Buddha1 said:"homosexuality (sic) is a biological failure."
"Two female macaque monkeys who are rubbing their thighs and vaginas together and shrieking with pleasure are not having sex with each other, they are just preparing to learn to have sex with the male --- or trying to attract the male --- just as two lesbians having it attract the 'macho'human male --- like they claim on nets --- like they show in the movies."
"The peacock tail is there so that it can attract the female!"
Just Shut the fuck up U brainless Bimbata.Buddha1 said:Same to you, son of an sheep, although I don't consider the term 'son of a goat' abuse. Animals are far better than humans.
These are specific examples.spuriousmonkey said:I meant: specific examples of people doing what you accuse them off, in the past and present.![]()
1. Spuriousmonkey: said "homosexuality is a biological failure".spuriousmonkey said:names, references, and a description what these specific people did.
Have you been living under a rock or something?In the modern world, religion lost hold and science became the most powerful institution. So the vested interest group got hold of it --- Darwin facilitated this hold in a big way! And that's where he becomes a villain. Men were not able to own up same-sex needs and defend them when the science cleverly further marginalised them in its own way
They and other social animals may also benefit from homosexuality/bisexuality because like I've already told you, it keeps the group together. Sex is a way to reaffirm ties to other members of society, it's a way to make amends, etc. Bonobos for example are a fully bisexual species, they are very peaceful, and they use sex to keep the peace. Not just with the opposite sex, but with the same sex.She argues that female macaques may enhance their social position through homosexual intimacy
That's all true. It has been tested and proven to be true. peakocks with big tails and brilliant colors ARE more healthey and have better genes than the others. Peahens DO choose peacocks with big tails/brilliant colors. Therefore the peacock tail exists so they can show off their better genes and attract females.2. Darwin: "Peacocks developed beautiful tails to attract females"
"Stags have developed antelers so he can fight for females and attract them".
"everything good in males exist so that they can show off their better genes to attract females"
It's a waste of time to discuss things with a vested interest group member, but here goes.TheAlphaWolf said:Have you been living under a rock or something?
first off, science is still not the most powerful institution. Just look at the elected officials, they were put there because of religion and crap, not because of science. People first listen to religion, and then to science.
And evolution did NOT facilitate science becoming more influential. It made it worse. It's probably THE most controversial scientific concept ever (outside of the scientific community). Why? because of religion. That is the one and only reason why not every single person in the world accepts evolution.
Oh please, darwin/evolution had NOTHING to do with homophobia or anything. It's all religion. Look at the bible, supposedly it says homosexuality is a sin and stuff. The marginalization of homosexuals has NOTHING to do with evolution and EVERYTHING to do with religion. Homosexuals had been marginalized since WAY before darwin was even born.
True that homosexuals had been marginalised as eunuchs and transvestites.TheAlphaWolf said:The marginalization of homosexuals has NOTHING to do with evolution and EVERYTHING to do with religion. Homosexuals had been marginalized since WAY before darwin was even born.
Rubbish, close same-sex bonds don't gel at all with sexual selection. Apparently, as in the western societies men and women are supposed to live in heterosexual societies where same-sex bonds are a useless phenomenon --- a waste of time and precious resources including genes, for nature which is so frugal!TheAlphaWolf said:They and other social animals may also benefit from homosexuality/bisexuality because like I've already told you, it keeps the group together. Sex is a way to reaffirm ties to other members of society, it's a way to make amends, etc. Bonobos for example are a fully bisexual species, they are very peaceful, and they use sex to keep the peace. Not just with the opposite sex, but with the same sex.
Yes, and its also a well known fact that pigs fly!TheAlphaWolf said:That's all true.
That beautiful tails which are part of a healthy peacock male, also make them more sought after for sex at the time of breeding doesn't at all mean that they are there only for attracting the female! That is a stupid excuse for a proof!TheAlphaWolf said:It has been tested and proven to be true. peakocks with big tails and brilliant colors ARE more healthey and have better genes than the others. Peahens DO choose peacocks with big tails/brilliant colors. Therefore the peacock tail exists so they can show off their better genes and attract females.
Same with stags. The stags with the bigger antlers are healthier, have better genes, and get the most females. What is so hard to understand about that?
Officially, yes. In practice? eehh...a.) Science is very powerful in most of the civilised and modern world. Most democracies base themselves on science not religion.
How is science enforcing heterosexuality? How is it marginalizing it? If anything science is more accepting, as we know homosexuality is not a choice (unlike fundies).taking over science to enforce heterosexualtiy (including homosexuality). In the case of male gender and sexuality religion and science both seek to marginalise it, both in their respective ways.
huh?c.) It is interesting that both Religion and science allowed non procreative sex with men to the homosexuals.
sex between straight men? right. Isn't the very definition of homo/bisexual being sexually attracted to men?In the days of religion, including in many Islamic countries, even though sex between straight men is punished even with death, eunuchs and transvestites (their own version of homosexuals) were allowed to have sex with men because they were considered more women than men.
Wrong. SCIENCE makes the distinction between sexual orientation and sexual identity. We have gone over this buddah. What part of it do you not comprehend?Science too has developed and slightly modified on the same group of transvestites and eunuchs and given it a new name --- 'homosexuals'. Science validates the existence of same-sex desires in this small group.
You're right. And I never said that same-sex bonds have ANYTHING to do with sexual selection. They do, however, have everything to do with natual selection.Rubbish, close same-sex bonds don't gel at all with sexual selection.
That has nothing to do with science. That's public opinion. That's culture. That's society. That is NOT science.Apparently, as in the western societies men and women are supposed to live in heterosexual societies where same-sex bonds are a useless phenomenon
again, to uneducated civilians, you're right. But that's not science. I've given you some examples of how homosexuality can be beneficial, and there are many more including the lizards where lesbian sex increases their fertility, the swans where babies raised by homosexual pairs survive better, etc.a waste of time and precious resources including genes, for nature which is so frugal!
Ok, what else are they for?That beautiful tails which are part of a healthy peacock male, also make them more sought after for sex at the time of breeding doesn't at all mean that they are there only for attracting the female! That is a stupid excuse for a proof!
OK, so there's variation. Some males are asexual. So what? THEY are strong and healthy because their parents DID play a role in sexual selection. The female chose the healthy strong male, and that is why they are like that.As a proof to the contrary I can also bring in evidence that suggests that many healthy, virile and beafutiful males --- sometimes the best of the pack, the alpha males --- don't breed at all in their lives, many of them breed occasionally...
No connection in nature is ALWAYS direct. Like I said, some stray from the rest. Does that invalidate it? no.apparently the connection between healthy genes and attracting females is not that direct.
Buddha1 said:Parish says, "Taking something that's nonreproductive, like mounting another female—if it leads to control of a resource or acquisition of a resource or a good alliance partner, that could directly impact your reproductive success."![]()
Leave alone other free world spaces. Take our own sciforum for example. Science rules here. And so does the marginalisation of same-sex bonds on the basis of 'darwinism'.TheAlphaWolf said:Officially, yes. In practice? eehh...
Well it is obvious that most men are not supposed to have a sexual need for other men because it flies in the face of Darwin's sexual selection.TheAlphaWolf said:How is science enforcing heterosexuality? How is it marginalizing it?
No it is not. Science clearly tells us that a minority of males with brains like that of women and genetic anomalies turn up that way! Homosexuals couldn't agree more!TheAlphaWolf said:If anything science is more accepting, as we know homosexuality is not a choice
I would say Darwinians can compete with the most ardent fundamentalists and fanatics in the world. Talk about blind faith!TheAlphaWolf said:(unlike fundies).
huh indeed! Come out of your 'sexual identities' and you will understand this world better!TheAlphaWolf said:huh?
Apparently you have either missed or never cared to participate in the long debates we had on the issues of sexual orientation and the words used by the west for male gender and sexuality.TheAlphaWolf said:sex between straight men? right. Isn't the very definition of homo/bisexual being sexually attracted to men?
Straight men don't have sex with other men, otherwise by definition they're not straight.
You obviously don't know. No law in a any traditional country ever recognises or talks about 'sex between homosexual men' or 'homosexuality'. They talk about 'sex between men'. Most have different set of laws for men and for the 'third sex', unless they were ruled by the westerners who don't recognise gender identities.TheAlphaWolf said:And if you look at the laws, they never say "sexual relations between straight men are prohibited, sexual relations between homosexuals aren't". In fact, HOMOSEXUALITY is illegal in those places.
Have we gone through it? I don't think you have even gone through the discussion on the 'gender is biological" thread.TheAlphaWolf said:Wrong. SCIENCE makes the distinction between sexual orientation and sexual identity. We have gone over this buddah. What part of it do you not comprehend?
If we believe Darwin ses is only about sexual selection and about reproduction.TheAlphaWolf said:You're right. And I never said that same-sex bonds have ANYTHING to do with sexual selection. They do, however, have everything to do with natual selection.
A close, peaceful group is more likely to survive than a group where the males are always fighting each other, where there's no peace and they're not close to each other.
That is Darwinism for you! Heterosexuality draws strength and sustenanence from Darwinism. Otherwise there was no way science could reject same-sex needs in the majority of men.TheAlphaWolf said:That has nothing to do with science. That's public opinion. That's culture. That's society. That is NOT science.
So Spuriousmonkey, the alleged development biologist is 'uneducated civilian'? *I didn't even know that non-scientists are known as civilians!TheAlphaWolf said:again, to uneducated civilians, you're right. But that's not science. I've given you some examples of how homosexuality can be beneficial, and there are many more including the lizards where lesbian sex increases their fertility, the swans where babies raised by homosexual pairs survive better, etc.
No we haven't gone over this before. You said something. I refuted it. Then we were supposed to take this discussion outside but then unfortunately it couldn't materialise.TheAlphaWolf said:and we've gone over this before. I guess you're right, "It's a waste of time to discuss things with a vested interest group member"
You obviously don't listen to what others have to say.
Buddha1 said:One of them is that "95% of men have a sexual interest in other men"
The other is that "Gender is (also) biological"
We have shown how the western terms of "heterosexual', 'homosexual', 'straight' and 'gay' are misleading and confusing.
I'll respond to that from quotes from a scientific source, in a little while.TheAlphaWolf said:Ok, what else are they for?
What if quite a few parents have healthy, virile and beautiful males who choose not to mate or to mate with men, while their less endowed sons seem to be over eager to mate with females?TheAlphaWolf said:OK, so there's variation. Some males are asexual. So what? THEY are strong and healthy because their parents DID play a role in sexual selection. The female chose the healthy strong male, and that is why they are like that.
a.) Let's take the example of mouth? Does the fact that mouth is used to eat can be taken to mean that mouth is only meant for eating? What about speaking?TheAlphaWolf said:There are also people who are deaf. Does that mean that ears, eardrums, and all the other parts involved in hearing really aren't meant for hearing?
Wait, let me ask you! You are a scientist and a die hard Darwinan!TheAlphaWolf said:No connection in nature is ALWAYS direct. Like I said, some stray from the rest. Does that invalidate it? no.
Yes, there are people who never have babies. Does that mean that the uterus, testicles, and other reproductive organs are NOT for having babies?
Let me ask you something... what's the percentage of "healthy, virile and beafutiful males --- sometimes the best of the pack, the alpha males [that] don't breed at all in their lives"???
Oh! Happeh, Spuriousmonkey, Leopold and Blindman the gang!spuriousmonkey said:We have established that:
1. you have shown nothing.
2. 80% of men are heterosexual.
3. you are confused.
Buddha1 said:a.) Let's take the example of mouth? Does the fact that mouth is used to eat can be taken to mean that mouth is only meant for eating? What about speaking?
Buddha1 said:b.) Can we say that the mouth is primarily for eating, if let's say hypothetically -- in quite in a few number of cases, there was no need to use mouth for eating and it was used only for speaking.
References, sources??? Your fantasies do not count.Buddha1 said:c.) There is a direct relationship between sexual organs and reproduction. But to say that antlers or tails too are primarily 'sexual organs' is a bit too far-fetched. You will need really strong proofs to establish that especially since many scientists have started to question Darwin's 'sexual selection'.
Buddha1 said:And to suggest that everything that comprise a male, including his emotional nature is essentially made to allow him to mate iwth a female --- is stretching things too far.
You are just stupid. It's much worse.Buddha1 said:Wait, let me ask you! You are a scientist and a die hard Darwinan!
Are you aware how many mammalian species there are, and how much difference there is in their behavioural and reproductive patterns? fuck no of course. Buddha1 is too fucking lazy to open a book.Buddha1 said:What percentage of "healthy virile and beautiful males" amongst mammals mate even once in their lives? how many do it regularly?
Buddha1 said:My views are not the accepted view of science and they do not rule the world. Darwinism does! And they must be able to prove themselves to the world without any doubt! Because its been over a century that we have been following it without it being fully validated.
