    Perhaps he meant Homosexuality is the 'gnomes'?

    It would explain why those little buggers are always sitting down...

    Well then I do apologise, m'dear.

    Indeed they don't. And a well known precedent of the homosexual is absoloute stillness. They aren't known to dance around willy-nilly for trivial reasons.

    I think we're onto something.......what about the smurfs? Those little blue b******s must be buggering the days away surely....I mean, there's only one smurfette, what's a fella to do if the blonde bombshell doesn't take a liking to ya?

    All smurfs have needs.

    Apology accepted. Sport should be between consenting adults only. Just watch your mouth in future.

    Duly noted.

    Second source of attack: A tortoise playing a ukelele makes me sick. THEY should be the ones hunted in horror films. Are we agreed? Yes? Good.

    Just imagine the chase scene........glorious.

    Foiled! By my own lack of musical instrument knowledge.

    Ah well, the loss of an animal smarter than me can only preserve my position on the food chain, which is weak at best.

    That is not what I am saying.
    Dwarvism is a condition in the sense that it is not what humans are meant to look like.
    In the same way that some children who do not grow up/I have seen a programm about it.
    It is tragic and it is a condition.
    Humans are to grow a certain height that is the norm.
    Dwarvism occurs because of a genetic error/mistake where growth is affected that is what I call dwarvism.

    Who are you to say what humans are supposed to look like? Inany case, it has been proposed ( but far from proven) that homosexuality is the result of a genetic misplacement, so you are saying that they are also genetically deformed?
    In any case, if there is a gentic predispostion towards homosexuality, then they are even less likely to "be here"

    I never for a minute said nor even crossed my mind.
    Unless there is a visible palpable proof that it is then I am going to carry on believing it is normal.
    I cannot for certain be sure because yes there is always that element of doubts, butin terms of what humans should look like I am pretty sure they are to grow a certain height because of the environment they are exposed to.
    It cannot be otherwise.

    Off topic for the OP.

    We do. And when its a strong story, it can work very successfully.

    I read some of the posts, many are questioning marketing, audience, age groups, sex of the characters, etc. I don't think any of that matters when you have a great story, with well developed characters. Here are some examples of female villains, some with male victims, some with female victims, some with both.

    Annie Wilkes
    Joan Crawford
    Carrie White

    Other Thrillers...
    Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction
    Demi Moore in Disclosure
    Wicked Witch in The Wizard of Oz
    Ursula in Disney's The Little Mermaid
    Wicked Stepmother in Cinderella
    Peyton (Rebecca DeMornay) in the Hand that Rocks the Cradle
    Corinne and Corinne's mother from Flowers in the Attic

    i gave you a couple of examples back on page 3:

    fyi, those were blockbuster boxoffice hits...

    ...in 'brokeback mountain' two cowboys fall in love... but even in the movies, as in real life, love stories don't always have happily ever after endings...

    ...if by 'geared to' you mean leaning more in that direction as far as the majority of tv shows and reporting, then of course they are, but that's because heterosexual relationships/unions ARE 'the norm' worldwide... whether you wish they weren't, or not...

    ...not on planet earth!... what planet do you come from? ;-)

    ...were you born a female? [don't have to answer if it would be embarrassing]

    ...actually, it is otherwise... human height is determined first by the parents' genetic contributions and then by nutrition and only slightly [if at all] by environment...

    ...now, let's do our best to stay on topic, ok?
