JessicaRabbit:A straw man is an attempt to introduce and refute a weaker or non-existent argument while ignoring the main issue of concern. In this case, your trying to connect homosexuality with creativity, consciousness, and love, as if they are not all mutually exclusive concepts. Actually, sexuality exists in a vacuum. It doesn't have to be connected to anything. That's why sex for money is possible. Some animals only have sex during specific mating periods. No connection whatsoever with love or any other emotion. Just a standalone event. For rhetorical sake, I will emphasize again that your attempts to delegitimize homosexuality by framing it as "unnatural" is EXACTLY what has been used to justify discrimination and oppression throughout history, and I won't let that harmful narrative go unchallenged.Once again, nature is purposeful. Homosexuality serves no purpose. Hence, not natural. I would stop calling it unnatural if you can explain what purpose it serves. Other than our collective degradation, that is. ![]() I find it very convenient that you can dismiss love and creativity on one hand as abstract concepts when they don't fit your narrative, and yet you expect sexual attraction to be reduced to a single biological process. A bare faced cop-out if I've ever seen one. So we haven't found a "gay gene". Okay! So flipping what? How is this conclusive proof for you that same-sex attraction can't be a natural part of human diversity? Do I need to remind you that our understanding of human biology is still evolving? And what about the numerous scientific studies that have found evidence of same-sex behavior in various animal species? Are you saying that they are all just deviant outliers?Na wa o. Are love and creativity not abstract concepts? Even though we know they are real, they are intangible, no? Yes. Sexual attraction is a simple biological process. We understand the biochemical interplay of pheromones and neurotransmitters that mediate sexual attraction. It can be hacked. Surely you know this. @bold Now you're getting it. ![]() LOL, what?! Are you taking the piss?@bold: I'm not sure how you were able to draw that out from my comments. I am saying that any relationship can have all these (companionship, love, emotional support) without sex. However, a homosexual relationship does not exist without sex. See where I'm going? By the way, I suppose you're implying that same-sex attraction is somehow artificial or forced, when you use the term "unnatural urges"? Have you ever stopped to consider that sexuality actually exists on a spectrum, and that human experience is far more nuanced than your binary thinking allows? The only thing "unnatural" I can observe here is your absolute dictatorship over what constitutes a legitimate relationship based on your own personal biases and prejudices.What spectrum? LGBTQIA+? I laugh. Or is there something backed by real science that you want to share? The human experience is nuanced I agree. But sexual desire is not. It's the pursuit of dopamine. Even rats have the same experience. Go figure. I don't have prejudices. I follow science, logic, and common sense. It's you who wants to be woke. And this is exactly where you're getting tangled in your own biological binary because, for some reason, you find it hard to tell the difference between the origin of our instincts and the entirety of human experience. Our bodies may be wired for reproduction. That much is true. However, our minds and hearts are capable of so much more. You're acting as if our free will as human beings, in tandem with our diverse personalities and emotional complexities, plays absolutely no role in human connection, and that is where you sound like a true reductionist. That being said, I couldn't help but notice that in a hilarious twist of irony, you went ahead to make the same point I was trying to make when you made that comment about enjoying intellectual fireworks with friends: We can and do experience deep connections with others beyond just sexual attraction! So why must we diminish the validity of same-sex relationships just because they don't fit into your narrow definition of biological imperatives?Again. The origins of our sexual instincts are biological. Even animal experience these same instincts. Portions of the human brain can be stimulated with electrodes to achieve orgasm, the endpoint of sexual congress. No need to romanticize anything. It's not my definition, it's science. Whilst you "color inside the lines", please note that you're actively ignoring the loving families that exist despite your disapproval, as well as the scientific consensus that sexual diversity is a natural part of human experience. You'd be better off embracing the beauty of diversity than trying to fit everyone into your narrow, monochrome vision.If you put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig. It's pretty basic actually. First of all, your use of the term "homosexual community" is an example of the slippery slope fallacy, suggesting that if one event occurs, it will inevitably lead to a series of extreme consequences without providing evidence for such a chain of events. Recall that there are individuals who still identify as bisexual or queer, allowing for potential reproduction. Like I said earlier, human sexuality exists on a spectrum. Furthermore, assisted reproductive technologies like surrogacy, in vitro fertilization, and sperm/egg donation already exist and could continue to evolve, in tandem with adoption and foster care which remain viable options for building families. And that's not even factoring human ingenuity and adaptability. As a species, we've come a really long way since the Stone Ages. Most of the things we've accomplished now would have been considered near impossible then. In years to come, we could potentially discover new solutions and innovations in reproductive technology.All of these prove that homosexual relationships are of no value to the human race. Innovative solutions that would make two people of the same gender give birth? Yeah sure. That's because you missed the point. The penguins' ability to raise a chick together, regardless of its origin, shows that they're capable of exhibiting parental care without regard to gender. It's a testament to the flexibility of nature, and a reminder that love and family come in many forms. Plus, in the wild, many species of birds and mammals have been observed engaging in same-sex behaviors. So yes, evolution has a more vibrant and diverse palette than your imagination.Sorry. Love and family do not come in many forms. At the basic level, it's father, mother, and children. Well, I consider being wilfully ignorant to be unnatural, but here you are. As for my submissions, I wouldn't call it "wokism", just a lack of tolerance for intolerance.I'm not intolerant. I go where the science goes. One is a consensual relationship between adults and the other is a non-consensual and harmful act against minors. I don't see how they are comparable at all. The survival of the human species is not dependent on individual sexual orientation, as people of all orientations can still contribute to society in various ways.Actually it does. The human race is already in real danger of population collapse. Birth rates are falling in the developed world. Homosexuality doesn't help at all. Labeling someone as a homophobe or transphobe is not an attack, but rather a description of their behavior when they express discriminatory sentiments towards marginalized groups. You need to recognize that everyone is entitled to their beliefs and opinions, but when those beliefs perpetuate harm and discrimination, they must be addressed.No, it's virtue signalling unless you show the superiority of your view, or the inferiority of their own, which you haven't. Sorry to be the one to break it to you, but the world doesn't revolve around your personal preferences. Human rights are not up for debate, and neither is the inherent worth and dignity of every individual, regardless of their sexual orientation.I know. However, human rights are debated all the time in parliaments across the world. Don't know what you are talking about. How brave of you to hide behind a facade of faux confidence while casually dismissing ideologies you don't agree with as "wokist". Your intolerance is showing, and it's not a good look for you.You really love big words. It's not an ideology. It's a view founded on science, logic, common sense, and a healthy sense of human decency. Your virtue signalling is showing. It's probably a good look in this woke generation. |
JessicaRabbit:Homexuality is sexual behaviour between people of the same gender. Love, creativity, consciousness and similar phenomena are abstract concepts that can exist without this behaviour. You are smartly introducing a straw man argument by connecting any of these concepts to homosexual behaviour. Do you need to be sexual to be creative, to love, or to explore consciousness? By saying there is no gay gene, I'm saying there is no biological rationale for same-sex behaviour. And yes, I am also saying that something that is physical like sexual attraction or desire can be reduced to a biological process. Once again, love and creativity are abstract concepts -- apples and oranges. Interesting. For a second there I thought we were discussing grown-up concepts like love, commitment, and basic human rights. But apparently, we need to circle back to Relationship 101. The value of same-sex relationships, my dear, is the same as any other relationship: companionship and emotional support. Shocking, right?Companionship, emotional support, and love can be enjoyed in a relationship between a mother and her child, two good friends, a teacher and a student etc. None of this involves or requires any sexual attraction or behavior. Sex is the defining marker of gay relationships. Invoking love and emotional support is an attempt to give legitimacy to unnatural urges. If you reduce human connection to a mere baby-making machine, then romance novels are about as thrilling as reading the appliance manual. Nobody is denying the role evolution plays. Of course we're all wired to seek out mates, but it isn't just physical compatibility we look out for when we're searching for mates. We also crave intellectual fireworks, shared values, and a good laugh once in a while.Red herring alert! Biologically speaking, the ultimate goal of what you refer to as human connection is procreation. I'm not reducing anything. The science is clear. Intellectual fireworks, shared values and a good laugh are possible without gay sex. Don't you enjoy these things with your friends? Plenty of same-sex couples raise families through adoption or fostering, or have you never heard of uncles who raise their nieces and nephews, or the deep bonds of chosen families? Evolution may nudge us in a certain direction, but it doesn't necessarily dictate our destination. We humans, with our glorious free will, get to color outside the lines.Same-sex couples raising families does not prove anything. It only means that deviant behaviour is becoming mainstream. We must color those lines properly, else our collective future will be at risk. The ability of a community to thrive and survive in any species is dependent on factors beyond just individual advantages. Cooperation, mutual support, and social bonding are essential for the survival of communities. Evolution isn't just an individualistic process.I don't see how this helps your argument. A homosexual community cannot reproduce. How will it survive? Having a laugh? Hardly.They hatched an egg that was given to them by the zookeepers. Doesn't sound like evolution to me. You're just letting yourself get carried away by hyperbole here. Conflating sexual diversity with non-consensual behaviors is a misguided and harmful equivalence. Sexual diversity refers to the natural range of human sexual orientations and gender identities, including being gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, and others. These identities are a normal and healthy part of human experience, and deserve respect, recognition, and protection.There's nothing normal or healthy about any of this behaviour. What is normal about being transgender? Na wa o. Wokism. 😀 Then on the other hand, you've got pedophilia and bestiality: harmful and non-consensual behaviors that exploit and harm vulnerable individuals, which are rightly rejected by society. There is a clear distinction here.There's a distinction quite alright, but it's far from clear. They are all sexual inclinations that do nothing for our collective survival or advancement. I don't quite understand the bit about pride marches and rainbow flags. These are symbols of pride and resilience for a community that has faced historical discrimination and marginalization. All they are seeking is acceptance and inclusivity. How are they attacking anyone's values or beliefs?Tagging me a homophobe, transphobe, or intolerant because I disagree with your sexual proclivities on the grounds of faith, cultural ideals, or common sense is not an attack on my values or belief? Don't worry, I'm sure your fragile worldview can handle a few basic human rights discussions. Maybe take a deep breath and try again.It's not just about human rights no matter how much you want to paint it so, it's about sanctity, values, morals, decency, and the battle against depravity. My worldview is far from fragile, I just enjoy calling out wokist crap. |
JessicaRabbit:It means there's no natural, biological, or rational reason to be sexually attracted to someone of the same sex. I don't see how it is relevant to the legitimacy and value of same-sex relationships.I'm curious. What is the value of same-sex relationships? Human attraction and love are complex phenomena that cannot be reduced to simple genetic determinism.It's not complex at all. The ultimate goal of attraction is procreation and perpetuation of any species, something homosexuality cannot accomplish. Evolution isn't just about individual advantages. It's also about the survival and thriving of communities.True. How does two people of the same-sex going at it help achieve this? What if the evolutionary advantage of homosexuality lies in its ability to promote diversity, creativity, and social cohesion... which are actually all essential for the progress and flourishing of our species?Surely you're having a laugh. Sexual diversity is a natural part of the human experience, and pathologizing it will accomplish nothing other than the further stigmatization and marginalization of already vulnerable communities. Don't you think they have it bad enough already?What is sexual diversity and where do we draw the line? Pedophilia, bestiality, etc. At what point is it enough or do you permit of forms of sexual deviation in the name of being tolerant and accepting? Should we accept a way of life that assaults our sense of virtue, faith, family values, and everything we hold sacred because we don't want to be seen as intolerant? Gay people would probably not have much trouble if they kept their unnatural urges to themselves. But it's them who go on pride marches and wave rainbows in our faces isn't it? With all due respect, your stance reeks of the same fear and intolerance that has been used to justify discrimination throughout history. The only backwardness here is the refusal to acknowledge the progress of human understanding and the stubborn insistence on imposing one's own beliefs on others. Your words are not a defense of traditional values, but a thinly veiled attempt to justify discrimination, and I'll have no part in it. Instead, I'd rather stand with those who champion love, acceptance, and the human spirit in all its vibrant colors.This part of your comment is wokist drivel. No need responding to it. |
AlbertNewton:This makes sense. If any genetic markers for homosexuality are found (doubtful), they should be considered negative mutations. |
sparko1:There's nothing important about this discussion. It's not a new topic. |
JessicaRabbit:Homosexuality serves no purpose. It's perverse. There's no gay gene. Nature is purposeful. What evolutionary advantages does being gay confer on the human species? People have the right to pursue their fantasies of perversion, but we must call it what it is -- perversion. Don't make it sound like those who disagree are backward or primitive. |
theredaddy:You be mumu. Homosexuality will cause offence in Nigeria, it's a normal thing in several Western countries. Go figure. |
theredaddy: |
maasoap:So which rule did she violate by saying this. Is saying that you've have sex for money an offence on social media? Not regardless of what you did. The truth is that you may post some things that violate their terms and conditions but may escape them sanctions if people don't report you. But if your post doesn't violate their rules, 1 million reports can't make your handle blockedTell me exactly which rule she violated. Take a screenshot and show me. |
theredaddy:Oga shut up. What is offensive is subjective. There is nothing she said that is against the rules of any social media site. She did not make any hate speech. It's just your collective egos that were pierced and it was the reports that got her accounts shut down. Tell me which social media rule she violated. Can you highlight it and show me? |
JessicaRabbit:Yes. Her delivery triggered men. How did she disrespect men's agency and consent? She only said she sleeps with a certain calibre of men. The men who did not fall into that group brought out their knives. |
theredaddy:Oga. There are social media pages and groups where these things happen. Onlys fans is not on the same pedestals as facebook, X and instagram, only fans is private and entails premium membership i.e you intentionally subscribe for explicit content you want to view. private misconduct is allowed not public.Oga there are pages and podcasts on Facebook that discuss the activities of OnlyFans models. Explain which part of this lady's comments qualifies as misconduct. What makes you think women can't report, whose gender image is on the line ?? or does her action & utterances glorify women's image, e.g nobody uses report button more than pocoh antas/friends on NL (fact)Suddenly men are concerned about gender image (whatever that means) It is no crime to carry olosho and pay 10k, as long as payment is made no Sin, lets assume the lady was your lil sister will you be happy she is prostituting ?It was because of the price. Men who pay that kind of money are not bothered about what she said. So far say you dey sleep with woman wey no be your wife, you no better pass that girl. Premium as measurement/scale, aside breast and yansh weytin she carry, is it name, brand, or net worthNa brand o my brother. Bottled water for go-slow no be the same price as bottled water for club, even though na from the same factory. Think about it. |
theredaddy:There are pages on social media dedicated to hook up, sugar mummy, sugar boy etc. There are even some dedicated to interviewing Only Fans models where they discuss the details of their trade. None of them violate the terms of social media use. The rage is coming from Nigerian men who believe that she should not charge as much. Finish. Most of this men have no problem patronizing hook up girls of 10k or less. Their annoyance is, why is she demanding their entire net worth for a romp? Na just wetin dey pain una be that. There are far more explicit and raunchy statements, images, and videos on social media that don't get censored. Everything get premium, if you can't afford it, just move on. No need to insult or wish her evil. The girl self get sharp mouth sha. |
maasoap:She said she only sleeps with men with money. That's free and protected speech. It's her right to sleep with whoever she likes. How does that violate their terms and conditions? If enough people report your account, you will get blocked regardless of what you did. That's what happened here. Nigerian men are just angry that the amount she was calling was above their range. What has self-respect got to do with it? |
joseph1832:In order words, nothing. |
joseph1832:Explain how she's stupid please because I don't see it. |
oluwaseyi0:Truly terrible. Her comments are triggering but she has the right to make them. Nigerian men are largely hypocrites. I think triggered people reported her accounts and got her blocked. She did not do anything wrong. |
PHIPEX:Serious lies. How many planes so they have in their fleet? |
Garri is locally sourced and produced. Can someone explain why prices are skyrocketing? |
joseph1832:It's a long story, but Israel struck first if you examine it carefully. |
cococandy:@Bold False. |
These people and the way they bring their family matter to the public domain? Do they think the public really cares about what happens to them or who is right? It's just entertainment to us. No different from BBNaija or a football match. |
thesicilian:It's actually unlikely that this is true. How can Airpeace have 14,000,000 passengers annually. That comes to over 38,000 passengers daily. How many aircrafts do they have? This is a fat lie. |
Okiton:Hilarious 😂😂😂 |
cococandy:Nobody shamed anybody. He's just saying men should not pay millions as bride price for non-virgins. That the point of the thread. You're just holding on to the 2k. |
Gerrard59:Largely true. But planes carry more people and cover longer distances, so they have the lowest incidents per billion miles covered. Most accidents are caused by human error and I suspect the excellent safety record of the Shinkansen has something to do with Japanese meticulousness. It will probably drop significantly if that technology spreads everywhere. Imagine Nigerians running a bullet train. |
franchasofficia:Such a train would be so fast and any accident would be catastrophic. Planes will still be safer. |
A 6000 feet drop would be really traumatic. An airplane is truly a marvel. |
cococandy:I don't think this was the point of the thread at all. Your reactions are disingenuous. Reno as silly as he usually is saying, if the girl gave her virginity for 2k or whatever small amount, the prospective groom should not pay millions in bride price. He didn't say the girl doesn't deserve a bride price. |
Charly68:Totally not correct. It's less than 24,000 users according to the thread. |
