Prop 8 OverturnedFollow

The analogy doesn't fit, though. Here's the proper analogy:

If you were running late to an appointment and you've already moved through half of the traffic being held up because of an accident and your co-worker calls you on your cell phone and says, "you might not want to take the short route, there's an accident slowing up traffic, you're better off taking the longer route because you'll end up getting there quicker", which route would you take?

I would stay on the shorter route, because it makes no sense to turn around and start all over again.

I get that you're trying to show why starting the repeal of DADT wasn't "logical" to you because repealing a different law makes more sense to you. Unfortunately, that's not the route that the people working towards making a positive change in the military chose to take. There's absolutely no reason to abandon all of the progress that has been made in order to make you happy. Or make "logic" happy, if that terminology makes you feel better.

Now, though, all you're doing is screaming and crying that you don't support the repeal of DADT simply because you don't like the way they did it. That's immature, Alma.

Tell me how logical it is to abandon progress when the change is pretty much done in an effort to change a completely different law, then go back and start on DADT again? It makes no sense. There are no rules on the order that change has to be made. There is nothing saying that if DADT is changed, the sodomy laws cannot also be changed. I don't know why you're so tenaciously holding on to this tact, as it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

No, wait. I do understand. You're doing it because, really, it's all you've got once you realized that homosexuals actually can be kicked out of the military for simply admitting that they are homosexual. When no one believed your delusions that it wasn't true, that you could say you were homosexual and it didn't matter, you decided to try a different tact, and it failed just as utterly.

Lol, so little you know about the military...

So, let me ask you this, do you believe that the only discrimination in writing from the military is based on expression?




Well, when I show up to work, everyone knows my skin color and yours as well. No one knows your sexuality, religious beliefs, political views, fears, etc. until actions are done. So the comparison of a physical trait to a personality trait is a complete failure.


So, you're saying that being born with certain feelings towards something,( something that you didn't know existed prior to birth), must be expressed openly as a part of your life. That telling someone not to tell people or give the perception that they are attracted to little girls is the same thing as telling you not to be white?

Interesting... I would like to know the answer to that question..

Who asked you?

as an expert in putting my **** into things, I felt the need to weigh in.

I know, I was making a DADT joke. I don't even know why I pretend to care about your rights, you filthy ****-******


And Ari, fix your fUcking quote.

?

Also, why are all your posts showing up as a one line header, that doesn't have any of your post content in it, but can be expanded out with a click to show the content, and that the post is at your usual "good" rating?

Yes, going out for dinner as a couple one night isn't going to twinge anyone's gaydar. But spending the holidays at each other's extended families, mentioning John while off duty on a regular basis, more often than other friends are mentioned, living with one another, making weekly shopping trips together, doing house and yard work together, owning a car together, and holding each other's hands off base might, just might tip fellow personnel off, while being reasonable public behaviour.

I bet it's the report button. I'm pretty offensive.

Lol, you just don't realize the lifestyle of the military.... In your attempt to try to be as "gay" as possible, I'm thinking of a couple of straight people that I know that fit most of that except of the "holding hands part" and extended family part, but no I never get that far into anyone's business to even know that they're gone let alone know who they are actually seeing.

You know, that's kinda the point of DADT, no matter how questionable your behavior is, unless you actually do something like hold hands, say something or make a video, they can't question you nor do you have to answer.

That's weird. Your computer is filtering BT.

Do you have him on ignore? I do, and that's how his posts show up to me.
