Where is the data to support the claim that "becoming gay could also be due to bad heterosexual relationships?" What is the factual basis to support the claim that homo-sexuals become homo-sexuals because they can't meet someone of the opposite sex, like when they are in prison, or just can't get a date?
peacegirl, this is what studying claims looks like. Why are you so hostile to it?

I'm not hostile to it. I believe he said this to show that when the environmental conditions change no one will be left out when it comes to finding a mate. He probably didn't realize that this would be scrutinized to the point where people would become suspicious over the accuracy of his discoveries. The bottom line is that regardless of ones sexual preference, people will stay together until death do they part due to the changes in the environment and the application of these principles. |
Bold mine. See how that works PG? I am pointing out that I changed something in your text so people do not get the wrong idea and think it was you. It is generally considered a good idea.
Thing is - he complained about people NOT scrutinizing over the accuracy of the discoveries he claimed to have made. And then, when people DO investigate his claims, and ask "why should we believe this is true?" you get all bent out of shape. You are so defensive you will happily cut whole pieces out even. Talk about advance blaming!
