My thoughts are like waffles - the first few don't look so good.

Yes. The original argument is defective. Substitute the word 'male' for 'gay,' and you'll see the flaw: 'Male people cannot be normal. If everyone were male starting tomorrow, the human race would die out, so being male cannot be nature's intended way.' Or you could substitute the word 'female.' In either case, the argument makes no sense: Being male or female is perfectly normal.

Be able to go shopping for a bathing suit and not become depressed afterward.

Society needs people who can manage projects in addition to handling individual tasks.

Be able to recognize when you're reading or hearing material biased to your own side.

Almost all of the finer things in life are free or nearly free. You don't have to pay for the sky at night or snow in the morning or a kiss on the nose when you're sick. Forgetting that may put you at the mercy of those who seek to profit by convincing you to want whatever it is they have to sell.

Be able to keep a secret or promise when you know in your heart that it is the right thing to do.
