- I will, as soon as I find my inter-galactic communication device. :-)
-
- So a trait as rare as it might be cannot be called abnormal as long
- as it cannot change but homosexuality although somewhat common is
- considered abnormal because in your opinion it can be changed.
-
- So a baby born without a brain is not abnormal because he cannot
- change the situation? (What if that baby grows up and starts
- posting to POLITICS? :-)
-
- You are the first and the only person on this list who is suggesting
- to tie the definition of abnormality to whether the particular trait
- in question can be changed or not.
-
- Now because you are the ONLY one who believes this I was gonna call
- you abnormal but then I am not sure whether you can change this
- nonsense approach. Please let me know if you can change. :-)
