Rob, I gotta say... you should never apologize for wanting to learn.

No. He should apologize for not living up to his last name. Serious Disappointment.

I think it would be infinitely funny if they tried to scientifically tried to find a cure for homosexuality and found that being a white heterosexual male was an aberration from the genetic norm and was curable. I mean, I don't understand homosexuality but I also don't understand how people can eat liver. And homosexuals who eat liver are just freaks.

But homosexuality is not a genetic illness to be cured.

Actually, something like that came up inJoe Haldeman's "The Forever War" - as culture shifted over thousands of years, homosexuality was regimented as a method of birth control, with offspring coming through in vitro fertilization. Add genetic engineering into the mix and by the end of the War, there was Man, a cloned hivemind. The veterans of the war - some having been born in the 20th century and through relativistic space travel surviving until something like the 32nd millenia - were used as a 'genetic bank' for their non-engineered DNA. The protagonist, a white heterosexual male, was called "The Old Queer" by his troops, all of whom had grown up in eras where homosexuality was the norm.

I actually read that a theory/hipothesis about how homosexuality wasn't "breed out" of the gene pool, it affirmed that women that are related to gay men usually have more kids and aparently keep the "gay gene" in humankind, makes you wonder if it isn't a "Want-to-bang-a-dude gene", I hope there is the case because I pretty sure that if it isn't... well genetic detection will make sure that homosexuality will be aborted from the future.

Ah the age old epigenetics debate.

Speaking of GATTACA, is there a gene that determines which hand you hold your tallywhacker with when you pee?

Probably the same one that causes you to be right or left handed.

You people are fail. Only one comment about my link.

You're all gays.

 

[Rob King]

I had forgotten what the link was, so I just checked it again.

Jay, you are doing nothing to help cure me of my compulsive masturbation

 

[Jay]

Just whip it out and beat it.

There's the cure.

 

[Rob King]

Oh my god! It works!

 

[Jay]

Everyone just whip it out and beat it.

Nothing matters anymore.

I feel like we should found an annual Halforums Jerk for the Cure fundraiser.

I'd bring in the most money.


fakeedit: Oh wait, it's not "Be a Jerk for the Cure"
