Lol. I answer a question you raised about a gay gene and you start ranting on about the left, American Nazis, Bolsheviks and scatology, none of which is relevant. It's hard to take you as a serious commentator when you do that but I'll try to address your further concerns. "They" are obviously the people who conducted the studies. I would have thought that was obvious. Is it irrational to be disgusted by the behavior of homosexuality? Well it depends what they're doing I guess. 😉 Same as heterosexuals. But you being disgusted (like being offended) is your problem, not anyone else's. How does rational disgust over unnatural things equate to hate? If you're trying to say that homosexuality is unnatural then we part company in our views. In any case nobody cares what you are disgusted by as I've said. However if that disgust and hate turn to prejudice and discrimination we do have a problem. That's the problem we sometimes see here. Your last paragraph has no real relevance to the discussion. Nice to talk with you.

There is no evidence of a gay gene. This was linked to a 1993 study which posited that a certain gene was linked to homosexuality but no other study was able to replicate it so it was debunked. What is interesting though is they know that a higher proportion of second children tend to be gay. This may be that if a mother has a boy the body produces an enhanced y chromosome to balance birth equality of the sexes to aid population growth. If this is the case then homosexuality is a perfectly natural condition of nature. Studies continue in this area. They have attempted to prove a homophobia gene, but as yet there is no proof because the tiny brains of these people make study difficult. 😀

How old are you? 4? I thought this sort of thing was against forum rules. Plenty of pathetic and ignorant comments on this thread.

He is. And so are you.

If you rely solely on State Pension then obviously the money is crucial. However some people have private pensions and investments that cover the cost of living, so the State Pension is a supplement.

Women need safe spaces where they can drunkenly twirl toilet seats around their heads. 🙂

Well, that's how I read it on the Gov. website. How they achieve this I don't know. "If you’ve committed or attempted fraud, one or more of the following may also happen: you’ll be told to pay back the overpaid money you may be taken to court or asked to pay a penalty (between £350 and £5,000) your benefits may be reduced or stopped Your benefits can be reduced or stopped for up to 3 years if you’re convicted of benefit fraud. The amount of time they’re stopped for depends on how many times you’ve committed fraud. Only certain benefits can be reduced or stopped. These are called ‘sanctionable benefits’. But if you commit fraud on a benefit that cannot be reduced or stopped, your other benefits can be reduced instead." Seems clear. If the fraud is obvious they will take action, but they can't take the money you may need to live on.

That is true. But it also should be noted that they can reduce or stop other benefits that are sanctionable to recover monies lost through State Pension fraud, although this is obviously less relevant for non-residents. They also have the option to recover money via the courts or by penalty. Again this is less likely because the maximum penalty is GBP 5,000 and there would be substantial costs going through the courts.

No cow ever went Moo. It's a sort of mmmmmmmm. Moo is the word made up by humans. Horses don't go around going Winney Winney! Lol. And owls don't go hoot hoot. It's a sort of hoo hoo. As you know.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

No. We need to show that we're entitled to a British State Pension by dint of our maximum contributions, plus increases. It would be a pretty penny.

It always amuses me how the bigots think that gay men are after them. It's always the ones with bargepole marks. Lol

Funny you should mention Orwell. He wrote a book called Animal Farm where the ruling class thought themselves more equal than the rest. That's the difference with civil marriages and traditional marriage. It's a question of equality. That's what it's always about. Not settling for being a second class citizen

Bingo! That's the basis of The Theory of Evolution. Darwin noticed that there were similarities between different species and over time formulated the hypothesis that there was a common ancestor.

Once again, humans aren't direct descendants of apes. I only identify as a Farang-Utan.
