Gay is of course a choice.  So is everything else in life.  Suggesting that it isn't is admitting guilt that what you are doing is wrong but that you aren't at fault because it isn't a choice.

People choose to behave in a certain way.  They don't choose to be a certain way (except in ways that really define behavior, such as bad habits, which you can choose to change, but may not be simple.)  The Spanish forms of Ser and Estar, I believe, address this confusion.

Christian doctrine (not sticking up for it, just bringing it up), for example, indicates that we're born evil, but we can choose (to do) good.  Of course, it also indicates we're incapable of being good all the time, and that's where it breaks down, but the difference, I think is in the nature of the person (possibly DNA or nurture) and the behavior of the person, without regard to whether we're talking "good vs. bad."

So I'm the asshole here I guess. I am sorry if you guys had a choice. I am attracted to women I never looked at a guy and said, "Damn I really want that dude to fuck me in the ass and cum all over my face while I rub one out, but I choose to like women." I just always liked women and I assumed that homosexuals were just the opposite or something. I apologise for my ignorance. I didn't know you guys chose to be straight. I honestly never felt I had a choice.

Nor have I.  And that's because I don't think it's a good choice for individuals such as myself to make.  If other folks want to make that decision its up to them.  For me, it is counterintuitive.  Of course now some individuals are going to try to paint me as an anti-gay bigot, but that's not the case;  I just don't think homosexuality is a wise choice, but if others want to make that decision it is up to them.

I agree with your analysis in part, but I completely disagree with Christian doctrine regarding original sin.  I think that's bullshit.  People make choices that are good and bad.  They aren't born one way or another.  Environmental conditioning is part of the equation, too.

You fuck what you are attracted to. Its just that simple, in almost all cases.

Im straight, but I suppose if I were offered enough cash, say enough to where I'd never have to work again for the rest of my life, I'd do a dude and not think too much about it.

Everything is a choice when it comes right down to it. Some choices just come with more complications than others do and you decide whether to deal with those or not.

I'm sure there has been some dude, somewhere out there at some point in history, who was naturally attracted to other men but decided to screw women instead and supress his natural urges because of the bullshit they would catch from their family. Sounds messed up, but I betcha its happened.

Dale, (after about 30 attempts to get my damn compaq to boot - I may have to drag out my old laptop but it only has 512 megs of ram and it sucks) I was going to say...  


I thought the cartoon you posted was showing a guy fed up with his wife bitching and he decided he'd try going "gay" for relief with less bitching.

I don't think being gay is a choice ( like Al said) you're either attracted/aroused by someone or you're not.  I mean, yea - you could have sex with a woman, but if it doesn't turn you on like ha ving sex with a guy, then what the hell, why do it with women?

I used to work at Budget Rent a Car for years and I was around alot of gay guys and gals.  Several guys let me know they were attracted to me, but I told em I just can't get it up for a dick and hairy legs - the feeling just wasn't there.  So, I'm definitely hetero...

I'm thinking there are plenty of nagging boyfriends that make you want to blow your brains out from the frustration..

Its not very likely that a guy or gal that is gay would go through all the ostracism and headaches you must get for liking the same sex unless that was really what they were naturally attracted to and comfortable with.

This is a no- brainer imo.  If I was attracted to and excited by guys, I'd go for it.

Now, on a different topic, any techies out there that can help me figure out why my 4 year old compaq won't stay on, keeps shutting down, and takes about 30 trys to get it to start?

I've done 2 system restores on this bitch already.  I've always used Norton, and aside from going to a few sketchy porn sites have kept my system clean.  Is is hardware or software?  

Either way, I'm going for a new pc with windows 7 instead of this shitty Vista before Christmas.

Its hardware related.

Overheating of the CPU most likely.

Take off all the covers on the bottom (if its a laptop) and spray some of that canned wind in the fucker to clean out all the dust that prevents good airflow. If its a desktop, I'd guess a failing CPU or main power supply, unless you notice no air flowing through the AT power supply fan (the big fan on the back). That might be an issue as well. Try cleaning it out and see what happens. Sometimes faulty RAM memory will do that kind of thing too.

Most likely though, the damage has already been done and its time for a new one.

Thanks Mike - I've cleaned it pretty well over the years.  So, once its gone, its gone?  My new one is waiting. 

Just wondered if I could buy a component or two and still have it available.   I hate to throw shit away.  And, HP wanted $50 to help me figure it out. Not bad, but on the phone vs local, I'll go local..

I wouldn't spend too much trying to fix it. If you feel comfortable doing it, pull the cover off and yank one RAM module out at a time and see if it works with one or the other not in the thing. Then try the soundcard. etc etc.

If its RAM, you have to figure out if its worth the expense of buying new stuff. If its the CPU, scrap it unless you can get a replacement cheap on Ebay or something like that.

I appreciate your input!  Its probably gone - these things seem to have about a 3 or 4 years lifespan.

I think you can be born gay AND that some people choose to be gay. I mean is that a crazy thing to say? I have a close friend who went through a bad break up with a guy and became a lesbian for about a year until she met another "Mr. Right" and now she's straight again. I don't doubt people like Dale who say they were born that way but it pisses me off a little when I hear these "NOBODY CHOOSES THAT LIFESTYLE" argument.
