You get up and look around. Beside you, you see ye old flask on a table. There is a haystack, a toilet, and a barred door. You think you're in prison, what do you do?
so has considered the possibility of connecting greece and smyrna in the classica with a land border using the chain of island pictured on the map. There is precedent in denmark-sweden for such a connection. What effect would it have on Turkey, Italy, and Austria
A player has had to leave the site due to a medical emergency and he has two positions that need replacing. The games are early and the positions are decent.
I'd like there to be a double elimination tournament on webdip using an everyones a winner variant. All victory conditions at the beginning of the game are anyone who gains a supply center wins.

John Kasich a Republican Presidential candidate even has common sense to figure this out. I really doubt people just wake up one day an say "hmm let me just get gay".
My point was that I think it's pretty mainstream to believe gay people aren't gay because they chose to be but because they were born that way, so I doubt this will lead to any discussion. I can't speak peterlund. As far as I'm concerned we talk about things we don't research all the time and I don't see why we wouldn't.
steephie, I dont believe that conservatives and religious people believe God would make someone gay. In fact the majority of the Republican candidates Trump, Cruze both want to repeal the Defense of Marriage act allowing LGBT Marriages.
Multiple webdip members support Trump now over Hillary. I think this is a political, religious and scientific issue. If science can certifiably prove gay people dont choose to be gay surely broad sweeping reforms of the Republican party would happen.
There are studies that show less than 5% of all people are 90% Straight or more.
If being gay were a choice, there'd be a lot more gay people. You aren't encumbered by traditional relationship standards regarding monogamy and gender roles, and you aren't pressured to have kids (or have to worry about them happening by accident). Gay people have more fun. Look it up.
No one should object to sexual preference on the homo/het spectrum whether it's entirely a choice, entirely genetically determined, entirely a product of prenatal/infant environment, or any combination of the above and other factors.
With that said, the evidence I'm aware of points to some combination of genetics and gestation, with limited (if any) influence from the environment after that and the agency of the person in question.
“We were shocked when we ran the data,” says Edmund Bergler, the lead researcher on the project. "But we controlled for every variable. We triple-checked every calculation. And it turned out that eating grits makes your kids gay.” After investigating further, the scientists discovered that chemical processing of grits creates a substance called homotonin, which acts as a free radical inside a man’s testes and damages his sperm’s DNA. That DNA damage is passed onto the child and researchers believe it is responsible for the later development of homosexuality."
In this moment a 'scientific' (yeah, y not?) hypothesis is ocurring to me, but its so incorrect, politically, that I'm forced to conclude that this subject has the same share of politics than it has of science...
steephie, your condescension in no way advances the topic
My opinion: I have no doubt that there are those born with same-sex attractions. However, I have even less doubt that there are some "homosexual" people who were actually indoctrinated by society to believe they like their own sex, especially the adopted children of same-sex couples.
I don't think being gay is a choice, but I don't know either if you're born destined to be gay. Could there be environmental influences? Something in the womb (which I guess would mean you were born gay, but it's not something set in stone). It's an interesting topic.
During early adolescence, teenagers can become sexually curious and exploratory. During this time, a society that normalizes gay relationships can cause such a teenager to mistake that he or she is homosexual.
Leon, you begin your statement by normalizing sexual curiosity in teenagers (and rightly so) and then follow it up by suggesting that normalizing sexual curiosity and sexual relationships in teenagers will lead them to think they're something they actually aren't. Pick your poison.
ENGLAND'S ABOUT TO MISS HIS TURN AND IT'S STILL FALL 1901! THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED THE LAST GAME AND WE MADE A NEW ONE TO KEEP THE BALANCE!! SAVE US MODS PLEASE!! gameID=178119
Someone just gave me a "Twinkie", the celebrated American processed "cake" product.
It was disgusting. Horrible, sickly, artificial, processed crap. I'd hardly justify calling it a "cake" at all. Why do Americans like these vile things?
