Your sister turned a gay man straight? People will be wanting to see some pics as, um, evidence for your case.
You would understand why I would have to decline on that.

If you were serious that is.

Heterosexual and Homosexual are often called 'sexual preference.' You still have a preference of what you are attracted to when you are masturbating alone. Just because I'm grilling sausage doesn't mean I don't like muffins.
Tendencies though.

Preference isn't an act, it is an attraction.

It is the act that defines your true being, and if you are (at the time) gay or straight.

If attraction alone defines if a person is or isn't, then by that definition, any thought in our mind, or the perceived thoughts in our minds, would be labeled as such. And that would create a whole new set of issues I don't think anyone can comprehend here, as obviously stated by those who can't go beyond their own pants on this forum.

Being bi sexual isn't so bad. Just means you have to watch Lifetime movies and sports.

If being bi means you have to watch Lifetime movies, I will never be anything but straight for my entire life.

Really though, even if you keep your sexuality as a bare minimum part of your identity, you're probably going to seek out people who are comfortable (or non-objectionable) with that as friends for comfort and safety. You're likely going to seek out employment that won't fire you if it's found out you are not straight. You may be more cautious in bonding with those you're attracted to as a result of nervousness or uncertainty, and that would be a different set of people than if one were heterosexual.

That's all a direct result of sexuality. It really is more than just who you're presently sleeping with or in a relationship with. So no, it's not the act.

Facebook is definitely not the place to reconnect with people or make any new friends. It felt like an uphill battle for the 50 friends, including 5 family members, I had. I don't know how in the world people manage to have 200+ "friends."

It seemed more about everyone bragging about how better they were than everybody else while simultaneously casually ignoring each other. Or just daily moaning and bitching about going to work everyday. I get it, mundane work sucks, just about everybody at some point goes through that. Either try to make your life better or quit complaining. Wanna hang out? Nah I got work, blah blah blah. Ok then quit complaining about how life is boring. I got work too, it's called time management.

Not my cup of tea I guess. It's a false sense of socializing.

That's why I like Google Plus better. You can follow people and they can follow you, there's no let's be friends vibe to it. Unless someone changes the definition of friend.

I think I lost brain cells reading KN's obvious and utter ***.
If you don't agree with me, then say so.

Your posts are complete and utter ***, but I don't call it out all the time. The reason is because they are your opinions and just because you have *** opinions doesn't mean that they aren't valid.
Right, my posts, all of them, are complete and utter ***, despite having +'d almost half of my recent ones.

And you wonder why you have all the credibility of a pagan goat farmer suffering from illiteracy commenting on defined terms, saying "wrong" at everything.

Sexuality, Sexual Orientation, and Sexual Behavior have already been defined, and you are trying to redefine them into something that suits your argument of "being gay is a choice", though the point you fail to realize, is that by claiming such, heterosexuality is also a choice. We choose to pass on our genetic material. We also choose who we pass on our combined genetic material with.

By that means, unless we are actively engaged in a relationship, despite our sexual preference (W/e deity forbid marriage and relationships happen out of comfort, financial stability, social need, etc.) we're technically A-sexual, since we're not in a relationship, we're not engaging in sexual acts, or anything else you've claimed fallaciously humans engage in.

As Jinjo has pointed out, our sexual orientation is a driving force that can even shape our social constructs, as to who we associate with as individuals, which gender a person is attracted to (Note: being attracted to a gender is a huge part of sexual orientation, and how a person identifies as straight, gay, or bisexual, for example) Not who we choose to have sexual relations with. Gay men still marry into a heterosexual marriage because of social pressure, because it's financially sound, or because of various other reasons. THEY ARE STILL GAY. Same thing applies with lesbian women entering into a contract of mutual benefits with straight men. Do they all do it? No.

Gay men will pick a partner of the same orientation, because that is their sexual attraction, but will choose a partner also because of romantic attraction.

Quote:
A US Department of Defense (DoD) research programme is funding universities to model the dynamics, risks and tipping points for large-scale civil unrest across the world, under the supervision of various US military agencies. The multi-million dollar programme is designed to develop immediate and long-term "warfighter-relevant insights" for senior officials and decision makers in "the defense policy community," and to inform policy implemented by "combatant commands."

Launched in 2008 – the year of the global banking crisis – the DoD 'Minerva Research Initiative' partners with universities "to improve DoD's basic understanding of the social, cultural, behavioral, and political forces that shape regions of the world of strategic importance to the US."

Among the projects awarded for the period 2014-2017 is a Cornell University-led study managed by the US Air Force Office of Scientific Research which aims to develop an empirical model "of the dynamics of social movement mobilisation and contagions." The project will determine "the critical mass (tipping point)" of social contagians by studying their "digital traces" in the cases of "the 2011 Egyptian revolution, the 2011 Russian Duma elections, the 2012 Nigerian fuel subsidy crisis and the 2013 Gazi park protests in Turkey."

Twitter posts and conversations will be examined "to identify individuals mobilised in a social contagion and when they become mobilised."

Fallin is the Governor of Oklahoma (where I live), to put it simply, I just don't like her, she doesn't serve the people of this state well. She refused to raise minimum wage in OK, but some could argue that doing so could be detrimental to businesses and business owners in OK so I'm not going to talk about that right now. What I meant to bring up is that Fallin had a chance to legalize medical marijuana which isn't detrimental to anyone, and beneficial to those with serious diseases or those on chemotherapy who have absolutely no appetite and thus pretty much starve.

I've heard a story of one family who is moving out of state for medical marijuana treatments for their daughter. Now, before someone jumps to say "You mean parents should allow a 3-year-old to smoke weed?!" No, not at all. The effects of marijuana can be delivered via a pill which doesn't associate it with a 'treat' like the recreational edibles do, nor does it involve inhaling smoke which damages the lungs.

Thoughts?

I find this to be rather interesting. Medical Marijuana is probably the safest of all appetite stimulants while monitored, with the least amount side effects that are the lowest in potency of side effects.

Granted, I didn't know about the marijuana pill medication, I would assume it would be highly diluted for the child to take safely.

My dad had glaucoma, and had to take a bevy of pills for, which caused all kinds of problems with their varied side effects.

I am also assuming the effects of marijuana are also better controlled in pill form?

I believe they can be controlled just like the doses of any other pill. Though being that I've never seen one of these pills, I'm not sure if they are breakable compressed pills or liquid capsules.

One of my uncles had a cancerous tumor removed from his throat and had to go through chemo, smoking marijuana was the only way he could eat.

Oh, and before anyone labels me as a stoner who just wants pot to be easy to get, I don't smoke anything, most I've ever had was a contact high. :)

It's not even a pill it looks like. Just an oil that can be administer is small drops to control dosage.

Quote:
Charlotte's Web is a strain of medical marijuana processed into a marijuana extract that is high in cannabidiol (CBD) content, called Realm Oil and Alepsia. It does not induce the psychoactive "high" typically associated with recreational marijuana use.

The Charlotte's Web strain is named after Charlotte Figi, whose parents and physicians say she experienced a reduction of her epileptic seizures after her first dose of medical marijuana at five years of age, and whose usage of the strain was featured in the 2013 CNN documentary "Weed". Media coverage increased demand for Realm Oil and similar products high in CBD, which has been used to treat epilepsy in toddlers and children. While high profile and anecdotal reports have sparked interest in treatment with cannabinoids, there is insufficient medical evidence to draw conclusions about their safety or efficacy.

Families who say they have run out of pharmaceutical options have moved to Colorado to access the strain. The demand has spurred calls for more research to determine whether these products actually do what is claimed. While the use of medical marijuana products is allowed in many U.S. states, the nationwide legal status of Realm Oil is less clear.

There are many gays and lesbians who are 100% I can assure you. I will never ever touch the "v" again!
