You don't need to be 'straight' to fight and die for your country. You just need to shoot straight. Joel Send a noteboard - 27/07/2017 10:14:11 PM

Barry Goldwater, ca. 1995.

Congrats on making the same slippery slope argument so often employed against gay marriage; I think that qualifies you for honorary Moral Majority membership. Regardless, many LGBTQ people have told me (and probably you also) that that abbreviation is valid grammatically and logically (even if looks like a bar and grill order.)

Thoughts on the internet outrage over Trump's transgenders in the military announcement damookster - 26/07/2017 05:42:34 PM 854 Views
Maybe because.... Jeordam - 26/07/2017 06:08:16 PM 411 Views
I get that damookster - 26/07/2017 06:12:35 PM 411 Views
I don't think that your reasoning is flawed.... Jeordam - 26/07/2017 06:31:06 PM 469 Views
bottom line damookster - 26/07/2017 06:40:36 PM 427 Views
*shrug* Jeordam - 26/07/2017 07:05:17 PM 382 Views
I dare say a lot of the rhetoric is seriously over the top... Legolas - 26/07/2017 06:13:59 PM 416 Views
like I replied to Jeo, I don't see this as a betrayal of the LGBT cause damookster - 26/07/2017 06:19:01 PM 446 Views
LGB is not the same as T. We need to stop treating it all the same. Tom - 26/07/2017 06:58:05 PM 414 Views
No the least of which... Jeordam - 26/07/2017 07:06:21 PM 461 Views
Physical mutilation is a more appropriate word. Tom - 26/07/2017 07:07:33 PM 413 Views
You're correct.... Jeordam - 26/07/2017 09:28:20 PM 399 Views
Not always, keep that in mind. Legolas - 26/07/2017 07:35:34 PM 424 Views
I would still consider that.... Jeordam - 26/07/2017 09:02:36 PM 435 Views
John McCain is the Left's favorite RINO Tom - 26/07/2017 08:09:41 PM 458 Views
He's not a RINO. Just built his career on being independent-minded. Legolas - 26/07/2017 09:49:32 PM 459 Views
I really don't see the independence. Where is it? Tom - 27/07/2017 01:33:27 AM 412 Views
So which is it, is he a RINO or a faithful Republican foot soldier? Legolas - 27/07/2017 08:08:04 PM 456 Views
RINOs are a pack. Tom - 28/07/2017 12:46:44 AM 419 Views
Agreed with McCain The Shrike - 27/07/2017 03:35:06 PM 423 Views
It makes eminent sense why trannies shouldn't be allowed. Tom - 26/07/2017 06:57:00 PM 431 Views
I tried to keep my points to the logic of excluding an 18 yr old trans person damookster - 26/07/2017 07:16:37 PM 471 Views
I don't have any desire to stop people from doing it Tom - 26/07/2017 07:32:08 PM 405 Views
I agree damookster - 26/07/2017 07:59:18 PM 485 Views
Absolutely agree on all counts *NM* Cannoli - 27/07/2017 06:40:03 AM 234 Views
You don't need to be 'straight' to fight and die for your country. You just need to shoot straight. Joel - 27/07/2017 10:14:11 PM 408 Views
You're an idiot. *NM* Tom - 28/07/2017 12:47:21 AM 241 Views
You also need to pass some sort of physical standards Cannoli - 28/07/2017 03:52:14 AM 444 Views
So I was reading.... Jeordam - 26/07/2017 09:07:11 PM 429 Views
This is part of my point Tom - 26/07/2017 09:47:39 PM 428 Views
The rate goes down significantly after transition. Ghavrel - 26/07/2017 11:24:50 PM 413 Views
Bullshit. Tom - 27/07/2017 01:40:05 AM 528 Views
I also like that study because it uses correct terminology: transsexual, sex-reassigned. Tom - 27/07/2017 01:42:19 AM 434 Views
Gender has had a non-grammatical meaning since the 1950s, and you know it. Ghavrel - 27/07/2017 03:05:09 AM 416 Views
And people misuse the subjunctive all the time. Your point? Tom - 27/07/2017 04:57:19 AM 410 Views
Re: And people misuse the subjunctive all the time. Your point? Ghavrel - 27/07/2017 02:13:57 PM 418 Views
That's not necessarily a biological difference Tom - 27/07/2017 05:03:30 PM 455 Views
or liposuction or laser fat removal too. *NM* damookster - 27/07/2017 05:06:56 PM 253 Views
Facelifts, tummy tucks, collagen implants, nose jobs... *NM* Tom - 27/07/2017 05:09:01 PM 234 Views
Not bullshit. The rate decreases. It is still elevated relative to the general population. Ghavrel - 27/07/2017 03:00:15 AM 430 Views
"transition is the cure" Tom - 27/07/2017 04:50:11 AM 421 Views
Sloppy wording on my part. Transition is currently the most effective known cure. Ghavrel - 27/07/2017 02:18:41 PM 428 Views
Yes, but that just argues against transsexuals in the military either way Tom - 27/07/2017 05:04:39 PM 385 Views
Yes, and I don't feel particularly strongly about the current fiasco for that reason. Ghavrel - 27/07/2017 05:51:29 PM 404 Views
Yes, I am waiting for one of our veterans to weigh in with their thoughts. *NM* damookster - 27/07/2017 06:13:19 PM 222 Views
For what it's worth.... Jeordam - 28/07/2017 10:36:22 PM 444 Views
I have a friend who was an officer in the army who feels the same way. Ghavrel - 29/07/2017 12:37:48 AM 407 Views
which should then close the debate on the original question damookster - 27/07/2017 05:07:34 AM 438 Views
Exactly. *NM* Tom - 27/07/2017 01:26:48 PM 247 Views
Well, to the extent that it covers people with dysphoria, sure. Ghavrel - 27/07/2017 02:26:26 PM 389 Views
As I said above, Viagra treats a dysfunction Tom - 27/07/2017 05:08:19 PM 425 Views
also, to a point you made earlier damookster - 27/07/2017 05:39:32 PM 380 Views
Well, that's an argument for not putting them in roles where they can be captured, sure. Ghavrel - 27/07/2017 05:53:02 PM 393 Views
The argument is that transition corrects the dysfunction of gender dysphoria. Ghavrel - 27/07/2017 05:49:24 PM 367 Views
So let me understand your position correctly via asking a few questions Roland00 - 28/07/2017 04:01:50 AM 439 Views
Too long Tom - 28/07/2017 01:54:11 PM 419 Views
The main reason for the post was the standard you created Roland00 - 28/07/2017 05:00:27 PM 392 Views
Reductio ad absurdum, Roland? damookster - 28/07/2017 05:29:23 PM 399 Views
I know Tom and Cannoli don't care, but on the off chance that you do... Ghavrel - 29/07/2017 12:39:16 AM 415 Views
I didn't realize that damookster - 29/07/2017 01:10:30 AM 369 Views
Also trivia Roland00 - 29/07/2017 01:22:37 AM 377 Views
No worries. I'm not offended. I just thought you might want to know. *NM* Ghavrel - 29/07/2017 02:32:01 AM 211 Views
Thanks damookster - 29/07/2017 03:25:08 AM 372 Views
I don't? *NM* Cannoli - 29/07/2017 08:23:14 AM 242 Views
Yeah, I really don't care. Though I use the term for a different reason. Tom - 29/07/2017 07:12:03 PM 418 Views
So right now let me share the joke that is happening in my mind Roland00 - 29/07/2017 07:28:22 PM 355 Views
Girlfriend Mookie, you are projecting onto me. Roland00 - 29/07/2017 01:17:47 AM 433 Views
I absolutely respect you, Roland/Matt damookster - 29/07/2017 01:40:28 AM 352 Views
We are cool Roland00 - 29/07/2017 02:36:00 AM 413 Views
Blah blah blah and now I am showing off like an asshole Roland00 - 29/07/2017 02:52:48 AM 386 Views
you're a nice guy, Roland00 damookster - 29/07/2017 03:22:15 AM 397 Views
OMG mookie gave me the Nice Guy speech / Good Guy speech Roland00 - 29/07/2017 07:41:23 PM 346 Views
I've never seen Newsroom damookster - 29/07/2017 08:00:38 PM 385 Views
Teases I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog too! Roland00 - 29/07/2017 09:13:30 PM 380 Views
Nah, I'm not that subtle. damookster - 29/07/2017 11:01:39 PM 350 Views
Edit: Double Posted due to bad wifi *NM* Roland00 - 28/07/2017 04:01:51 AM 210 Views
Serving its end: As long as everyone argues over this, no one talks about Trumpcare nor Russiagate Joel - 27/07/2017 10:05:00 PM 370 Views
What's horrible is the portmandu with -gate......Can we just let that one go yet? *NM* Jeordam - 27/07/2017 10:51:20 PM 199 Views
Joel, seriously damookster - 29/07/2017 08:33:14 PM 410 Views
No the real boogeymen are the ones we do not see with our eyes, but are still lurking in the shadows Roland00 - 29/07/2017 09:16:34 PM 349 Views
And Rejoice Roland00 - 29/07/2017 09:17:42 PM 386 Views
You are mixing up your metaphors, it is sleight of hand not sleight of mind Roland00 - 29/07/2017 09:20:17 PM 374 Views
Everybody Is Missing The Mark Here MrFarstrider - 29/07/2017 10:25:04 PM 477 Views
