    You're the one saying those who became straight are just pretending. It's up to you to prove it. I can't prove a negative and that's what you're asking me to do.

    People choose to quit smoking or control their temper and failed also. That doesn't mean that they were born that way.

    So how old were you when you 'choose' to be straight? Or do you believe you were born that way?

    No, you're asking me to prove a negative. You claimed that gay people can choose to be straight without offering proof. I disagreed with you. Claims without evidence can be easily dismissed.

    But lets start here, with this post of yours. You refer to "those who became straight."

    Who are they? Source?

    I already asked that question. Can't get an answer.

    Wonder why?

    Actually, I think quite a few people are born with bad tempers. No one chooses to be an asshole. It's a symptom of things like depression, anxiety, and other mental disorders that have been proven to be the result of faulty chemistry in the brain. I'm sure there are exceptions to the rule, but I'd be willing to bet that, yes, most people with bad tempers were born that way. The guy who beats his wife wasn't usually a choirboy as a kid.

    But the smoking comparison proves you have zero clue what you're talking about. If I smoked for twenty years and then quit for five years, I am no longer a smoker. If I've fucked girls for twenty years and then hadn't got laid in the past five, I'm still a lesbian. Smoking is an activity; being gay isn't. You don't have to have sex with someone of the same gender to be gay; you don't have to kiss someone or dance with someone to be gay. But you have to smoke to be a smoker.

    Your comparison is ludicrous.

    Liberty is such a great thing, unless you're talking about other people's liberty that is. Mac has to put up with gay people and people that smoke marijuana and whatnot, I have to put up with bible waving, gun toting fundamentalists. If only there was someone that could force us all to think the same thing...

    Neither. I grew up with an inclination to be straight. Like I said, I never claimed that choosing to be gay was something you wake up one morning and decided to be gay or straight. However it isn't immutable and it's certainly not some sort of gene.

    How? I'm not the one claiming that no one can switch.

    Here you go.

    However people can control their temper, which is what I said earlier. I also said that people may have an inclination to have a bad temper over others.

    However most people don't quit smoking cold turkey and that's what I'm referring to. Even after they quit, they still have a craving for it.

    So you would not even suck Brad Pitt's dick? I'm straight and I got to admit he's kind of handsome. Also he's pretty rich might be worth the load. [​IMG]

    I wouldn't because of my beliefs and I have no desire.

    Any number of factors could determine a man going from gay to straight, and the one that springs instantly to mind is bisexuality.

    Sexuality exists on a spectrum, after all.

    So people who are attracted to their siblings, animals, and kids are apart of that spectrum?

    Like basically why do you spend so much effort in a subject you are advocating against.

    A quick look into your posting history suggests you are quite taken by homosexual threads. So while you say it's not for you, you're obviously thinking about it and that sooo gaaayy.

    Because besides gun control, this is pretty much the only other topic that is active and I can keep track on. I comment on President Trump threads when I can though.
    If you look me up in other forums, this topic rarely comes up.

    Nope, and now you're doing a classic ad Hominem against me. Why not instead address the arguments presented to you?
