This thread has done exactly what I had intended it to do, become a discussion of terminology rather than what is and what is not, you see there was a huge misunderstanding when I labeled homosexuality unnatural, because people associate unnatural with being wrong - which is far from the case it is unnatural for white parents to have a black child but it is not wrong for them to do so, just means the child was adopted or the Mrs had an affair.

Now when I say homosexuality is unnatural you can argue it is in nature but I specifically state that homosexuality is unnatural in the sense of reproduction it is unnatural to have sex with the same gender and reproduce, you can also argue that "asexual" animals exist but guess what - if they are reproducing alone it is pretty safe to say they are neither homosexual or heterosexual, now focusing on the actual point I have tried to make.

Terminology is key, I had a 40 minute conversation with Arcade on skype about this exact subject afterwards it was established that he had misinterpreted my definition because homosexuality is a very personal issue to himself.

Funny is it not? How as Jedi "There is no emotion, there is peace" we let ourselves make snap judgements and react based on our emotion - something we are all guilty of.


P.S. If you're going to continue trying to debate with me about homosexuality being unnatural, feel free to do so in a one on one conversation via Skype as I probably won't read this thread again.

It was nice being able to talk about this with you, Metsu, and I now understand where you are coming from. You are making a good point here, and I don't want to diminish or take away from that, but I wanted to be clear that I still have differing thoughts on the issues we discussed, terminology aside. Agreeing to disagree, as we did, was a good compromise, and I appreciate you taking the time to explain your thoughts in detail.

I was asexual in college for a little while. But not by choice.

If you want a discussion about something with a very specific view on what the terminology you are using is, then you need to state the definition of the words you are using at the beginning...

I agree. If someone had sex with someone of the same gender and reproduced then it would be 'unnatural' (whatever you mean that to mean), but that isn't what homosexuality is or does. Therefore how in your view is it unnatural? (using your own definitions?)
