Perhaps if it is any sense easier it is because men are promiscuous by nature and women less so. Gay men on average have vastly more sexual partners than heterosexual men, perhaps because there are so many willing partners available.<br /><br />I'm sure it is easier to have an all-male executive board than one that includes women.<br /><br />It is indeed odd that progressive leftists celebrate homosexuality and same-sex marriage as "diversity" when it is in fact the exact opposite of diversity. <br /><br />In any other endeavor it is seen as better to have a woman included, but not marriage! <br /><br />David Docetadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14761794450982884139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-81192517871535499012017-05-01T09:02:26.828-05:002017-05-01T09:02:26.828-05:00Didn't Joan Rivers "get killed" afte...Didn't Joan Rivers "get killed" after saying this??

Although much research has examined the possible genetic, hormonal, developmental, social and cultural influences on sexual orientation, no findings have emerged that permit scientists to conclude that sexual orientation is determined by any particular factor or factors. Many think that nature and nurture both play complex roles; most people experience little or no sense of choice about their sexual orientation.<br /></i><br />http://www.apa.org/topics/lgbt/orientation.aspx<br /><br />Personally, I believe that "sexual orientation" is figment. It is a word used to describe something some thing that cannot be shown to exist. The idea is that "sexual orientation" is what causes certain sexual behaviors. But we can't read minds. All we can ever measure is behavior. We can't test for sexual orientation other than by self-reporting (which is behavior). Psychologists usually run away from self-reporting when it is possible to do so. If you ask people how tall they are -- an objective, repeatable measure -- people frequently misreport their height for a variety of reasons. <br />There is no "gay gene" or "straight gene." There is no blood test that can be done. There is no biological basis for homosexual or heterosexual orientation. There is no biological evidence that your sexual orientation is set at birth, or at puberty, or at any particular time of your life. <br /><br /><br /><br />Lewis Wetzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01200232293505119133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-39090230376111965282017-04-30T22:36:40.205-05:002017-04-30T22:36:40.205-05:00Pants,

Good for everyone. <br /><br />Are you OK with the fact that Jeff Bezos, closing in on the world's richest man only paid $1-2mm in income tax last year? I am. He'd pay even less under a flat tax. Not a problem for me.<br /><br />Buffett paid $10-20mm. I have no problem with that, either. <br /><br />I suspect that you are not.
