Most heterosexual couples who adopt (not all) don't have the ability medically to have children. There are also homosexual persons that also don't have the ability to produce if they were straight. There are, however, many homosexual couples that could have children of their own if they were heterosexual and willingly choose the unnatural. If a gay person denies their ability to reproduce with the oppisite sex the natural way, would it be selfish of them to adopt a child? I think so myself. If a person decides to be homosexual that person gives up their reproductive ability to have a child of their own blood as a couple. Simple math to me.

You're totally wrong. Nobody chooses to be gay. What some gay people have a problem with is admitting it to themselves and to others and in dealing with it. I was thirty when I finally came out of the closet and it was the toughest thing I ever did in my life. But when I finally told someone, it felt like the weight of the world came off my shoulders.

Bullshit. On this entire thread, I am the only one who has admitted to being gay, and I really don't think there are a lot of closet cases on here.

Unlike most of the rest of you, I actally know a lot of gay couples who have adopted. I have never seen a failure. They have created some of the most loving homes that you could ever want to see.

My cousin and her partner have three adopted daughters and they couldn't be happier.

Yes, we are a dying breed the same same way this once great country is dying. No way should a gay couple adopt kids.

SO you're saying that if the country was more Racist, Sexist and Religiously intolerant we'd be a stronger nation?

Wow.....Just Wow.

Yep. The same way we continue to let arabs on our airplanes and they continue to try and blow them up.
Political correctness will be the downfall of this country.

Yeah, if I were to get in to a bar fight I'd rather have a straight guy on my side but that is irrelevant to this topic or even any point you've tried to make in your last couple posts.

And it can't come soon enough. Who would think that being tolerant of other people is a bad thing?

I don't think it is selfish at all. Let's think about it logically; a loving, well balanced home that can be provided by a homosexual couple (even if they could have their own children naturally) is a great option for children who are in the foster care system. If they want to adopt and provide a loving home for a child that is in need of a family, I think it is less selfish to change that child's life for the better by giving them a family rather than bringing a child of your own into the world.

I'm arab and I have never tried to blow up any plane I have ever gotten on. The Christmas Day bomber was arab? Hmmmmmm......... And damn that Timothy McVeigh. He was arab and muslim. How about Charles Whitman when he shot all those people in Texas because he is arab and muslim. Or Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold when they shot and killed students and faculty at Columbine High School.

Nobody chooses to be gay?? Everyone has a choice and if you make a choice you have to be prepared to sacrifice something with any choice you make. I myself choose to dip Copenhagen and risk cancer or I could quit cold turkey and reduce that risk. Unfortunately I still dip and will my self to the consequences if I don't quit. One of a gay person's choice is to relinquish their reproductive abilities. A choice is a choice and only a person themselves can change that.

My parents are very proud of me. I was in Iraq 10 days before the first bombs fell back in 91. It just shames me that people are watering down this country so much that Hillary Clinton is our point man in solving our countries problems overseas.

I just heard on TV that there are 10,000 kids in need of permanent homes in the Seattle area. That is just one city in this huge country. I really doubt if those kids would care whether their adopted parents were Adam and Eve or Adam and Steve.

I can actually agree with you on that statement, but not with anything else you have posted on here. When someone chooses to use the word "faggot" to describe a group, I generally think they lack the intellect to have a rational and intelligent conversation.
