You have LGBT "friends". that's funny considering most people keep friends who they truly respect despite their differences. How I would love to have a friend that liked me as far as what I had to offer them, but still wouldn't accept my lifestyle, genetics and lovers.
And I recommend reading some stories about the kids who've killed themselves because sometimes their own parents were the ones trying to "correct" their behavior. Good parenting?

With this boy as an example,
The mother needs to push the child to do more things that are acceptable for his gender and not coddle and encourage his issues, and the father needs to help pull the kid in that direction while not mocking or belittling him.

Oh really, if only it were that simple... Do you have kids?

Most women cannot hold their alcohol and usually make fools of themselves when inebriated, hence your posts.

What was listed in my last post is general descriptions common to the vast majority of the population, and naturally, there are variations thereof (such as women who are excellent at mathematics, and men who are wonderful at child care).
The fact that you write that you are too drunk to answer coherently, and also wrote that if I knew anything about anything, I wouldn't have posted that, is just too funny. Sorry if solid scientific facts based on brain science confuse and annoy you.

I would suggest looking into the field of cognitive neuroscience to see how far psychology has come. This is the empirical science that Wundt tried designing all those years ago. If you're actually interested in the subject I would suggest checking out some books by V.S. Ramachandran or Oliver Sacks. They're both very accessible and entertaining in their writing and they show just what kind of behaviors even a tiny change in the brain can cause.

A crime done against one person by another is a crime, no matter who commits it. Rapists, murderers and pedophiles were not born that way. They choose to hurt others for a variety of reasons, but it is most definitely a choice to do so.
I am really surprised at the lack of clarity on this subject. To compare somebody who is homosexual to murderers and rapists just astounds me.
Let me make this crystal clear for the homophobes out there

"Er some of my best friends are the gays." Too much.
Me not approving of his murdering does not mean that I hate all murderers, same as me not approving of the sexual preferences of my friends does not mean that I hate homosexuals. Again . . . square peg, round hole.
By the moral code of whom, exactly? Either there is a moral absolute, or everyone can make up their own moral code, and anything goes.
