Zebras would not do well in Norway

. . . the stresses of trying to be in two places at one time.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 21, 2010 -> 09:14 AM) Organizations all over this country deal with relationships in the work place. The local Dunder-Mifflin office doesn't have to deal with the same issues soldiers in the field have to deal with. Perhaps only a small group of people believe a military unit in combat is different than organizations all over this country.

I never get tired of watching that replay

Xantan is in China, no Norwegian cities begin with X

I considered it but for $500+ I decided against it. Technology changes, plus they want $75 every time I change radios. I went with the two year option.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 20, 2010 -> 04:57 PM) While it's worth noting that military personnel were polled and also gave that 70% number... If the military believed in 1948 that desegregation would diminish readiness and make a lot of soldiers uncomfortable, would you say that Truman made a mistake by desegregating it? The numbers I heard showed higher support the further from combat you were and reduced to less than 50% for units in combat.

Why don't men and women in the military share the same quarters? Won't every answer to that also apply to two gay men or women, or even more so, a gay couple serving in the same unit? I think these are some of the challenges that the military must prepare for, if that is possible.

We just have to look how racism stopped after slavery was outlawed. To know that gays will be fully accepted. Anyone that thinks being allowed = accepted is being unrealistic. I do agree that people should grow up and it shouldn't be an issue, but it will be.

perhaps it's all the Matthew talk . . .

I believe in all this, one point is being missed, the military is unlike any other work place. There are a few jobs similar, but none quite like life and death while deep in some jungle or a desert. Those that seek to oversimplify the situation, for very good reasons I will add, are doing a disservice to those that serve. Support for gays openly serving starts out very strong for those not in the military, then steadily declines the closer you get to having the enemy shooting at you. At least from the stats I heard last week. Not certain what is all should mean, but we seem to be painting this into a blacker and whiter issue than what it really is. And y'all know what a liberal I am, so I would hope no one paints me out to be some homophobe.

lol, yes, King of Queens also sucks, but King of the Hill is awesome

Jersey Shores is one show I have never watched, and never will

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 18, 2010 -> 12:03 PM) We basically did that...except instead of giving it to every american, we gave it to about 35 guys in Manhattan. It will trickle down to us in no time at all . . .

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Dec 16, 2010 -> 05:54 PM) I'll kinda miss Bobby and I'll hate seeing him in a Red Sox uniform but that's the way it goes. If and when we face him I hope we clobber him but best of luck to him otherwise. ^^ I pretty much dislike all our threads when a player is leaving.

Picked up an onyX for my girlfriend last night. We also bought the home kit. I guess we're at the next phase of our relationship, gifts of coffee makers (Kuerig) and radios. She asked why we needed the home kit, and before I could tell her she saw the channel lineup and said, this is so *we* can listen to the Sox games

for now. btw if I ever go gay, Denzel Washington or Matthew McConaughey would be my style.

. . . I just checked my bank balances

Don't Ask, Don't Tell

Last week I watched Glory five times and the small parallels between the 54th Massachusetts Regiment and this has me wondering, will we be paying gays less than straight soldiers?
