You're going to have to explain exactly why it's wrong, especially in the context of a married couple.

What does being married have to do with it? S&M is sexually deviant behavior, period. Sexually deviant behavior is just a polite label for abnormal.


Free diving is seeing how far you can go down on a single breath. Firewalking is self-explanatory.

I don't see where or why you would consider free diving abnormal. Even if you do, again, that is opinion, not fact-based.

I don't see a point to firewalking, and hardly everybody does it, and yes I would consider that too abnormal behavior simply because it's just dumb.

And you aren't making your point, IMO.

Your first example seems to rely heavily on the fact the couple are married; which, is irrelevant to the behavior itself. Marriage does not justify sexual deviance.

I'd hardly call getting your kicks inflicting or receiving pain normal behavior.

Your second isn't evne a question mark to me. Anyone who swims a on a regular or daily basis tests how far they can go under water.

Your last is a carnival act.

You tell me what's wrong with a married couple enjoying each other sexually if it's so obvious. That you don't find it appealing is hardly proof or for that matter even an argument that it's wrong.

What's wrong with people who enjoy inflicting pain, or having it inflicted on them? You can't justify THAT in any way as "normal" behavior. And again, marriage is irrelevant to the act and does not justify it.

I already agreed that it was abnormal behavior, it's why I listed it as an example of such. What you have yet to do is show that a married couple, engaging in the voluntary abnormal behavior of dabbling in S&M is doing something WRONG and therefore exercising BAD judgement. Is S&M illegal? Is it condemned as an abomination in the Bible? If you are going to assert it's wrong, you need to provide something other than your OPINION.

Free diving isn't swimming, it's holding onto a weight and letting it drag you hundreds of feet below the surface without benefit of a breathing device. I would most definitely call this abnormal behavior.

Firewalking, going into a self-induced trance and walking across hot coals to demonstrate mind over matter is also something I'd consider abnormal.

Actually, no, I really don't. I have ALREADY pointed out that "abnormal behavior" can be defined as fact, by law, or as societal/personal opinion.

If you do not consider it a fact, nor bad judgement, nor wrong for two people to engage in inflicting/receiving pain on one another, I'm not sure what I can tell you.

Why you keep interjecting "married" into the fray when it's irrelevant to the act beats me. I can only assume you believe it somehow justifies the act.

And all three would be considered abnormal behavior by societal/personal opinion, not scientific fact and/or the law. And all require bad judgement to engage in.

You cannot tell me that you honestly believe out of your three examples, that you consider engaging in any one of them good judgement.

By your own definition, bad judgement is doing something WRONG. It hasn't got a damn thing to do with abnormal, because abnormal doesn't equal WRONG. By your own standard, if it isn't WRONG, then there's no BAD judgement involved which only leaves TWO possibilities...GOOD judgement or NO judgement at all.

Again, post valid moral codes being violated by any of the three or admit that it's YOUR OPINION that there's bad judgement involved.

Now you can see why I was such a stickler about defining the terms being used. If I'm having this much trouble getting you to stay within the bounds of your own definitions, it would be impossible to get you to stay within the bounds of mine.

I've been waiting for the admission of intellectual dishonesty. Again, and as stated in the very post you replied to, abnormal is defined by fact, the law or society. The latter two would be based on opinion, as previously stated ... more than once.

Our discussion went rapidly from homosexuality, which is a factual abnormality, to you using societal abnomalities which, again, as previosly stated, ARE matters of opinion. Which has nothing to do with a factual abnormality.

You can try your relativist argument all you want, but as I stated, to engage in any of the three is abnormal behavior as defined by society, and require bad judgement to engage in since all have possible negative consequences; whether or not YOU think they are wrong; which, is merely YOUR opinion.

Within the context of bad judgement being required to voluntarily engage in factual, abnormal behavior it is intentionally doing what is known to be wrong..

Now, because your definition doesn't really work, you want to change it up.

Using YOUR definition, let's hear how the three examples are people doing what they know is wrong. The first step is to provide legal, moral, or cultural grounds that shows each activity is immoral. And no need to repeat yourself again that these activities are abnormal...we both agree on that point.

I'm not changing it up. I've kept to the same definition. It appears you overlooked a key, defining word.:poke:

As usual, you have nothing but intellectual dishonesty to respond with. OBVIOUSLY, to anyone that isn't YOU, I am not the judge of anything. Science and society are.


I am not wrong on the issue of homosexuality being "abnormal", any more so than other forms of sexual expression.

How does science prove that two adults engaging in S&M activites involving a foot fetish, for instance, is "abnormal"? Or, to put it another way, how is it any less "normal" than sex in a position other than missionary style?

You ARE wrong, period. Homosexuality is abnormal sexual behavior, period. I've already explained how; which, you ignored as you do anything else anyone presents that shoots your unsubstantiated opinions full of holes.

You can disregard it if you like. That would make your examples dishonest, and not within the context. It was only added after the tap dance and requirement with you for literalism, or just as in this case, you'll try to find loophole in it and squirm in some kind of argument.

We've only been doing this off and on for about 3 years. I can only imagine had I attempted to use Christian morality as a basis ... after you recovered from your stroke, I'd have gotten a 3 page dissertation.

The fact is, there IS a difference between factual abnormality, and opinion-based abnormality.

Careful Gunny...the gyroscopic forces you are generating are placing the planet's axis at risk. Your use of flexible definitions for both abnormal behavior and bad judgement clearly demonstrate that both are subject to interpretation and opinion. Strange isn't it that I want to call a spade a spade and you're playing the "depends on what the definition of "is" is" game. You make blanket statements like "(voluntary) abnormal behavior requires bad judgement", but when push comes to shove, you can't muster anything more than Clintonesque arguments to support your case.

By the way, do you consider sexual deviancy to be factual, semi-factual, partially-factual, opinion-based, social, or imaginary abnormality? Enquiring minds wanna know!

Just as an aside, I am not referring to Chinese foot binding (which by the way is NOT practised any more, and hasnt been since a long time). . . I am referring to a "regular" foot fetish, with healthy, normal feet.

That being said, you seem to be saying that any form of sex which doesn't result in a childbirth is "abnormal". So, going by this statement, what about missionary sex between two people using contraceptives? How is that "normal", by your definition?

You started with
That is consciously deciding to engage in abnormal behavior. Bad judgement.

Then wrote in reply to my saying that "I can list hundreds of abnormal behaviors that had nothing to do with bad judgement" that
No you can't. Any behavior requires the decision to carry it out.

At this point you tried to shift from abnormal behavior to bad behavior with
That decision to consciously engage is bad behavior is due to bad judgement.

After getting back to our original topic of abnormal behavior, you restated your original argument with
To consciously engage in abnormal behavior requires bad judgement.

So now, after 2 days of discussing ABNORMAL behavior and BAD judgement, you attempt to drop BAD from judgement to make the ridiculously obvious argument that choosing requires a decision.
And you cannot provide even one instance of voluntary behavior that does not require judgement in or to engage in it.

After three days of argument, you again cite your argument.
Voluntarily engaging in abnormal behavior REQUIRES bad judgement.

And after three days, when pressed to clarify your definition of bad judgement you add a new term to the argument...factual.
Within the context of bad judgement being required to voluntarily engage in factual, abnormal behavior it is intentionally doing what is known to be wrong.

And then after arguing that S&M is without a doubt (factual?) abnormal behavior, when you realized that there are no moral or legal taboos against a married couple engaging in it, you toss in another new term
considered abnormal behavior by societal/personal opinion so that you can claim that some abnormal voluntary behaviors aren't subject to YOUR definition of bad judgement.

Clintonesque is a perfect adjective for the manner in which you've argued in this thread.

Homosexuality IS abnormal, by definition and simple logic. It's vile and disgusting. It's not wanted around by the overwhelming majority of our nation.

Certain 'kinky' acts or outside simple missionary position (or just for pleasure) are accepted by society, as abnormal, but harmless, when between a man and a woman. Homosexuality has been found to be the opposite. Society doesn't want to accept, condone or look the other way about acts they think are harmful to a society as a whole.

There are personal beliefs to be against queers. There are facts to be against queers. And their is common sense as well. A smelly sphincter will never be "common sense" when it comes to 2 men.

You seem to be saying all sexual acts except those performed in the missionary position are abnormal. Define "normal", and "abnormal".

Further, why is it harmless when performed between a man and a woman, but not two women, or two men?



Homosexuality has been found to be the opposite. Society doesn't want to accept, condone or look the other way about acts they think are harmful to a society as a whole.

Opposite of what? How is homosexuality harmful to society?



There are personal beliefs to be against queers. There are facts to be against queers.

What beliefts? What facts? Are you going to substantiate your argument or not?

Why is homosexuality more harmful than a foot fetish? Or normal sex?

What logic? Could you explain further?

How is it any more or less disgusting than licking a foot, for instance? Why is it less acceptable?

Cut out the fifty questions in response. No matter what anyone presents to you, you only come back with more questions. I have no need to convince or otherwise prove shit to you. Great for you if you support them. I'll denounce the deviants just the same. 2 guys hiding the salami in one another is wrong. Period.

You did NOT, however, give me reasons why homosexuality is not "normal", or why it should be considered abnormal, or why homosexuals shouldn't have the same rights as heterosexuals.

Sure, and crack users think it's normal to smoke crack. Retards think it's normal to wipe shit on one another. Thugs think it's ok to shoot people at random. There are lots of people who lead abnormal lifestyles and I'm sure most of them think it's just fine. Society will dictate what it is willing to accept.

Yes, but equating homosexual acts between two consenting adults with any of the above three is silly. All the above cases are generally ones where the perpetrators are causing harm to others, however, two men having sex with each other doesn't harm other people.



No additional rights for the queers, they have identical rights right now.

I wouldn't quite put it that way, but I agree - equal rights are what's needed, nothing else.

However, I am unsure if homosexual marriage is legal in ALL states? It is in some states, but not all as far as I know. . .

I am not talking about additional rights. I am talking about the same rights.

A man and a woman have the right to marry a woman, and a man respectively.

Why then, should a man not have the right to marry a man, provided the two partners want to marry each other? There is no valid reason for this.

And a man and a woman DO NOT have the right to marry someone of the same sex - whether hetero or homo. See that, applied equally! They have the same rights to go forward with, and must adhere to the same no no's.

You are speaking of altering the current laws, which shouldn't be done just to appease a bad lifestyle choice.

What if I wanted to enlist thousands to get rid of bigamy laws, should we allow multiple partners too? Let's say we allow marrying within the family? How about picking random retards to marry?

And a man and a woman DO NOT have the right to marry someone of the same sex - whether hetero or homo. See that, applied equally! They have the same rights to go forward with, and must adhere to the same no no's.

Let's look at it a different way.

Homosexual couples do not have the same rights as heterosexual couples when it comes to marriage, or other legal rights such as adoption. That is what I am trying to say.


You are speaking of altering the current laws, which shouldn't be done just to appease a bad lifestyle choice.

Have you ever stopped to consider that what you consider to be bad might not be bad for them?



What if I wanted to enlist thousands to get rid of bigamy laws, should we allow multiple partners too?

No, because that would create legal issues. To whom would you award a man's estate if he had three wives? Upon whom would the burden of child care fall if a woman had two husbands, and she divorced both?



Let's say we allow marrying within the family?

I think that is already allowed. If someone wanted to marry a distant cousin, I highly doubt there are any laws prohibiting that, but correct me if I am wrong.



How about picking random retards to marry?

That was a silly remark. :)


At what point do we stand up and defend marriage for what it was meant to be originally?


I say leave things exactly the way they are and alter for no one.

Marriage is a state of union between two people, and that is exactly what I am saying should be allowed. I don't advocate three men marrying one man. I am simply advocating that one homosexual should be allowed to marry another. Simple.

Homosexuals are still the major carrier of new AIDS cases in the United States(harmful to themselves)

Homosexuals willingly contaminated the blood supply in the 1980's needlessly infecting hundreds of thousands of innocent normal people(harmful to others)

In America we live under a democracy, this issue has been put to a vote of the people, the people have overwhelmongly spoken against queer marriage for many valid reasons.

There are currently only two(Gandhi said there were some) out of 50 states that allow queers to marry(Massachusets and New Jersey) and both those were the results of legislative acts thwarting the will of the people.

Gandhi refuses to see that there are hundreds of legitimate reasons to deny queer choicers the right to marry. If it was up to him 70 yr olds could marry 10 yr olds.

Sorry, but I disagree. In fact, attitudes towards homosexuals are changing for the better (except on the issue of homosexual marriages), and homosexuals certainly are not looked upon as those who practice scat etc.

Homosexuals might not see heterosexuals as "normal". Does that mean heterosexuals shouldn't have equal rights?

Percentages do not always show the entire picture for what it is. Given the social stigma attached to homosexuality, many might not come out and admit they are homosexual.

I meant greater than what your studies say. If it says 5 percent of people admit to practising homosexuality, then I'd wager a bet saying that 5 percent would be 15 percent in actuality. . .

Throw in the number of people who have homosexual thoughts, and the number would probably rise.

And how do you magically come up with these figures? And even so, the behavior WOULD STILL be quite deviant.


How do I know? It's human nature not to be honest on such matter. Now, I'm not referring to you, but I really wonder if some of the people dead set against homosexuality are uncomfortable withtheir own latent homosexual desires. . . That's the oldest and lamest rhetoric. Maybe they're dead set against it because they don't want the society they are a part of to decay without a fight.


Fine, if you choose not to listen, up to you.I listen just fine, and make informed and intelligent decisions.


I'm thankful I'm open minded.I'm open minded too, just not about queers and their deviant behavior.


You just listed the reasons why smoking marijuana is not harmful. :-D Thanks!And thank YOU, that was EXACTLY my point. And yet society has deemed it inappropriate. But I'll bet you'll see marijuana legalization long before queers are accepted. Simply put, just because something doesn't hurt "you", doesn't mean it isn't bad for society.


One has, the other hasn't in most places.Marriages are not being accepted, the voting proves that. Homosexuality is not being accepted, voting proves that. What do you think is the underlining reason for those against homo marriages? I wouldn't suppose it has anything to do with them being homos?

How is it bad for society if it doesn't hurt society? Explain this most interesting statement.

The first statement is true, the second is not. Homosexuals are gaining more acceptance by the day.

Yep, sorry to say, but I am. I opened my mind and learned about the issue over the past 25 years or so. I have listened to both sides, news, scientists, doctors, stories... I am still 100% against it and not swayed in the slightest bit.

It is fact that "some of the people dead set against homosexuality are uncomfortable withtheir own latent homosexual desires"? Can you please back that up somehow?

Yes, it is a fact. A lot of these people are homophobic. From your favorite source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homophobia

Here is one interesting snippet:



Some claim (including Sigmund Freud in his psychoanalytic theory[citation needed]) that some or most homophobics are repressed homosexuals, but this claim is somewhat controversial. In 1996, a controlled study of 64 heterosexual men (half claimed to be homophobic by experience and self-reported orientation) at the University of Georgia[29] found that the allegedly homophobic men (as measured by the Index of Homophobia)[30] were considerably more likely to experience more erectile responses when exposed to homoerotic images than non-homophobic men.



Followed by. . .



A component considered to play into homophobia, as considered by some theorists, such as Calvin Thomas and Judith Butler, is an individual's fear of being identified as homosexual him- or herself.

This notion suggests that when expressing homophobic viewpoints and emotions, the individual who does so is not only expressing his thoughts as to homosexuals, but also actively attempting to distance himself from this category and attributed social status. Therefore, by distancing him or herself from the people in question, he/she is reaffirming his/her role as a heterosexual, within heteronormativity, and contributing to the avoidance of his/her potential labeling and consequent treatment as a homosexual.

This interpretation plays into notions of violent opposition to "the Other" as a means of establishing one's identity as part of the majority and therefore, validated by society. This concept is also recurrent in interpretations of racism and xenophobia.

Nancy J. Chodorow states that homophobia can be viewed as method of protection of male masculinity.[31]

Various psychoanalytic theories explain homophobia as a threat to an individual's own homosexual impulses or to a possibility of arising such impulses. This threat causes repression, denial or reaction formation.[32]





No, it's a statement about what I believe. One can be open minded and still end up disagreeing.

True.




I said it didn't hurt the individual or those around him/her, I never said it didn't hurt society. I think homosexuals and drugs both are bad for a civilized society.

Well, if it doesn't hurt the individual, then how does it hurt society which is a collection of individuals?




I'm glad they are in your part of the world,

They are not accepted where I am at currently, but are in the US to a great degree.




Probably for some, and I bet many are opposed simply because they find it offensive that some want their deviant lifestyles to be accepted as the norm.

Yes, but I'd bet the religous opposition far opposes any others on this issue.

Deviant, or different, my point is that it's not wrong. Much as a man engaging in S&M with a woman isn't "wrong".

S&M is deviant too, it's just that society isn't as against that behavior as much as homosexual activities. Whether it's "wrong" or not is up to the person you're asking, it's all pretty much opinion at that point.


Yes, it is a fact. A lot of these people are homophobic. From your favorite source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homophobia

Why is it my favorite source? It wasn't me who used it as a source. Hey, maybe there are some that are opposed as a result of their own insecurities, but certainly not me! I'm opposed because I find it to be vile and disgusting, and I do not want it to be a part of the society I belong to.


Well, if it doesn't hurt the individual, then how does it hurt society which is a collection of individuals?

Society needs principles, decency and standards. There are TONS of things that are outlawed without victims, simply because society doesn't accept them.


They are not accepted where I am at currently, but are in the US to a great degree.

Again, not where I'm from. I grew up in NJ/NY/CT and have traveled the East Coast extensively, and my experience is that the overwhelming majority find homosexuality to be disgusting and offensive.

Aha. So you agree that right or wrong is simply personal opinion, and not a basis on which to deny gay people marriage rights.

Gays have rights in NJ, but cannot get married there. The only state in the entire USA that can perform a same sex marriage is Massachusetts, and even then it's useless unless your home state recognizes it as well.

Keep in mind though, that this will change should it ever come to a vote. There's a huge difference between judges making the decision and the people voting. Do you know what happened in the 19 states that have voted thus far?

Because anyone can go in and change it on the spur of the moment. You could change the Wiki entry for Gandhi, for instance, to say he was a Terrorist, or some such rubbish. Now, they'd eventually remove it, and habitual offenders are tracked by IP, but for the moment, that change would be displayed on the site.

Basically, it's the honor system, and not everyone is that honorable.



Smoking pot, nudity laws, prostitution...


And these don't create "victims"?



Gays have rights in NJ, but cannot get married there. The only state in the entire USA that can perform a same sex marriage is Massachusetts, and even then it's useless unless your home state recognizes it as well.

You are right - I got the two states mixed up. NJ has civil unions but they do not recognize gay/lebsian marriages.

Ok let me ask you this....... I am sure there were a lot of gay people in the military when you were in, did any try to hit on you or do strange things to you? Did any activly watch you while you changed or showered? Im guessing no as you would have probably killed them. So what's wrong with having them in the military? If they arn't bothering people then let them serve our country.

Contrary to popular belief gay people don't just go on the prowl for straight people. They leave them alone. Im sure you have shared a tent with one while in the military and didn't even know he was gay.

What does not knowing where he's supposed to stick his dick have to do with a combat situation? Just because they are gay doesn't mean they wont be valuable in combat. Hell I would think that everyone who hates gay people would love to see them go into combat.

Then how the hell do you come up with those kinds of statements? Queers KNOW they're not allowed in the military to begin with.

Sick sons a bitches, and you are over and over defending this BUTT FUCKING SICKNESS! The same old bull shit, time and time again. So I wonder, are you a queer? Is your brother a queer? Do you have a whole bunch of queer friends? Something is going on here. For some reason you've taken it upon yourself to champion two men sucking each others cock as just good ole boys that are A-OK and should be left alone. Frankly I find it disturbing. I find anyone that defends this vile, disgusting, perversion the way you do a bit odd, especially coming from a proffesed conservative. Because it's NOT a conservative position. Defending FAGGOTS is a LIBERAL position. So please expain why it is you have taken upon yourself to so vigorously defend men fucking each other up the ass.

I DO wish y'all would READ THE THREAD before asking questions already answered.

The gays currently serving in the military are serving the Nation first, and their abnormal lifestyle comes second. By default, everyone is considered straight.

The only gays that want to serve openly gay in the military serve their choice of lifestyle first; otherwise, they would already be serving without anyone knowing they are gay.

There's an old saying ... "God, country and Corps ..." in THAT order. So if you aren't serving God, and you aren't serving the Nation, it doesn't go in front of "Corps."

That isn't a game out there. People die playing that "game." If sticking your dick up Billy's butt is more important than accomplishing the mission, I don't want you around me; especially, with a loaded weapon.

This statement is contradictory to your argument.

Explain exactly what Right homosexuals are being denied. There is no "right to express one's sexuality" in enlistment documentation. As a matter of fact, enlisted documentation, DD Form 4, page 3 used to ask something along he lines ..."are you homosexual or have you ever engaged in any homosexual or other suxually deviant behavior?"

That line has been deleted since "Don't ask, don't tell" was implemented in the early 90's. No homosexuals have the same right as heterosexuals, and any sexual deviants who are not homosexual to keep their sexuality private.

Homosexuals have EVERY right under he US Consitution that anyone else has. Thay have LEGAL equality.

What they don't have is social equality because the vast majority does not believe homosexual behavior is normal behavior. Because it isn't. Tough shit. If one chooses to live outside the conforms of society then must also accept the consequences that go with it.

Let me give you my experience with the queers in the Military. I met my first in the Air Force in 1969. He was an administrative clerk in Base Head Quarters. I met the other one in an Army Hospital in King Fahd Airport outside Dhahran, Saudi Arabia in March, 1991.

My older brother was in Viet Nam, had a wife and a daughter and I had nobody but me. I volunteered to go to Viet Nam in order to allow my older brother to return to his family. Mr. Air Force Q wrote letters, made many phone calls, testified in several hearings on my behalf but I was not sent to Viet Nam until my older brother finished and survived his time there and then I went as ordered. My advocate, Mr. Air Force Q was not a part of that decision.

In March, 1991, while finishing up my tour in Desert Storm I started shitting blood. I wound up in an Army Hospital at King Faud Airport. The Army doctors didn't give one shucks for me but the capital Q ward clerk hovered over me and everyone else on that ward as if we were his entire responsibility. I stopped bleeding and I returned to full duty. Others on that ward can kiss my ass to this day. They obviously didn't want to be there and I didn't either.

Neither of these guys ever absolutely revealed to me their gayness but I was left with no doubt about their sexual propensities/dilemmas. Shame on who? These were both genuine American Heroes in my honest opinion. I would trust my life in the decisions of either long before I could again trust the same in many of those that I served with so long ago.

This is not to say that I did not also receive competent and fair treatment from others that I can only consider hetero (really, I don't know) but condemnation of the queers in the military just doesn't get it with me. They certainly helped me when I needed help the most.

Let me give you my experience with the queers in the Military. I met my first in the Air Force in 1969. He was an administrative clerk in Base Head Quarters. I met the other one in an Army Hospital in King Fahd Airport outside Dhahran, Saudi Arabia in March, 1991.

My older brother was in Viet Nam, had a wife and a daughter and I had nobody but me. I volunteered to go to Viet Nam in order to allow my older brother to return to his family. Mr. Air Force Q wrote letters, made many phone calls, testified in several hearings on my behalf but I was not sent to Viet Nam until my older brother finished and survived his time there and then I went as ordered. My advocate, Mr. Air Force Q was not a part of that decision.

In March, 1991, while finishing up my tour in Desert Storm I started shitting blood. I wound up in an Army Hospital at King Faud Airport. The Army doctors didn't give one shucks for me but the capital Q ward clerk hovered over me and everyone else on that ward as if we were his entire responsibility. I stopped bleeding and I returned to full duty. Others on that ward can kiss my ass to this day. They obviously didn't want to be there and I didn't either.

Neither of these guys ever absolutely revealed to me their gayness but I was left with no doubt about their sexual propensities/dilemmas. Shame on who? These were both genuine American Heroes in my honest opinion. I would trust my life in the decisions of either long before I could again trust the same in many of those that I served with so long ago.

This is not to say that I did not also receive competent and fair treatment from others that I can only consider hetero (really, I don't know) but condemnation of the queers in the military just doesn't get it with me. They certainly helped me when I needed help the most.

So your story, although intended to make everyone feel warm and fuzzy about faggots, doesn't prove anything. They may not even have been queer. They may have just been feminine type men who still like women.

Try again Pb. That was lame.

I spent twenty years in the army and served with gays undoubtedly... I'm sure my commanding officer in one garrison assignment was a lesbian... no she didn't tell... I'm also sure several cooks were gay within units I served but again they never found it necessary to tell.

I think don't ask - don't tell is probablly unconstitutional but great legislation... Since America's founding the common law was brought forward... not the European version but the Pre-Declaration American version of common law was adopted by the US at it founding... these laws reflect the communities where people live... for example if you drive east from Dallas you can drive three hours before being able to buy any type of alcohol... I don't have the right to bother the bible thumpers to insist they provide beer in their supermarkets or 7-11's... The majority of the mob made those laws because they feel comfortable with such laws. The military is a similar community inasmuch there are certain expectations.

The problem is that maybe 3 to 12% of the military would choose to leave the military if they were forced to work openly with gays. So what you may ask... it would cause a draft... even if the figure was 3% there would be another 15% in leadership that would stay in the service due to the retirement investment they have already made. So imagine the law changes and a considerable group of servicemembers exit suddenly, a draft is instituted to fill the gap... the draftees and those hidden in leadership entrapment investments would make openly serving gays and gays in leadership positions impossible.

It's a very bad idea.

General Wants Gay Ban Lifted



Military.com | January 03, 2007

In an op-ed published in Tuesday's New York Times, John M. Shalikashvili, retired Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, says Congress should give "serious reconsideration" to "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," the ban on openly lesbian, gay and bisexual military personnel. Shalikashvili, who supported the ban on open service in 1993, writes that "I now believe that if gay men and lesbians served openly in the United States military, they would not undermine the efficacy of the armed forces," and goes on to say that "Our military has been stretched thin by our deployments in the Middle East, and we must welcome the service of any American who is willing and able to do the job."

"'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' is out of step with both the American public and those within our armed forces," said C. Dixon Osburn, executive director of Servicemembers Legal Defense Network (SLDN). "The counsel of military leaders increasingly supports repeal of the law. Congress must, as General Shalikashvili urges, consider the overwhelming evidence of the past fourteen years. If they do, the clear answer is that we must lift the ban."

Shalikashvili, who was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs from 1993 to 1997, joins other senior retired military officers who have called for repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." In May 2006, Lieutenant General Claudia Kennedy, USA (Ret.), the first female three-star officer in Army history, called the law "a hollow policy that serves no useful purpose." Lieutenant General Daniel W. Christman, former superintendent of West Point, recently told The New York Times that "It is clear that national attitudes toward this issue have evolved considerably in the last decade. This has been led by a new generation of service members who take a more relaxed and tolerant view toward homosexuality." Retired Admiral John Hutson, who currently serves as Dean of Franklin Pierce Law School, also recently wrote that "It would be a great tragedy if we didn't take advantage of (the) chance to correct a flawed policy."

In 2003, two retired generals and an admiral 'came out' in the New York Times, and in November 2006 fourteen senior retired military officers urged the First Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn the ban. They wrote that the law "undermines the military's ability to fulfill its primary mission of providing national security by discouraging the enlistment of gay persons qualified to serve their country and by expelling from the military those who have served with honor."

In today's op-ed, General Shalikashvili writes that "Last year I held a number of meetings with gay soldiers and marines, including some with combat experience in Iraq, and an openly gay senior sailor who was serving effectively as a member of a nuclear submarine crew. These conversations showed me just how much the military has changed, and that gays and lesbians can be accepted by their peers."

A December 18th Zogby poll also found that 73% of military personnel polled were comfortable with lesbians and gays.

"General Shalikashvili's statement is the first by a Joint Chiefs Chairman to call for repeal, and as such is enormously significant," said Osburn. "The Pentagon has dismissed more than 11,000 men and women under this law. It is clear that enforcement of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' is arbitrary. We continue to lose critical personnel who happen to be gay. As General Shalikashvili points out, continuing to keep this law on the books is detrimental to our national security."

That is logistical problem number 1. There is no way straight men should be forced into the uncomfortable circumstance of having to be naked in front of someone that is of the same sex and afflicted with a mental illness that makes them sexually attracted to them. It would never work, and the powers to be know it. There is simply not one single scenario where a homo could be incorporated into a basic training situation without problems.

I just heard the other day in conversation that the number of homos kicked out of the military was down this year, drastically. Sounds like in times of war and bad recruitment, the military decides fags can fight after all. Never thought I'd think bad of the military, but this sounds a lot like turning a blind eye just because they're in need of troops. Sounds like something is rotten to me.

Amazing. If I knew her recruiter, I'd rat her out. I'm sure he/she would find not only the fact that she's a gash licker interesting, but the fact that she was so proud of that burning American flag avatar.

LN - stick to your guns and debate your best, but don't do anything stupid. Don't ever share information such as that. You're a nutcase at times but have the right to live your own life just as much as the rest of us. Just stay cute though as nobody likes the lesbians that look like men! :)

Uh ha, fuck my day up, lol, maybe save me from myself, lol.

What I find interesting is you seem to think better people than me are clamoring to do what I'm planning. 4 years of nursing school, then give 8 years of your life to the government and country. There are so many full ride nursing scholarships out there, I've got tons of offers. You want your college paid for, if it's for nursing the private sector and state governments beat out the military in offering them with much easier commitments. Out of a class of hundreds of students I'm the only one doing it in conservative Kentucky. All the students you might approve of say hell no.

And another thing lets say I'm a nurse in a hospital for a soldier whose been seriously injured in an IED attack. You think that soldiers gona give a damn if I'm a lesbian or just be grateful to have adequate nursing considering the shortage of nurses everywhere. I don't think anyone would.

I don't give a rats ass what the soldier that got hit with an IED is thinking. I care what the military thinks. That's what matters, and the military thinks if you openly admit you're a lesbian, you don't belong there. Period.

And also, next time you're at the recruiters office, why don't you brag about your burning American flag avatar you so proudly displayed here. Think you'll find many people that think it was as cute as you did? No. I don't either. You'll probably get your ass kicked.

Just do the military and yourself a favor and stick with the private sector. The military doesn't need your anti American, lesbian, stench in it.

Finding her way my ass. She's about as deeply rooted into anti America, twisted, liberal ideals as one can get. She posted the flag burning avatar because she thought it was cool, and she didn't just piss "ME" off. She pissed off every veteran, patriot, and practically every other person on the board. And if it didn't piss you off, then I have serious doubts as to what you are, and I'll keep that in mind.

Honorable service is honorable service and commendable no matter who provides it. Now you can prove that homosexuals are incapable of providing honorable service or STFU yourself.

The ONLY way homos have been able to serve is to HIDE the fact that they're homos. That means they have to act STRAIGHT. Normal fighting men don't want Bruce snuggling up behind him wanting to pump him in the fox hole. Fags just can't be around normal men. They'll either get themselves or someone else killed if they act like homos.

lastly, it doesn't really matter what a homo is doing, there is NOTHING "honorable" about being a faggot. It's immoral, sick, perverted and disgusting.

Sorry. The quality of a homos service isn't the issue. The issue is the danger and disruption of a homo being among masses of straight people, which in the course of that service also includes them all to be naked together. That is number one. The military just is not set up to deal with people that have a gender identity crisis.

I think you're a good person mrg, and I'm not trying to pick a fight with you, but saying "she's a kid" is really lame. By all intents and purpose, she's an adult, but to even say she's a kid, that's no excuse for not knowing right from wrong. I knew right from wrong when I was a kid, and I'd bet you did too.

My personal opinion, gays engage in deviant behaviors that are against nature and gods plan, and which are more likely to cause disease.

Not to mention, a substantial amount dont wear protection.

Lets not forget who got aids first, homosexuals.

And to be fair, we should not un-moral straights in the military, if you cheat, are an alcoholic, or a deviant in any way, youre gone.
