Kennas!

What you closed down the GAY thread (sorry Julia ''THE HOMOSEXUAL THREAD):eek:I didn't have a chance to read the end of it due to work .Well Shim had his moment of glory:p:
 
Although a subject like homosexuality makes a lively discussion. People's views, opinions and experiences needed to be acknowledged.

A topic such as this does need to be handled with care.

Unfortunately that didn't happen and I thought many participants were basically told they are wrong, including myself.

Which is ironic given I have a couple of degrees in the social sciences and one thing I know for sure is that human nature is not an exact science.
 
We should have a Saturday Topic more often ,it's a shame the Homosexual one went pear shape I'm still getting over Kennas sticking his tongue down somr Trani's throat and JESSICA WABBITT being a male:eek:see what interesting things we find out on a lazy Saturday Arvo:popcorn:

With your background SMJ, you may be interested in something I found:

The baldness gene is passed on by females from their father.
Is homosexuality also passed on in genes by females?


Why homosexuality hasn’t become extinct

Italian scientists have come up with an explanation for the puzzle as to why homosexuality, if it is hereditary, has not been eliminated from the gene pool to date, despite the fact that gay people are less likely to reproduce than heterosexuals.

Andrea Camperio-Ciani, an evolutionary psychologist at the University of Padova, says that homosexuality in males may be caused in part by genes that can increase fertility in females.

He says that a study on about 200 Italian families conducted in 2004 showed that mothers, aunts, and maternal grandmothers of gay men were more fecund than average.

These genes work in a sexually antagonistic way — that means that when they're represented in a female, they increase fecundity, and when they're represented in a male, they decrease fecundity. It's a trait that benefits one sex at the cost of the other.

If the same genes lead to both homosexuality in men and increased fertility in women, any loss in offspring that come about from the males would be made up for by the females of the family.

He believes that the genes his team modelled might cause people of both sexes to be extremely attracted to men, thereby causing men to pursue relationships with other men, and women to have more sexual partners and become pregnant slightly more often than an average woman.

Such a phenomenon could not lead to homosexuality in women.

"We're still working on lesbianism, but were not getting to the same result, and possibly we'll come out with a completely different explanation," he said.

Kennas, I am with Julia here. :(

It wasn't the nature of the topic being discussed, I thought that was done quite well; it was, well, you did rather attack Julia (and probably others) almost as if they had no right to bring up the arguments they did. Because you hinted that you wanted some kind of explanation, for a question you didn't really ask, and then you got antsy because you thought that no-one had answered properly. And that anything other than what you wanted, shouldn't have been posted. Which caused people such as myself to query what was going on, because you don't normally do that kind of thing.

Psychologists don't try to make people feel better about themselves by the way! They try to explore why people say, do and think the way they do. Which sometimes make people feel better, sometimes not. ;)

I really did enjoy the topic, so keep them happening, but maybe make it easier for us next time? :eek:
 
I am a bit amazed that other than MRC & Co no one has commented on Kennas change of mood he is not the same old Kennas.

Kennas what snapped Saturday? Are you OK?

This thread yes, point was Kennas has been in the past from what I have read been very consistent in that he hasn't attacked people......Much........now I am sure I'll get 200 examples.

Perhaps some thing has changed.

My attempt of being supportive rather than attacking symptoms
