It's impossible to not agree with this. If you want to boycott someone, go for it. It you want to ROFL at someone, go for it.

Political correctness is flat out killing America.

Sure it does. If you fail to accept that you in your very posts do the very things you accuse others of doing...that is on you.

I'm so glad 'abnormal' people like Alexander the Great, Leonardo Da Vinci, Michaelangelo, Rachmaninoff, Alan Turing, Jane Addams, and even singers like Elton John and Freddie Mercury etc existed.

Just about any ignorant teen can 'procreate' in the back of dad's car. People like those I listed and 1000's more have contributed far more to human culture than just producing another baby who may end up just be a drain on society.

There is a lot more to sex than "procreation"! Hell amoebas can do that without a brain.
Nope. Not what I said. I said the biological purpose of sex is procreation. I did not say our only purpose for being on this earth is to procreate. A discussion of our purpose for existing is a debate for the religion and philosophy boards. I just know that the biological purpose for sex is procreation. We like to use it for fun but the bottom line is it was designed to keep the species going.

When did being correct or at least factual become a bad thing in America?

My dictionary says "deviating," not "different." Thus, homosexuality is deviant behavior, not just different. Deviating from accepted normal behavior.

Again, a whitewash. Heterosexuality is not simply "more common." It is normal in the strictest sense. We are made that way by nature. It is not just a preferred practice.

You are deliberately obfuscating the issue. Typical of Leftist doublespeak, used to convince the masses that what they believe to be true is all in their mind; i.e., they have been conditioned to believe, but what they think they know is open to debate. There is no absolute truth, according to the pedagogues of the new intellectualism, who have been educated to imbecility.

One of the things homosexuals fear more than anything is to be thought to be "abnormal;" hence, their militant (and absolute vitriolic) response to anyone who would suggest that they aren't.

Just how many times in a person's life do their sex acts end up producing a child? These days about 1, 2, maybe 3 children might be the norm?

So the difference between gay and lesbian couples having sex and straight couples having sex might really be only about 3 sessions over a whole lifetime?

And what of those straight couples who choose not to have children at all, or can't have children?

Since when do people only ever have sex if they want to produce a baby?

Why do you think contraceptives were invented (various methods have been used throughout human history)

Sex also is mostly used by couples for creating intimacy and bonding and having fun.

Unless you think that heterosexual humans are not really any different to animals who only engage in sex acts when the female is in heat and is likely to be impregnated?

When we started raising our children to think they are special and everyone should treat them with kid gloves.

It's the point I don't even talk to strangers IRL because I might say something to offend them without even realizing it. I give up. Let's all go home, lock our doors and then no one will be offended.

Just yesterday I made a run to the grocery store and the cashier wished me a "Blessed day" as I left. I thought to myself what a nice gesture and then I thought about all the people who would be offended by it.

We used to treat others as if they were more important than us now we see ourselves as more important than others.

Yes it is the primary function. Otherwise, where else would a child come from? Having said that, what about couples who can't have children, or don't want children? Should they not be allowed to have sex? I mean, they're not procreating, so they shouldn't be allowed, right? The sex part is part of the fun of producing a baby! At any rate, I look at it this way... IMO what 2 consenting adults do in the privacy of their own home isn't my concern, whether I like, or agree with what they're doing or not. Because, guess what? I don't have to participate! It's not up to me to pass judgement. I'll leave that to the MAN upstairs!
