    Maybe you should learn to use the quote button. Failing that, you can always hit quote for the post to which you were responding, copy the text box, and post it in your old post. I do it all the time, which is why you never see me cross-posted.

        • I seriously don't see what's so wrong abou the statement in the OP.

          A lobby of gay veterans has lobbied. It didn't impact the current policies of Texas. What I see is outrage (the Repugs don't care for our veterans!!1 ) at the fact that veterans couldn't obtain something they wanted after lobbying.

          If there is tomorrow a homophobe veteran association that lobbies Massachussettes so that it bans gay marriage, and if this lobby is turned down, will you guys scream "liberals don't support the troops!!1 " ?

                • It suggests you've got taste, which suggests you're gay. Duh!

                      I am well stocked with good French wines and both French and non-French cheeses. Not to mention tons of Orangina.

                      Vive la France!

                      • While the best French wine is indeed a mighty thing to behold, the weather there is too unpriductable, and a bad year is just as likely as a good one. Italian wines are almost always better than French, except when France has a great year. This, however, is a recent phenomenon, since Italy didn't have quality appelations until the 80s.

                          Because what gay veterans would like to have is equal rights.



                          Homophobic veterans are not asking for equal rights.
                          A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.

                            Yeah, because I have never used it in the past because I never knew about this feature, right?

                              So, basically, the reason why you agree with them is because you agree with their cause, NOT because they're veterans.

                              I agree with their cause too. But I don't think their status as veterans gives them any special right of being more listened to than any other citizen.

                              The "Conservatives don't support the troops!!1" argument is off-topic at best. At worst, it's an emotional manipulation, as it surfs on America's pro-military mentality to get a message across.

                                Things are changing. Our wine industry is taking steps to produce a homogeneous taste every year.
