Republican lawmaker: There’s a ‘distinction’ between gays and human beings

[Enthusiastic Steward]

I'd rather think for myself than have a book tell me what to think, thanks.

Well now let's slow down a minute here. Exactly what book are we talking about? Because that might impact my answer.

What ive learned on this forum is republicans hates gays and democrats hates white males

Are white male gays hated by everyone?

Chimps have 48 chromosomes.

That is true - however that doesn't destroy the original statement.

However - you have to check that the proportion of genes the X and Y chromosomes occupy to completely verify the original statement.

- - - Updated - - -

Your understanding of X and Y chromosomes.

Why my understanding? Once you take into account the sizes of the two chromosomes, the original statement still holds.

[Twix]

Here is the 'argument' :

You can source that chimps/humans share 98-99% of DNA in common - from anywhere you want, google will give you a zillion sources.

Then add the fact that human males and females have an entire chromosome difference, that's 1 in 46, or around 2.2%


Hope you can spot the flaw

Humans don't share 98-99% of chimps DNA...

[Dougie Cooper]

He isn't wrong.

I'm at least 100% sure that he is indeed wrong.

[schwarzkopf]

Humans don't share 98-99% of chimps DNA...

Of the total DNA - yes.
Of the 'active' producing DNA - no.

A Republican from Missouri is homophobic? Now I've seen everything!

[Dextroden]

It's like if he thought mentioning the Qur'an would make him not look like a bigot.

I think this was a long swing to try and get fundamentalists muslims. Might as well hope the people coming from places where homosexuality can be punished with imprisonment or death can be coerced.

Two negatives is a positive!

We're too precious.

[prwraith]

And people vote for republicans. It's amazing.

Honestly...I can't.

[wheresmywoft]

And how's that exactly?

Don't fall for the bait. Just kids trolling.

I think your logic is flawed. Still no proof on what you said.

The Republican Law maker in this case is full of shit. Humans are humans. Period. No matter how they think, behave or believe. To suggest otherwise is barbaric. The Gov. should veto the bill.

[Snuke]

Someone tell this moron there's also a distinction between Church and State in the US.

[CostinR]

Ah the good ol' Republicans from the Deep Red states being the same as they've always been.

[Dextroden]

And people vote for republicans. It's amazing.

Honestly...I can't.

Now, to be fair. This could go the way of "women can shut down a legitimate rape" and the party will turn on him.

Or nothing will happen because it's Missouri. One of the two.

[schwarzkopf]

they are different sizes and contain varying numbers of genes and base pairs

Indeed, which is exactly why I said that.... more than once.
In addition - I didn't say they had a closer genetic similarity, merely that they shared more DNA.

If you spent less time making stuff up to attack, then you'd probably be happier.

It's certainly possible, but I don't think Missouri has the muslim population to really make a difference.

I suppose it's the same distinction between Christianity and just being a human being.
/smh

Its maths... that's all. Also - the original comment was meant to be having a go at the idiotic GoP dude, not a full scientific thesis.
