I appreciate the request for pics. Panama is a photographers paradise, wonderful subjects everywhere. Unfortunately I have tried posting pics here in
the past without success. Sorry about that.
I did indeed fish this time, I used my 9' 4wt Sage to land Peac-ck Bass on poppers, a blast! They were not of an significant size but I landed around
30-40 each time out.
I fished Lake Gatun which is the man made lake that is the fresh water source of the locks of the Panama Canal.
This trip was primarily Urban, Panama City, with forays out to the mountains for gold panning, to the interior for fishing and to the Atlantic Coast
for some Afro/Caribbean culture and beach time.

One of the best eating fish I have ever had. Very light, white flesh, a hint of nut in the finish. Not as firm as Largemouth or Smallmouth Bass, a bit
more like flounder or Baja halibut.
I will return.

Just as we have compassion for the other sexual preferences such as LGBT, we also must remember that Dennis has his own demons to deal with and has
been diagnosed with Bipolar disorder that he has freely admitted here on this board. Since I have seen him be supportive of gays, one can speculate
that because of the holidays, Dennis is going through something we can only read about in textbooks. Just as he can be up and positive, funny and
witty, he has his dark days and it may come across as mean and spiteful but it can be depression and darkness. We all have up and down days but a
person with bipolar disorder has extreme lows and extreme highs. And so, as we support Dennis here and enjoy his entertainment on his "good" days, we
need to understand that he has very "bad" days as well. | Quote: | Originally posted by motoged
Dennis,
You have not been convicted by anyone but yourself. Your opinions expressed are your :"convictions" that you proudly stand behind/in front of. It is
not a legal issue but, rather, is one of beliefs:
conviction
kənˈvɪkʃ(ə n/
noun: conviction; plural noun: convictions
1. a formal declaration by the verdict of a jury or the decision of a judge in a court of law that someone is guilty of a criminal offence.
"she had a previous conviction for a similar offence"
synonyms: declaration/pronouncement of guilt, sentence, judgement More
"she will appeal against her conviction"
antonyms: acquittal
2. a firmly held belief or opinion.
"she takes pride in stating her political convictions"
synonyms: belief, opinion, view, thought, persuasion, idea, position, stance;
(article of) faith, credo, creed, tenet, dogma
"his deeply held political and religious convictions"
the quality of showing that one is firmly convinced of what one believes or says.
"she had been speaking for some five minutes with force and conviction"
synonyms: certainty, certitude, assurance, confidence, sureness, positiveness; More
no shadow of a doubt
"she spoke with conviction"
antonyms: uncertainty, doubt
You assert your entitlement to voice your opinions and have clearly presented them as hateful judgements against others. You have ridiculed, insulted,
and proudly attacked those of a different "persuasion" than folks of your ilk. The proof you seek is in your posts....just read them.

Good Doctor,
I appreciate your sharing with us your knowledge about how mood can affect our experience of the world and our communication with others.
You wrote "Just as we have compassion for the other sexual preferences such as LGBT".
Your comment expresses the very reason why I am engaged in public education about the Complexity of Gender. I appreciate your compassion and believe
that we all should have more of that!
You state that LGBT is a "preference". In doing so you demonstrate a lack of perspective that is endemic in the Health, Mental Health and General
Public as to the etiology of Gender. In my Professional education and training no one put this together for me either. You are not alone. I am not
critical of you, it is just clear to me that, like most of us in the helping professions, we have not been exposed to an integration in our
understanding of the biological underpinnings of gender.
The classic Nature/Nurture debate has three basic branches; Cultural/Religious, Psychological and Biological.
Cultural/Religious and Psychological perspectives have had the main stage through out history.
From your medical experience I think that you would agree that human beings are not homogenous. There is tremendous diversity built into our biology.
Our skin colors are not the same, we have different pigmentation. Our hormones are not the same, you test for them in certain cases. Our genitals are
not all the same, you have seen this with your own eyes. Our internal organs are not all the same, you have also seen this with your own eyes. Our
genotypic composition is not the same. We know that there are "male" and "female" brains. We also know that there are large variations in the various
structures that make up "male" and "female" brains.
From a Biological perspective the first month of our gestation we are all female. It is only after androgenization by testosterone, the precursors of
which are found in the Y chromosome, that our external and internal sex organs and brains differentiate, out of the same tissues, into a spectrum of
male/female brains, external and internal sex organs.
I think that the implications of this are significant when discussing Gender. Again I am happy to present in depth on this topic to any group that may
have interest in learning more about this fascinating subject.

Fly Fish, my father was a very macho New Yorker. Yet, working in the restaurant field, he met many gay waiters. And he told me that he felt that
being gay was not a choice, it was a biological assignment. I agree with that, if you have read my previous comments, that many factors make the
determination of male or female, or a little of both. Everyone also has a sexual "preference", would you agree? I am talking about their
psychological sexual desire, when I state preference. I am not saying they can make themselves decide what they want, or "prefer" their sexuality. I
agree that many factors make up a person's sexuality. Of course, there probably are cases of abused men and women by the opposite sex that may make
them hate anyone of that sex and cause them to be homosexual. But I don't agree with that being the norm. In fact, many gays agonize over coming out
of the closet, but cannot bring themselves to change their sexuality to adhere to the "norm" or "heterosexual" lifestyle, nor should they have to.
Simply because they are not heterosexual.
Let's all be understanding and have compassion for others that do not follow the "norm", whether it be sexually, mentally or physically. We all have
that frightened child inside of us no matter how old we are, and because we are adults we sometimes try to hide it, and in doing so, we come off cruel
and hurtful.

I appreciate your clarification.
"Everyone also has a sexual "preference", would you agree?"
We may choose the "object of our desire" which one can call preference if this is what you are talking about. I do believe, as I gather that you do
too, that LBGTQ gender attributes, or self identification are highly influenced by biology and not "choice" as proposed by many Religions and
historically by Psychology. This is where the terms preference and choice can confuse and compound the issue. Sex and Gender are in my view highly
influenced if not determined by biology.
I appreciate this dialogue, one that needs to happen more in the fields of Health, Mental Health and Education.

What were they waiting for? Alimony? 
Ohhh well...eventually, I suppose. That's a good thing.
But, it occurs to me here that the gay faction lobbyists don't have to circle their wagons for the ensuing fight for fiscal rights. They have the
straight community to fight for them...kinda like the "Gay Foreign Legion."
It's all good. I never said it wasn't.
I'm still waiting for Pierre and Gaston to point out my comments of generalized gay hatred which proves, or even indicates I'm a gay hater. They
seem to have trouble finding those.
Keep looking, militaires.

OK...Gooody...show all of us when and where I was homophobic?
Was it when I said I repel from homo activity in public [ I did include all inappropriate activity by all people by the way] in front of families at a
pride parade...or was it when I said the freak show RuPaul production made me want to throw up in my lap?
You, mr. tolerant, are a fraud. A NIMBY fraud.
Don't ever preach morality to me. You aren't qualified, in spite of how many cross-dressers or transgenders you know from a loooong distance.
I don't hate anybody for anything [ well...maybe some liberals] and I sure as *** don't hate gays. Why would I?
What I repel from is the gays who feel they have to assert themselves publically in order to validate themselves only because they're gay.
I don't need to know...and more importantly, I don't need to care, especialley if I'm being told I have to.
Sooo, Perry....you do, think and feel what the *** you want to do, but please....please don't tell me...ever...what I should think and feel.
My thoughts throughout this thread have, in my opinion, been reasonable to an open mind, unlike yours and your p-nut gallery, ateo.
This is Rick's thread, and for that I apologize to him....but not to you. Go *** yourself for your heavy-handed rendition of free speech.
I reiterate this request:
"OK...Gooody...show all of us when and where I was homophobic?"

Homophobia encompasses a range of negative attitudes and feelings toward homosexuality or people who are identified or perceived as being lesbian,
gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT). It can be expressed as antipathy, contempt, prejudice, aversion, or hatred, may be based on irrational fear, and
is sometimes related to religious beliefs.
- Internet
Dennis,
I think your posts would qualify as having negative attitudes and feelings towards gays.
This is getting boring. I hope we can move on to more important things like what tire is best for Baja, what time does the tourist card office open
at the border, and which Baja gas station rips you off the least.
Sorry Iflyfish for contaminating your thread. I'm done.

You're kidding, right?????? So, not liking people fragrantly exposing themselves in public for some apparent imagined effect is "homophobic"???

My Conclusions: We are ALL "homophobic"!!!!! in one way or another.
