I am neither for nor against either the Obama or Trump policies as it would be wildly inappropriate for me to question the policy and orders of the civilian chain of command. I am merely providing incite to our enthusiastic elector overlords so that they can continue to make good, but mostly indifferent, decisions once it comes time for less than half of the population to elect my new boss in the White House.

There, that should cover me arse.

Thoughts on the internet outrage over Trump's transgenders in the military announcement damookster - 26/07/2017 05:42:34 PM 871 Views
Maybe because.... Jeordam - 26/07/2017 06:08:16 PM 426 Views
I get that damookster - 26/07/2017 06:12:35 PM 427 Views
I don't think that your reasoning is flawed.... Jeordam - 26/07/2017 06:31:06 PM 483 Views
bottom line damookster - 26/07/2017 06:40:36 PM 445 Views
*shrug* Jeordam - 26/07/2017 07:05:17 PM 398 Views
I dare say a lot of the rhetoric is seriously over the top... Legolas - 26/07/2017 06:13:59 PM 432 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 466 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 431 Views
No the least of which... Jeordam - 26/07/2017 07:06:21 PM 475 Views
Physical mutilation is a more appropriate word. Tom - 26/07/2017 07:07:33 PM 431 Views
You're correct.... Jeordam - 26/07/2017 09:28:20 PM 413 Views
Not always, keep that in mind. Legolas - 26/07/2017 07:35:34 PM 440 Views
I would still consider that.... Jeordam - 26/07/2017 09:02:36 PM 455 Views
John McCain is the Left's favorite RINO Tom - 26/07/2017 08:09:41 PM 473 Views
He's not a RINO. Just built his career on being independent-minded. Legolas - 26/07/2017 09:49:32 PM 476 Views
I really don't see the independence. Where is it? Tom - 27/07/2017 01:33:27 AM 429 Views
So which is it, is he a RINO or a faithful Republican foot soldier? Legolas - 27/07/2017 08:08:04 PM 471 Views
RINOs are a pack. Tom - 28/07/2017 12:46:44 AM 433 Views
Agreed with McCain The Shrike - 27/07/2017 03:35:06 PM 436 Views
It makes eminent sense why trannies shouldn't be allowed. Tom - 26/07/2017 06:57:00 PM 447 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 484 Views
I don't have any desire to stop people from doing it Tom - 26/07/2017 07:32:08 PM 419 Views
I agree damookster - 26/07/2017 07:59:18 PM 503 Views
Absolutely agree on all counts *NM* Cannoli - 27/07/2017 06:40:03 AM 242 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 423 Views
You're an idiot. *NM* Tom - 28/07/2017 12:47:21 AM 247 Views
You also need to pass some sort of physical standards Cannoli - 28/07/2017 03:52:14 AM 462 Views
So I was reading.... Jeordam - 26/07/2017 09:07:11 PM 450 Views
This is part of my point Tom - 26/07/2017 09:47:39 PM 446 Views
The rate goes down significantly after transition. Ghavrel - 26/07/2017 11:24:50 PM 432 Views
Bullshit. Tom - 27/07/2017 01:40:05 AM 548 Views
I also like that study because it uses correct terminology: transsexual, sex-reassigned. Tom - 27/07/2017 01:42:19 AM 449 Views
Gender has had a non-grammatical meaning since the 1950s, and you know it. Ghavrel - 27/07/2017 03:05:09 AM 430 Views
And people misuse the subjunctive all the time. Your point? Tom - 27/07/2017 04:57:19 AM 424 Views
Re: And people misuse the subjunctive all the time. Your point? Ghavrel - 27/07/2017 02:13:57 PM 438 Views
That's not necessarily a biological difference Tom - 27/07/2017 05:03:30 PM 472 Views
or liposuction or laser fat removal too. *NM* damookster - 27/07/2017 05:06:56 PM 262 Views
Facelifts, tummy tucks, collagen implants, nose jobs... *NM* Tom - 27/07/2017 05:09:01 PM 240 Views
Not bullshit. The rate decreases. It is still elevated relative to the general population. Ghavrel - 27/07/2017 03:00:15 AM 448 Views
"transition is the cure" Tom - 27/07/2017 04:50:11 AM 441 Views
Sloppy wording on my part. Transition is currently the most effective known cure. Ghavrel - 27/07/2017 02:18:41 PM 445 Views
Yes, but that just argues against transsexuals in the military either way Tom - 27/07/2017 05:04:39 PM 400 Views
Yes, and I don't feel particularly strongly about the current fiasco for that reason. Ghavrel - 27/07/2017 05:51:29 PM 425 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 232 Views
For what it's worth.... Jeordam - 28/07/2017 10:36:22 PM 467 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 427 Views
which should then close the debate on the original question damookster - 27/07/2017 05:07:34 AM 457 Views
Exactly. *NM* Tom - 27/07/2017 01:26:48 PM 254 Views
Well, to the extent that it covers people with dysphoria, sure. Ghavrel - 27/07/2017 02:26:26 PM 407 Views
As I said above, Viagra treats a dysfunction Tom - 27/07/2017 05:08:19 PM 441 Views
also, to a point you made earlier damookster - 27/07/2017 05:39:32 PM 396 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 407 Views
The argument is that transition corrects the dysfunction of gender dysphoria. Ghavrel - 27/07/2017 05:49:24 PM 388 Views
So let me understand your position correctly via asking a few questions Roland00 - 28/07/2017 04:01:50 AM 459 Views
Too long Tom - 28/07/2017 01:54:11 PM 438 Views
The main reason for the post was the standard you created Roland00 - 28/07/2017 05:00:27 PM 408 Views
Reductio ad absurdum, Roland? damookster - 28/07/2017 05:29:23 PM 420 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 431 Views
I didn't realize that damookster - 29/07/2017 01:10:30 AM 383 Views
Also trivia Roland00 - 29/07/2017 01:22:37 AM 394 Views
No worries. I'm not offended. I just thought you might want to know. *NM* Ghavrel - 29/07/2017 02:32:01 AM 219 Views
Thanks damookster - 29/07/2017 03:25:08 AM 388 Views
I don't? *NM* Cannoli - 29/07/2017 08:23:14 AM 248 Views
Yeah, I really don't care. Though I use the term for a different reason. Tom - 29/07/2017 07:12:03 PM 435 Views
So right now let me share the joke that is happening in my mind Roland00 - 29/07/2017 07:28:22 PM 372 Views
Girlfriend Mookie, you are projecting onto me. Roland00 - 29/07/2017 01:17:47 AM 449 Views
I absolutely respect you, Roland/Matt damookster - 29/07/2017 01:40:28 AM 367 Views
We are cool Roland00 - 29/07/2017 02:36:00 AM 429 Views
Blah blah blah and now I am showing off like an asshole Roland00 - 29/07/2017 02:52:48 AM 400 Views

OMG mookie gave me the Nice Guy speech / Good Guy speech Roland00 - 29/07/2017 07:41:23 PM 366 Views
I've never seen Newsroom damookster - 29/07/2017 08:00:38 PM 400 Views
Teases I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog too! Roland00 - 29/07/2017 09:13:30 PM 396 Views
Nah, I'm not that subtle. damookster - 29/07/2017 11:01:39 PM 364 Views
Edit: Double Posted due to bad wifi *NM* Roland00 - 28/07/2017 04:01:51 AM 216 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 389 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 205 Views
Joel, seriously damookster - 29/07/2017 08:33:14 PM 429 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 362 Views
And Rejoice Roland00 - 29/07/2017 09:17:42 PM 400 Views
