But, if we went ahead and killed all the gay people… that would definitely be a win win!

Seeing as how gay people do not procreate, I find that completely unnecessary.

They don’t add to the population, so that helps with the over population problem! Since they can’t have kids, they also don’t add to the population which means removing them wouldn’t hurt population growth!

So.. are you being sarcastic still.. or not?

Yeah, I’m just opposed to the whole Nazi eugenics program. Let nature do its thing.

Of course I am!
Being serious now, overpopulation is a serious problem, but purposely doing something is wrong, I agree, let nature take its course. The issue is the advancement in modern medicine is a big reason for this.

I read somewhere that some ridiculous percentage, like 80-90% of all healthcare is spent on prolonging the lives of retired citizens, for an average of like 5-7 years. I don’t remember exactly.

Government Ponzi schemes will fail if there isn't a growing population of tax payers to pay for the old.

In other news I think I heard the other day that 3% of deaths in Canada are medically assisted suicides. Going to be great studies in the future about socialized medicine vs not.

It's difficult to tell when you are being sarcastic or just being dumb.

You should let us know... that way we don't get the "JK GUIS!" after you get called out.

I don't care one way or another what people do as adults... gay, straight, whatever... you do you...

I did hear a funny interview the other day though, where the interviewer was asking a LGBTQ+ supporter... I'm paraphrasing - but the question essentially was:

"Is LGBTQ+ "normal"?"

The person interviewed was stating "Yes, of course".

Make sense to me up to this point... then the interviewer asked...

"If it's normal, then why do LGBTQ+ people, have to adopt children... and not have their own?"

I found it an interesting question... and of course the person being interviewed didn't have a response.

The way I see it, it’s a mental disorder that likely can’t be cured. As someone with ADHD, I can sympathize. Gay people can’t help who they are and being gay isn’t immoral.

Let them enter marriage contracts, so long as any church or business can deny them wedding services on the grounds of religious principles. Let them adopt children, so long as any adoption agency can choose to discriminate who they place a child with. Let them be proud of who they are & be true to themselves, so long as they don’t push sexually inappropriate vulgar displays & behavior on children. Let them identify as whatever gender they choose, so long as everyone else isn’t compelled by law to address them by their preferred pronouns. These same standards also apply to straight people.

Oh 100% man... I didn't mean for my observations to come across as anything but... I just found the concept of "normal" interesting.

I'm all for good people adopting kids - doesn't bother me either way, so long as the kids are cared for properly.

The concept of "normal" I guess I'm referring to is - If a person has a "desire" to "have children"... and yet their personal desires/choices in a "mating partner" doesn't allow for the conception of a "child"... Then is such behavior really normal? Or abnormal?

Up for discussion of course... Just thought was an interesting question.
