Fox News Poll: Most Voters Say Allow Gays to Serve Openly

Explain how wanting to serve our country is whining or demanding "special" rights. Seems to me we are all equal in front of the canon. Grow up.

Whining that all must know you are gay. SHUT UP we don't care
 
That is and easy one By pushing gay marriage, DADT, and trying to take the rights away from parents a teaching it to kids in grammar school..........

If parents don't want their kids to know about this stuff, perhaps they should homeschool them. There are subtle and delicate ways of describing homosexuals to younger kids. One doesn't have to get descriptive and vulgar. It's a fact of life. You can bury your head in the sand all you want, but it doesn't change anything. It is now 2010 and it is a good chance that children are going to encounter homosexuality whether it be on tv or otherwise. Trying to shelter your kids from it will only result in confusion.

A lot of us don't believe marriage is a joke, we believe its a sacred institution......The only reason the divorce rate is up so high is because a lot of young people have sex for the first time and think they are in love so they get married.....after the novelty of sex wears off and that is all there was between the 2 they get divorced.........If you throw all these immature youg people out you would find the divorce rate much lower.......

You can believe it is sacred all you want. The fact of the matter is that it is a mockery compared to the way it was before. There are reality shows based on it. How exactly do you discern the mature younger people from the immature young people and how exactly do you enforce not allowing these people to marry?

We don't care about your religion either, but that doesn't stop certain mouthy Christians either.
 
This is all BS. The only people trying to foist their beliefs on anyone are the anti-gay folk that want to keep discrimination in place.

Nowhere are gays saying that You or anyone else has to condone or accept their "lifestyle" any more than we have to accept ANYONE's lifestyle.
Its about governmental involvement in discrimination, nothing more...nothing less.

Why should what YOU consider a "sacred institution" be required to be what your neighbor thinks is a "sacred institution"?
There were a lot of people who thought slavery was a "Sacred institution"...it didn't make it right.

There were a lot of people who argued that allowing intermixing of our race as destroying a "sacred insitutition". They were wrong as well.

Why weren't segregated schools, drinking fountains and theaters good enough?
After all....separate but equal is fine for you isn't it Navy?

The whole "Shoving a lifestyle down our throats" is nothing more than a talking point by the anti-gay folk who simply want to keep discrimination well and alive in the United States....well guess what....America is waking up to you and moving in a direction of freedom and justice for ALL...not just some.

Its like you live in a fantasy world DD.......What the lefties in DP say does not count.......I imagine the most vocal of them are about 10 or 11 years old and are using daddys comouter while he is at work.......

You keep saying the same thing over and over after each state votes and votes against you........You are losing all contact with reality......You have not won once when the people voted........The only time you have won is when activists have ruled in your favor and they are usually getting overturned like in New Jersey, Maine, and even California...........

I hate to break it to you buddy but you will not see this thin happen in yours or your kids lifetime........

Seek help my friend......there are some good medical people that can help you with this fixation........good luck.....

So now parents should homeschool so gays can have special rights?

More of gays trying to take over
 
So obey the law and you won't.........Its as simple as that........

A law that almost cost the military a very valuable highly trained West Point Graduate. Now there is a winning strategy:roll:

If parents want their children to be sheltered from the realities of the world, you're damn right they should.

Why should gays get special rights and special classes.

How about classes on Autism and obesity and divorce and foster kids and... Get the point. This is discrimination that only gays get special classes.

What special rights would those be? Making kids aware that they exist? :doh

It wouldn't require a special class. Parents should be doing this on their own regardless.

Sometimes laws are tough but you have to obey them.......There were a few I did not like but I obeyed them.........If you don't like how the military works don't join.......Its not a democracy........

That is a parents job, besides they are trying to do much more then that........

Like a law that says that you can't discriminate against gays based on sexual orientation? Like a good soldier, you may not like it, but you will obey it. That is how the military works, its not a democracy.
 
If parents want their children to be sheltered from the realities of the world, you're damn right they should.

Don't worry sadly grade school kids will find out soon enough about what the world is like.......Let them enjoy their innocence....

The one thing you said right the military is not a democracy.....You live by rules.........if you don't like it don't enlist.......don't try to make the Navy I love a social experiment.......I will fight it until my last breath and so will a lot of my shipmates.......
 
But that's just it Navy:

The World does not HAVE to be a hateful, discriminatory, prejudicial place.

If people would just be more loving and tolerant of other people, it would make the world a much much better place for these children to grow up in.

If we all followed the "Golden Rule" and truly tried to live Christ-like lives of service and respect for the rights of others....we wouldn't have to be concerned about the world destroying a child's innocense.

Seems contradictory. You talk about living by the rules and the Navy not being a democracy and then in the same breath you say that you and your shipmates will fight against the rules until your last breath.
 
Don't worry sadly grade school kids will find out soon enough about what the world is like.......Let them enjoy their innocence....

How exactly will their innocence be lost if they find out that homosexuals exist? People don't come factory installed to believe that there are only heterosexuals out there. It's not like it has to be as difficult as you and others are making it out to be.

What rules am I fighting against?:confused: you are the one doing that and its really none of your business........

are you a real doctor? If you don't know the answer to that I really can't help you.........

If the ban is lifted, you have advocated that soldiers who disagree should "leave in droves"...haven't you? ]
Maybe I am misconstruing your position, if I am, I apologize.

I would hope that I am and that you are not being hypocritical in your argument here.
If the military lifts the ban, will you continue to fight to your last breath against it, or will you follow what you said about a good solidier and follow the orders to obey, because the military is not a democracy.

I'm interested to know if I have your argument correct or if I am unfairly misconstruing your position. Let me know.

Who says they are not? No other group gets this special class. I guess discrimination is ok if it is not gays.

You mean like gays are to Christians?
