Mike, recently (published in a UK major paper) there was a project where they have a computer program that after visually scanning a male face can tell with ~85-90% accuracy rate if the guy is homosexual.  It looks for shape of face and structure.  

This means that it IS genetic. Or epi-genetic.  It is NOT a choice like you pointed out.]]></description>

Thank you for not going into detail about your views. Anyone interested can read your link.

Even this comment pushes my limits on what I consider to be acceptable -- but you get some leeway as you don&#039;t JUST show up with your anti-gay ideas.

For the record, I DO spend a lot of time around homosexuals, including some of our closest friends and people I work with. I am sure there are good and bad in every slice of society, but I happen to find incredibly caring, artistic, witty, competent people in my circle of gay friends. They stand out to me for their empathy and genuine concern for the well-being of others. 

Maybe you should try spending some more time around homosexuals. They are better than &quot;okay.&quot; The implication that they are some sort of freak abomination or it&#039;s a choice is ignorant and unkind.]]></description>

To be honest, I don&#039;t spend much time around homosexuals at all. I could go into why, but Mike erased the bulk of my post last time I commented on that issue. Suffice it to say I don&#039;t share the currently-popular &quot;gay is okay&quot; idea. I try my best not to hate anyone, but I don&#039;t believe that loving someone means you never oppose their ideas or behavior. If you want to read more of my views on this, here&#039;s an article I wrote some time ago, just to get my stance down on paper...

I bash her not for her weight but because she&#039;s obsessed with it and palms herself off an an actor and an entertainer  talking about iher weight and little else non stop.  So she got fat, so what?  Who cares? She started out hot and coke addicted, kicked coke and began eating.and got fat.  So? If she had any real talent, who would care? Elizabeth Taylor got very heavy and didn&#039;t give a damn.   Look at Shelley Winters. She got very heavy in her later years.  But she was always an amazing actress who could do comedy, drama, she could be sexy, she could be a plain Jane, she could make you laugh, cry...very talented, plus she could write, plus she was an amusing guest on talk shows, always full of stories...an interesting woman, very real, down to earth, but a lady.  Rosemary Clooney got enormous when she aged and she wasn&#039;t witty but she was so warm and real and she had that voice so who cared?  She retired and was a wife and mother and a grandmother.  Yet very much herself.  I saw her sing in person at a club, the audience adored her.  Talent. No one cared that she was extremely heavy. You had to love her, up there. Ok, I&#039;ll stop.]]></description>
