Funny, I never said I supported those laws. I think as long as you aren't hurting anyone, it isn't anyone else's business how you live your life.

And human sexuality is a continuum. Bisexuality doesn't necessarily interfere with reproductive success.
Yet more evidence. You people don't know when to quit!

I've never once suggested that there is an individual "duty" to contribute to the propagation of the species, I simply maintain that the continuation of the human species beyond the current generation might be a good thing. And I think most people who do not possess a death wish for the human race would agree with me.

But hey, I enthusiastically support your right to not contribute.

This is a stupid argument.

As a society we fully encourage people to indulge in that wide spread mental illness that compels millions to speak to invisible people in the sky and pray to ladies with wings that live on clouds and play harps all day, don't we?

Talk about an infliction that is counter-productive to the progression of human civilization and human potential!

For someone who compairs their action to those of birds, stupid should not be in your vocabulary.

It seems that this need to be said, as people seem to think Gay Rights means all sorts of weird things.

It will not lead to bestiality or marrying toasters.
Why bother?
