Do you think "necrophilia" can be considered a legit sexual orientation?

[frz]

Fucking the
Dead. Now there is a reality show waiting to happen.

Just wondering Catfish, were you aware of this assertion by the APA and do you have qualms as well with the steps that were taken to conclude it's findings? Is this not an unadulterated source of data or do you refute it as an authority on the subject?

Nah, he just doesn't care about the APA, dear. Check out the Born this way thread down in the religion forums if you wanna see why.

It's... something.

Does the APA have anything besides anecdotal evidence? A blood test? Perhaps an MRI or some other imaging device?

[thesummerqueen]

No, the APA doesn't use ANY SCIENTIFIC DATA WHATSOEVER.

[rolls eyes]

Give me a break.

tw I am not a "pedophile", and I also don't support raping kids...but I don't think we should look down on people who are attracted to younglings. Not every pedophile is a child molester - but also, not every child molester is a pedophile.

...See my post [here] for just what I think about what you just said. Nice way to ensure that your future on this forum will be spent with my constant, infinite contempt, disrespect, and possibly even outright hostility directed your way.

Ohh wow...



They just mentioned testing fucking DNA. The coding and framework of what and who we are, they look into it and seek out specific markers and compare them to behavioral patterns [in this case sexual alignment]. That's not anecdotal. That's concrete. There's a reason DNA testing, when admissable in a court of law, is pretty much the trump card of any prosecution or defense; because it doesn't lie. It's like looking at a computer program's programming and being able to determine what functions do what: You look at DNA and you can be extremely positive of quite a bit regarding the programming of the individual before you as long as you compare what the programming tells you with the way the individual behaves. Repeated studies showing the same results over and over and over and over is EXTREMELY clear proof. How do you NOT get that? Are you just dense or something? Is being shown a pattern repeating 25+ times not enough to convince you? Do you also need an unsubstantiated holy book or something? Maybe a personal and unique gut feeling to really find it true?

If so your life must be unbelievably indecisive and empty.

Perhaps you don't understand the nature of psychiatry. Observation of behavior, yeah. Once DNA comes into play, it becomes the realm of medical science. What's going to happen when/if someone does find the "gay gene"? DO we offer a cure for homosexuality?

Fuck the APA!

[thesummerqueen]

You have absolutely no fucking clue what you're talking about.

[catfish]

You have absolutely no fucking clue what you're talking about.

Oh really? Can you show 1 scientific test (not testimony) that identifies just one "disorder" as listed by the APA?

I fucking dare you to try to produce one, I need the laugh...

[thesummerqueen]

I'm not sure I'm understanding what you're asking for.

I'm calling your immediate conclusion that if we find "the gay gene" we're going to offer a 'cure' as retarded. There's nothing wrong with gay people that they have to be 'fixed', except in your myopic worldview of "poo is icky".

Holy fuck, try reading punctuation please.

[thesummerqueen]

Holy fuck, answer the goddamn question.
