Absolutely no free will was used there.

It's not about what you do, it's about why. Sex is always a choice.
Why do you have sex with females?

I'm going to go with, the purpose of life is continued propogration of the species for $1000 Alec. And unless there is one helluva evolutionary change soon, no amount of time that inspector jihad and his boyfriend spend alone in the bedroom will result in an additional homo sapien coming out of there.

So you only have sex for reproductive purposes and never just for pleasure then?

I'll take grasping at straws for $1000, Alex.
The answer is: The Daily Double.


I hope the answer has some French words in it so we can here Alex's cheesy ass attempt to sound intelligent :D

QFT.

For better or worse, sexual orientation is not a protected class. This lawsuit has no legal backing.

IMO, and this comes from somebody with several gay friends, homosexuals are not discriminated against badly enough to add them to the Civil Rights Act. The amount and type of discrimination racial and ethnic groups in this country have suffered is FAR worse.

As it is, our society is fairly rapidly accepting Gay culture.

Bullsh1t. Plain and simple.
You do not have sex with females to procreate.
Unless you have had or attempted to have a child every time you have ever had sex?
No? I thought not.
You have sex with women because:

A: It feels good
B: You are attracted to women - Because they're curvy, smooth to touch, smell good, and have soft squishy parts in all the right places.

If I am wrong then I am wrong, but I don't think I am.

No my instincts to reproduce are satisfied whether or not I wear a condom.

In other words, because you find females attractive. It's no more complicated and just as simple as that.

Do you think you should receive minority status because of the type of people you are attracted to? The type of women I'm attracted to are definitely not what the majority are. Should I receive something special because of it?

I honestly don't care. I just want to be left alone.

No, we would just like the rights already accorded to the majority.

Which rights would you like?

Civil unions would be a nice start.

What about the gay-only hotel? Is that considered discrimination??


http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070528/ts_afp/lifestyleaustraliagayentry to heterosexuals and lesbians[/b], officials and the owner said Monday.

The Peel Hotel in Melbourne won an exemption from the Equal Opportunity Act to prevent insults and abuse directed toward gays in its bars and nightclubs, owner Tom McFeely told AFP.

"The hotel predominantly markets itself towards homosexual males, towards gay men and we want to protect the integrity of the venue as well as continue to make the men feel comfortable," McFeely said.

"When large numbers of heterosexuals or even lesbians are in the hotel that changes the atmosphere and many gay men can feel uncomfortable."

The landmark decision by a civil tribunal gives the establishment -- which does not offer accommodation -- the right to refuse entry to people considered a threat to the safety and comfort of its patrons.

Helen Szoke, the chief executive of the Victoria state government's Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission, said the Peel Hotel's gay clientele had experienced harassment, hostility and violence.

"(They) also have felt as though they've been like a zoo exhibit with big groups of women on hens' parties coming to the club," she said.

McFeely said his aim was not to ban all straight patrons and lesbians but to limit their numbers so gay men could freely express their sexuality.

He said he expected a backlash from other patrons, but added: "I'm not worried about it because to be frank I don't really care what heterosexuals or lesbians think.

"My main motivation is to protect my gay male customers and I realise heterosexuals and lesbians may be upset. but I don't care about that.


"We are open at 8.00pm and we go all the way through till the morning. We have two dancefloors -- it is a nightclub environment."

McFeely said it would be easy to sort out desirable gays from undesirable straights and lesbians.

"It is particularly easy to implement with the females 'cause that is pretty obvious.

"With the heterosexual males, if they identify themselves as that at the door, or indeed we question their behaviour in the venue and if they come across as being heterosexual, then we will simply ask them to leave if the behaviour is unappropriate."

Human rights group Liberty Victoria supported the decision, vice-president Michael Pearce said.

"There are numerous places where heterosexual people can go," he said.

"I think what (the tribunal) has said is that there aren't that many places where gay people can go and meet without the risk of being harassed or vilified, and that they are entitled to have their own spaces to do that in.



Eh?

I didn't say it was better, I said it satisfied the need to excrete semen from the body.
What I am trying to say is getting off is our goal, even if nature is playing us like puppets.

It's not about what you do, it's about why. Sex is always a choice.
Why do you have sex with females?

because my sole purpose on this planet on a genetic level is for me to proliferate my dna throughout the cosmos. This involves engaging in as many female sexual encounters as possible. I don't believe I was given a choice for this...This is why I've always been attracted to females, my brain and dna are hardwired for this, they are in cahoots...they drive my actions so that I can have the most opportunities to successfully reproduce. I think thousands of years of evolution have honed this instinct so well that I can decide if a female will make a proper mate with just a simple glance.

I didn't ask why does sex exist.
I ask why do you have sex with females...lol.
Would you still have sex if you could not have children, or she could not?
Hell from what I hear that is a plus :p

Clearly our conscious mind has power over our primal instincts, for instance I can choose where, when, with whom I want to engage in sex. I cannot choose who I am sexually attracted to, and I cannot control the urge and drive to seek sex with adequate females. Those two things are hardwired. How I decide to act upon them are within my control. So to answer your question, would I still have sex without leading to children. OF COURSE. My hardwired primal instincts don't care about condoms and birth control. They follow the course of power in numbers.

This was probably done just to drum up publicity.
Nobody I know actually supports this.

And there is nothing wrong with discrimination in most cases. I'm sick of this PC bullcrap! Is it discrimination if I refuse to teach a guy with no arms to box? What about refusing to teach a mentally handicapped man to be a MMA fighter? Is it bad discrimination that I do not give guitar lessons to children? I just don't like working with them. Can we sue sports illustrated for refusing fat chicks for the swimsuit edition? My mom's doctor refused to see her after a car accident, she said she does not take accident cases because of the court time usually involved. Should my mom sue her? Should the military be required to take recruits with epilepsy? What about guys with handicaps that prevent them from doing basic training (like being in a wheelchair? Further more, can a guy in a wheelchair sue me for not having wheelchair access to my new stairmaster only gym buisness?

They do not want to target that demographic. I think NAMBLA should sue them for not offering a matching service for men to find little boys. I mean discrimination is discrimination after all.

HAHAHA... true that.

I voted yes, but not because I agree with the lawsuit. I just think eHarmony needs to be sued enough that they go bankrupt and stop making us watch those crappy commercials.

That old guy is pretty annoying and the song they always play makes me change the channel. I wish he would die and the company would go under.
