    Just goes to show you that being really good at one thing doesn't mean you're an all-around genius and being a doctor doesn't mean you have any common sense.

    .... What a difference a color makes... I knew it, I just knew it. You can't expect me to google for his picture anyways. Somebody's skin color is the last thing I'm interested on anyways.

    I'm biased too, we all are, but in my case I think you can understand why I said what I said.
    I wrote more than one single word, you know...

    The guy doesn't stand a chance though, plain and simple. To me he sounds like the new Rick Santorum.

    Sexuality is malleable, but everyone has a predisposition.

    Having gay sex does make you gay just like straight sex doesn't make you straight and having sex period doesn't make you allosexual.

    From what I've heard in a prison setting it's more about dominance and/or libido rather than attraction.

    I once heard that people will never be able to comprehend the end of the universe and the beginning of time - and now I'm adding this shit to the list. Where do people come up with it?

    Why yes, we know that most people choose to come out - but that's where the buck stops. I can't even understand the level of ignorance. I also don't want to make this about race, but he is black. It saddens me that someone from another oppressed group can't even give Us a little respect.

    I'm actually really sad to hear this. I didn't really know anything about Carson's political standpoints and just really admired him because he worked really hard, especially as a black man, to become a neurosurgeon. But hearing this makes me instantly lose a lot of respect for him. Hopefully one day he'll learn to be more tolerant.

    This doesn't really shock me usually I'll hear people using this as proof that lesbians sexuality isn't real, heck I've even seen some lgbt people using this as why we're all sexuality fluid( women sexuality ) so why are people upset when a homophobe is using the same thing most us say ?:confused:
    This really doesn't shock me because I'm use to people saying this crap to me as a lesbian even in my one community . And weren't we on that what if we choose to be gay train why are we getting upset at this guy ? when he's saying the same thing many people say in the lgbt community today ?:confused:.

    And I believe the only reason Palin was chosen as VP candidate in 08 was to show "Look...diversity...we like women, too." They knew they needed a woman in the ranks because of Hillary.

    Prisons aren't exactly the best place to study human sexuality. Whatever you discover there won't be applicable to the general non incarcerated population.

    What I want to know is why a neurosurgeon would be running as the Republican candidate for the presidency...

    What's his point? If I choose to be gay, so..? When does it become his business either way. The nature vs nurture debate is absurd because the rational conclusion is "who cares" either way.
