I agree that genetics play a big role and that they predispose you to notice things which other people don't and not notice things which other people do.

Please ignore the hot soapy guy idea, because that was probably a bit silly and I'll ignore your Down's syndrome analogy, that's a chromosonal disorder man! Are you saying that you're gay due to a chromosonal disorder?? What are you proposing, they should start up gay school for gay kids to learn about things more suited to the gay learning style??!

For the record, Down's sydrome is caused by having an extra chromosome or part of an extra chromosome. This means that the chromosomes have actually moved around and says nothing about the content of those chromosomes, whereas the genetic factors in the similarities and differences between siblings which you've mentioned would be entirely to do with those chromosomes.

EDIT: I was looking up about Down's sydrome and on the 'list of famous people with downs syndrome the first time I looked I thought it said Chris De Burgh was one.
