof that" "what we feel is right" "is" "actually not right".

I went to a christian school.

I am openly gay. I don't go around parading with a rainbow coloured flag all the time, but my mannerisms change all the time.

@ Chookyn: u are entitled to ur own opinion, but if u hurt someone in the process it defeats the purpose. Shouldn't an opinion be said for a better cause? The way you impose ur beliefs upon someone else is the same as Hitler or Stahlin manifesting upon brainwashing other ppl-- it is destructive. I think it's called hypocricy...hmmm... yes.

As for us gays :D it is in our nature to seek competion. Is that not what everyone wants?

Anyway, I am so lucky that all my friends are kewl with me being gay. Its not like they are just OK with it, they totally love it! I spend heaps of times with girls and I sleep with them and we spoon, and we kiss and do all sorts of stupid things. Even the guys are totally cool about it, I still play sports and stuff- I used to love athletics.

@ aud: I love perving on guys with my girlfriends. IT is SO much fun.

I know, isn't it?! :D Except when my girls' boyfriends ask me if I think they're hot while my girls are in their laps... then things get awkward :p

Went to an all-girls Catholic high school and had two openly gay women in the year group. I often heard about or saw experimentation in its finest glory, but I'm pretty sure that's all it was. A nearby non-denominational all-boys school had a flurry of 'coming outs' soon after school ended.

I'm waiting patiently for a 'flurry' any time now... but knowing my popularity (or lack thereof), I probably wouldn't hear about it for months :D

dus it matter really? statistics neva have the whole picture, only a minor group....even if they had 100,000 people of the target market, it still is no-where near the true figure.... u know, they could've picked a day where there were heaps of gay ppl around, or a day where there was heaps of straight ppl (no offence if i sed the wrong words there)......

neway, we got sum gay guys at our skool, but u sorta expect that from 137 guys who most have only been with guys for all their highskool years (6 years so far), but if thats wot they wanna do, thats fine......

.....as long as they help sum of us poor buggers with our style... ;) :D plzzz?

:D You could always just employ a stylist. There are some gay guys I need that really need one just as much as a straight guy.

Homosexuals are gay.
Yes. That's correct. And by inspection, heterosexuals are straight. QED. #
