>Note to the sarcasm-disabled: I don't believe in predestination. I believe in choice and in accountability. So you have a choice as to whether seeing a naked woman gives you an erection or whether a naked man does? -Z

Note to the sarcasm-disabled: I don't believe in predestination. I believe in choice and in accountability. Unfortunately, we live in such a silly society nowadays, that I'm compelled to be very sarcastic sometimes. ;) I found it funny in spite of me being sarcasm impaired. So maybe it wasn't sarcastic at all?? Taro

Note to the sarcasm-disabled: I don't believe in predestination. I believe in choice and in accountability. Unfortunately, we live in such a silly society nowadays, that I'm compelled to be very sarcastic sometimes. ;) You're getting silly. Once again.....please explain to me why a group of people.....by some estimates, as much as 20% of the population...........would choose to be something so hated by so many people. I just posted on a finance board where two guys were in disagreement and had started arguing with each other. Finally, one called the other a homo. That happens all the time. I can't tell you how many fag jokes I've been told. My God, some buttheads in Wyoming thought it was okay to crucify a gay man. So I'll tell you what.............you can come up with a reasonable explanation as to why someone would choose to be gay.......the subject of jokes, death threats, physical harassment and hate, and I will make best efforts to accept its plausibility. ted
