- Unnatural? You haven't even defined the term. Anal intercourse---is it
- natural in heterosexuals, but unnatural by definition in homosexuals?
-
- >B. We have evolved to sexually couple male/female.
-
- We have the choice of whether or not we want to reproduce.
-
- >C. The anus is not designed for sexual intercourse.
-
- How so? (Hint, I'm humoring you---this argumment has been trotted out
- many times by pinheads on alt.sex) Does sexual intercourse have only
- one purpose?

-
- Not true at all. Emphatically not true.
-
- >E. And so on ...
-
- Which means what? Other similarly nebulous ill-defined points of attack?
-
- >There, homosexuality is not rational.
-
- No, your prejudices are irrational. There's a subtle difference that
- your prejudices themselves won't let you see yet.
-
- >So what? Everything not permitted by the State is forbidden by the State?
-
- This is irrelevant to the argument.
-
- >Homosexuality is not rational. Not biologically, and perhaps not emotionally.
-
- You are jumping the gun. Population control via homosexuality in a certain
- proportion may indeed be sociobiologically beneficial.
-
- And emotions aren't rational to begin with.
-
- >So do "we" now get to "ban" homosexuality because it's not rational?
-
- Again, this red herring is irrelevant.
-
- >Why do YOU want a law that would force, say, a Christian landlord that
- >believes stronlg that homosexuality is a sin to rent to a homosexual?
-
- I don't. I just don't want said landlord to believe that his irrational
- prejudices will go unchallenged via constant discourse.
-
-
- Religion can destroy critical minds.
-
- >I don't ask YOU why you are homosexual. I don't ask you why you are "fucking
- >the wrong sex"
-
- Your implications of my hypocrisy would be believable were I actually asking
- why YOU are heterosexual, etc.
-
- You just don't understand. You think your prejudices are not to be questioned.
