I don't feel the need to explain the difference between outright discrimination & affirmative action to you. If it's something you want to learn, go nuts.

No, it's not. If it was, we wouldn't be having this conversation. You have yet to provide any clear argument for the reinstatement of DADT as you are a coward.

Alma wrote:
Well, if you exclude what was argued and the result of the appeal, i.e. homosexual couples not receiving the same benefits as heterosexual couples, then you would be absolutely correct. Given the fact that isn't the case, then you're the one in denial.

You're right that they are separate issues, that's my point. There's nothing preventing the military from giving benefits to homosexual couples. They choose not to. The two are not connected.


So...we agree that the rights of homosexual couples in the military have little to do with DADT repeal? Cool. So what's your point?

You see the protesters on the news? That's action.


So you've got no evidence to dispute my claims & can't do so? I guess I win then.

Alma wrote:

If only someone would actually read post 206.


I did read it, I even quoted the whole thing & responded point by point to what I got out of it. Whatever you think is in there that "proves" any sort of point isn't. It's mostly you arguing about comfort & the "slippery slope" of repeal. The only "logic" in there is that because the military discriminates because of other things, why not this? But you've since gone back on that so I don't know what the hell you think besides it'd be creepy for gay dudes to shower near you (But that doesn't apply to you anyway so...)

I'm done answering your questions. You can't provide a single practical reason to discriminate due to one's sexual orientation in any scenario, let alone in the military. Unless you can, or want to offer why it is you seem to oppose gay rights in general, you have nothing more to offer towards this debate.

It's like this, people may support these things in their private lives. However, when a politician is getting a lot of money from a certain lobby which, say, doesn't want teh gays to get married for whatever bullshit reason they have, the politician isn't going to do the right thing and lose a lot of money. They're not wired like that.

So now there's a difference between "outright" discrimination and discrimination? I'm pointing out to you that you're just making up stuff. There is no difference between hiring a less qualified person over a more qualified person due to skin color and hiring a less qualified person over a more qualified person due to skin color.

Unless you can somehow differentiate the two, the two are the same. Your entire argument on how it was "necessary" was due to "white privilege" but you have yet responded on your thought on when "privileged" white people gain from affirmative action.

Obviously it does or I wouldn't be able to quote it to counter stupid claims like "all changes must be done all at once". Everything is clear. If you think something is not clear, then quote exactly what you think is not clear and then I can clarify. Since you refuse to do so, then you're the coward.

Even when you quoted my post, you gave counters to it WHICH MEANS YOU UNDERSTOOD MY CLAIM. You not agreeing to my point and you not understanding it are two different things.

Nice try. You argued that the only reason for DADT was due to the lack of acceptance of homosexuality and now that everyone loves gays, it was removed. I countered to say that isn't the case. Just because homosexuality is popular in the media, doesn't mean that everyone equally view homosexuality.

I argued that the military hasn't changed their views on homosexuals or they would have changed the rule on their own accord, not be forced to do so. I argued that their reasons for DADT were of the same reasons that I posted on post 206, which had nothing to do with bigotry. I concluded that the evidence is in how the repeal was done. It still supported all of the concerns that I listed on post 206 and part of that is the fact that homosexual couples do not receive the same benefits as heterosexual couples.

You countered that the only reason that was the case was because of DOMA.

I countered to say that isn't the case, because you receiving extra living allowance is based on having a dependent, not a spouse. Your dependent could be a spouse, child, care giver, etc. If the military wanted, they could define "life time partner" as a "dependent". They don't for one of the very same reasons why the homosexual policy was instated in the first place.

There's a difference between "selection" & "discrimination", *************** For the last time, when I say discrimination I'm using the definition that falls under "making an an unjust or prejudicial distinction in the treatment of different categories of people or things", not "choosing between two or more things".

Affirmative action is a response to racism & until such a time that white's are in the minority, I don't believe that affirmative action can be misconstrued as racial discrimination to white's. Feel free to disagree with me, I don't give a fuck.

Breakdown: Post 206, you used "comfort" as a reason that DADT was instated & should be upheld. I countered that because the military & American public have been proven to be comfortable with homosexuals, it was no longer logical to exclude them & it's one of the reasons DADT was repealed. "Popularity" has nothing to do with human rights.

Read this article to learn a bit about how DOMA effects the military & how steps are being taken to repeal DOMA
. In fact, it's military couples suing that may get DOMA repealed! I'm not going to pretend I know more about the military's inner workings than you do, but in this case it looks like I'm correct about how DOMA applies to the military.

RE: http://www.onemarinesview.com/one_marines_view/2011/07/does-the-military-really-support-dadt-like-the-survey-said.html

Dude, I don't normally attack sources, but a link to a blog that discusses a study which is then paraphrased by an organization that's sole purpose is to prevent gays in the military & limit woman's roles is pretty weak. Really, that's all you got? Fox News doesn't have anything you can use?

I suppose I really do win.

Well, you can if you understand politics. "Republicans" as a general class may have plurality/majority support for SSM or whatever. This doesn't mean that GOP politicians do. So how are they elected? Because people who oppose these things typically do so more strongly than people whose opinion is "Sure, whatever" and the "family values" style primary voter comes out in greater numbers than the largely ambivalent voter. Why do you think GOP politicians put so much effort into appealing to Evangelicals?

You're falsely accusing me of using fictional terminology. I gave you a very simple task. You said that selecting a less qualified person over a more qualified person simply due to race in affirmative action is somehow different than selecting a less qualified person over a more qualified person simply due to race in other scenarios. I asked you to explain how they are different. If you can't, because they aren't different, then either man up and admit it or politely STFU.

As I stated before (and you conveniently overlooked), everyone (including white people) benefit from affirmative action. So, if your stance on affirmative action relies on the unjust done towards ethnic minorities, then what's your stance on when it benefits white people? Do you support affirmative action then? How can you support widening the racial gap if you're fighting to close it?

I didn't for a minute take my source as something that I would defend. For almost any argument, I can google a counter study. My point is to show you how polls don't override actions. No matter how many polls you pull up, actions speak louder than words. If the military really wanted to show homosexuals extra love, then the military would have done this on their own accord.

It's not a coincidence that a decision on a national level that involves the President favors homosexuals, yet the lower court systems in the states seem to not favor homosexuals.


You can pout all you want, but the problem is civilians wanting to equalize military life with civilian life. You simply don't have the same rights and there is method to the madness and that is all explained in post 206.

There are two ways that this can be interpreted.

1. That Alma thinks that he's being clear and concise by referring to a muddled, long-winded post concisely.
2. That Alma thinks that post 206 is clear and concise.

Both of them make him look like an idiot. Either way, it's probably true that that's as good a job as he can do to explain himself, which is a sorry statement indeed.

Or he's just actually incapable of being more clear and concise due to some failing in his mastery of the language or ability to compose his thoughts. He may be accurate that 206 represents the very pinnacle of his abilities to create a clear and concise argument.

Alma, let me try this one more time.

Post 206 does not say what you think it says.

Maybe in *your* head, it's clear as a bell. Maybe to *you*, it sums up all your arguments perfectly. But to the rest of the world, it says nothing. It's a lot of vague statements that don't make any real sense.

I know you'll say that this is the failing of the rest of us, that we just aren't able to understand you, but that's not the case.

You are unable to get your point across.

You once said that you only have this problem on this forum, that people in real life don't seem to have as much issue understanding you. I know what's going on. The same thing that goes on when my slightly senile neighbor tries to tell me something. I smile, nod, say "Boy, you got that right!" and walk away.

On a barely-related note, that reminded me of a time back in grad school, when a classmate of mine was venting to me about a fight that she was having about desk space. Apparently, she had straight-up annexed a neighboring girl's desk without asking, and told me as much without so much as a hint of regret.

After railing on the other girl for a bit, she said something like "I CAN'T HELP IT IF I NEED TWO DESKS! I WORK HARD AND I HAVE TO TAKE UP MORE SPACE! THAT'S NOT MY FAULT! SHE SHOULD BE UNDERSTANDING! RIGHT?! RIGHT?!"

She was looking at me pretty expectantly for confirmation, and all I thought was that she sounded like she was being a huge *****. Not knowing what to do, I just said "Yeah, that just sounds like a bad situation for everybody!" and quickly ran off.

She probably took that as agreement, somehow.
