The only reason I tied to the 2 together, is because if you've read root's other posts, he seems to be quite fanatic almost flagellant in his beliefs. That was my opinion, nothing more.

I just want to point out the fact that someone wasn't "born" a certain way, really has nothing to do with whether there is a choice involved with their behavior at a later date. The role of genetics in human behavior is just a small part of a much bigger issue about Free Will.
Considering modern neuroscience has shown that we make decisions before we even think about them; it seems completely unjustified to get behind this magical free will concept where everyone has complete control over all (most, or even any) of the choices they make in life.
