BengalSIS Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 [quote name='steggyD' date='Jun 7 2005, 06:08 PM']Exactly. This is how I was trying to change my initial stance. To quote again, I agree with this Beaker fella twice in one day. [right][post="100476"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right][/quote] I agree with both of you...to a point. BUT, saying that environment shapes your preferences as well as genetics or even more than genetics doesn't mean that the person has any more conscious control over certain preferences. I still can't buy that a person consciously chooses who to be attracted to. It happens to kids at a very young age. I don't think it's something that the person can just say...well, I like guys..I'm a guy...I shouldn't like guys, so, I think I'll just stop getting that hard on looking at guys, but instead make it happen when I look at girls. I still think the "attraction reaction" (so to speak) is very involuntary. Regardless of what "caused" the preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest steggyD Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Sis, we are not saying it is a choice like choosing a meal at a restaurant. We said environmental influences shape a person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
