95% of Marines uncomfortable serving with openly gay troops

Sados (I'm assuming you're talking about sado-masochists) already can serve openly. So can nudists. Both of these groups can tell their fellow servicemembers about both their sexual activities and/or how they spend their off-time completely naked, and have no fear of discharge due to what they are doing in their off-time as long as they are not hurting anyone else and doing their activities within the law. And they should allow transgendered persons to serve. Cross-dressers can serve, btw, they must wear the clothes of their biological sex on duty, on base, or at military functions, but the military cannot discharge a person for just being a crossdresser, especially if they are not bringing it to anyone's attention that they are in the military. And, there are actually more guys than you would believe, I'd bet, that underdress while in uniform.

So you really should find a better argument.

I also want to make sure that transgender people have the right to serve in whatever unit they so choose regardless of what sex they were born. I want special all gay units to protect gays from discrimination if they so choose. I want programs instituted to ensure that tolerance of these alternate lifestyles is top priority. If training is too hard and a nudist needs to shed their clothes or complete basic training in the nude, I want this done, I want their rights supported. If a sado wants to do 5000 pushups more because they enjoy the punishment, I want our DI's to ensure that this happens to protect their rights. Our military is broken, it has been for many years and it is time we take drastic measures to make everyone feel good, because that is the job of the military. I want daily hugs given in basic training too. I want all straights to give our gay soldiers a hug everyday in support as well as our other alternate lifestyle folk so they feel accepted. If a soldier wants to complete basic in full drag, by all means, let's do it in support of this oppressed minority. It will only strengthen our broken military. We have a lot of work to do! Let's make a mandatory national drag day in all branches in support especially at the pentagon. We can, yes we can, yes we can!

Still not a good argument. Gays are already serving in every branch and unit in the military. They have already shown that they can do the job.

And there are plenty of people who have argued to allow women to serve in combat units. If a woman, who becomes a man, could prove that "he" is able to do the job (especially since "he" would now not have any of the issues of distracting the other men, nor biological issues of being a woman), then let him.

Everyone still has to follow the rules and regulations of the military. Most of those are there for good reasons. Wearing a uniform most certainly has good reasons.

If someone wants to try to do 5000 pushups, have at it. That is a personal choice. A DI would never, for instance, be forced to make homosexuals hit on other guys or even look at other guys in the unit.

Equal treatment and tolerance in the military should not override the safety of the member and/or good order and discipline of the military. There are reasons that many of those that you mentioned would certainly be detrimental to that good order or discipline or to the safety of a member.

Quick, get this man some more straw!
 
Bottom line is the military should not be used for social experimentation be it with women or gays...That is not what it was established for...It is there to protect this country and fight our wars...no other reason.....Liberals and gays get off their backs and let them do their job......

It's not an experiment Navy. Almost every one lives with, works with, spends time in close proximity to gay people now. We are entirely and completely past the "social experiment" part.

Just you tell our public service masters, going overboard as ever they do. In England, navy sailors are forced to roleplay as homosexuals, as I linked-to on the first page or so. And recently, firemen in the north of England were SUSPENDED and DISCIPLINED for refusing to take part in a 'voluntary' pride march. There are even 'pink' flags flown from police stations and special detachments of soldiers sent to headline the parades of preening weirdos.

When our bosses, as Navy says, stop being so obsessed as to hinder normal operations then perhaps attitudes against Liberal meddlers will soften.

NB: I'm sure this belated reply is for this topic, in regards to strange boys being allowed to attend school in skirts whilst other kids are threatened with punishment for daring to question it. (Or even point and laugh.)

And ideas of gender roles are nowhere NEAR static across different cultures.

At the bottom line they share certain fundamentals, such as the age old roles of male hunter-gatherer and female mother and homemaker. In modern societies the lines have become less distinct and things have moved around, but nature has ensured even tribes and societies mutually exclusive shared these basic instincts.



Does it matter?

As I say, certainly if the kid has some undiagnosed something. If that undiagnosed something manifests itself in strange ways then it would be parental negligence not to have it checked out before going any further.




I have my own value system, I just dont impose it on those around me.

Unlike the school, which wants to do that very thing with the schoolkids who'd quite naturally raise their eyebrows at the very least.

Define for me what normal is.

Women are feminine and clothes have developed to match - right through the ages. That's pretty much normal.

Good. Perverts can prey on the vulnerable. End of.

....in 50 years we went from beating blacks in the streets to a black president, I'd say there's cause to be optimistic.


Interestingly, he's half-white. but good old Obammers will beat himself up over that race crime until he dies. Indeed, I hear he's been off to India, putting foreign workers above those of his own. 'Too white' I guess.

See, he's got the modern 21st Century credentials required (including being a cranky racist communist and having an unrepentent illegal immigrant aunt):





From Dreams of My Father: “I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.”

From Dreams of My Father: “I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother’s race.”

From Dreams of My Father: “There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.”



From Dreams of My Father: “It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.”


From Dreams of My Father: “I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.”

Obama? I'd not hold him in too high esteem! Try the likes of Martin Luther King Jr, at least on teh face of it a more convincing role model for equal rights!

That... disgusts me. Then again it's progressive England, so it doesn't surprise me.

Well, you know how it is. You need to be 'tolerant' of all views and opinions, except those of the strange and peculiar ordinary people!
 
You are lying. As a veteran even back in 91 I can tell you we did no such thing.

yeah; i've seen several fairly obvious cases go carefully ignored by the chain of command.

Which view of yours are we not tolerating?

Since no one knows how its going to turn out it is and experiment............Its true they everyone associates and works with gays but the military is different especially the Navy where when at sea you live with them 24/7.... sleep, shower and undress with them No civilian job requires that.........that is the difference.............

On another note why don't you consolidate this thread with the one I started?

You are right Navy....the military is not a device for the right-wing to experiment with as their last bastion of hope in fighting against gay civil rights. The right-wing wants to use the military to push their agenda because they klnow that once the military goes, gay marriage is just around the corner.
The military is there to protect this country and fight our wars....no other reason....certainly not to be manipulated to advance a right-wing social agenda.....
Right-wingers and bigots get off the back of the military and let them do their job.

Hate to break it to you Navy....but under DADT....gay men are already sleeping, showering and undressessing with straight men.
Does not knowing that someone is gay give you a sense of security that a gay person isn't checking out your junk?

Let me give you another clue Navy.....most gay men do not go around trying to check out every straight (or gay for that matter) man that they can. Most gay men are perfectly capable of serving professionally.

At last Liberals, we've got to the nub. Let me just say that again nice and loud, so it can't be wriggled out of later......

Now then. As homosexuals can quite adequately behave just like everyone else (because, apparently, they ARE part of everyone else) we can scrap all these stupid gay-foisting laws.

We don't NEED 5 year olds to be taught about homosexuals (alienating the priceless Muslims into the bargain). We don't NEED special gay parades and mind control. We don't NEED awful bloody boring switchboards and condoms handed out. We don't NEED National Health Service leaflets advising gay men on the best places to have outdoor sex in London. Etc.


Glad we sorted that out, eh Liberal-Left.

Blah Blah Blah.....right-wing talking points and nothing more.


Why can't you guys just allow people to live their lives without you sticking your nose into things and telling people how YOU want them to live their lives?

Its really not that difficult. You live your life and let others live theres.
 
Do you dislike Homosexuals Public?

Depends which ones. If they're the ones in the majority, not behaving in the manner outlined, then no.

Coming from the liberal side of the fence, that's rich.

I have no power over anybdy's life. I just speak my mind. But apparently that's usually enough to earn a dissenter a roasting, so blaze away boy. Blaze away.

What you guys fail to understand and/or appreciate is that....yes absolutely you have a right to speak your mind, but your right to speak your mind ends when it comes to individuals private and personal lives.
