Yeah, has anyone seen the movie "Gattaca" here at the Pit? It's a perfect example of how genetic pre-determination runs amok.

There is such a thing called free will. And unless our mental capacity is clouded by illness, we should be held accountable for our actions.

Well if it is a born trait then surely we should be sentencing people to prison whilst they are still in the womb!

That doesn't mean we should allow excessive anger issues to persist,

Morphine: you chose to alter my meanings as well. you downplay my definition of "I can't imagine" to something at paltry as aversion to abhorrent actions. which is entirely untrue. i cannot imagine the act i described.. its IMPOSSIBLE! to paraphrase you.

also, when i say narrowminded, its not to say you are not intelligent, but more that you are to focused. i am not calling you stupid or in any way attempting to insult you. but that does not preclude that you are narrow in your thinking. just because you have not heard of something, does not in any way mean its not happened before. so saying "never" in not a good thing for you to think.

anyways, i have had just about enough topics involving gays.. they do not warrant near as much time as we are dedicating to them. there are far more important issues we could be discussing. i can never understand how any topic that remotely involves gay issue can dominate so much time. they just are not worth it.

anyways, lets see if we can finish 2005 without bringing up so offensive a topic again shall we?

Orpheus, I agree.

Sorry for doing my part to derail this thread. I usually tend to keep away from internet debates, but I let myself go on that one. I'm not sure if these needs saying, but I absolutely meant no disrespect in any of my posts. Sometimes it's hard to convey things like calmness or sincerity over the internet.

Back to the original topic, for some reason I'm not that surprised to hear of one kid beating up and killing another. I am surprised that he did so in a public area and no one stopped him. Unless the whole thing was over in 3 seconds, that's just inexplainable.

Tell me about it, most think i am some kind of animal that stalks unwary gays and slays them at will

its not gay people, its homosexuality. i do not hate people who are racist, i hate racism. i know many,many people who are racist, who cause no harm what-so-ever. they are simply of the mind, that races should remain distinct, and blending them such as making children is a sin. i never could understand the thinking but as long as they are not killing, or harming each other in their beliefs i have no real issues with their racism..

to paraphrase these gay supporters own words.. being a racist does not mean you are evil or doing anything wrong.. in other words, they are not harming anyone in their belief.

i do believe there are racist who do harm, as well as gays who do harm, but it has nothing to do with how i feel about the concepts as a whole.

No news so far. The newspaper is focused on the conclave at this moment.

I guess I was right. The conclave was quite efficient this time. The new Pope Benedict XVI is now enthroned. [addsig]

I wanted another pope "Urban" or "Ignacius." All this Benedict stiff makes me think of Eggs Benedict. Ovum Benedictus. [addsig]

I was pulling for KRSPope... I'll agree that Benedict sucks, though.
