Cognitive dissonance: the state of having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes, especially as relating to behavioral decisions and attitude change. quote:
ORIGINAL: Real0ne Since its been proven gay is not 'genetic' and no gay gene is known to exist, the claim "would never wish to be gay" has to be either a lie or some sort of disorder like cognitive dissonance. Doesn't this statement clearly state that those who believe X suffer from this disorder or are lying? Wouldn't that seem to limit the set of people that could suffer this condition? I contend that cognitive dissonance can affect anyone at anytime...I could be wrong but it is not likely. Consider the number of people on this board who proclaim loudly that the law should be obeyed and infractions must be punished who have no problem with "J walking" or "waterboarding". We, as in you and me, have been taught from infancy that murder is wrong. If one is in the military there is necessarily a conflict within oneself about this dichotomy. What was once totally wrong is now your job. It is explained away quite easily with rhetoric but the objective facts remain. quote:
I never said or implied that I thought cognitive dissonance was uncommon, why have you made that up? Yes you did. Still dismissing the fact that it has been confirmed that genetics is not a consideration as a bonafide reason? Do you not understand that leaves only some sort of psychological issue if not simply a life decision? Do you understand that until proper procedure has been complied with the little boy is not a little girl? Your claim that my belief that: cognitive dissonance was uncommon is called a strawman. In other words unless you can lay out your set of proofs that it in anyway substantially confirms that (which you have not) it leave you with your false presumption. Your military example is killing but not murder, hence killing in self defense is not the same as murder, despite I do recognize the illegitimate use of the construct in todays political wars for power money and greed.
