Nah, there a (sic) damned good reason that (sic) those pursuing such professions are intellectually endowed.
Evidently that endowment does not include facility in written English. Perhaps such skills are reserved for the ignorant unwashed masses.

Congratulations. You've done a nice job of making a strawman argument over grammatical errors in order to dodge the content of the argument. I guess that makes you the elitist.
i don't presume that homosexuality is genetic. in fact, like all other behavior, i believe that it's chosen.
I was speaking hypothetically, to answer his question. Thought I had made that clear.
thanks for the explanation. it seems this recessive trait is becoming more and more prevalent - at least in post Christian europe and america.
I'm pretty sure that the percentages are about the same historically. More likely, what you see as an increase is a combination of increased access to media for all types of people via the Internet and the fact that people just feel less compelled to keep it to themselves.
just a question that puzzled me since those who say that homosexuality is genetic and not a behavior choice are also usually strong evolutionists. it would seem to me that this gene would be getting less prevalent not more prevalent as the human species continues to evolve but apparently that's not necessarily the case. hopefully, it won't continue to multiple to such an extent that the whole human race is homosexual - although that would solve the "population explosion" problem and alleviate the need for so many abortions.

BTW....................GOOGLE is your friend.
Students are usually taught by their teachers to "cancel" things, and they forget the actual mathematical operation they're doing. Couple that with being so used to playing with variables, forgetting they stand for actual (oops, almost said "real") numbers, and most people fall for this joke.
Speaking of "real," more geek humor: "God is real, unless declared integer."
20 points to any old-timers who get that one.
Whatever genetic component homosexuality has, the expression of it has changed quite a bit just in historical times. It's not an all or nothing proposition. There is no reason someone with homosexual proclivities can't have children. They can have heterosexual sex to procreate, and on the side have homosexual sex. It's almost never been 100% one way.
I would agree that generally doing "good" science requires knowledge and practice. But would you not agree that at least some important scientific work has been accomplished by persons who had little formal "scientific" training?
That discussion was over a long time ago
I'd rather be elite.
Well done! It's nice to hear from a critic.
I accept the defeat and promise to try harder next time.
I wonder about that. I've read of an observed mutation that enables metabolism of nylon. It is a frame shift mutation which means that the resulting protein is essentially random. Also, I am continually amazed by the amount of difference between the codes for functionally similar proteins between species. It seems to me that the genome is vastly more plastic wrt functionality than is usually portrayed.
In that case, you're on closer to equal terms, since he's probably never been in one either. Now ask him about an F-102...
