  • Mental illnesses aren't choices, they are reactions to a multitude of occurrences, such as biological reasons, genetic reasons, social reasons, emotional reasons, all sorts. So bad comparison, but I do understand what you're trying to say, being homosexual is often a personal preference that they've always had, not an active choice. It is sometimes, but most of the time from what I've seen and heard, it's just part of that person's makeup. Next time they start up at work, give em a good kicking

  • Idiot. You cant compare schizofrenia to homosexuality. Just because you cant choose them, does not make them the same.

  • I am a Christian and I am ashamed of Christians (and non-Christians) who say this kind of stuff! :( But people, I just request that you don't judge Christianity based on Christians, but on Jesus, the bible etc. Christians are imperfect just like the world we live in.

  • Your argument isn't congruent with science.

    We can identify- scientifically- the neurobiology that causes schizophrenia. Same with most depressions.

    Bulimia and anorexia are behavioral dysfunctions which is precisely what anti-gay types say homosexuality is. Personally, I don't care if it *is* a choice. In my life, the gay people I've met have been a generally higher caliber of people than John Q Public.

    Science may one day find the 'gay gene' but until then, homosexuality is a behavior.

  • @chealsx "You should really educate yourself on what you are talking about before you insult others for being ignorant." maaybey yoo shyud eduscate youself two FOLLOW YOUR OWN FUCKING ADVICE SMARTASS!!

  • Comment removed

  • @chealsx Well isn't that just taking the easy way out, you fucking pussy. You could just admit that you don't actually know how it works instead of making such bullshit excuses. It would at least make me respect your honesty a bit more.

  • I don't.

  • I agree with this guy

  • @chealsx Studying neuro through school, there has been a lot of differences regarding brain structures in homosexuals in heterosexuals such as size and more. There is no correlation to what this might mean, but it is very consistent when comparing. It is a subject that is hard to research and there hasn't been much research. But how do you explain a 5 year old boy "feeling different" at such a young age. There are many anomalies regarding homosexuality and there is no definite answer.

  • @futuredoc17

    This branch of science is stymied by ideology. There's a similar dearth of honest academia when it comes to neurobiological matters, controlled by race.

    Perhaps it's not just a 'coincidence' that Asians are really good at math, black folks show enormous talent for music, white guys are skilled creative planners, since those functions are all attributable to brain finite regions. Unfortunately, asking those questions may lead to answers we don't want to hear, so we haven't asked.

  • @chealsx If you're such a genius, then why don't you actually explain it instead of going around popping of to everyone like some sort of condescending retard. It is a proven fact that chemical imbalances are in all of us. If a fetus is exposed to a large amount of estrogen while in the womb it has a higher chance of being left handed. There is also a theory that says that high testosterone exposure may cause an increased chance for homosexuality, though nothing has been proven.

  • @chealsx Dude, it's not a choice, but it is a chemical imbalance. being straight is caused by a chemical imbalance. being left or right handed is a chemical imbalance. A chemical imbalance doesn't necessarily mean a bad thing or a disease, chemical imbalances are what make each of us unique and different from one another. It's as much of a chemical imbalance for my dad to be a bipolar gay as it is a chemical imbalance for me to be a schizophrenic bisexual. There is no perfect brain out there.

  • @AnonymousFawkes5 Umm... can I suggest you call it 'part of your brain chemistry' rather than a 'chemical imbalance' then? I think THAT's what's getting people's back up, 'cause 'imbalance' implies that there's something's 'wrong'.

  • watch?v=om6AA0u7lME this video.

  • Yea this is kinda super fucked. isn't homosexuality in your dna?

  • so you're saying homosexuality is a disease than?? lol wtf.

  • Yes being gay may not be a chioce, but its not good just as those other things you metioned. a chemical inbalance means that you are not a normal balanced person. You have a problem and its being gay.

  • well then ... I guess being ugly is a choice :)

  • So, you're saying homosexuality is a disorder. Agreed. And as with any disorder, it should be brought under control.

  • no I do care about people.

  • I chose to Click Like.....

    And I am a Bi-sexual Schizophrenic

  • I embrase homosexuals.  But I have to disagree on one point you made. I read a lot of Sylvia Browne and she believes that we choose our sexual preference before we're born. That means some people are born gay. I was speaking to an associate and he said he grew up with two wonderful parents and he's never been molested and at the age of eight he began being attracted to boys.

  • I did not say that evangelical beliefs about mental illness are right. I'm mentally ill and I detest those beliefs. Just saying that they make the exact same kind of psychophobic arguments about mental illness as they make homophobic arguments about LGBT people. Indeed, one cannot divorce the prejudice against LGBT people and the prejudice against mentally ill people in evangelical culture (not saying gays are mentally ill, just that the two groups are discriminated against for the same reason.

  • @tsolorio3001 I disagree with the family part. I haven't been close to my family in a long time. But I do have a wonderful support system. Great friends, wonderful therapists, awesome counselors, and psychiatrists who actually pay attention to me. I'm still going through hospitalization about once a year to get my meds reworked because my body keeps adjusting to them too quickly. Maybe one day, I'll either pass from this life, or get fixed. Either way, freedom is welcomed

  • Dude. I love your arguments. And the sad thing is, many people who know that I suffer from many mental illnesses tell me "look, if you just smile, you can be happy" I'm like "Really? Thanks! Here, let me smile through my tears for you." It pisses me off. If you don't know anything about anatomy, chemistry and biology, and if you're not a doctor, don't tell me how to treat myself. I can't control it. God, don't you think if I could, I would? You think I enjoy being this way? NO!

  • no offense but this nigga gay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • who chooses to have cancer

  • @weedguy209 did you get to 2:07? or did you just stop listening and comment?

  • ur fuckin stupid

  • @weedguy209 you give weedguy01-weedguy208 a bad name.

  • Poeple choose stupidity and to be not happy with life! Those are choice!

  • Are u retarded ? schizophrenia is a mental disorder. not a choice.if your gay, that has nothing to do with being gay. being gay is not a choice, its how you feel. all of my closest friends are gay/lesbians. comparing your feelings, about your activeness to the opposite sex. and a mental disorder are 2 different things. neither of them are a choice. just because someone shits on you cause you're gay, doesn't give you the right to shit on someone with a disorder. get some fucking respect .

  • @ChanaooRawrr Did you actually watch the video? He's saying if people say homosexuality is a choice then they might as well say every other disease out there is a choice to.

  • @nonononoey homosexuality isnt a fucking disease tho. skitzo is. there 2 different things and i think its wrong for this goof to compare 2 different things. if someone says shit to him cause hes gay. oh well build a fucking bridge and get over it. if someone says being gay is a choice, then thats their opinion. but being skitzo is a mental disorder. if your gay, thats not a fucking disorder. and no i didnt watch the all of the video. its pointless bullshit

  • @ChanaooRawrr Should have watched the video. He is talking in the perspective of bigots. He is saying if being gay is a choice then so is being schizophrenia. (Like it or not but our preferences are in our brain. Everything about us is in our brain. Gay, straight, Bi, Transexual, it's all related to brain activity.)

  • @ChanaooRawrr Um did you even watch the video? He said exactly everything you wrote...

  • @RagDollCandy no i didnt watch the video, cause its stupid and pointless. he doesnt have skitzo. if someone says to him being gay is a choice. then thats their opinion. but having skitz is a mental disorder. being gay isnt ffs. you guys need to get a clue. some people take offence to this shit

  • @ChanaooRawrr I'm sorry hun but he wasn't shitting on people like us with disorders. He was simply saying that we, like homosexuals or bisexuals, have little choice in what happens to us.

  • @AngelKitzis yeah. buuuut. like i said. if someone say to him "being gay is a choice" thats their opinion. just cause someone said that to him. doesnt mean he has to say something total different that some people take offence to

  • @Truints; I'm not talking to you, so take a hike...

  • So... I guess I see the point of the video, but you /did/ just end up comparing being gay with a mental disease. Am I the only one who thinks this a tad disrespectful?

  • I see your point, however, it is important to try to understand the reasons why a Christian would say that they believe it's a choice - Just as it is important for a Christian etc. to understand your reasons for believing that it is not a choice. Next time you get into those discussions, lest you make the problem worse, try to really understand. People a very complicated, but they rarely believe in things that strongly without good reasons - they might not just be homophobes.

  • i think most disorders (or homosexuality - i know it's not a disorder) are down to the influence of the environment and how you have been brought up... often there is a biological reason as well but mostly environmental. but of course it's not a choice!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • it is not.

  • The title is extremely offensive to me. Why did you name it this?

  • Comment removed

  • @poptartsandmusic To get people's attention, in hopes that they would listen to the entire video. If he had labeled it more appropriately, would you have clicked the link? Just saying. It's the old bait and switch routine.

  • Sadly, while there are a plethora of pharmaceutical options for the treatment of paranoid schizophrenia, there are few such treatments available for religious fanaticism, despite that both conditions involve similar symptoms.

  • @SaraviWrath LOL

  • I love this.

  • They pisses me off too.

  • i dont think homosexuality is a choice more than a foot fetish is a choice. and i dont think your born homo neither. I am pretty sure homosexuality is developed in childhood or early teens just like all sexualities.

  • you shouldnt mix apples with pineapplesor whatever your mixing here

  • why would you compare being gay to being sick or schizophrenic or having cancer. It is neither a choice, nor an illness, that needs to be cured..

  • @PathofReason i am a Christian and i know of homosexuals in healthy relationships. Are you saying that homosexuality is caused by a chemical imbalance in your brain? Just curious of your opinion thanks.

  • @lzrmascot i knwo you asked the question to another guy but i am pretty sure i have the REAL answer for you what causes homosexuality.

    All sexualities are developed in childhood or early teens, and the development is largely effected by the enviorment and influences. Thats why kids who get molested often turns out to be pedphiles themselves, and kids with dominant mothers often get into bdsm, etc etc. this goes for ALL sexual development which includes homosexuality

  • He wasn't implying that he really thought schizophrenia is a choice. You should watch a video before you comment on it..

  • Schizophrenia is not a choice. I have it! Do yu think tht I wanna have this disorder!

  • Schizophrenia is a brain disease is not a choice... Homosexuality is not a choice.... I think you smoke too early... 

  • @SL8804 Retard, Fucking seriously listen to what he is talking about before posting you stupid piece of shit.

  • Comment removed

  • almost everyone I know who has been diagnosed with Schizophrenia has had some traumatic (usually sexual abuse or mental/physical). and you use absolutely zero wisdom in your analogy of a sexual preference and a psychological disorder or disease. I believe if most people who say they 'struggle' with ANY sexual disorder would repent and ask Jesus to deliver them from it, they would be. There are many who have proven and testify to it. But you dont want to hear that.

  • Comment removed

  • I have schizophrenia and I didn't Chose it either. I got it from my dad.

  • @peterdanid1 Your absence of denial sounds healthy. Hang in there, buddy.

  • Its not a choice. I was told I have Schizophrena and being "Mentaly Ill"..... I cant help that I see and hear things that are not real. I just wish things were differnt before the war.

  • I realise this video is well intended, however, likening homosexuality to a disease is also offensive. Why not liken it to being left-handed, good at maths, or your eye-colour? It's not only *not* a choice, it's not a problem, unless ignorant people make it one.

  • @lorniepornie

    Well it's not a problem, but it is a mental and biological disorder.

  • Are you all stupid,he is saying schizophrenia isn't achoice, watch the fucking video before you comment dumbassess

  • @WorshipInTruth

    What? Psychosis? I'd argue that your claim in itself is psychotic.

  • Even retorting against religion makes you sound stupid.

  • Boy this guy is stupid, is he seriously comparing a sexual orientation or fetish to cancer?? Homosexuality is psychosis, it is a perversion.

  • @WorshipInTruth Sexuality itself is fucked up. Nothing in your body should be responsible for sexuality in your brain being linked to a physical body of the human. You sound retarded. And your name, WorshipInTruth, you sound like hypocritical fake religious bigot.

  • A predisposition to homosexuality may not be a choice (I certainly did not choose to be heterosexual it is just how I am) but actually engaging in the act of homosexuality is certainly a choice, we all have our perversions but the moral person chooses not to engage in them or fulfill them. Christians do not "hate" homosexuals, we hate the sin of homosexuality.

  • @WorshipInTruth Oh strange I was under the assupmtion that ALLLLL sexuality is a sin based off of the bible. The only time its ok is for HAVING KIDS. Sexual pleasure only exists so that stupid humans that cant figure out how to reproduce may accidentally do it naturally. Our species should be intelligent enough to realize this.

  • @DjCosmicRush Sex under the context of a marriage is not sinful, humans have sexual desires for the purpose of the continuation of our species. The Lord told us to "be fruitful and multiply".

  • @WorshipInTruth This is so true. There's no such thing as right and wrong in God's eyes. We're given free will and some things we do help in our growth and other things hinders us.

  • @swiyyahnm "There's no such thing as right and wrong in God's eyes"... WRONG! "We're given free will"... Also WRONG!

  • @WorshipInTruth Keep an open mind so you can learn new things.

  • schizophrenia is not a choice. it's a organic brain disorder with increased dopamine and serotonin and decreases GABA in the brain! it's genetic, it's envirnomental. NOT A CHOICE

  • @punyeuni He's saying that in an ironic way, He's saying it isn't a choice.

    He was saying it sarcastically.

  • @JIMMYJEE Thank you! These fucking retards blabbering to an argument that does not even exist!

    These kids are acting like retards "this" is a choice.

  • @punyeuni Are you retarded? He is talking about people saying that homosexuality is a choice, and so he says that mental disorders are choices.... You have got to be kidding me man, something is wrong with you.

  • @punyeuni Yes, schizophrenia IS a choice. Its not organic, for MOST people. Its about getting attention, no one hears voices, thats a load of shit.

  • @Stillwater900

    Do you actually believe that or are you just trolling? Sure, a small percentage of people pretend to have an illness to get attention, but schizophrenia is real and is not a choice. You say ' for MOST people, its about getting attention'. Where's your evidence?

    If it's a choice then I guess you should be able to choose to have it, right? Oh wait, you can't. Grow up and get educated.

  • @robmundo Apparently, you simply read the headline and made assumptions about what PathOfReason said in his video. If you had taken the time to WATCH the video you would have heard him say that schizophrenia IS NOT a choice.

  • Comment removed

  • @Stillwater900 Where were you educated? Or were you.

  • @Stillwater900 Really? What about feeling things crawling on your flesh? Seeing shadows move that aren't there? Yes. It is real. No, it's not about attention.  Ask anyone who has seen me have a schizophrenic episode. Sometimes I'm lucky enough to realize that it's not real, that it's just another episode, but it still freaks me out. And I hide. I don't like people seeing me like that. So YOU my friend are the load of shit. Fuck off with your judgements if you're not PhD

  • religion still exists? damn, i thought we were past that by now...

  • @gardenofskeetn hahahaha, true that man!

  • not all christians think its a choice. people are just stupid. the catholic church acknowledges that its not a choice. but rather it says ppl should not ACT on their desires. not quite the same, bc every has a choice to do that. but i also think thats stupid...just a seperate argument

  • you're an idiot.

  • I'd like to share some insight, define a homosexual? Is it the thought process that makes someone gay? Or is it the Action of having sex with a partner of the same race?

    Yes somebody can struggle with having thoughts of homosexuality, but that doesn't make them gay. Its the decision of having sex.

    No body said life would be easy, just like an alcoholic. Is someone an alcoholic because they have a strong desire to drink, unlike more people? Or is it the action of uncontrolled drinking habits?

  • So is homosexuality a conscious choice? Yes. Am I saying that its right or wrong? No, but someone decides to be gay.

    And the biology aspect.. is there a gay gene? Look at nature outside of humans.

  • @AntiBiotics1000 No. If I asked you to become gay on a whim, right now, make the decision to become gay, could you do it? No. You don't choose who you're attracted to.

    As for nature outside of humans, homosexuality is observed in thousands of other species. Homophobia is only observed in one. Take a guess at which.

  • @AntiBiotics1000 there is gay in non-human nature. And as a side point, in many primate communities, the females are dominant, the males are submissive. You could argue they have it more right than us.

  • homosexuality is no worse than any other lust, just stopping being gay is no good to God. the only thing that the biblical God says will do is for a person's whole spirit to be rebuilt so that they actively desire to follow God and hate sin. even though they still sin often and will continue to do so all their lives, they now hate it, whereas before they loved it. unbelievers cant see any benefit to faith because they are, in their desires, the antithesis of what they would be with faith.

  • @djr3000 explain to me what's wrong with loving a person. I thought Christianity was all about love?

  • @RedBeretSquad christianity is about being spared eternal death by God for breaking the terms upon which God gave us life- for taking the life God gave us and spending it on the evil which he hates, for not loving God.

    there is nothing wrong with loving a person, but it is the expression of the love that God sets rules upon. also, you equate sex to love. you can love somebody without having sex with them. it offends God when we tell him what sex is acceptable when he created humanity.

  • @djr3000 so you think homosexuality is exclusively about sex?

    I have nothing more to say to you

  • @RedBeretSquad i think you're really reading what u want into my comments.. Again, you are using equivocal language; you are discussing homosexual culture, whereas i am discussing homosexuality, which has an established dictionary meaning of pertaining to same sex sexuality. the latter is really what the man in this video was talking about. Homosexuality must be about same sex sexual practice otherwise the word loses all useful meaning. one is a person first, sexuality is a component of that.

  • i disagree with you i have epilepsy depression anxiety add and schizophrenia you think that i chose to live the way i do so tell me do you think that i chose to have all thies medial problems i dont think so you fucking dumb ass!!!

  • @SuperMartinez1221 Did you even listen to what he said ?.

  • @MrDeadsea000 lol he probably didnt hes has schizophrenia which is sad

  • @SuperMartinez1221 lol....he's the dumb ass.........mmmhmmm....watch a vid before you comment.

  • U kido makes a lot of sense I agree with you and apreciate somebody enligth a little the ignorance here, thx for the statment

  • Schizophrenia is fucked up. i have it. i see flashing lights...and the most fucked up thing about it is that me and my cousin see them at the same time in the same room (flashes come from outside. not a cars headlights or burnt out bulbs. ive checked. it's in a forest). i know im not crazy. TBH i believe that there truly is something beyond what we know about schizophrenia...

  • If somone believes homosexuality is a choice, then that means that they, on demand can become gay, which in itself is gay.

  • I have schizophrenia and i didn't fucking chose to be this way! What a uneducated thing to say. Go back to church fuck stick and learn not to judge.

  • @freakga how about you learn to not jump the gun and listen to the damn video! i have schizophrenia and i couldn't agree more with him, once i listened to it

  • I have schizophrenia and when i saw the title of this vid i was gonna absolutely fuckin link it at him in the comment section, because I've been trying to get well and be normal all my life and I've had people tell me that before. Maybe it is a choice, but if it is, cunts who haven't lived my life for a day should shut the fuck up, because they wouldn't last 5 minutes in mu shoes...

  • the worst thing would be a gay schizophrenic midget negro

  • @nattensvaffel hahahahhahaha made me piss myself this

  • @nattensvaffel like gary coleman

  • I came here to correct you, I see that titles can be misleading....don't take anything personally, people project their own fears and weaknesses onto others who differ in one way or another.

    btw gays have been accepted throughout history in most cultures, I think homophobic people are closet homosexuals anyway.

  • I dont care whether ur gay or straight, the way you wanna live your life is up to you, at the end of the day the only person who can judge us is god, and unless he tells us otherwise, homosexuality is fine. Live whatever way u wanna live!

  • I totally agree with you... I was once anorexic and I don't remember me ever wanting to be that way something just came over me and then I became anorexic

  • started taking fish oil, and I feel finer than ever, no problems. Im sure the pharmaceutical companies could make drugs to treat homo-sexuals, but they might get sued/accused of hate crimes and no one would buy their treatments.

  • Delusional, Paranoid, and screwed over my heart beat rhythem. It sure made my add go away though, but created other problems. The last 2 weeks I was on adderall, every time I took it, I got extreme anxiety for no reason, no cause. I just felt terrible and then I finally had this schizophrenic-like attack (tunnel vision, felt like I was loosing grip on reality, my loved ones looked like shadows that weren't there with me, I felt alone even though They were holding me. I quit the adderall

  • I started taking in lots of fish oil, and haven't had a problem since. (age 18 btw). I didn't turn to pharmaceutical medications because they're really just there to take off the side affects temporarily to make a profit, they're not in to cure it cause they won't make as much money as they would selling you a life-time of temporary treatment.

    I believe it was the Aderrall medicine that fucked my brain over. I took Aderrall (supposed to fix ADD) and it did a good job, but it made me

  • So I believe people that are homos just sort of picked up on the thought process of their parents. Maybe they were just picking up on their moms side and thought more like their mom.

    People with schizophrenia do have a chemical imbalance though, they have a lack of DHA chemical which is found in fish oil. america foods are packed with modified corn, and soy beans, but rarely any omega-3 chemicals which contain DHA. I think I may have had a mild schizophrenic attack a couple months back, but

  • My step dad is a homo sexual and he raised me. From time to time I might get gay thoughts, but I block that shit out cause it disgusts me. I'm sure homo sexuals get gay thought, but they accept them.

    I just assume that my gay thoughts originate from the thought-pattern of the guy that raised me and that they're not really my thoughts but have been inherited.

    I also have a case of ADD. I don't believe it was choice for me to get it, but it just sort of happened cause my mom has ADD as well.

  • Forget about the religious nuts. You'll never change their minds because their minds are shut tight. They'll just piss you off and hurt you. Forget about what they think. They're ignorant and judgmental. They believe what they're told to believe and don't know any other way. Actually, they're afraid to think for themselves because they're afraid of demons and eternal hell. You know what's right and wrong. You seem like a good guy. Just listen to your heart.

  • Maybe your theory is true.maybe your theory is not true....But dont looking bullshit

  • I believe that diarrhea is a choice. I mean I've never tortured myself with mental images of semi liquid feces and I have strong bowels. I don't understand how some people dare to say they didn't choose to be incontinent.

  • I think that it is possible to consciously induce schizophrenia, as well as homosexuality and depression. Maybe even cancer.

  • Hey Pathoreason. I am sorry for ealier comments. I didn't take time to listen to your full video. I am so so sorry. I read your piece under your name and listened more to your video. I am so sorry. But the comment still goes out to those who still think that cancer, being gay, schizophrenia and Depression are choices. Thank you for not thinking it.

  • to hell with you Depression and Schizophrenia are not choices. So hey you can burn in hell. When you get cancer you tell me it's a choice. Hellllllooooo. I knew an Idian woman who ate healthy all her life and exercised and still got cancer was it her damn choice. You go to hell and stay there!!!!!

  • Self created man created and cause by laziness and complacency toward their life.

    Please believe the mind on drugs are not drugs just the mind

  • I'm a depressed, anorexic, schizophrenic, fag, so I guess I'm just fucked,

  • when you become christian you don't live for this world anymore you live for god, in god there is no homosexuals or anything else, you are one spirit with god and then you live only for him and not for your own life.

  • The one you want to have close relations with is from free choice. I think this is a school example of what govt. schools have been telling kids from early age; that they don't have control over who they like.

  • your really cute can i have kiss im a (boy) by the way 

  • Homosexuality isnt a DISEASE you blockhead.

  • Hey I'm a Christian and I don't think homosexuality is just a choice. Maybe for some people, but there is evidence saying that it isn't. Not bashing your video, just saying not all Christians have a problem with gay people.

  • fag, die.

  • ay you wanna kno tha cure for homosexuality iz, dont tell no one its a BIG secret (pussy) pussy iz da cure drippin wet sweet pink pussy

  • If it's a choice

    That implies that there is no cure

    And that there's nothing wrong with her

    Were you to say it were not a choice

    One might propose that there is something wrong and that it SHOULD be a choice

  • Sorry all sexuallity is sort of choice. Liking boys or girls is BULLSHIT. so is religion. Sex has nothing to do with genders. its SO STUPID. it may not be a conscious choice but its more like brainwashing. like religion. culture and society is all brainwashing. its not always bad but it is definately in your heads. if you knew about sociology you would know how this works. most things arent your choice but they arent born with. its what you decided you are. when you really arent anything

  • @DjCosmicRush No sexuality is a choice, it's build in.

  • Well said. Ignorant fucks should read this.

  • @linz85able I do agree indeed. Well written and well said.

  • @953darkangel Thanks.

  • @DjCosmicRush Who you are attracted to isn't a choice. It's mostly a mix of chemicals in the receivers brain, mixing with the pheramones of the giver, mixed with atmosphere, timing, phase of cycle, and many other factors. That being said...what one decides to do with that attraction is a choice.

  • @AngelKitzis I agree with the first. The second part though, I would argue that "what one decides to do with that attraction is a choice" is not true. I am not so sure that free will exists at all to be honest. I think every choice and though you make is based on the neurotransmitters, environment, and more. This isn't related to the topic but do you believe in free will? You say you have schizophrenia, I have a feeling I may develop it fairly soon. Maybe you can help me figure out myself.

  • @DjCosmicRush Okay. On the second part, I simply meant you can choose to sleep with someone, or not sleep with them, or only go part of the way with them. That's your choice. Yes, I'm paranoid schizophrenic. And hun, I can't even figure myself out.

  • So you're comparing homosexuality to mental illnesses.

    That's a lot better than comparing it to a choice. ..

  • @MindFxckd Homosexuality is neither mental illneess nor choice, it's just how someone is, they just find the same sex sexuallty attractive. But you just said that ud rather gayness to be a mental illness... thats not very nice.

  • @linz85able

    Its not an "illness" but it is a brain difference that can be explained biologically, and might be described as an abnormality.

  • @almostskater3210 Homosexuality or schizo?

  • @linz85able

    Homosexuality... schizophrenia is definitely an illness.

  • @almostskater3210 Aye, i agree then.

  • you are a fool and have little understanding of psychology, philosophy etc... Homosexuality is as much a choice as child molesting is a choice... we can choose which sexual acts we take part in, what we fantasize about etc...

    When I was younger and unmarried I had many sexual partners, and yes I would at times find teenage girls attractive... but I chose not to act sexually towards them. I chose not to masturbate thinking about a 13 year old as I believed it to be morally wrong despite my libido

  • @TheDmashisno

    Ya but that's just you; you're using a logical fallacy by comparing your brain and life to others with mental problems. I'm sorry but some mental disorders make people act a certain way, and in many cases it is near impossible to control, especially sexual disorders, because one of our most primary and ancient functions is to mate. Those people need help, that is true, but it has been shown that repressing things like that can leave people with severe psychological problems.

  • I agree with this guy, on the video!

  • Uhm homosexuality is a choice...

    Just like not having sex anymore.
