Originally posted by Nighthawk62I am a bit surprised about the lack of replies, too, but maybe we just all got tired of this discussion. It's hard to have a meaningful discussion with people who call any deviation from their norm a "mental disease".

Originally posted by HalitoseYes, science is such a lot down with its perpetual self-criticism. Much better is religious faith which replaces those pesky possible's and could's with certainly's and [i]does[i]'s.
Sensationalism. Isn't it interesting how many times "possible" and "could" appear in that article. The gay-gene remains elusive.
