Zbigniew Brzezinski on Israeli terrorism against Palestinians: "The Israelis are becoming increasingly like the white supremacist South Africans, viewing the Palestinians as a lower form of life, not hesitating to kill a great many of them." "You cannot define the loss of human life in terms of the number of Israelis killed by brutal, savage, inexcusable Palestinian terror. And it does take place. The fact of the matter is that three times as many Palestinians have been killed, and a relatively small number of them were really militants. Most were civilians. Some hundreds of children." --Zbigniew Brzezinski

Ted, Now the next question is why does it happen? Does nature have a purpose? Earlier this year, you (or someone else) posted the theory that the "gay gene" makes men more homosexual, but makes women more "hypersexual" and thus more likely to get pregnant. That's one way to explain how the "gay gene" survives from one generation to the next. One of the two links that neolib provided discusses that very issue: ""For a long time it has been a paradox," says Andrea Camperio-Ciani, who led the study. "But we have found that there might be a set of genes that, in males, influences homosexuality but in females increases fecundity."" nature.com Just to clarify, however, I still stand by my belief that it's more nurture than nature, but let's not go there again. I suppose anything is possible but I wonder how in a family of six siblings, one turns out gay and the rest straight. The mother nurtured all but one sibling? There have been mothers who are devoid of nurturing......in fact, their treatment of their children was the antithesis of nurturing, and yet their kids turn out straight. In my psychology class, few consistencies could be found for why some people turn out gay unlike say, the probability of having multiple births. Within certain families, multiple births have been common throughout their geneology. With gayness, however, a similar propensity within families was not found. I think the simple truth is that its a random design of nature's to keep a certain percentage of the population gay. I just can't figure out why. ted
