People with unpopular views shouldn't get admitted to Uni? That's an awesome opinion.

Aaaahhh Biccat, did I SAY that people with unpopular views shouldn't be admitted to Uni?
I think I didn't. But if you want to take it that way, sure, I don't mind.

Oh dear. Oh dear Oh dear.

Everyone get to the minimum safe distance. This bad boy's gonna blow.

Either way I have to say this is one of the most successful trolls in DakkaDakka history. I'm surprised at how many of you got baited.

You find it "hilarious" that he "made it even to Uni with your views."

I'm not sure how else to take that.

There's a perverse pleasure in it, I must admit.

Oh Humanity.

Nighty night, Shotty. I'm going to bed to have relations involving the butt with a transvestite, my girlfriend, and a black, atheist man. I'm going to tell them all about you and how right you are.

Be back tommorow, BYE!!!!!11!!one!!

It's my trusting nature. It always ends this way.

(Well this one time it ended with me being chased out of a wedding, but that's a much more embarassing story)

Howabout as written? I find it hilarious that someone with such an inflexible, unreasonable outlook could have made it into university. I don't care if he does well or not, hell, he can end up Dean for all I care, but I find it hilarious.

Honestly, I meant what I wrote. I usually do.

Coastal engineer?

Well, good luck with that.

The absurdity of the British education system continues to impress.

Also, anyone who believes homosexuality is a choice or genetic is being silly. The human mind is a hell of a lot more complicated than that.

See!? This is the kind of thing I'm talking about.

Dammit, biccat, you're supposed to be a gun-waving, Muslim-hating, gay-bashing ideologue!

Rational statements in a political debate, what is this world coming to?

Shotty, how big was the dildo? Also, what color was it? How did he get to the hospital? Did he drive himself or did he need an ambulance? These are questions for you to think about.

Ahh looks like ive lost myself in all this hate .

Let me regain my thoughts (with the help of coffae)


It seems to me that from the dawn of creation man has become an unpredicdable race , and hence are subjected to perversions of the mind and body.

Now , as we know humans are not perfect , becaus we derive from a primal subspecies during that time our mind was not "able"to decide on what is and what is not perfect .

And during this "primal" time and as our mind was evolving it was inevitible that these perversions were made manifest .

What are these perversions that were made manifest during our primal evolution ? Good question .

Well as we explored our enviroment due to our primal mind we "experimented" which was a good thing but also a bad thing.

Becaus as we experimented we found out how to use tools and build .

But we also due to our primal evolving mind had sex with the same sex .

Which led to the degredation of our civilisation .

By studying this evidence we can concur that our civilization would of been alot better of ,

And that gay people revolt me .

That's the thing, homosexuality is proven to have genetic influences. Influences is the key word here-- we are products of both nature and nurture.

As for how homosexuality keeps going despite the fact that homosexuals typically don't reproduce? Well for one, not everyone who has the genetics would necessarily be homosexual because of societal influences. How many husbands find out they're gay later in life, after having children and being married to a lovely wife? Quite a few, actually.

But that said, I'd have to bring up the issue of Drepanocytosis, IE sickle cell anaemia. It's obviously a very deadly and unwanted gene, right? And yet, it's actually favorable to have a dominant normal gene and a recessive sickle cell gene, because it makes the person immune to malaria and some other similar diseases. So the gene provides a trade-off. Homosexuality genes, as it were (it's a large set of them rather than a single gene), have a similar status in human genetics, albeit homosexuality itself isn't actually any more lethal than heterosexuality barring societal bigotry, but it does mean that if someone embraces it they won't likely reproduce, so the same effect genetically.

Perfect , if what you say is correct then since we live in a world where the strong survive and the weak perish , hence the homosexuals are the weakest link . Now ...do we want a weak link in our scociety ?

chowderhead your like a fart that wont leave me alone

Yeah! And homeless people are weak links, too. And poor people. And the mentally handicapped. You know what? So are religious people, because they stand in the way of scientific progress. Get rid of all of 'em!

o0shotty0o wrote:Perfect , if what you say is correct then since we live in a world where the strong survive and the weak perish

We don't. And furthermore, you misunderstand (probably intentionally, as you appear to be a troll)-- the sickle cell anaemia genetics actually provides an ADVANTAGE, through the heterogeneous combination providing immunity to malaria. It's not a weak link.

Homosexuality, genetically speaking, actually has advantages to society, precisely BECAUSE they don't reproduce.

Also, without precognitive powers, we cannot determine which mutations are advantageous and which are not.

People with Sickle Cell Anemia are immune to Malaria.

Actually it's not JUST people with it, but carriers (people with one dominant normal gene and one recessive SCA gene-- they don't actually have SCA themselves) that are immune to malaria.

We dont ? so what if goodlooking man gets a job that an ugly guy applied for but thay have the same qualification that ugly guy cant get any money to feed himself and so dies out of starvation

Same happens all over the place like in nature the bigest and strongest male gets the female . so others die without carring on thier genes .

Huh, didn't know that. Guess you learn something new everyday.

Uh, I know all about sickle cell. I teach a whole series of classes based around it.

I was angling towards the point that we cannot predict which traits will be useful in the future, since we cannot predict future conditions.

Because there's only one job ever that one person can ever get, amirite?


Also, you live in fething France. FRANCE. Who the hell starves to death in France? Don't you guys have like crazy expansive social programs that make the American left-wingers look like heartless corporate bastards?

Nope. If it was "the strong survive" we'd not have society to begin with. Society itself provides protection to those whom are weaker so that they can provide services and produce goods that they would be unable to provide if society does not exist. Indeed, because of the nature of our society, many strong and/or talented people are held back by those whom are born into wealth.
