If you genetics and environment/ experiences control your choices, is it really a choice?
How do some people escape the poverty, crime and violence of the inner cities while some don't?
I agree that environment (a pedophile) could cause some to pursue homosexuality, but I do think there's a genetic causation / weakness for many.

I’m sick and tired of grown men acting like pussies.

OweO is a great poster....
Sorry, I just couldn’t say that with a straight face.

Ronald Reagan was the worst president in the history of our country.
Worse than Jimmy Carter? That's a pretty bold statement. Many consider him to be one of the best presidents, which I don't agree with, but the worst president..
Damn. I think his influence on the direction of the Cold War was pretty important and that alone keeps him from being the worst president. He did come into office when the economy was in a recession and because of that, the impact he single-handedly had is debatable. And this will cause people to flip the frick out, but if you look at where the economy was when he took office to where it was when he left out of office, it can be compared to where the economy was when Obama took office and where it was when he left office, so both deserve the same credit if you are looking at it from strictly a presidential role view point.

Different genetics, environments, and experiences.

You misunderstood my point.
You admit that genetics can control your sexuality, but don’t acknowledge how much genetics and our environment control our choices.
You said it’s still their choice to act upon their sexuality, but if they are genetically predisposed to act upon, is it really a choice?

Hitler did not die in his bunker and lived out the rest of his life in Argentina.
Though I don't really think that is an opinion these days.

(with that said, there are a lot of people in all age groups who are influenced to vote one way rather than them voting making their own decisions), but yeah, at least have some life experience under your belt first.
So my unpopular opinion is that voting in this country is pointless. When you have only 2 major parties which are far more alike than different, you're just wasting your time.
The hot button issues that people get so worked up about are just window dressing and there to distract you from where you're really getting fricked.

I'm also ok with abortion rights because there are too many fricking people on this planet as it is.
And according to this Freakonomics article, the drop in crimes that started in the 90s can be directly contributed to the legalization of abortion.

If it was a black and white issue and I was asked my thoughts on abortion, I would say I was pro-life.. But it's not a black and white issue so my view is. Woman have the right to make the decision for themselves, I don't think the government should tell them what they can or can't do.
If someone came to be for advice, I would suggest they consider having the child and giving it up for adoption, but humans(and I think maybe dolphins) are the only animals on earth that has sex for pleasure so because of that there will be accidental pregnancies and if it happens to a woman and she feels she is not at all in the right place to even go through a pregnancy.. Who am I to tell her different?

Reagan was a puppet. He was a professional actor.

I think the transgenderism is a mental issue.
I think Gay/Lesbian is a mental issue. This is not a hate idea as I have coworkers and friends who fall in those slots. Also it does not bother me to do business with them or anything like that.
My beliefs are rooted in Darwinism and survival. Essentially no other animal type in the world has homosexual behaviors in adults. Anything beyond the act to procreate is against the laws of nature to do so. We do however get mentally trained or calibrated into what stimulates us. I dont know what changed these peoples programming but I dont believe it is genetic. I am old enough now that I dont really care anymore... jut dont tell me you were born that way.

If their only income is welfare or government assistance, than all their "buys" are paid for by the government, and not themselves. They aren't taxpayers.

We are at a point in our society where most discrimination laws are unnecessary.
What restaurant of any consequence would have a "whites only" rule if the discrimination laws were repealed? Someone won't take your money because you are minority, gay, etc. Someone else will.

In intelligent beings I think it is. I feel this way because alcholism runs in my certain strain and body type in my family (tall and lean even into old age) over several generations.
When you see how alcholics / addicts overcome their addiction it's through abstinence. They'll say the desire remains but it's through sheer will of mind that they abstain, so it's their choice.
And while it's certainly not conclusive evidence, I know a young adult (35ish) who I would bet my life is gay who appears to have chosen celibacy - and people do, gay or not. People also choose to remain monogamous when they could just as easily give in to their desires to do otherwise. But what do I know?
I'm just glad if there's a higher power who judges us on such matters he'll take everything into account.

What gives them that will?
And why do they have the will and others don’t?

Mine is something I have said before, but I don't like Donald Trump. It has nothing to do with political party, because I am a registered Republican, but over the past 5 years or so I have started to consider myself independent. In summary, I just don't think he is good for this country.
I concur with your opinion. Have an upvote.
