[Jackass]

No..im just so disgusted with them..that I would rather not look at it!!

 

[janeeng]

Yeah, I would be disgusted too!!!!!!!!!

 

[Jackass]

Gee thanks! I STILL think that the G-men will have a better record in the end.

Did you get my PM?

 

[5stringJeff]

Geez... you move over a weekend and there are hundreds of new posts!!!

Spirit, your picture isn't there, I would have liked to have seen it... oh well.

And by the way, how did we get on the topic of homosexuality, obesity, and abortion on the 'Thou Shall Not Kill' thread?

It's sort of my fault - I commented on one of Spirit's claims that Homosexuality was BORN into people; a genetic flaw, etc...I pretty much told her people are gay for the same reason they are fat - lack of discipline. She provided some Latin-Sounding explaination of one theory...


To that I reply with:

I'd wager 1% of the 33% of our Obese population that way because of medical conditions. That number is small enough IMO to make the argument that "People are VICTIMS of their obesity" to be invalid.

 

[janeeng]

Jeff, where have you been? dmp, that's a freaky avatar! haha

 

[5stringJeff]

I moved this weekend. And let me tell you, it's worth the extra money to spring for a couple of guys to move all your stuff. I thought I was gonna be all cheap and move it all myself... I had to get my father-in-law to help us move all the furniture. To get my wife's giganto-sofa in the house, we had to take off the front door, the bannister leading downstairs, and the knobs off the bottom of the sofa.
So now we are moved in, but still living out of boxes... aaaauuuuugggggggggghhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[janeeng]

forgot all about that Jeff, glad to hear your all moved in, and yeah, I have lived out of boxes for a while once too and it sucks! glad to see you back.

Sexual identity is wired into the genes, which discounts the concept that homosexuality and transgender sexuality are a choice, California researchers reported on Monday.

"Our findings may help answer an important question -- why do we feel male or female?" Dr. Eric Vilain, a genetics professor at the University of California, Los Angeles School of Medicine, said in a statement. "Sexual identity is rooted in every person's biology before birth and springs from a variation in our individual genome."

His team has identified 54 genes in mice that may explain why male and female brains look and function differently.

Since the 1970s, scientists have believed that estrogen and testosterone were wholly responsible for sexually organizing the brain. Recent evidence, however, indicates that hormones cannot explain everything about the sexual differences between male and female brains.

Published in the latest edition of the journal Molecular Brain Research, the UCLA discovery may also offer physicians an improved tool for gender assignment of babies born with ambiguous genitalia.

Mild cases of malformed genitalia occur in 1 percent of all births -- about 3 million cases. More severe cases -- where doctors can't inform parents whether they had a boy or girl -- occur in one in 3,000 births.

"If physicians could predict the gender of newborns with ambiguous genitalia at birth, we would make less mistakes in gender assignment," Vilain said.

Using two genetic testing methods, the researchers compared the production of genes in male and female brains in embryonic mice -- long before the animals developed sex organs.

They found 54 genes produced in different amounts in male and female mouse brains, prior to hormonal influence. Eighteen of the genes were produced at higher levels in the male brains; 36 were produced at higher levels in the female brains.

"We discovered that the male and female brains differed in many measurable ways, including anatomy and function." Vilain said.

For example, the two hemispheres of the brain appeared more symmetrical in females than in males. According to Vilain, the symmetry may improve communication between both sides of the brain, leading to enhanced verbal expressiveness in females.

"This anatomical difference may explain why women can sometimes articulate their feelings more easily than men," he said.

The scientists plan to conduct further studies to determine the specific role for each of the 54 genes they identified.

"Our findings may explain why we feel male or female, regardless of our actual anatomy," said Vilain. "These discoveries lend credence to the idea that being transgender --- feeling that one has been born into the body of the wrong sex -- is a state of mind."

Soooooo..... a guy tends to like other guys because he feels like he is a woman? Then what does the other guy think? I guess they both feel like women, so they must REALLY believe they are lesbians!
