I am twisting nothing.
I am responding to the statements of OTHER POSTERS and what they have claimed.

You are obviously free to make your own assessment, but don't accuse me of "twisting" anything just cause you want to change the subject...

That is not the sole reason, and that is part of the point of all this.

Do you fail to see that is part of my point?

Skinniness is also seen as "sexy" by some, yet it can be counter-productive in helping to establish a more optimal mate choosing for the purposes of procreation.

Furthermore, a 30-year old is also viable for procreation.
So is it intelligent to disregard a 30-year old woman for a 20-year old woman, for the purposes of procreation?
A man in his younger, "sexier" years is typically of only moderate means to supply for a procreate family.
So doesn't it make more sense to find a more mature man as "sexy", for the capability to provide?

You take one aspect of this shallow thing we call "beauty" and try to pretend that it somehow is about procreation.
It isn't.
Tell the average person that the woman he is lusting after can not have kids and find how the lust doesn't even change...

I never said the law must treat all behaviors equally.
However, the legal precedent establishing homosexuality as something that should be treated equally is irrefutable.

Your comment was extreme to the point that it should never have been made.
If I said "Poster_X is trying to revive Hitler's death camps", and then turned around and pointed out my comment was extreme, that does nothing to excuse how ridiculously and pointlessly extreme the comment was.
Saying "That was extreme" does not help to validate the original claim when it is so ridiculously out there that it says more about the speaker than the status quo.
