A 'waste' is a derogative, negative term - whether you mean it in a nasty way or not.
It's also arrogant to suggest that being straight is somehow superior - by saying anything else is a 'waste'.
Anyway - we've all made our points, don't think we need to harp on about it
let's get back to the topic of Torchwood (I just noticed your other post lol).

For god's sake, Azz! Now you're saying we're implying that being straight is superior to being gay? NO! Not at all!
Why can't you understand what we're saying? I don't get it.
