trask's maritime name was Flipper he was a dirty nipper he lined his ass with broken glass and circumcised the skipper

no slight taken, snoboy. Where is my thinking off-base? I don't think most gay males would wish the emotional load that they had to deal with through their adolescence on anybody else. Gay couples can't conceive kids together. Isn't their desire to adopt kids more a statement about demanding to be accepted than it is about being thoughtful toward a potential adoptee kid? Isn't parenting about doing the right thing for the child in your house, and not about righting society's wrongs?

We will eventually annex you for your water!

One of my goldmine ideas for the next ten-year horizon is to come up with a tattoo-removal practice. It would be like a modern dentist's office, complete with cute technicians, laughing gas, tv's...and you the "tattoo removal doctor" spend only about 15 minutes per patient. A real $ mill.

And just to add an elitist twist to that, it can be argued that you do more damage to the environment if you are procreating in the poorer parts of the world, unknowingly living not only a hard life but one that contributes much more on a prorata basis to environmental degradation than the western world. Maybe they should bring back Indira Gandhi.

If you are that much of a True Believer, then not procreating is the only right thing to do. The best thing for the global environment would be to go back to the world population of the 1800s.

I agree. He uses something the rest of us here lack: the art of subtlety. In a kind of reverse, way he is the MacMahon to trask's Carson.

lummux, that's a sin unto itself

I love trask's post, complete with the "lesbian love" avatar!

Loving and caring for the kids IS the #1 criterion, but you have to acknowledge that it would be one hell of a load for a child to bear around his/her peers, especially a male. We can debate whether that's good or right or fair until the cows come home, but appears to me to be reality.

...the doctors said "we can rebuild it...we can make it stronger than it was..."

yeah, but it's a relative, continuous (albeit logrythmic) curve rather than clear, discrete levels where you can draw easy lines, don't you agree? I just wish there was understanding and debate about where to draw that line, rather than all-or-nothing attitudes bereft of knowledge.

It drank milk laced with rBST from a cow with BSE...

Why do climbers care about this issue? I give it this acid test: How would I feel putting my son into that environment, say, if my wife and I were killed in a car crash? I believe the answer is that he COULD handle it, but I would be heartbroken for him to have to tote that load around from age five to age 30. It would seem almost unfair. My opinion...and everyone is entitled to their own!

Whether it's or or Isn't it all about the

C'mon, that's the kind of broad-brush pap that doesn't make any sense... We started "f'ing with the gene pool" thousands of years ago when we started breeding animals (Mendel only figured out what we were doing, and really put it to work. He considered himself an environmentalist and nature-lover.) Humans have been messing with genes, transplanting strains of things around the world (the Europeans owe us for saving their wine industry more than 100 years ago!), etc. long before now. I think it just comes down to a failure to communicate with consumers, give them choices, and not box ourselves into a "can't go back" situation, as Monsanto has done with bt and roundup-ready seeds.
