My comment: Science, including the science of the human brain, is still learning. For you to continually post that the brain is fixed in granite, instead of plastic and malleable at all phases of life is ridiculous on the face of it. Humans are omnisexual. A multitude of stimulants can excite sexual desire in homosexual or heterosexual people. Choices, habits, interests, social and legal boundaries all affect people.

Your Comment: Sounds like pseudescience to me. I don't know about women, but no amount of choices, habits, intersets, societal and legal boundaries could make men attracted to other men.

My response: Just to let you know, I am a retired nurse. I don't know a whole lot about the human brain, but I do know some, and what I posted is not pseudoscience. As your arguments show, you are uneducated about the anatomy, physiology, functions, adaptation, chemistry, and physics of the human brain. Your ignorance causes you to ignore anything you know nothing about--to you, it doesn't exist.

Maybe after you have some real education, you can then talk about personality theory, sexual maturation, the effects of socialization on sexual expression, habit training, etc.

When you do have some genuine education, then perhaps you won't be so OBVIOUSLY agenda driven.

Thank you for your service. Please cite the appropriate references that prove what you have stated, so that I will be able to verify your assertions.

As Skinner said, it doesn't matter whether the brain actually does something, or that it is a black box. We can just assume that it's a black box. The question at hand is how the brain, what triggers a response by the brain.

Maybe after you have some real education, you can then talk about personality theory, sexual maturation, the effects of socialization on sexual expression, habit training, etc.

Try me.

A question. Obviously, you have uncovered my secret conspiracy to do harm to you. But let's disregard this, and imagine another case. Imagine that person A sees 'obvious agendas' where there are none. What would that make person A?
