Disagreed, homosexuality was considered wrong for a long time, but in recent years it has become accepted by a majority. This (not) quote would imply that homosexuality is still wrong because nothing but popular opinion changed on the matter.
homosexuality is present in other species besides humans. the only thing "wrong" about it (looking from a logical perspective) is that it isnt conducive to the survival of a species. You cant mate with someone of the same gender. There's also the religious side in that many religions state that being gay is a sin. It is "natural" just not "right" in the logical sense. The biggest point we have to remember is that humans are not logical creatures, so theres not point in trying to vilify gays for not being logical.

That's basically what I was saying, that it's counterproductive to the reproduction of the species.
In large groups of penguins, orphaned chicks are often taken in by gay couples. Heterosexual pairings will usually not care for the chicks, since they have their own resource-intensive young to look after. In this manner, the parents' genetic input is not lost.
Also, there's no imperative to directly contribute to the reproduction of the species in order to benefit the species, especially for a species based as heavily around complex social structures as homo sapiens.
It's good in a sense that they can take in orphans or abandoned children

Tell that to Japan
Yeah, but gay people doesn't cause the low birth rate. People are retiring later, leaving less jobs for the new generation; there's a whole bunch of young men who are putting finding a job before getting a family. There's a whole cultural thing about being the breadwinner for the family, and that's getting more difficult.
Homosexuality isn't unnatural as we see it everywhere in the animal kingdom. It must have SOME advantage in genetics to be passed on so commonly - and yes it has been all but been confirmed to be a genetic trait. The issue is finding out why. We can give several theories - such as homosexuals being able to be more trusted by the 'alphas' of the community to be with the women since they like men... Onl that most "homosexual" males tend to also be bisexual. They could take in orphaned offspring, but so could heterosexuals. It's really just a guessing game at this point. It's a bit (read: very) difficult to find out why any genetic trait exists.
Thats what i always ask myself when i do things
''What's right and wrong anyways''
Is it right bc its acceptable by laws that human make up or cause you don't feel bad doing it
And I end up doing things that are considered wrong cause I just don't see the real concept of what's right and what's wrong
I mean, culturally people have different concepts of right and wrong. In India it's horribly wrong and a huge evil to so much as harm a cow, in America we regularly slaughter and eat them. This is a commonly studied thing in anthropology
In many places, a 20 dating a 16 is totally fuckup
But in here, 16 is legal age already
It's all about concept I guess
If you defend your actions long and hard enough, the wrong thing doesn't feel so wrong anymore and the right thing isn't that necessary to be done
That's an acceptable skew because of culture, unless it violates basic human rights. This has been a growing concept all over the world, that all humans should have the same rights
I like the natural ambiguity of this statement. The way almost everyone reading it will almost automatically feel vindicated by it, regardless of how spectacularly they disagree on the specifics and what the "truth" is.

Or! Flip flop the whole thing and it is still true! Truth doesn't become a lie, right doesn't become wrong... etc, only because it is no longer believed by the majority. Damn I love logic.
right and wrong is literally determined by the belief of the majority... Try again.

BAM! THANK YOU! Skip to the ending of this argument.......The majority of the electoral college says Trump is the best person for the presidency of the United States of America. Damn, it feels good to be a gangsta.
Well, you're colorblind so I didn't know if you could tell if which color the number was so I reminded you. Now that I think about it, they also have a picture either facing up or down, so you really had no excuse for not knowing which is which.
I don't remember the exact wording but it was along the lines of getting confused about which were likes and dislikes because you couldn't see the green/red color.
Honestly Spider, you know better than to falsely accuse peeps.
Kolourblind has tritonobia or something, he can perfectly distinguish green and red. He can also tell from the thumbs up or down whatever this is a “like” or “dislike”. Stop blowing smoke up his ass.
