"There is no consensus among scientists about the exact reasons that an individual develops a heterosexual, bisexual, gay, or lesbian orientation."

"Although much research has examined the possible genetic, hormonal, developmental, social, and cultural influences on sexual orientation..."

"...no findings have emerged that permit scientists to conclude that sexual orientation is determined by any particular factor or factors."

"Many think that nature and nurture both play complex roles; most people experience little or no sense of choice about their sexual orientation."

I feel better in that I'm not ignorant in saying that it hasn't been proven that homosexuality isn't a choice.

I find it annoying that such a thing would be offensive, mainly because, well, what does it matter?

The only reason it would offend is if the person who is in a position where their sexuality is in question, is confronted by the 'moral issues' dictated by religious circles.

And I don't see why that person should worry about religious circles, therefore I don't see why they should be offended.

At the same time, I agree that it is scientifically possible for homosexuality to be written in the genes.

Talking about controversial issues online really sucks. I hate it, and I don't even know what compelled me to expose myself to it.

I find it annoying when people can only think of the negative aspects of what someone thinks, and get the guns out before asking, "Well, why do you think that?"

Maybe I'm deluded, but I've seen the psychologist's approach working a lot better than the angry villager's many a time.

Admittedly I've never seen it work like that online. The angry villager always prevails.

I probably am deluded in hindsight; I find the Mars One mission much more important than some dude looking at a girl's curves and finding them aesthetically pleasing.

It's the hypocrisy of the feminist! That's what I wanted to argue for!

Stereotypically, when a girl wants to be noticed, she thinks, "I want people (or a certain person, even) to look at me and think, wow, she's pretty."

So she dresses well, and then people look at her, and lo and behold! Wait... she thinks that guy's a creep because he checked her out. Which is subconsciously what she wanted...

...but he's not the right guy. She was hoping the other guy would notice. And now this guy's a creep.

GOOD ONE, LOGIC.

Here's what I think about being offended, very well put by Mr. Stephen Fry himself.

"It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that', as if that gives them certain rights. It's no more than a whine."

"It has no meaning, it has no purpose, it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I'm offended by that.' Well, so fucking what?"

In future though, I'll probably keep my opinions to myself. I hate that feminists attack misogynists then themselves turn into misandrists. It's not intellectual in the slightest.

It's like they don't even see what they're doing.
