You can't even answer the question. You don't know where gays come from. I bet you believe they are "recruited". But, if you do decide to take a "peek", please share the humor. Tell us where gays come from. Good, don’t come back. You can’t even answer the question. You don’t know where gays come from. I bet you believe they are “recruited”.

What a strange, offensive guy. :-/ Maybe you should go back and read a few books by your atheist brethren, just for the exposure to... logic. <i>It’s truly pathetic that you want to discriminate against people and you don’t even have a clue where they come from.</i> There you go with that bitter tone again. Please, try to keep it together. Haha, yes. Please use "You know, there are people on this site that don't know where gays come from" in future posts. I'm sure everyone else will be just as convinced by your fantasies. <i>What a hoot!!!!</i> Yes, indeed. :-) Once again, good day. I'm satisfied with this thread, so no use coming back to it. Wow.

It’s truly pathetic that you want to discriminate against people and you don’t even have a clue where they come from.

There you go with that bitter tone again. Please, try to keep it together.

Haha, yes. Please use “You know, there are people on this site that don’t know where gays come from” in future posts. I’m sure everyone else will be just as convinced by your fantasies.

Yes, indeed. :-)

Once again, good day. I’m satisfied with this thread, so no use coming back to it.

It's truly pathetic that you want to discriminate against people and you don't even have a clue where they come from. Believing that the majority of gays in this country DON'T come from Christian families is like believing in mystical and supernatural creation over the science of evolution. So, come on, where do gays come from? Make my day. I have to use this in other posts. “You know, there are people on this site that don’t know where gays come from”. “They are just sure that gays don’t come from Christian families.” They can’t say where they come from, just not from Christian families. What a hoot!!!! #197: This is CLEARLY a fallacy that does not follow.

I guess what I wrote is quite different to RDean's statement. I just wanted to try and get at some of the possible assumptions that are underlying his argument. But I'm pretty sure you're both arguing about different things (consciously or not). That is, Yorick, I think you're arguing primarily against the structure of argument and RDean, you're arguing in favour of the conclusion drawn from the argument. Would that be fair to say, or am I just presuming way too much? Yorick,

RDean [191]

Most of the families in country A are Christian. Country A has many homosexuals. So, most of the homosexuals came from Christian families?

The answer is “yes”.

Consider that when you don't know what a person believes on a subject, presumption and blanket accusations are offensive and unproductive. I hope your holidays are peaceful, SG RDean.

Um. No. You have someone who doesn't take kindly to presumptuous accusations based on zero evidence and about someone you don't know. That you haven't a clue about my answers to your questions proves my suspicion. Your comments here are dishonest. I point this out because it's a pattern that often hobbles what you have to say.

So, do you feel gays should be "allowed" to marry? Do you believe they should be "allowed" to serve in the military and have the same rights as other law abiding Americans? Wow, I have a stalker.
