- First of all, we'll ignore these (your own) words about your
- "orientation":

- As for your question about self-discipline:
-
- Sir, thank you for quoting my original thread about self-discipline.
- Look closely and you'll see that my orignal reference to self-discipline
- was with regard to SOCIETY (not YOU):

-
- Then Sir, please note that your reply used the self-discipline theme to
- infer some kind of homosexual slur in my direction. (I chose to ignore
- your implication in the interest of spirited debate.):
-
- Jim said:
- >> Are you saying that it took a lot of self-discipline on
- >> your part to be a heterosexual, while I wasn't disciplined enough and
- >> gave into impulses to be gay? And here I thought your heterosexuality
- >> was natural and innate.....
-
- Now Jim, if you're twisting this little debate into a personal issue simply
- because I disagree with your opinion, you may carry on further
- conversation by yourself. But if you really want to discuss the general
- issue about the right or wrongs of homosexuality (which is after all the
- origin of this discussion), let's move on.
