And there was much neck-breaking.

His name's swami baba, and he's NOT gay?

/confused

Sure. Once you can bend yourself in a way that allows you to suck yourself, you don't need another person - man or woman.

 
scrumpox 2009-07-09 07:26:33 PM  
We can cure that, just bend over.

hell, if someone wants to call alcoholism a disease, why not gayism? Hell,... based on that, even NOT being gay could be considered a disease.

What a queer ruling.

If you can cure it with a herd of swine, I guess you can cure it with some deep cleansing breaths.

These people are total a**holes. A longtime family friend of ours is one and he charges $1000 an hour for his spiritual guidance. He also told me I needed to take part in womanly duties and I told him to go f*ck himself. True story.

CURED by yoga? I thought yoga CAUSED it.

He has a point. I guess if you were good enough at yoga being gay isn't all that necessary.

That shouldn't be any problem for a dude who does yoga.

Yes, it is a disease. No, it can't be cured by Yoga.

Also, Yoga isn't just stretching. It's a religious concept.

A longtime family friend is an asshole? And he charges $1000 per hour for it? Man, I'm in the wrong business.

Done in one.

Also, it's refreshing to see that other parts of the world are just as ridiculous about homosexuality as the good old U.S. of A.

havaniceday 2009-07-09 07:37:41 PM  
How many gays out there are really deep into yoga (not just the excercises, but the whole spiritual concept) and deep meditation and pranayama?

if the answer is none... then he may be onto something.

You'll be needing some yoga to take care of that.

I've considered joining that sect just to get my hands on their mailing lists so I can revitalize my floundering stand-up career.

people of the opinion that homosexuality is a disease really just need to go ahead and farking die already, as they are holding back the progress of the civilized world. they use these antiquated notions of god and religion to foster their hatred, all the while ignoring the mountains and mountains of contradictory evidence no matter how rational and sane the argument may in fact be. the simple fact of the matter is anyone who really, honestly believes this bile about homosexuality being a disease is a detriment to the progress to humanity as a whole and should be ridiculed and shamed into either waking the fark up, or suicide.

I wonder if we'll be hearing Swami Baba's wide stance sometime soon.

Well, their education system is better than ours, and so is their technology and overall grasp of science, and their food is better. But if you're trying to say that they're not yet as promiscuous as we are, I'll have to agree with you.

Ha! That actually made me laugh out loud AND put my hands together... which rarely occurs. Hats off.

But if it's a disease, what's the basis for trying to get it (re)banned?

T.rex: hell, if someone wants to call alcoholism a disease, why not gayism? Hell,... based on that, even NOT being gay could be considered a disease.

dis·ease (d-zz)
n.
1. A pathological condition of a part, organ, or system of an organism resulting from various causes, such as infection, genetic defect, or environmental stress, and characterized by an identifiable group of signs or symptoms.
2. A condition or tendency, as of society, regarded as abnormal and harmful.
3. Obsolete Lack of ease; trouble.

The genetic links for alcoholism are fairly well established, though the exact mechanism is still unknown Link (genetics of alcoholism), and the condition or tendency is regarded as harmful by society almost entirely. Calling alcoholism a disease is usually regarded as a result of Jellenik's disease model, though there is a LOT of conflict among professionals as to whether or not to treat addicts as having a disease. The main thrust of treating alcoholism as a disease is that the progression of alcoholism is invariably destructive to the organism.

The genetic links for homosexuality are in some ways better established, though the research is still in infant stages, see
Link (genetics of sexual identity). However, homosexuality is not invariably destructive, and in accepting societies seems to have no overall impact on group fitness. Thus, not a disease.

Silly boy, gays were put here by God to be ridiculed, discriminated against, and generally abused by those of us She really loves.
