The Gay Thread

Quote: Evenbob

Gee whiz, maybe that's because they're not. What they are is barometers of the society we live in. Every society has them, every time period has them. Mark my words French kissing as it used to be called will one day be something people don't do anymore. It's a fad, like cigarette smoking was a fad. Go back to the 1950s and tell people there's a time coming when almost nobody's going to be smoking. They would laugh you out of the room.

The health effects of kissing are comparable to smoking? I doubt we'll ever see the evidence. Any more than if you live with someone you're more likely to be exposed to things you might not contact yourself. That's not going to slow people down living together.

Another bad bet.

Also, on the oral cancer thing. Seeing your dentist regularly is the best way to avoid that. It's highly treatable caught early.

If two married people kissing is dangerous, surely you don't think them having unprotected sex is safe? Might as well give that up to.

There's these funny links to disease and sex. Must not be all that clean either. You can get micro tears, and swap some blood. Who knows.

Better just live in your cabin alone.

Here's one.

Eating your wife's placenta

Go watch.

Random Fun (or disturbing) Fact, eating a placenta is considered cannibalism. Which is actually legal in most of America (like everything it varies by State).

Of course most notorious people who engage in it (or attempt to) murder or attempt to obtain parts in an prohibited manner (which is why they get caught), but some people allow it (their parts to be eaten). In some states you can remove part of your body or donate your body after you are dead (suicide is of course illegal, so you have to know you are on the way out), and allow designated people to eat it (consent). But, if you obtain body parts (or organs) legally, and have consent, in many States consuming human meat is legal.

Eating a placenta is a tradition I will never understand, its just bizarre, gross factor aside....

Also, animal sacrifice is legal in America (protected by the First Amendment), as long as it is done "humanely", something else that I find insane to still be legal.... (This I actually found out from a local news report the other day when the local police were explaining why they could not charge a certain group for killing their animals in a certain place for a ritual, and upon further research the police were actually right).
(To be honest I find this more disturbing than the above statement, I think I even made a joke in the religious thread not long ago, about how absurd animal sacrifice would be in the modern world, but I am totally wrong, even in the U.S. , gotta love religion, just when you think people were already at an all time insanity level....).

Adam Carolla predicts that in a couple of generations you will be bullied, picked on, and beaten up if you are not bisexual. I don't think so. I also think this new Gay Superman is not going to be accepted. No matter how hard you try and jam that lifestyle down people's throats it's a fact that only 2% of the population is Gay. That barely classifies as a minority. It's more like a blip on the screen. Of course gay people think the number is much higher because they deal with so many Gay people. I used to ask black people in my taxi all the time what percentage of the population in the United States is black and not one of them ever even came close. The actual answer is 12%. They would guess 25% 35% 40% because in their neighborhoods that's all they see is other black people. Sometimes they would call me a liar when I told them it was only 12%.

If you get into the creative arts you're going to see a lot of Gay people and they're going to think there's a lot more Gay people out there than there are because they are surrounded by them everyday.

There's no telling what the future holds as there is no physical reason most people cannot be bisexual: fellatio or cunnilingus is open to everybody.

No,the deciding factor will be whether cultural and societal mores change with the times to reflect broader acceptance and adoption of bisexuality.

Oh no. I hope this fictional character doesn’t get bullied too badly. :(

Hard to say. Today in pop culture you are shunned if you do not say how great it is to be gay. I can easily see gays making it out so that if you are not at least "curious" that there is something wrong with you. That you should "try it out" to see if it is for you. Women will fall for such a thing first, not wanting to "be mean" to bi or lesbian women. Then beta males will fall in line.

I'd give it at least 50/50.

Bah ha ha. Are you sure gays are pushing this?

Try it out! Gays were trying out being straight for years as if that would work.

Looking at their message I am positive.
