I never said it was only either or. It's not black and white. Any simile or metaphor about this complicated subject would be a disastrous oversimplification. It's more of a scale with gay on one end and straight on the other. Some people land on the poles, others somewhere in between. This is of course an oversimplification as well, but you get the point.
If you can choose, that is awesome for you. You are a bisexual individual and I congratulate you on coming out of ...
Of course you can, but you cannot choose who you are attracted to. You cannot go downtown and simply think to yourself: "Tonight I want to be attracted to men" and the next night think to yourself: "That was interesting, now I want to be attracted to women". I was born straight. I am attracted to women. My cousin was born gay. He is attracted to his husband. Neither one of us can "choose" to be attracted to the other gender.
Hi Snake, Thank you for your comment.
Let's start off by dissecting your "argument". A quick summary of your comment would be "I don't feel like it's natural. I think it is a choice and therefore it is. If you don't agree with me, then something is wrong with you."
Not only do you fail to point to any studies or empirical evidence to support your view, but your writing is also plagued with false statements and blatant lies. You stat...
Glad to see the discussion that has formed on this vid. Mission accomplished, I'd say. :-)
I do think it's worrying to see people state that homosexuality is a choice however, as it shines a light on the need for discussion and education on the matter. Homosexuality is not a choice, not by any means. Even though science has yet to pinpoint exactly what it is that leads to homosexual tendencies, most research on the matter seems to suggest it is caused by a hormonal pr...
Touché
It's better to have to re-download than to lose the games forever. A little over a year ago, I emigrated from Iceland to Denmark and a few of my disks broke in transit. The games I had on steam I re-downloaded. My console games, however... No such luck.
Of course both have their pros and cons and having a retail copy is always nice, but after my experience, I'm a firm supporter of the digitalisation of video game distribution.
Funny?
Funny!?
Have you got any idea how long I tried to pronounce Garlic Sauce in Dutch correctly!? And you call it FUNNY!?!?!
I wholeheartedly agree with you that Games are the number one concern when it comes to a console, but I must take issue with your analogy of the car.
Things breaking down is very normal. One of the two USB ports on my PS3 has already ceased functioning and I'm not complaining about that. After all, the thing is 4 years old. But this is not like the cup holder breaking or the cigarette lighter not heating up anymore, this is more like representatives of the car company sho...
In my opinion, their obligations lie with the consumer. It is ultimately the consumer that controls the corporation's fate, not the 3rd party developers. We are the ones who finance them. Without us, they crumble. Without good games, no one buys their console, but if no one buys their console, developers won't make games for their system. It is a delicate balance, I know, but the key ingredient is still the consumer.
I agree that Sony needed to nip piracy in the bud, ...
I am not a pirate, but thanks for bringing the subject up. I think I'll make it the subject of next week's episode.
As you bring the subject of GeoHot up, may I remind you that he only sought to bring back the OtherOS feature. Other hackers then used his work to enable piracy. As he himself stated in an interview with G4, he tried to circumvent the security measures blocking the OtherOS without enabling people to play pirated games.
I'm a Linux geek. I dual-boot bo...
Nice Podcast you've got going there. Great listen...
Here's one study that deals heavily with the hormonal influence of sexual desires: < http://books.google.dk/book...
This one is old (1940) and one must bear in mind that homosexuality was considered a mental disorder (much like you describe it) until 1973 in America, so some of the language would be considered prejudiced today. It focuses on homosexuality and interse...
