>My is web site on how we can win the war on drugs and alcohol by teaching people how to self administered electric "shocks" as a negative reinforcer.

See now here I think you really mean a punisher and not a 'negative reinforcer'. See a negative reinforcer is the taking away of a NEGATIVE stimuli in order to REINFORCE (increase the frequency) of a certain response. A punisher, on the other hand is the administering of a negative stimuli (such as an electric shock) to decrease the frequency of a response, such as drug and alchohol use.

By the way, I do not like your implication that homosexuality is an undesirable behaviour.
