"but, if i may ask, what is the point of this poll?Homosexuals only make up a very small percentage of society {i think i heard that it is 6% or something like that}"
other estimates are even lower: but the question is: how is the percentage in Nation states.
I assume the number of homosexuals at nation states much higher than the percentage in the average population.
The result of the poll so far seems to prove my impression.

if human beings follow the same pattern as our closest genetic relatives then less than 1/10th of the population could chose one of those options...we are pretty much all bisexuals, we just become conditioned to view sexuality as an all-or-none game.

I'm not sure there's any 'or' in our sexual conditioning, unless it's "straight-or-straight". No wonder only 6% of the population is gay. Does anyone know where that statistic came from, by the way?

Where did you hear that? From an evolutionary POV, it would cut the chances of reproduction in half, making it very unlikely.

nope. among primates an individual is more likely to successfully raise offspring to mating age if they are bisexual, because it increases the social bonds within a group and therefore the likely number of caregivers. people need to remember that it doesn't help to just pump out babies if none of those babies get old enough to reproduce themselves, so you have to take into account factors that increase the survival of the young.

also, survival of the parent is increased by bisexuality (for similar reasons), and this allows them to enjoy more mating seasons.

it's pretty cool stuff, actually, and the fastest growing primate populations in the wild right now show levels of bisexuality reaching at least 50%, most of them up all the way to 100%.

If social bonds mattered to you, you'd be anarcho-communist, which places more emphasis on social bonds than capitalism.

i said social bonds are important for procreation. i'm not planning to have children. not to mention that i am not anarcho-commie because i think it's a warped value system and has nothing to do with my ability to form and value social bonds....but that's a whole other topic ;).

Oh, dear. Not to enter into a grammar-picking debate, but the things you pointed out aren't errors.

1) The first "are" is in reference to the subject "spelling and grammar." The "and" makes the subject plural. If s/he had said "spelling or grammar," then "is" would be correct.

2) The second "are" is not in reference to the term "second grader," but rather in reference to the subject, "those." Again, a plural subject, so the verb is correct.

The only minor error is that "second grader" should have been hyphenated. Not a terribly big deal.

I am straight, If you wanted to know.

No I didn't want to know! Infact I don't think it's anybody's business what kind of sexual preference someone has!

Btw, if you would think a bit 'straight' in your head you wouldn't have made such a stupid poll in the first place!

So just take your little naive poll to a porn site where people actually care about your frustrations!

That's all I have to say about this folks 8) , take care all, ciao :wink:

wow, you are a sad little boy, are you? somebody needs a hug...

talking about sexuality is very different from pornography, and people who can't understand the difference are generally just bitter and repressed, or they're frightened children who don't know how to deal with their own blooming sexuality.

I estimate that I'm about 99% heterosexual. I think my unusual lack of homosexual tendencies may be part of the reason I'm more secure in my sexuality than most men.

It totally disgusts me to think that there is people like that in this world. In my nation these types don't hang around to long.

In my nation, those whose grammar and spelling are worse then the average second grader are encouraged to get special counseling.

Wee! :P

Oh, dear. Not to enter into a grammar-picking debate, but the things you pointed out aren't errors.

1) The first "are" is in reference to the subject "spelling and grammar." The "and" makes the subject plural. If s/he had said "spelling or grammar," then "is" would be correct.

2) The second "are" is not in reference to the term "second grader," but rather in reference to the subject, "those." Again, a plural subject, so the verb is correct.

The only minor error is that "second grader" should have been hyphenated. Not a terribly big deal.

Class is ended. :P

Class quickly resumes! Since we're correcting all of Liberals' deliberate mistakes (not even liberals are intentionally that dumb :lol: ) we might want to say that "then" should be "than," the proper word for comparisons.

Further corrections:
"In my nation, those whose grammar and spelling are worse then the average second-grader are encouraged to get special counseling."




And, following the stereotype... "GRAMMAR HEIL!!"

Okay, Hakartopia and Mezzaluna, let me repost this interchange and see if you can spot the irony this time around:

It totally disgusts me that there is people like that in this world. In my nation, these types don't hang around to long.

In my nation, those whose grammar and speling am worse then the average second gradder is encouraged to get special counseling.

I do thank you for your well-meaning corrections, but it was intentional.

Whoops! My mistake for not looking up the original post! I saw the bold entries and thought that's what he was trying to correct, not what he had already had corrected. D'oh. Serves me right for not going back and looking, and for being such a goldurn know it all.

*Wins the st00pid award.* :P


Yeah, and I missed the then/than, too. Damn.

I am as straight as one of Robin hood's arrows..

And frankly, i dont give a damn about other peoples sexual preferences, they do not affect me, i am happy as i am and in the way live my life, if otyhers dont like that, well, it is their problem.. here we have a saying: "Even that which you dont eat makes you ill"

Meaning that you are foaming in the mouth all rabid because someone else you dont even know does not share your same sexual preference is rather, in my opinion, quite stupid (of course, the saying applies for many different things).

Yeah, it wqas more like 40% when this poll started. And haven't we already had the 'bisexual and just plain sexual' conversation several times already?

if human beings follow the same pattern as our closest genetic relatives then less than 1/10th of the population could chose one of those options...we are pretty much all bisexuals, we just become conditioned to view sexuality as an all-or-none game.

Are you sure about that? Not that I care either way; I'm just curious. Is it based on any science or more a case of speculation?

I'd have to pick just plain sexual, but for the sake of the poll I picked homosexual. At the same time that does not mean that I would never date someone of the opposite gender. Labels really kinda suck. Also, there's this one system that classifies one's sexual preference from 1 to 6, 1 being completely straight and 6 being completely gay. According to whoever created this [I am not a history buff so I don't know] no one person unless they are just really odd are either a 1 or a 6. Most gay persons have straight tendencies every now and then, and most straight persons have the same tendencies towards those of the same gender.
In fact it's probably because of this that many people [sorry to point you out, I mean nothing by it at all, but..usually straight males] are so insecure about their sexuality. Also, it is usually the really anti-gay people and homophobes who end up being gay. *stares at Oppressed Nations*

If not, we would all be nicely labeled and divided.

That's most likely because of the lack of options. I don't think this poll is a fair representation at all.

i'm straight, but, if i may ask, what is the point of this poll?Homosexuals only make up a very small percentage of society {i think i heard that it is 6% or something like that} :tantrum: The percentage of homosexuals maybe 6% but would be much better being nearer to 0%. It totally disgusts me to think that there is people like that in this world. In my nation these types don't hang around to long.

People like you are a waste of air.

Too bloody right. I don't like the idea of homosexuality, but that doesn't give me, or anyone else, the right to discriminate. I play music, so obviously I know a lot of gay people, and evvery single one is a delight to talk to. How dare you have the gall to insult others and demand that they change when clearly you're the one that needs to do so. Get with the modern world, it's called tolerance, which I find a very difficult thing to possess with people like you around. It would be better if the population of bigomists was closer to 0%.
