Yeah, you're right about that... I never call somebody a liar, unless it's VERY obvious, like the guy who claimed to be a school "principle" (I'd assume you could at least spell your own profession, especially when it's education-related ). Because honestly, how could somebody prove these things online?? I was once accused of lying about my master's degree & my age, because the person misunderstood my screenname... and let me tell you, there's NOTHING more frustrating than trying to prove yourself through a computer!!! Not that it matters, but I think we all know how horrible it is to be called a liar - even by a complete stranger you'll never meet.

Um, I would really hope that any real doctor doesn't call genes a "theory" in so many words

I would hope so as well. Since according to you, I'm just a med tech, I guess we have nothing to worry about. You obviously have selective reading abilities, otherwise you would have found my point. I guess you are too busy trying to evaluate my messages than read them.

For example, I was born with the dislike for fish, but both of my parents love it... so obviously I didn't inherit the dislike from them. Rather, it means that I was BORN with some GENE that makes me hate the taste. See?? Just like with homosexuality, which is a trait that's just part of your genetic makeup... your parents don't give it to you, the randomness of genetics does.

Ironically, today was the official "day of silence" to show respect for struggles of GLBT individuals. I had to visit a high school this morning (talking to them about the library), and lots of kids were honoring it by taping their mouths shut - kind of a nice change, LOL.

Is there any particular reason you are attempting these passive jabs at me?

Thank you to whoever sent me the neg point without sending their name along with their comment.

Foul, innapropiate- Actually I think when someone asks about anal sex on this forum, they are the one that is foul and innapropiate. See, I disagree, but I don't send you a neg point. I just state the obvious.
Spammy- spam is unsolicited email. My post was not spam.
Rude- is giving a neg point when you disagree with someone's post without posting your name.

Be an adult and post any message to me on forum so it can be properly addressed and if need be, I can apologize for any rude content.

Agreed?

The gays have it. "It" being influence on corporate decisions. I see political pull close to the old adage the "squeaky wheel gets the grease".

The o.p. was on the corporation who may have bowed to pressure in order to further its own gain. I see parallels in corporate america such as the oil industry. Greed makes strange bedfellows.
