Greeniies are my favorite ! I love to give greenies because its so nice when people make you think and smile and when you see them sharing the love,its all good!I think I have only given under 10 reddies. Well deserved!!:D
I don't care about greenies,
yes I do but I really want an animated avatar would be nice.I want one.Can you talk to someone :rolleyes:

I'm not even allowed an animated avatar, so I can't help you there. :eek:

Just keep doing what you're doing, get to expert status, then to mod status, then you can have your animated avy. :)

After that, you recommend that they allow me to have one too.

See how this works? ;)

That sounds like way too much work for me:)

Fine, then I take the reddie back and answer you question, Shazamataz. I am bisexual by CHOICE.

Well then why ask the question, you seem to believe you have the answer.

Others would disagree, but so what. Who cares if it's a choice or genetic? It is what it is, that's all you need to know or care about.

Why are you so mad ?
You seem angry.Is there something you want to share that is making you so angry?
I'm really not trying to be nosy but if you need help,you are among friends here.
Talk it out :)

[turtlegirl16]

I am asking if being gay is a choice or genetics.

[Alty]

I have to agree Artsy. I too sense a lot of anger.

Turtlegirl, we're here to help people. If you need help then you can ask for it here.

You're anonymous, so whatever you want to talk about, it stays here.

Think about it. We're sensing a lot of contained anger in you. Maybe it's time to let it out.

[turtlegirl16]

No, I am not mad, its just the deal where the reddies, I thought they were ratings, that's why I put them there. It says rate this answer, Its not a "I dont wanna" thing. I just misunderstood.

[Silverfoxkit]

What do you define as being gay? ONLY being attracted to the same gender? I personally feel that since being bi also includes attraction to the same gender then it is not defined separately. You are being awfully defensive and no one here is trying to upset you. Like artlady said, where here to listen if there's something you would like to get off your chest.

[Alty]

No, I am not mad, its just the deal where the reddies, I thought they were ratings, thats why I put them there. It says rate this answer, Its not a "I dont wanna" thing. I just misunderstood.

It does explain how to rate in the rules, that's why it's upsetting to all of us, it seems too many people come here and don't bother to read the rules. I had asked you yesterday not to give reddies unless the post was factually incorrect, but then today you did it again, that why I said it was a case of "I don't wanna" because you'd already been told.

Misunderstandings happen, and none of use are immune to that. Now you know, so let's move on, put that in the past. Okay? :)

And just so it is clear.

The rules are;

A reddie can only be given for factually incorrect information, not for opinions.

In other words. If I write "Snow is purple" then you can give me a reddie, because that's factually incorrect. But, if I write "I think that snow is purple in some places" well, that's an opinion, not subject to reddies. Then, if you don't agree, you can quote that and post what you think. Understand?

The rules just keep things civilized. After all, we're all human, and we can all get heated at times. Trust me, I know! :eek::D

Altenweg: Did you write this in this thread because I may have overlooked that page... My easily made mistake.

Silverfoxkit: I define gay as attracted to your same gender and only that gender. Bisexual I consider as attracted to both genders, including your own.

No, it was another thread, I believe in the dogs forum, but I really don't remember which exact thread. I can check if you want, and yes, it's possible that you didn't see it.

Like I said, now you know. I don't look back, I look forward, so no worries. Okay? ;)

[turtlegirl16]

Okay! ;)

[shazamataz]

No need to yell :)

Like I said it was just a question, I never meant to offend anyone.

I don't understand bisexuals.. and I don't mean that in a mean way at all, I just genuanely don't understand. Some people are genuine about being bi-sexual and really do like both sexes but some people (especially younger girls) become "bi-sexual" because they think kissing another girl makes them "cool"

[turtlegirl16]

That's not me at all. I do like both sexes but honestly, I would only use dating another girl as a last resort, maybe never at all.

Hi Turtlegirl16

actually, there is now scientific evidence of the brain - where they've proved that there is a hormonal difference between heterosexual and homosexual individuals. You can hold your beliefs - I won't argue with you, but I think that your Mom is correct. There are very strong genetic predispositions towards sexual preference, and many homosexual people will tell you that they knew they were born gay - long before they ever hit puberty. If being gay IS a choice - ask yourself this: WHY would ANYONE choose that choice for themselves? ?!?! it doesn't make sense. That's like saying that a person chooses to be born with downs syndrome or chooses to be born as a little person or chooses to be born with MS (mutiple sclerosis). No one would wish that upon themselves. What a person CAN choose is whether to hide being gay or deciding to accept it, and be flamboyant and parade around. that's what I believe. Anyway, I'm glad that you have gay and bi friends.

take care.

Interesting. You really made being homosexual sound like a disability.

[turtlegirl16]

RIGHT? I didn't notice that...

[talaniman]

I think in the absence of strong evidence, every one has their own opinion, whether we agree or disagree.

Mostly though I believe that we are products of our own upbringing, or beliefs when it comes to our opinions of others, especially if they can't understand the motivations or the behaviors they don't understand.

Sometimes we don't understand our own feelings, but the bottom line is how we deal with it.

[Ren6]

Thats not me at all. I do like both sexes but honestly, I would only use dating another girl as a last resort, maybe never at all.

I'm not understanding what you're saying... you would only date another girl as a last resort? That doesn't sound very "bi" to me. As for me, I'm gay (lesbian). I had feelings for other girls from the age of nine, and it didn't feel like a choice at all. It's just the way I am. If you have so many gay friends, I'm shocked you haven't asked them... if you can't ask your friends, who can you ask?

[spitvenom]

I am on your mom side.
