No wonder our military is fucked up
Our generals are morons.
What a clown. How stupid do you have to be in this day and age to think homosexuality is a matter of “morality”?

Pace is probably one of these guys who thinks that gays make a choice, because he himself must force images of Brad Pitt out of his mind while he’s having sex.

If you use very circular logic, you could make the argument that it is moral. Greeks had vases depiciting it, Socrates was greek, Socratic method can be used to examine morality. It’s a moral issue. BUT, that is very weak thinking, and I think anyone without a political agenda to push could agree that what individuals do in bed has no bearing on them, and love is love is love.

How stupid do you have to be? You may have to define stupid since in a 2005 Roy Morgan survey of 14,000 Australians some 35 percent (including 53% of those aged 65 and over) said they believed homosexuality is immoral. And in a survey of gay and lesbian Australians more than 70% said they had experienced physical abuse, threats of violence or verbal abuse in a public place.
Maybe it’s not the capacity of the brain or the mind that’s the problem - it’s what people choose to apply it to - or not. If it’s ‘making the bible work for me so I can continue to share the traditions/beliefs of my parents’, guess what?
The deeper question is always going to be - “Why do people *wish* to believe what they claim to believe?”

Any wonder SNAFU and FUBAR have military coinage?

And this from a general. I kind of think wars of conquest are immoral. I kind of think rape is immoral, and torture, and stuff like that. You know, all the things our military is busy engaging in while supposedly eschewing “immoral” things like loving someone of the same sex.
The gods of hypocrisy should send a thunderbolt to fry his ass.

This story appeared in The Australian this morning. The point was also made (originally in The Washington Post) that fewer than half the number of gay men and lesbians were discharged from the military according to the absurd and hardly grown-up ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy in 2006 than were discharged in 2001. The numbers have been declining sharply since the beginning of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Pretty bad risk to reward ratio, wouldn’t you say? And an estimated 65,000 men and women taking it.

but australia is so forward-looking; who else could have come up with the ground-breaking anti HIV/aids slogan: ‘don’t get cum up yer bum!’?
