If it makes you feel any better, its in name only. We tend to just let them talk, agree with whatever they were trying to say, and then go out and do it correctly instead.

Hate to break up a good argument, but they have a right to do that, and no exception should be made to undermine that right.


Plus, I think the WBC serve an important function. When you hear the **** they get up to, you could almost do with a bit of police brutality... and then you realise that must be how conservatives think all the time*.

You feel the icecube of empathy slide down your back.

The good thing about signs is they make it easier to identify a**holes from a distance.

Edit: Hey, how come some people can type curse words and I can't?

Not sure how you read my post, being that you're "ignoring me", but if I were you, I would silence such nonsense, before we invade Canada. This ****** has that POWA! Respect my Authortay!! Or become part of the "Axis of Evil"....Mwahahaha!


LOL I would love for the US to invade Canada, it would be a most epic comedic act. Here is a little timeline for you. The US invades Canada, the US is at a defacto state of War with the entire Commonwealth. Furthermore you could likely toss Ireland, France, Italy, Germany into that (although more likely the entirety of NATO outside the US) as well as China, Russia, and Japan (and likely the majority of the UN based on Canada's worldwide reputation.)

Oh sure it will be a quick invasion, but you won't be holding power here for long. It would be utterly hilarious to watch the US burn to the ground because 90% of the world likes us, and not you.

It doesn't really matter what you or I believe. Here's how I predict that gay marriage will play out:

Gay marriage will eventually be legal, history will look back on us and wonder what the hell took us so long.

It's fun to look back at the original post and think how the hell we got here from there.


You're right, it will at one point be legal. I disagree with the U.S looking back wondering why it took so long. As I said before, the media plays a major role in the change in society and the increase of acceptance of homosexuality has less to do with personal references and more to do with social media propaganda. Now, if you express that you don't support homosexuality, you're negatively labeled with nonsensical words such as "homophobe".

Speaking of, I pray that my next NCO knows what's going on... I was very fortunate so far.. Hopefully I can get a command, but more than likely I'll be the SIGO... Wouldn't it be funny if we were stationed together? LOL...I can only imagine that initial counseling.

You're insane if you think the world would say "Yeah, let's break relations with the US and go to war with a nuclear-equipped nation all in the name of saving Canada."

You're even more insane if you think China and Japan would jeopardize the value of their Treasury securities by going to war with the US.

As opposed to "not saying anything at all and letting people make their own decisions".. Everything doesn't have to go back to religion... /smh

Even with "religious propaganda", it's much more contained within the religion as opposed to the media. We don't see pastors on our prime time T.V shows and movies preaching against homosexuality as much as you do the alternate aforementioned.

While I agree fully that Canada is liked more than the US, let's be honest. The rest of the world isn't going to overlook their own self interests to save Canada and set off World War III. Between that and fear of nuclear reprisal. And yes, it is quite a stupid situation.

Thankfully, I can't really think of even a fake reason to invade Canada. Then again, I'm also not a President.

I can't stand initial counselings. Mainly because they ALWAYS involve a comment on how I'm also to have "the proper military attitude," and twenty minutes later I'm either laughing my *** off or telling a gay joke somewhere. I'd kill for a CO who brings me to the office and says "Okay, I don't give a **** how you act around here. Dress like a soldier, get what you need to done, act like a soldier when someone who can gig us is around, and we're cool." Don't tell me **** I've been hearing since boot camp. Chances are I've been hearing it longer than you've been saying it. Smiley: motz

I do, only in the Asylum though. Everywhere else I just let it filter.

It isn't working.

That's funny, because I've never mentioned behavior before..I always thought that was assumed. I really only care about accomplishing the mission, self development and overall leadership. I don't care how you do it (as long as it's mostly legal and ethical), as long as you do it and within the time set upon. I make it blatantly clear that your job is to guide me as you are the SME.

I really hate getting involved in "NCO business". Once we set up a time (and you've shown that you're capable of doing the job without anyone holding your hand), I just come around during time hacks. I think that's why my NCO's like me, I give them their freedom to do their job and only intervene when they ***** up numerous times.

I just don't have the time nor desire to do two jobs...

I didn't say we would get our country back. But you are silly to think the world wouldn't stop the US from attaining all the natural resources we have here. China would solely come just to get there hands on Alberta.

I've explained this to you before. I can still see the about 30-40 characters from what you type. So if you want a response, type something that might entice me during those first 30 or so characters


They're like little tweets of idiocy.


Is "tweets of idiocy" redundant?

I've never done gate guard. I think the closest thing would be perimeter security, and that was more sitting in a tower and shooting at vehicles that decided the "Hey, if you drive faster than 20mph past this sign, your *** is gonna get shot at" sign wasn't really serious.

Do people still not understand that the First Amendment is often and relatively easily restricted? Strict scrutiny, anyone? Time, place, and manner? Common state interests? Anyone? Bueller? (didn't actually read the entire thread, if anyone did)

They could have easily justified this, and while I personally don't care much either way, the First Amendment already doesn't protect against certain kinds of inflammatory speech/assembly, e.g., "fighting words." While I think it's fine to say that you think this kind of speech/assembly should be protected, it's asinine to think that Constitutional law prevents rulings that restrict it. It doesn't. It is almost purely up to the discretion of the Supreme Court Justices.

Did you even read my counter statistics? Two polls were done just last month that had opposite results. I'm not debating if there exist 500 plus people out of a 1000 who supports SSM. Any idiot knows that is statistically possible, just as it's statistically possible to find 1000 people who disagree with SSM. Does that mean approximately 100% of the nation is against SSM? No.

I'm using reality, not play play polls that have different results depending on how they are conducted and who responds to them. There's only one answer, either the majority supports it or the majority doesn't. Maybe in your world, 1000 is relatively close to 300,000,000, but not by any logical stand point.

I asked you questions and you ignored them. The reason why you ignored them is because you agree to the logic presented, which completely contradicts your claim.


Edited, Apr 17th 2011 11:18am by Almalieque

Edit: FYI I think I might "flip flop" once again on my personal opinion on SSM, which doesn't matter because my argument that I presented neglects my personal feelings. That happens when you argue with logic instead of emotions....You should try it some time.
