I was watching the news the other day about the ongoing push on gay marriage in that States. I'm sure most of you have heard the argument on the anti-gay side about how gay sex is unnatural because obviously you can't reproduce that way. In my opinion, gay, straight or bi, people are just born the way they are. Everyone should be allowed to love and marry whoever they choose. But then it occurred to me that maybe nature/God (whatever your belief is) intended homosexuality as a type of population control? It's obvious that the human race has a population problem. We're growing so fast eventually there won't be enough resources to go around for everyone. My theory is that maybe people born gay is nature's way of controlling our population. What do you guys think? Am I talking out of my ass or does this make any sense to you?
Question On Homosexuality

Interesting, 12:22am, were you here yesterday for our infertility talk?
Love is love. Let there be love. If you are in love you should be allowed to marry. Period
Yes, well we all know that God is just a teenage boy playing a cruel game of "Civilization" with Earth. He will release some crazy virus that only goes after yellow skin and wipes out 2/3 of the Asian population so that the sustainable resources points won't be consumed too quickly before he figures out the tech tree to build space ships to colonize another planet due to overpopulation.
if you want to curb the populations from consuming too much resources, better nuke North America first, then some of the Asian nations
now i have an urge to play Civ
Well if I was playing CIV, I wouldn't be so colour blind like you. I'd nuke the shit out of the races I secretly don't like, but that's what playing computer games are for. In the real world, your idea of being colour blind means that all is equal. So yes, in the ideal world nuking 5.5 billion Caucasians is just as good as nuking 5.5 billion Asians to solve the resource problem, I mean, bodies are bodies. But you didn't factor in a few things in your colour blind world:
1) If you are colour blind, a more equitable solution is to pick the same number of persons in each race and haul them off to be eliminated.
2) Asians are smaller, eat less. You should nuke those who are bigger and eat more. Aren't Caucasians usually bigger than Asians? Better go after the Germans first, I think they're the biggest. Have you seen what those guys can pack away? Ever sat down and eaten a traditional German meal?
3) If the whole thing is about solving resource issues, then you should eliminate people in the USA first because an American consumes maybe 10X what a person in the 3rd world consumes. To be efficient, you should then go down from there, Americans, then Europeans, then Asians, then Africans (did I miss anybody?). Anyways, then nobody could accuse you of being a racist. However, this solution, if implemented, would guarantee that all Caucausians would be wiped out before the resource problem was solved, but if you were colour blind, you wouldn't really care.
4) Just wipe out all the FAT people first. Then it's not about race, that's for sure. Also get rid of people who are autistic and the mentally retarded, they're a real drag on resources. Might as well throw in the lesbians, they're good for nothing
Oh, and Muslims, how could I forget Also add Justin Bieber, he's wasted a lot of television, internet and magazine resources, and also a waste of the minds of little girls.Anyways, it's all good in theory. It would be convenient for you, probably a caucasian, to suggest we wipe out the Asians because as you say, the 'answer would be the same'.
As for where SARS and Avian Flu started, you could say that because it started in Asia, Asians deserve to be wiped out by it. OK, I'll go with that, because the Black Plague started in Europe, and roughly 1/3 of Europeans were wiped off the map because of it. So yeah, the Europeans deserved it for being dirty and uncivilized, and now it's the Asian's turn. You live in a pretty tough world buddy. Just try to remember there's always a bigger bully nearby somewhere.
By the way, I was only joking about killing people and calling them good for nothing. I really do think we're all equally good and equally bad. Just thought I'd throw that in because some of you don't understand silly jokes.
i'll take a swing at this one, if you don't mind...
atomic weapons: theorized by a german, albert einstein. prototypes created and first used by the americans, subsequently acquired and detonated by most of the major ethnic groups on earth
genocide: practiced since time immemorial, possibly the greatest practitioner of which was genghis khan - a mongolian. the word was relatively recently invented by a pole, raphael lemkin
pogrom: see genocide above - this word was again relatively recently coined to mean the massacre or persecution of members of the jewish faith, originally in russia
smallpox: a disease that's been around since at least the end of the last ice age. however, we do know that a definitive prevention for smallpox was invented by an englishman, edward jenner. since the worldwide application of jenner's invention, the disease has been virtually removed from the earth
spanish inquisition: essentially a cult of christianity, a religion that broke away from the semitic traditions of judaism
how am i doing so far l-i-j?
But then it occurred to me that maybe nature/God (whatever your belief is) intended homosexuality as a type of population control?
What's next...maybe god intended Aids as a type of homosexual population control?
What's next...maybe god intended Aids as a type of homosexual population control?
I caught that one too. Is that what she's implying? As to what the original thought in this thread from the OP...Times are changing, and there are those who can't, won't, or deny change is going on as we speak. We must live in a progressive society in order to continue to pursue more nobler ways of life experience, more profound conceptualiztions...anyway, marry the one you love, and fuck those who say you can't.
Interesting....what makes you believe in this theory? What makes you think that HIV and AIDS is a naturally occuring population control.... and of who? If you remember, in the 1980's when it first came to light that AIDS and the resulting diseases that killed many in the gay community, there were those who were saying that it was nature's way of killing fags. Or, if you will...God's anger that men were loving men, so it created AIDS to kill the sinners.
I doubt you really mean that, as you probably weren;t really thinking that theory out too far, to what it might imply, refer to...that's an ugly place to go.
Have you possibly heard of the "bell curve"? Nature's always present distribution of all things proportionately and mathematically? Google it and it will explain any question you have about anything at all. Populational control? i think there's a lot more factors operating on the constant evolution of populations of all species. The ecosystem for example? Try thinking a little larger. There's nothing particularly shocking about anything when you realize the answer to everything is a slightly shifting push and pull around a center point. Because if ever there were a true balance of anything in nature there would be no momentum or movement and everything would stop. BELL CURVE... DIVINE Proportion. "for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction blah blah blah Google those. and all meaning is created by reference to an opposite so if theres black there has to be white if theres up there has to be down and all shades of grey in between. straight.... gay... whatever. They arent any more exceptional than any other quality on earth that exists so pondering what the purpose is for seems pretty useless. choose an answer that works for you and go with that
Now that's just a low blow. It's funny how Asians are the ones being targeted every time we talk about overpopulation or population control. Look, we're all part of the human race. One entity. I'm not trying to sound like a tree hugger/hippie here. If there was another Spanish Flu/SARS/Smallpox outbreak, do you really think the virus is going to target specific a specific race? It's going to wipe you out regardless of your ethnicity.
It's also hilarious when us peeps in the west always point their fingers towards Asians when we talk about "fucking disproportionate ratio" in terms of world population. But when we get our iPhone 5 or Air Jordans delivered to our doorsteps nobody fucking wonder how it was manufactured and delivered here so quick.
Well OK so it started in China but it wiped out 1/3 of Europeans, but the Chinese were essentially untouched. Guess the Europeans were the weaker lot. Oh well too bad so sad. By your logic, they deserved to be wiped out then.
Actually 330mill N.A.'s do consume way more than the rest of the world, not just Asia.
Look here: http://www.worldwatch.org/node/810
"The United States, with less than 5 % of the global population, uses about a quarter of the world’s fossil fuel resources—burning up nearly 25 % of the coal, 26 % of the oil, and 27 % of the world’s natural gas."
And thanks for the compliment about "us" being good at math. It would do "you", whatever you are, some good to get an education. Then you don't come off sounding like an ignorant country bumpkin with racist tendencies, because you know what? That's just not cool.
excuse me, but you kind of left out a huge historical fact, a fact that changed the course of history, a fact far greater than the one you state here.
You ommited that the Americans were the only people who used nuclear weapons on anyone, and they used it on Japanese people. And you ommitted that despite every other major ethnic group has detonated such weapons, nobody bar none has used it except for the Americans. That's an important distinction.
I'll also add that America was about to nuke China, a 3rd world country, during the Korean war. Losing a war to a 3rd world country and resorting to nukes, that's fucking pathetic to have even considered it.
norm, i generally find your posts enlightening, but in this case i find you are suffering from a common perb affliction - that of a lack of reading comprehension. there are courses you can take for that
