yes but were you born as the " what you are ", or was your life shaped by events and influences , what \who made you support Villa for example , what made you choose that bit of totty for your Avatar (who is she btw , i feel the need to research her on the web ) what if you were a soldier for 30 years and one day decided you want to be a pacifist and refuse to fight having maybe already killed 30+ men prior to this point ..who are you then ?? were you born a pacifist or born a non pacifist , and how did you change if you are born " what you are " ??
Well, I'm pretty certain I am 'what I am' through me being that way when I was born. Yes, me being a Villa fan, for example, is something that was drilled into me, but to me my sexuality is no different than the colour of my eyes.
Hey, I grew up - and still live - on a council estate, didn't try in school, got drunk for the first time at 10 and took cocaine for the first time at 14. I went to college for about six weeks but left because nearly all my mates were working & could afford to go out up Town & I wanted a piece of that. I now work in a shitty job with crap pay & half the staff above me are idiots. So trust me, I do not pretend to be the smartest bloke on here by any stretch of the imagination.
But this just seems SO simple to me. Some things we choose are based on experience out of life, and some things we are born with. Maybe I am wrong, but I daresay no-one will convince me otherwise.
On a lighter note, the lady in the avatar is Sarah Chalke. She is an American actress, who I discovered through 'Scrubs', which is one of my favourite TV shows - available on E4, Paramount Comedy 1 or abc1. So now go and learn about her :winkold:
