more evidence homosexuality is not natural or healthyFollow

Ulrike Boehmer of the Boston University School of Public Health and colleagues looked at a 2002 national survey of almost 6000 women, and found that lesbians were 2.69 times more likely to be overweight and 2.47 times more likely to be obese.

“Lesbians have more than twice the odds of (being) overweight,” the authors wrote.

Like I've been saying for how many years? Women, similar to men, who turn to homosexual lifestyles obviously have more health issues than do heterosexuals. For those that don't believe in God I would think that viewing this through a purely scientific lens one can't help but recognize that unnatural acts lead to adverse health conditions.

I suppose that for someone with a cricket's understanding of cause and effect that would make sense.

Linking something to something else does not mean one causes the other, genius.

I was going to make an argument about how obesity was endemic throughout the western world generally, and the US in particular, and how, following varus' reasoning that God must hate westerners and Americans especially, because it has led to a plethora of health issues that others (specially muslims and buddhists and inuits etc) in the world are not subject to in such large numbers.

But then I realised that it would be a really loooong sentence.

So I'll just settle for calling varus a bigoted cnut.

You have stated that you travelled Europe. I was just making the obvious assumption.

"Doesn't exclude a possibility" =/= "Proves"

The burden is on the person claiming there is a causal relation to prove it. And thems the facts.

It also doesn't exclude the possible relationship between the two. Were this an isolated incident I might be inclined to agree with you. As it is aids, other stds, and now obesity have been shown to have a direct affect on those who engage in these acts.


Yet oddly, ignorant assholism still rampant among breeders. Six of one, I guess.

I'd say I know about half a dozen lesbians and only one is "fat".

My research indicates that lesbians are consistently thin. Hooray!

See, I see this study as proving that fat women are more likely to become lesbians.

Legions of "chubby chasers" out there notwithstanding.

Haha, I'm gonna start using that phrase.

My own research about lesbians indicates that they are quite thin, have enormous breasts and have frequent sex with various partners (sometimes at the same time). Not so much information in my research about fat lesbians. I might not be looking at the right DVDs and websites though.

Did you know that a recent study proved a direct link between people who drink water and mortality? It's true! 100% of people who drink water eventually die!

Water kills!

The link does not explain causation. Why are lesbians 2.69 times more likely to be overweight? Is it becasue they suffer more stress from people hating them all the time that they overeat to compensate? I have no idea and neither do the authors.

Also, how signifigant is that 2.69% compared to other groups? Are Latinos, to pick a group at random, also more likely to be overweight? How about computer programers? Or even christians? Just because the study was never done, does not mean the corelation is not there.

And also, how overweight do you need to be before they concidered you overweight? 1%? 5%? 20%?

I would also like to point out that that article suggests, if anything it is unhealthy, saying nothing about being unnatural.

And lastly, speaking as a godless sodomite of course, I always enjoy someone telling me how immoral and goddless I am, despite the fact that I very much DO beleive in god. I simply don't beleive in the guy who put an apple tree in a garden and said you can have anything, just not the apples and then jumpes out of a bush saying gotcha when, lo and behold, they break the rules just like he knew they would.

Thank god. For a second there I thought they surveyed 6K of Boston's lesbians and found them to be fatties.

For I've got a batchelor party to plan and it'll make it a whole lot easier to find hot lesbians if they're already here in the City.

Maybe I'll put up some fliers around BU...

Actually Achuleez it is the obesity that causes homosexuality, not the other way around.

1. Get fat.
2. Feel insecure.
3. Formulate resolve to get physically fit.
4. Attend all male/all female gym to avoid the scrutiny of the opposite sex.
5. Get ripped, and notice all the ripped bodies around you.
6. Stick it in his pooper.

Sales of hot chocolate go up when it snows therefore the drinking of hot chocolate causes it to snow!

You'd think someone who insults the intelligence of others so often would know correlation doesn't imply causation.

The article also says that lesbians tend to have a better self image.

Women are less shallow than men, and therefore lezzers have less need to conform to the male ideal figure to attract a mate. There's your causation.
#24 May 01 2007 at 2:15 AM Rating: Decent
Causation =/= Correlation.

Also, there are many reports that some penguins are homosexuals, as well as some monkeys. If animals are not natural...

And from a global warming point of view, homosexuality is extremely healthy, and is in fact a much bettr wy of protecting the specie than heterosexuality, which will lead to overpopulation adn tehrefore increase the already existing burden on this poor planet.

So, Varrus, care to do a good cause and join the legion of pillow-biters?

Such lack of admission that the study doesn't show casuality from such a dink. I'm... well, not shocked.
