serial killers are not created by nuture actually. They have sociopathic disorders which makes them gain pleasure or satisfaction from killing people. they have crossed wires in their heads, which is the same as homosexuals except the wires they've got crossed are harmless. it might correlate that having one disorder may increase the likelyhood of having another, but im not sure.

That would seem logical, if one wires connected to a wrong wire, the wire it was supposed to be connected to must be wrong too, I know i'm comparing the human brain to wires here but still...

that also assumes the homosexual wire is closely related to the kill-joy one.
lol, I'm sure that if we had homosexuals here, calling their sexuality a disorder would get them squawking, but lets be honest... thinking an unproductive relationship is suitable certainly is a disorder.

But if you're gay and realise you love another person of your gender, but don't do anything about it, isn't that unproductive?

Who said being a homosexual has anything to do with crossed wires? I like watching baseball, does that mean I have a mixed up wire somewhere? The point I supposed I'm trying to make here is that none of us are homosexuals, (as far as we know.. I'm looking at you udoboy
) so how do we know its not a concious decision as opposed to a mental abnormality? -

I have a very close friend who is a lesbian, and I really don't believe that it's a conscious decision for most people. I think that there are some who make the decision either out of a desire to set themselves apart from the crowd or because of events that have happened in their past, but I honestly think that sometime in the near future, scientists are going to find evidence that there is a genetic component to sexual preference. Also, with all the persecution that most homosexual people have to endure, why would so many make that choice if there wasn't some other predisposition already in place?

To answer your first question BGoosh, MrFingers did.
I can't see homosexuality ever being a choice, who would willingly choose it if they were already straight?
I mean imagine yourself having sex with somebody of the same gender and it doesn't seem so plausible.

Then how do you explain the varying numbers of homosexuals around the world? There is another thread that points out that 10% of europeans are gay. What about, say, places in Africa, there is a significantly smaller amount of homosexuals in other regions around the world. I personally think 90% of homosexuals are so by choice or have become homosexual through childhood experience, not through wiring in the brain. If 'brain wiring' is what made people homosexual then the numbers of homosexuals throughout the world would all be around the same number.

I think you're more likely to be homosexual when sex is a luxury. For example, in more economically developed countries sex is exaggerated a hell of a lot, but in a place where sex is not emphasised as much, there may be less homosexuals, because sex is for reprodution, not pleasure. I mean who do you think is going to be more sexually active, a typical Californian teenager, or an African teenager that lives in poverty?
I once read a book that stated homosexual men are so because they have less testostrone than heterosexual men. and vice versa for women.
That would explain why homosexual men appear more feminine, as testostrone is the hormone that codes for masculine qualities, such as facial hair. Women and men both have testostrone, the levels are just alot higher in men, which is also why women have facial hair.....
If homosexuality is a choice, what makes people choose it? Do they have "crossed wires" that make them "choose" homosexuality?, if so is it really a choice? I mean if I was given a choice in my sexuality I know what i'd choose.
I may ask my biology teacher why gays are gay tommorrow!

You're right. Africans don't have sex! That's why the AIDS pandemic is worst there.
People in India... they don't have sex either! -

AIDS is worse there because of the high infant mortality rates in Africa, meaning parents have to have more children because most of them die, thus increasing how many times they have unprotected sex, increasing their risk of AIDS.

Many people don't know that there's a link between sex and pregnancy. Seriously.

no, it's just that you can easily get protection in other more developed countries so the person is less likely to get pregnant, but in less developed countries where they do not know about protection then they will just get pregnant easier.

And they need more children, as too many die before they're 5 years old.

No, I'm relating (indirectly) a true story where people went to foreign countries with an abnormally high birth rate, and showed the locals what a condom is, and how to use it. The people asked them why they should use such a thing, and the missionaries said, 'So you don't get have as many children.' The people were shocked to discover a link between sex and pregnancy. See, if you're having sex all the time, you may not catch on that the two are interrelated.
The people also had no idea that menstruation was somehow linked to pregnancy. That one I seriously don't understand, but hey whatever.

Maybe so, but you have to keep in mind it's not their fault. They have no schools, no libraries, no internet, No means of education, or at least any that I can think of.

well think of it like this, if you had nobody to tell you anything and you just had to work out everything by yourself or with others who do not know about anything.. would you find a link between all of these things?? you may think you would.. but remember that once you were a kid and never even knew where babies came from until someone told you
