I don't think you got the point that I was hyperboling. AKA, exaggerating for effect.
There are many human flaws, however I just don't think homosexuality has any sort of benefit to society (or nature). Sure, it makes humanity a little more diverse (and perverse), but seriously. Homosexuality has little reason to exist. It should just be allowed to die peacefully without gaining any more converts (same goes for Scientology).
On a personal/scientific level, I just think that homosexuality is downright a freak of nature. As in, a mutilation or mutation of the mind or hormones. I (as in, ME) would classify it as a mental disorder, because humanity could probably go with a lot less trouble without homosexuality (homosexual people won't get killed, we wouldn't have to waste our miserably short lives debating over it, etc. etc.).
On a personal/ethic level, I think that I would have to agree with a lot of religious (mostly Christian and Catholic in this case) people; God didn't want humans to be like this, therefore created the women and such and such or along the lines of that. I (being as I hate religion) take this as "nature made a mistake doing this." It's like babies being born with disease, missing organs, and the such. An unnatural occurrence due to the fact that nothing is completely certain. Since we think albino's are unnatural because they are rare, then the same goes for homosexuality (only that it's at a mental/sexual state).
On a personal/personal level, I simply hate homosexuality because I think they're a disgrace to the human society and a blasphemy against what nature intended. What sort of species that has two sexes within it would want to perish because of homosexual individuals? Not only that, but homosexuality is (again) a mistake of nature, just as albino's and six-fingered people are. Homosexuality can't really be considered the beginning's of a new race/species, since they can't reproduce with their own kind. Six-fingered humans might become homo sapien sapien hexadactyly, a sub-species/species possibly by continuously mating with other six-fingered humans (this is more support for why scientifically, homosexuality isn't natural).
Rape is something that I find revolting. No noble person would do that, and it's too bad the criminals can't be executed.
People should NOT mindlessly reproduce because if the children were never to be cared for, we would have a race of nothing. We'd be dead, and the children too if we can't educate them to at least a degree of survivability. Anyways, our species is already starting to overpopulate the Earth because we consume too many resources. We can't even process/efficiently use them (this is subject to relativity though).
If we followed what your friend thought what he thought that I thought was limitless sex and reproduction, humanity would lose one of the things that makes human. Civilization wouldn't exist, and we would all reduce ourselves to dirt and soil. We have reasoning and logic, which is why we don't senselessly and idiotically have sex and reproduce all of the time. I doubt that anybody would actually want that, and if they did, they were probably thinking they're last thoughts before jumping over a cliff (as in, suicide).
It's okay that he thought what he thought (what I thought), because if I were a random person looking at that post, I'd be like, "Wow. Idiot." Anyways, I'm modest and very strict on this sort of thing, so I'd say about around 1.5 children per couple on average to sustain the human race (can't remember the exact value), or maybe even 2 because of death through famine, crime, accidents, suicide, disease, etc.
I don't think life is revolved around reproduction. I think it revolves around surviving and existing for as long as possible (not to mention helping your own race to establish higher survivability). This includes proper resource management, since without resources, we'd all die, and everything else that can relate in that sense to survival.
I also don't care if homosexuals love each other. I'm only seeing that other people are making a mountain out of a molehill. If we left homosexuals alone, they'd leave us alone. Then, there'd be the occasional homosexual, but at least we can spare each other of bashing and flaming and killing each other. We're all human, anyways. It's just that the things that make us human sometimes gets in the way of peace.
BTW: Sorry, it's kinda hard to exercise self-control when you expect yourself to be asleep in you bed.
