Most of you here in this thread don't know me. And I won't engage your questions unless they are free of name calling, and outrageous speculation. What's the point? You have your minds made up about me, and what I have to say. I'll just do drive-by shoots.... that's more fun any way! 
Rocket, I think you broke ronedee.
Nah, can't break the broken. On that note, I'm off to "polish my manhood" (whatever that means).

That's a complete lie.
Here is an unbiased piece on "why" the APA dropped homosexuality from its list of mental illnesses. Its NOT because of any further medical studies! It was
because of political pressure put on the committee, who passed the resolution with only a 55% vote. What this proves is that the lobby effects did their job
without the need for any medical data. And there hasn't been a study, or research since. At least in this country....obviously!
But, there are many studies that were done in the early to mid 20th century throughout the globe with evidence strong enough to suggest; that at the
very least more psychological & biological research were necessary to justify homosexual behavior as normal and natural for humans.
In the comments below the piece, a "William Parsons" sites some sources during his exchanges for further research. And he also adds his own very
thought provoking commentary on the purely carnal driven, and abnormal aspects of the actions by, and relationships between same sex partners!

Fucking bullshit.
Plenty of studies have continued to be done.

Um, I don't think you read that entire article. Here's his conclusion:
Quote:The overall point being that the APA’s taxonomy is nothing more than self-serving nonsense. Real illnesses are not banished by voting or by fiat, but by valid science and hard work. There are no mental illnesses. Rather, there are people. We have problems; we have orientations; we have habits; we have perspectives. Sometimes we do well, other times we make a mess of things. We are complicated. Our feelings fluctuate with our circumstances, from the depths of despondency to the pinnacles of bliss. And perhaps, most of all, we are individuals. DSM’s facile and self-serving attempt to medicalize human problems is an institutionalized insult to human dignity. The homosexual community has managed to liberate themselves from psychiatric oppression. But there are millions of people worldwide who are still being damaged, stigmatized, and disempowered by this pernicious system to this day.
(Bold emphasis my own.)
His article was not saying that Homosexuals are ill, he is saying that the APA's process of classifying mental issues in general is bogus. There's nothing in that article that suggests the author feels that homosexuals were ever properly classified as mentally ill. He is saying that none of the categories described by the APA are valid.

Actually, cursing is not a sign or limited vocabulary. Another study, of which I am certain you are not aware, was done which showed cursing is quite the sign of intelligence.
You might try it sometime.
