I am going to say there is something deeply wrong with that whole situation. Not with the homosexuality, but by 15 year olds watching pornography.
Really? As far as I'm aware, I'd guess that at least 70% of 15 year old individuals in Western countries watch porn on a regular basis.
However I will also say that if not addressed, it can become, in some cases, the grounds for a pathological addiction.
And I still cant believe this is still going on. I thought I made things clear? I guess not.
Yeah, I guess not too. I have no idea what you're talking about.
Where no offense is intended, none should be taken.
How do we tell offense is intended unless we ask? There's one caveat: when people say "no offense" as a license to say inflammatory stuff e.g. "no offense, but gays are stupid".
@CaHuTaP: You can say that to most topics in both the World Events, Politics, Religion, Popular media and Art, Music and Writing forums... It's not about games. It's about the world outside them. In the big picture, it's all connected anyway.
@Strop:

Seriously? Wow. Of course it's just your guess, but still...
And I agree on that 'no offense' thing... If you say it, you're too aware of the fact that it could be offensive, and you should think of another way of expressing yourself...
craker, I seriously doubt you need to emphasize that you aren't gay that strongly... But glad you support them. Hopefully more will in the future. Hate is bad.

I hope that guess is inaccurate.
As for the "no offense" thing, I think it is obvious when offense is intended.
"no offense, but gays are stupid".
Is offensive. "No offense, but you reek" is quite likely to be a comment of genuine concern. (Depending on who said it, of course.) If you cannot tell if it is offensive, don't worry about it. "Akkuna-Matata" (It means no worries, for those who haven't seen The Lion King in the past 6 months.
I am bisexual and I hate that when I tell a girl that I am she calls me her gay best friend. I am not gay I have felling for both boys and girls. For all of you who say that most of the western states watch porn a lot you are wrong I live in the west and my school barely looks at porn. I like how most of you guys are not homophobic. some people think that since I'm bi I like everyone but to be honest I am very picky on who I go out with. I was with my friend at the park and out of the no where he said why are you Bi? I don't now I said it is just how I feel and now he always says dont make out with me and stuff like that and that is very weird or me.
Seriously? Wow. Of course it's just your guess, but still...
I'm basing my guess of the Australian Bureau of Statistics. And by "regular basis" I loosely mean somewhere around a weekly basis.
A more telling statistic would be the proportion of internet bandwidth usage that concerns pornography, which would be the vast majority (percentage estimates as high as the high nineties).
However it should be noted that these things do need some kind of caveat, since there is reporting bias. On the other hand, it is precisely this reporting bias that has you people surprised: sex (and pornography) is still not something that we are particularly keen to talk about in most public circles.
Anyway, that's slightly off-topic. More to the point, we've discussed bisexuality at some point previously, and this is quite a curious thing...unfortunately I can't remember what page it was on and I'm probably the only one here who is likely to remember the conversation.
well, I think it's slightly inaccurate. I do however think that that percentage of western kids (and japanese [no offense]) masturbate/watch porn at the puberty point.
