... Rob, I wish you a long life of happiness and health. And I share your wish to see Szasz given credit for his clear and logical thinking. But I ... These...
Where is Szasz supposed to have stated that the "cause" of homosexuality is "irrelevant"? Can someone provide a citation to that comment? I am dubious. ...
From: Martin Hi Rob, Among the most important things I have learned from reading Szasz's works over the years (more than 20), is an appreciation for language,...
... Kosher people? There are no kosher people, only kosher cows. That aside, I understand your point but your example is not optimal. ... I disagree. To them...
Martin, Your last comments seem to be rather like psycho-babble to me. At least some kind of babble. What do you mean that the difference between "gays" and...
From: Martin In my humble opinion and my life-long observations, human beings can learn to like anything if they choose to (including smoking cigarettes ugh!)...
From: Martin The terms normal or abnormal can be simply used statistically (which is the way I think it should be used) or as a badge of approval or...
... Following dietary ritual is chosen or learned behavior. Sexual preference is not purposefully chosen. It's a feeling. Behavior is chosen, but feelings are...
From: Martin Well, Mira it's apparent that you didn't grow up in a Kosher household. It's not a choice what the children eat in in a Jewish home. Actually ...
Martin, Maybe your mother's matza balls are in fact the best, not just because you ate her matza balls first. But maybe her sweet potatoes are not. Are you...
From: Martin If you read my diatribe carefully I said equally I as a kid could not like it - my father liked pickeled pig's feet and kishki (stuffed derma) and...
From: Martin I had only read the first part of cshoward's debate, I have thoughts on the so-called science of erotic preferences. With regard to the...
"Homosexuality and the brain", p. 78 "... there are many people who seem to be physically normal representatives of one sex or the other but who prefer sexual ...
From: Martin I'm not impressed by any of that pseudo-scientific psychobable. Human beings unlike lower animals fantasize and can have sex with same sex...
... Are you saying that instincts play no role in humans at all, or only not in sex? I used to think that human beings don't have instincts, that our superior...
From: Martin I said virtually no role (by the way thanks for the stealth spelling correction on pheromones) - the fact that human beings can choose to go ...
... Well, that's not quite true. When people come up against the Monty Hall Problem for the first time they often get the wrong answer because their instincts...
Thanks for mentioning the books by Elaine Morgan. I will try to find them at the library or at Barnes & Noble. I hope they don't turn out to be feminist...
From: Martin Alan wrote: Well, that's not quite true. When people come up against the Monty Hall ... I would rather believe that it's intuition not instincts...
... These are not examples of instincts, but of reasoning. ... The point is, that participation in human society depends on the correct function of those...

If anyone is interested in learning more about the book, "The Descent of Woman" by Elaine Morgan, it can be found through Amazon.com. Mira mentioned this...
From: Martin I agree with Mira. I'm not so sure what Elaine Morgan and her evolutionary theories (as plausible as they are - like the aquatic ape theory - has...
