Everything you do is a choice.  Everything you don't do is a choice.

True. But what about things you ARE?

Did you choose to be brown-eyed? I don't know if homosexuality is a choice or a condition, but I tend to lean towards thinking that it's a condition. Like brown-eyed or red-haired.

Whether your skin is brown or your eyes are green has no bearing on the choices you make.

A person's skin color does influence the choices he or she makes.

Not to be racist but it actually does, because of the treatment you will recieve.

It may factor into your choices - if you let it.  But if you have the victim mentality, then, hey, no worries.

It factors into my aversion to strolling about Compton after dark.

I'd like to prevent victimization wherever possible.

Right. Factor in = affect. Good, we agree.

If you let it.

The color of your skin may affect how others choose to relate to you.  But you choose how to react to how you are treated by others.

So what we've gotten down to is the distinction of homosexual inclinations from homosexual acts.

You ever feel like punching someone in the face? (Well, aside from me  :lol: )

I have.

A few times.

Okay, many.   :-P

But I never have (yet).  Why?  Because I choose to let it slide at the time (but, later on, I may say, "Boy I wish I had punched that guy in the face!"   :-P  )

If we let our feelings (which are governed by our intellect) govern all of our behavior, then what are we?

I'm reminded of this quote (from somewhere):

"Master your feelings before they master you."

Bottle up your feelings, one day you will pop (or fall down and start rolling around).

But if we all the time push our feelings into the background and ignore them then we lose that which makes us human.

That would make us closer to andorians than vulcans?
