debaser said: many people set up the issue as "innate" vs "choice". Did you not get that part of my posts? Maybe it's on a previous page. Anyway that's my rub Ya, OK, that's fine. There is nothing "set in stone" about innate or choice. However, what you are ignoring is the rather vast amount of lit...

debaser said: The point is that sexuality is not set in stone at birth, end of story. I don't think anyone here is actually saying it is set in stone. I think Matt's got a point where he said: Possible causal factors for homosexuality are ( in chrono order): * Genetic; * Pre-natal/embryological/hor...

debaser, the principle problem with your argument/example as presented is that hair colour has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with sex, sex choices, sex characteristics, and so on, and so, you cannot lump it in with the sex-pref is innate argument -- apples; rutabagas. Well then I could site e...

The idea that humans, like other animals, have evolved with innate sexual preferences is hardly controversial. The fact that most animals are heterosexual in terms of who they seek to have sex with does not exclude the possibility that some will be attracted to those of the same sex, nor does it me...

Science has proven that sexual preferences is, indeed, innate. Genetically you're born fancying girls or you're born fancying boys or both, or neither. But beyond that, I don't know of any material that with 100% accuracy pinpoints why you come to like certain features. Proven? Genetically? Oh boy.

What's Melody Hensley doing in that conversation? She's not a transexual (as far as I know.) She's not even a lesbian. Shouldn't she just 'shut up and listen' to those who have a personal stake in this question? If she is simply on the SJW bandwagon, doesn't she realize that this idea that lesbians...

More about the evil lesbian porn star who refused to suck dicks because of her trans-misogyny (I lost brain cells just typing that). Even if you're bored of the story it's worth a look anyway as somebody uses/invents the slur "Looksist" as in "somebody who judges anothers sexual attractiveness base...

btw, women have "their" video games

It's called social media.

Over on Pharygula, we learn that GTA is putting strippers in danger : Yeah, itâ€™s common knowledge if you fondle a stripper during a lapdance, sheâ€™ll go home with you. Such a realistic depiction that in no way puts real strippers in danger if people like YOU somehow think this is realistic. This...

20 years ago, had I had a son, I probably would have been ok with a circumcision. But today, since I know better, I'd be against it. So, in that sense I can certainly see how someone with deep regrets on making a bad decision would hide behind douchery and accusations of emotionalism when the issue ...

Ban knives. Oh already taken care of. PZ you criminal. Threatening people over the internet. Threatening to carry weapons and stab people. PZ you are such a prick. PZ the Prick. I like it. Hey, what's the same between a hemophiliac and a virgin? (btw, this joke got my 9th grade spanish teacher fired)

"I would have thought most blokes would appreciate learning that"

Fuck you you condescending asshole.

Here's one link: http://www.library.wisc.edu/edvrc/docs/public/pdfs/LIReadings/InvisibleKnapsack.pdf I find it hard to get past the first point though: 1. I can if I wish arrange to be in the company of people of my race most of the time. Uh, why should you want to arrange that? Doesn't it seem a b...

What I make of it is one needs a firearms caddy who can pop in and take your weapon before you pass into an area where local ordinance prohibits them, and return it when you pass back into areas where they are allows. I think an actual golf cart would be impractical for this. An ultralight seems mo...

Was the MRM ever a prominent player in the A/S community before EG? Because it seems those schadenfreude have given them more exposure than expected/deserved. Own goal, shot in the foot, arrow to the knee...? Nah. I think ElevatorGate kick-started this whole atheist MRA thing in a big way. Because ...

When a renter rents out it's called a sublet.

lol that was so last page...never mind!

baboons pile-on

" Each side constantly tries to polarize the other side" For me, it was really getting involved and learning about Constitutional Law as it relates to the 1st Amendment...ya know being an atheist and secular activist (or sorts). (And back in those days such a person was actually needed). But on this...

For the record, I believe it was me, maybe a day prior to all this Elyse stuff that I called out her "friends" as enablers. I'm sure others have too but the timing on this is just spot on. Anyway, I haven't really been following this, all I know is that many people in RL have to deal with people who...

"I often see kids and dogs walking in my neighborhood completely alone. Some parents are irresponsible dipshits, but these kids and animals aren't "lost" and my involvement would only create a problem where none existed." Not sure what you mean, sorry for the lack of a quote attribute, and the ensui...

I'll point out that keeping and bearing arms is directly mentioned in the Constitution whereas insuring a car is not. People usually learn in drivers ed. that driving is not a right but a privilege. Yo check your privilege!

The Constitution is exactly what the Supreme Court says it is.

I do have to mention that times are changing in regards to fathers actually parenting. Here's just one tiny example. There's a local pool. It used to have a "Mommy and Me" program. However the name of the program has been changed a few years ago to "Parent and Tot". Maybe someday soon this will tran...

From that NYMag link...I thought it was pretty funny to see the author's " specifically the condition of horrible racist NBA team owner Donald Sterling " writing vs Neil's words, "â€œWeâ€™re human, we make mistakes, and I might be more forgiving than others,â€ he concluded sagely. â€œBut life is ve...

define "gun culture" and describe how an American can be pro-2nd Amendment without being part of "gun culture".

Can't? Then do you really understand what's going on?

Closely followed by how much they hate each other. Start with the shoes and bitch their way up.

I'd argue that it starts at the toe nails. YMMV.

1) here in NY it is 100% legal to go topless as a woman anywhere a man would be allowed.
2) here in NY it is 100% lawful for a woman to breastfeed anywhere children are normally allowed to be.

just sayin'

This one stands out in my memory. Though, now that I've watched it again immediately following watching the Myers video, I'd rank them on par. In both cases I think the questioner was being polite and non-combative, and was then insulted in front of a crowd, followed by applause. I'll stand by my e...

Any "friend" not coming down on that woman glorifying her alcohol and prescription drug abuse is an enabler.

I'm actually getting pissed off.

Over the last few days DJ has been posting that we "skeptics" should be more sympathetic to people who claim they have problems such a PTSD... but... today he posted this on Facebook. Haha. Perhaps his sympathy is getting a bit worn thin. D.J. Grothe 47 mins Â· While insanity is generally not conta...

...chicks are groping a woman who crowd surfs? That's way fucked up. Why the fuck would they even think of doing that? When I ran a go-go bar, the female customers were far more disrespectful of the dancers both verbally and physically. This doesn't surprise me at all. This might not be a nice thin...

I think the real disconnect here is that many of you think that feminist does not, in practice, equal "SJW" style feminism. That is, like me, you consider yourself 'sexual egalitarians'. And that is the dictionary definition of feminism. Unfortunately, I say that most of the feminists with large vi...

It doesn't come across as borderline personality disorder to me. It sounds far more narcissistic - it's as if she was horribly offended that he would turn down her offer. I think it comes down to loss of power over others. 1. That she was rejected in her offer, and so didn't have the sexual power i...

Regarding the prominence of certain skeptics I've heard of KS before, but not BR. I guess that I heard of her via RD.net or CFI. I want to comment on my personal judgements but I won't. For me, I guess I identify with the label "skeptic" but I generally don't use it. I generally use atheist. And yea...

AM click bait. Just say, "no".

Personally, I think Melody has either made up the PTSD thing or was told it by someone unqualified to diagnose such things. She claims to have given some sort of medical note to the CFI as proof that she is sick, but was it from an actual psychiatrist, or just some self-shingled "therapist"? Did th...

So often I hear about boys and men being addicted to the internet or video game. Bah. The real issue in modern modernity are girls and women being addicted to social media.

Turn off twitter, ladies!

Don't be THAT girl!

Let's see. Carrie Potty left JREf after all of 6 months. Her tenure there was marked by: In my time at the JREF, I witnessed continuous unethical behavior, much of which I reported to the Board of Directors. Meanwhile KS bypasses her employer CFI and goes direct to JREF to get BR blacklisted and th...

"I was in much the same position when Rebecca received threats after her YouTube post, giving guys advice on how not to come off as creepy.

"Melody makes my family's life just a little bit harder." For me, I'd rather have Melody whastherface making atheists look bad than having people say to me, "I never even met an atheist!".

YMMV.

Now SJW's kindly shut the fuck up about privilege. You live with 7 out of 100 points of privilege. Youâ€™re underprivileged.

"So, she left our little meeting mad at me. WTF? I still don't understand this completely."

I think it's because to many people they feel as though the quality of their work should be reflected in their pay; by default. Not that they need to demonstrate that pay matters.

I've lurked here for quite some time - pushed here by the guilty-until-proven-innocent rhetoric spouted by a very vocal sect in the A/S community. However the RadStollz saga has done damage to more than both parties involved. It has shone a bright light on the A/S conference circuit and how much of...

So my mother-in-law's partner died. They were never married. The man, before his death, was in bad shape. He couldn't think straight and he became very abusive. Anyway the bottom line is that this man's family lawyered up and are now fighting the will in which my mother in law was left with everythi...
