O'Patti:
Hi Tallyman,
Thanks for the response to my post.
You're Velcome, O'Patti
Of course, you're very sharp.
I don't know, but some say I "have an axe to grind..."
However, you implied a whole lot more to my short answer--actually added much that i did not say nor imply.
Now O'Patti, YOU are sharp enuff to notice that almost everything
I wrote to you in response, ended in a 'question mark' - that symbol - '?'
And this whole thread started with a question:
"what do you think?"... an open invitation to share thoughts,
and raise even more questions, which is what I tried to do.
In a nutshell, my opinion was that it was none of my business what people do in private. I meant the actual sex, not that they couldn't openly state what they are.
When they "openly state" ... "in private" goes out the window,
and lands in the public square.
I believe my explanation of the bonobo chimps was clear. The point being that homosexuality exists in nature (in more than one species), so therefore it's probably part of the genetic makeup of humans to be that way also.
Since, like many here have remarked, humans are animals, too.
Just a bit more advanced than some of the other animals.
Was that your point?
(notice the '?' mark)
I didn't refer to pedophilia; my comments were directed to consenting adults.
Yes, I know. I raised that question among Bonobo Chimps.
Can they commit pedophilia?
Man Chimp molests Adolescent Chimp?
Would there be repercussions if the Chimp Group found out that
one of the lecherous old man chimps was wanging on one of the innocent
boy chimps, uhhh, "initiating" him, before he was "of age"?
Would the Molester Pedophile Bonobo Chimp be cast out of the group?
I have no comments on bestiality (which is off topic anyway) other than it's probably indicative of a very sick mentality.
Why?
If you hold that humans are animals... it would just be a Higher Animal
having sex with a Lower Animal... and giving "consent" between the
two animals would not be that hard to communicate and interpret.
Nablus said it was irrelevant, but if humans are animals,
and have sex with other (lesser?) animals, it is very relevant.
And if humans are animals, why would having sex with a beast (lower animal)
reflect a "sick mentality"?
I don't care which law of the land--it's a superfluous point anyway, imo.
No, it's not, honeybunch!
If you're in Singapore and Put your Weenie in the Wong Place...
they probably will hang you by your Weenie!
If in the Netherlands, the Dutchies' "Laws" will let you do pretty much
whatever you wish to do with your weenie. They permit you to put it
in any orifice you want - a little girl's vagina, a little boy's mouth,
or anus, or in a rabbit, or in a rabbit hole, or anywhere-
just stop by the coffee shop and smoke plenty of dope first.
I did notice that you took only about 10 words of my post and elaborated on those to a post much longer than my original.
Isn't "elaborating" the whole purpose of this forum?
Didn't you leave yourself Open to Elaboration?
Don't I ask a lot of questions???
Please don't put words in my mouth.
Didn't you notice all my questions?
I assure you, I'm not going to put ANYTHING in your mouth,
even if you give me your consent!
Enjoy your day.
Pat
And you too, O'Patti.
