Hmm, you might have a point if you were talking just about NPR, but your generalizations are showing, again. How embarrassing.

Why would they need separate living quarters, anyway? As far as I know, nobody (except Nitrox) is discussing that. The gays are already among them, they're just silent. It's not like suddenly gay people are going to fall out of the sky and there will be NEW problems. They're already there. Anyway, problems be damned. What's right is right.

There are other militaries that either integrate gays openly, or have no policy either way. It's not as big of a problem as you are trying to pretend. And even if it was, oh fucking well. It's a civil rights issue. The cost? Are you kidding me? Would you have complained about the cost of integrating public schools in the 50's? I hope not. I can't believe how much rationalization there is on this issue. It's NOT a complicated issue. It's pretty fucking clear. Desegregate the military. Duh. "WAAAAH. The cost! It's too expensive to live up to our American ideals of freedom and liberty. WAAAAAH!"

right, and don't forget they're also after our precious bodily fluids

Can't we all just get along?

i agree - but wtf, the political reality was made clear in the clinton-era - if you push the gay-thang full-throttle the retard conservatives win - judges are an important part of affecting social change, but ultimately the congress needs to be on board and use the force of law to secure the rights - the popular-will has been growing for gay right for a very long time and i feel like the breaking point is damn near - the secdef wants it gone, the president wants it gone, 90% of the kids i've taught for years now seem to want it gone, the pentagon's about to have it's report on how it will implement the new deal, so it will be soon enough. all that said, if DADT ain't gone by the end of obama's time in office, he deserves the big black mark by his name. Nah, this is a civil rights issue, and as such, it couldn't happen fast enough, imo. Obama resisting this court decision would be like resisting Brown vs. Board of Education back in the 50's.

I'm so disappointed that he's asking the courts to reverse the DADT injunction. AND on top of that, his administration is appealing the U.S. District Court's decision that the "Defense of Marriage Act" is unconstitutional? WTF? Feels like a total betrayal. Fuck You Obama! Just another rich, white guy. Who cut this guy's balls off?

Why can't *I* buy a fucking bomber?????? Every well-armed militia needs fucking stealth bombers and aircraft carriers. How else am I going to fight tyranny???????? Fucking libtard gun control.

We were harassed by a goat on the bailey, she was very aggressive. A hand-full of well-aimed rocks was all it took, although we had to hit her at least a dozen times in the head & face before she left. She was amazingly persistent.

Nah, i think neurosis is more of a utilikilt type of band. That way you can show off all of your cool tribal tattoos, while still looking vaguely celtic.

have you guys settled this issue yet, or does the debate still rage on???

I'm perfectly OK with giving Florida back to the natives. Or the Spanish. Whoever.

Do NOT do this. You will immediately be recognized as a weakling by other riders. Or worse yet, a road weenie.

Public officials should be forced to display sponsorship emblems behind them while on stage, or in commercials, like they do with sponsored athletes. That way, we can see the money behind them. Full transparency, right?

It's a good thing they weren't republican dolphins.

my tide is up

How much does one cost?

are you guys gonna rub tits now?

I did it in September, during a really warm summer, and water was scarce. I would imagine October would be even drier? I'd bring 3 bottles. Regarding bears, just assume they're everywhere, cause they prob will be. I think I saw a dozen unique bears, each one at least a dozen times. The berries were ripe. They were almost as common as goats. The goats, btw, are SOBs. Other than water, I think the only other challenge would be coming down the elwha snow finger. it was pretty rotten already when I did it in Sept. so I imagine if any of it is left, it's pretty unstable. You do NOT want to fall through that thing into the river below.

:shudder:
