    A law has been passed which favors only Muslims from having their property be protected from arsonists? Do tell.

    I get back to the Annex and my Col's loike "What did you say to piss off Barbara Boxer?" The truth. Why do all you women who will NEVER have to suffer the consequences of your actions want to shove ALL the women in the military into combat because 4 bull dykes are screeching about it?

    It didn't go over well.

    You're trying to play semantics, FJ. Try an honest argument. You KNOW what his point is. You just ain't that dumb.
