dolfette...where did I ever change my opinion on anything? Can you find a quote to that effect.
You really need to learn to read.
As for vinylboy saying that homosexuals can reproduce. If they are reproducing with females then are not entirely homosexual are they?
If we can't agree on the meanings of the words natural and unnatural and people can't help getting defensive over them then this is a worthless discussion.
A lot of you are losing sight of the actual meanings of words. I am not saying that ants that don't breed are some sort of unearthly or monstrous beings. Simply that insofar as reproduction goes, and knowing that reproduction is the goal of all living things, they are unnatural. Because nature wants and expects every living thing to breed and contribute to the continuation of the species.
In all other respects I am sure that the ants and other animals that don't breed are prefectly normal. I never said they weren't but some people have been trying to imply that I did.
If you choose not to believe that then it is up to you. Just don't misinterpret what I write or claim that I have said things that I haven't.
[FONT="]You do seem to have a problem with people disagreeing with you, dont you? You accuse them of being dense and ignorant, or tell them that they need to learn to read, and then trot out the same fallacious arguments. Without wishing to be rude I dont think youre in a position to be patronising about these matters.[/FONT]
[FONT="]You say that nature wants and expects every living thing to breed. Nature doesnt want or expect anything. People (and possibly some animals) want and expect things. You might as well say that the sun wants to rise in the morning, or that a lake expects you to swim in it. You wont find this sort of anthropomorphic fallacy in The Origin of Species, which I suspect you have either not read or not understood. It makes sense of a sort for a certain sort of Christian to describe homosexuals as unnatural, because they believe that we were all created for a purpose by God, who wants and expects certain things of us. As you dont mention God I assume this is not what youre trying to say.[/FONT]
[FONT="]You seem very keen on breeding, but I suspect that you would be better off doing some reading instead. A basic introduction to philosophy and evolutionary theory might be a good start...[/FONT]
