Even if these animals practice homosexuality, and even if it's for the same reasons as humans, what does this prove?...is this a validation of the same behavior in humans?...I saw a show the other day where the light orange monkeys were turning on the dark orange monkeys for no reason, according to the commentator, other than the monkeys were darker...and we all know the big dogs literally piss on the little dogs...not to mention the breeds of primates who fling their own feces when they're angry or excited...Is this a door you want to open?

The point is that your "laws of nature" argument is specious. Arguments based on slogans, cliches and appeals to so-called "common knowledge" which is mere prejudice and superstition are unworthy of trained minds. If you want to talk about the laws of nature, you should actually study the natural world. Take the bonobos, for instance, which engage in all sorts of sexual behavior, mostly non-reproductive, apparently to resolve conflict. Scientists observe that all bonobos, which are even more closely related to humans than chimpanzees, appear to be bisexual. If you want to cite a human behavior which is both destructive and violative of the laws of nature as exhibited BY nature--not to mention contrary to both individual and group self-interest--there is no better example than war.

Just heard George Carlin, comedian, on Imus:
Imus: "Did you pay attention to the election"

Hehe. I like to post BSG rules after Starbuck posts because I know he likes the show. When I was in the service stationed over in Germany, there was lots of D&D going on, but I never got it. I would probably be more likely to go to a Star Trek convention; never been, but it look like fun.
I thought being a Stone's freak already put me in the cool kids' club. I am living in a state of delusion. |

So...at one point to do recognize the differences between us and the animals and draw morals lines between what is and is not approprirate sex?...I mean we do that right?...We do not condone sex with children, or animals, or dead people?...Growing up, we had a cocker spaniel that would hump anything he could...any thing...crap, sometimes the damn dog would hump the air...just be sitting there pumping away...it would have been funny if it weren't someone else's dog
What's specious is you attaching meaning to animal sex other than their biologicial drive to procreate...You have absolutely no empirical proof to support this argument...it's all pretty much conjecture...I find it hard to believe they lack the ability to reason in all areas except their choices of sexual behavior |

No toys, no comic book collection, no Star Wars figures.
But, I do have the first 2 seasons of SG1 on DVD. |

Bill Maher made a statement about one of the GOP leading players. It has nothing to do with zionism. |

There is at least one bright mind around here that will tell you that it all has to do with Zionism...lemme guess, the GOP leading player that was referred to was not jewish?

I am shocked you were unable to spell that correctly...isn't there like classes you guys take to ensure stuff like that does not happen
But on a different note, you might appreciate this...Last night I bought a vintage Tissot...I've always wanted one like this but could never find the style...I found it pretty much by accident
This is not mine, but it looks like this

Enjoy. A fine time piece is an extension of the man. I have a nice collection, including Patek Phillipe, Cartier, Panerai, Breitling, and my most prized possession, a 1930 rose- gold Tiffany. |

You'll have to post a pic of the Tiffany...yes extension of the man...I have over 200 watches which I suppose is a statement that I can't make up my mind...I don't have any of the class you referenced, but there are some that are very pricey and some that are not so much...I am more into taking old cruddy watches and fixing them and cleaning them up...what I find is that I am afraid to wear any of the fine watches for any extended period of time...I have a habit of breaking them...also, if it's not an anti-magnetic watch, it will not run when I wear it...strange but true |

I took the Tiffany to 'Tiffany's in NY and they brought me upstairs they were so excited, The band is shot, and they showed their jeweler to see if he could make something compatible....they currently are unable to do so.
