You chose to be gay? Dude that was a dumb decision.

I know man

Some days it don't know what I am.

People are most def born gay.

You got cold hard scientific proof buddy?

Scientific research shows that no one can possibly be born gay; it is a choice 100%. Natural selection does not support it.

[Wh33lhop]

Who the fuck in their right mind would CHOOSE to be gay? Hey I'm in my socially petrified youngster stage, why don't I choose to be part of a demographic that 70% of the US hates out of sheer insecurity and ignorance?

Priests chose to be gay? Or is it not gay if it's pedophelia? Does one choose to be a pedophile?

so you don't understand natural selection, cool

Lol

Natural Selection is the ability for an organism to leave more or less offspring according to its formula of success in its enviornment.

So yes, seeing as homos leave 0 offspring outside of invitro or surrogate reproduction, yes; I think I do quite understand Natural Selection

First off, I'm not here to argue differences between Catholicism and Christianity; you can do well to learn the differences between the two

Secondly, what they do is their business. It is a conscious or subconscious choice all the same.

Think about that real hard Joey, if no mutations occur between parents and offspring then where exactly would they occur?

[mbonanni]

sigh

double sigh

Just letting you guys know every third monday, and every other Tuesday of the month I choose to be gay. Other days I choose to like vagina.

I'm not sure if you thought you were making a sensible argument here, but you weren't. just FYI.

I fail to see how this relates to the topic at hand

Generally mutations in a human population is detrimental to the mutated organism; "mutations" are called Down Syndrome, T19, etc. Mutations are genetic level deformations, and most are developmentally harmful.

The only mutations that have been beneficial have been in eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms; and in that field, a mutation is usually beneficial as there is usually an environment the mutated organism can survive and reproduce in; even so, a mutated organism always reproduces using male/female unless it reproduces asexually through some form of cellular division


I think you have mutation and adaptation confused. They are not the same thing

Please, enlighten me then

If you want to be pedantic like this, I think you should do a little more research on natural selection. In the context of NS, a mutation is any change in genetic makeup, for better or worse.

a genetic mutation is any transcription error between generations of organisms. that is the definition of the word. there is no other attached meaning.

The only mutations that have been beneficial have been in eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms; and in that field, a mutation is usually beneficial as there is usually an environment the mutated organism can survive and reproduce in; a mutated organism always reproduced male/female unless it reproduces asexually

humans are eukaryotic organisms. so..

I think you have mutation and adaptation confused. They are not the same thing

darwinian adaptation is the concept that the net sum of all effects of mutations between an organism and its offspring affects the survival and procreation rates of the offspring. If it affects it positively, all the mutations that occur in the offspring have a higher chance to be carried on to future generations that offspring produces.

EXAMPLE TIME

let's say that way the fuck back when, proto-joey had 3 baby proto-joeys. because proto-joey lived in a radioactive swamp, its genetic code was unstable, and a bunch of different mutations happened to each baby proto-joey.

one of them had a mutation that gave it a gigantic, magnificent baby joey dick. however, it also had another mutation that meant that all of its internal organs grew on the outside of its body, so it died very quickly and didn't get a chance to send its giant joey dick genes to future generations.

the other proto-joey was similar to its parent. its mutations were a mix of positive and negative, but the overall result was that it was able to produce viable offspring, and that lineage of proto-joeys continued to survive while the mutation rate was low.

the third proto-joey had several mutations of its own. one of these mutations was pretty great! it made the joey more resistant to deletion events during cell splitting and DNA replication! this meant that this joey's genetic code was more stable than that of its sibling, so it ended up having less mutations in the future, so more of its offspring ended up surviving.

this third proto-joey, however, had another mutation - some small percentage of its male proto-joey descendants were regularly born with an insatiable lust for proto-joey cock. this meant that these proto-joeys tended to not produce offspring. however, because the overall genetic code was more stable, the mutation was carried through generations of proto-joeys that weren't directly affected by it.

in the end, because this proto-joey had more viable children on average (due to genetic stability), its genetic code came to be representative of all joeys as a whole, even though some of these joeys continue, to this day, to be born lovin' the D.

I enjoy the diversity of topics here and how they can go from investment to human mutation in less than 4 posts. Then add a dash of erratic driving and torn up rims and suspension components and then a pinch of homosexuality.

I for one am not gay and have never been. I personally do not intend to choose a lifestyle that would require me to consent to being sodomized. I am also a card carrying , practicing member of the homophobes coalition.
Ever been chased and pursued by a raging gay? Its an experience that one will never forget. Somethings cannot be unseen.

Also, investing in individual stocks is tantamount to gambling. There is way to much volatility in any one specific stock to make it a safe investment. When doing so one is not an investor. They are a "trader" . An investor is one that creates a well balanced portfolio of holdings and is focused on long term growth and capital preservation.

Mutual funds (a grouping of stocks) is a much better approach to investing. As one or a few of the stocks in the grouping can decline and not have as large an effect on the sum total of all stocks within the mutual fund. Conversely if you own an individual stock and it goes down appreciably it will affect you to a much larger extent. Nobody can market time and know when a stock is at its peak to be able to sell at that point and the opposite is true as well.

Mutual funds rise and fall as well but typically the increases and decreases are less sharp and drastic. All funds over time will rise as has been shown over and over again. So in 5 years or ten years of being in the market if one sticks with it they will benefit.

The thought of getting rich quick by conducting many trades on so called "hot" stocks is not a prudent investment strategy.

I have invested with a number of financial advisors and none of them condone or suggest any substancial investment in any one stock. They actually take the time to explain why it is a poor idea and will not place trades to that end.

In essence survival of the fittest even if proto joey # 3 likes the D ?
