Termyn8or -> RE: Homosexuality As Population Control? (11/24/2010 10:57:31 AM)

FR, sans full article
If as a whole the rate of homosexuality has stayed the same, the same critique should be applied as to all statistics. The foremost question is whether it is more prevalent in more densely populated areas. While I have no diety, I do not dismiss the possibility of forces in the universe which we do not yet understand. It could be that in certain rudimentarly ways that the human species acts as a unit, or possibly all life on this planet or even the universe.
If that is so, homosexuality is a natural response. Taking these statistics in hand, how were they derived ? A mountain Man does not participate in many polls or studies. I believe that all statistical results are weighted in favor of city dwellers, or at least those in more denseley populated areas. If my supposition is true, it throws all the numbers off quite a bit.
Decades ago I read a book in which the author divided the "elements" of human psychology into three parts, but unlike Frued, they were the concious, the subconcious and the superconcious. The concept of the superconcious brought many things to light, and out of the realm of the supernatural. In this sense, even those unprovable things that go around, like telekinesis or telepathy are simply parts of nature which we do not yet understand.
While I refuse to be captured by religion, the old ones who wrote the "books" were not stupid, in fact I believe many of them to be intellectually superior to the Man of today. However that does not mean they were always right. They wrote Man shall not lay with Man. In the sense that this behavior was not procreational in nature, why then did they not assert that Woman shall not lay with Woman ? I have nulled the whole idea as a tenet or anything of the sort, but explore the reason behind it.
When there were few people, of course it was time to be fruitful and multiply. Things have changed a bit. Hunky, if your real email is still good I can send you this one article written decades ago about deer on a desert island. An actual experiment about overpopulation. They induced the overpopulation and went back from time to time to study the animals. They found actual changes in physiology. This was my focus, rather than the commentary which was dismissed on another forum for being - something. But the physiological changes remain. What caused them ?
I think this is something more than the tingle in the gonads induced by lust. It may be related actually, but is quite different than most thoughts expressed on the matter.
More later.
