    There's a big gap between not liking people because of their race and throwing bricks at them.
    The first is understandable, if not excuseable, based on upbringing; the latter is criminal.

    You can probably claim she was Danish. Most people would never realize the truth.

    While I agree that they are consenting adults it is just a matter of different strokes for different folks (and I would never do it), I don't think you guys are being fair. If one of my sisters were doing this and I found out it certainly would make me squeamish and have me wondering if I would want them to be godmother to my child. I trust both my sisters and this wouldn"t change that, more than likely, but it would make me stop and think.

    I see swingers in the same vein as any one else making a choice in who they have sex with...it's a choice in sexual preference (gay, straight, bi, etc.).
    Would you "stop and think" if you sister was gay or bi? I just don't see the difference.

    Don't see it the same way. I don't see homosexuality as a choice.
     
  9. Wait ... what?
    You think homosexuality is a choice?

    Yes, it is a choice. Name another species that is attracted to the same sex. Go ahead, I'll wait.

    For starters, these 216 species of mammals, from African buffalo to the yellow-toothed cavy.

    There are similar links for birds and reptiles (there are no male whiptail lizards).

    Hat-tip to my daughter, the budding zoologist, who recommended the Wiki link since it sources all the citations.
