    It ought to be easy enough to test if there's actually a 'gay gene', just wait a few generations to see if homosexuality goes extinct in tolerant first-world countries while remaining in countries that oppress it.

    Of course not! Nothing about the whole 'enormous rodent' thing, she's a married women. The problem with Istvan's argument for people having the ultimate individual freedom to reshape their biology is the same as any other hyperlibertarian argument, that he doesn't take zero-sum competition...

    It doesn't work. It never works. Now the Cultural Revolutionaries are pissed about orientalism. First off, Dream isn't white per say, that's canonical, he appears akin to the viewer. Nada perceived him as black because she was, the Siamese Cat saw him as another cat and in overture he's seen as...
