Re: Society must choose: The Sodomites or Judeo-Christian Tradition
I speak the truth -- while the EOG's perverts keep trying to legitimize and normalize a vile, devious act by posting idiotic articles on gay penguins...
Who has perverse urges Joe?
Those who want to dictate how others live,or the ones who don't suppress their inhibitions,and function freely.
Is it better to force people to deny who they are,that's where perversity arises.
FYI,there's also a distinction between homo-sexuality,and pedo-philia,they are mutually exclusive,some "homo's" are "pedo's",as some "hetero's" are "pedo's",people who prey on children have other issues,which aren't connected to sexual preference.

The exploration of perverse urges has a rich history (how could it not?), running through the stories of Poe and the Marquis de Sade to Freud?s repressed desires and Darwin?s observation that many actions are performed ?in direct opposition to our conscious will.? In the past decade, social psychologists have documented how common such contrary urges are ? and when they are most likely to alter people?s behavior.
At a fundamental level, functioning socially means mastering one?s impulses. The adult brain expends at least as much energy on inhibition as on action, some studies suggest, and mental health relies on abiding strategies to ignore or suppress deeply disturbing thoughts ? of one?s own inevitable death, for example. These strategies are general, subconscious or semiconscious psychological programs that usually run on automatic pilot.
Perverse impulses seem to arise when people focus intensely on avoiding specific errors or taboos. The theory is straightforward: to avoid blurting out that a colleague is a raging hypocrite, the brain must first imagine just that; the very presence of that catastrophic insult, in turn, increases the odds that the brain will spit it out.
?We know that what?s accessible in our minds can exert an influence on judgment and behavior simply because it?s there, it?s floating on the surface of consciousness,? said Jamie Arndt, a psychologist at the University of Missouri.
