Repeal of DADT Has Passed

[DinoDoc]

The only thing I don't get about this law is the requirement that the Pentagon draft an implementation plan and certify the military is prepared for letting in the Queens. Aren't those the kind of things that should be done before a repeal?

Your answer is pathetic. Would I care if Canadians were suddenly granted the right to serve in the US military? Do I think this would open up a whole new era of Canadian rights in the US?

Oh, also, if Canadians were granted rights normally reserved for Americans, like "can work for American defense agencies/contractors", I think it would give the open up the possibility of reworking other inefficient cross-border restrictions.

Considering that each, is the other’s largest trading partner, creating a more common sense Can-Am border policy, would only be beneficial.

If we're suppose to advocate for civil rights issues that only directly affect ourselves, why did a significant number of white people support the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s?

Oi, I said I supported DADT repeal. I was wondering why you were so indignant and upset about something that never has, never will and never could have affected you.

HALLELUJAH!!!11ONE

Come on guys, of all the social injustices on the planet, this one is pretty minor.

WHICH IS NOT TO SAY IT'S GOOD. IT'S OBVIOUSLY BAD. IT'S ALSO TRIVIAL.

Of course it can. You just have a poor imagination and inability to think why people might have feelings about an issue.

Let's say MrFun could have dated a guy who wanted to be in the army but was obviously out so couldn't enlist, or MrFun could have dated a guy who was in the army but that guy didn't want to be outed and it affected their relationship, or ad infinitum other scenarios.

I understand that, but Fun doesn't seem like a military type anyways. It's hard for me to see Fun being overly supportive of the military even IF they weren't homophobic.

It seems more likely to me that he just wants something to feel victimized about as a homosexual.

"It never has, will, or could affect him..."
"Oh, well I understand it could affect him in countless scenarios...
"But he's so concerned about trivial subject matter..."
"I'm gonna ***** about his opinion more on an internet forum"

I already explained earlier in this thread why I have a passionate interest in this issue; it goes with my interest in civil rights and human rights issues.

Only narcissistic people have the inability to comprehend that people can have an interest in issues that they are not directly affected with.

It is interesting that no one here has answered my question I had earlier. What was the reason that a significant number of white people supported blacks in their civil rights movement of 1950s and 1960s?

[Dauphin]

They had black lovers.

[KrazyHorse]

KH, are you deliberately trying to be an idiot?

No, you ******. However, it's become pretty obvious that you ( along with about 80% of the inhabitants of this thread) are unconsciously so.

[KrazyHorse]

He's making a valid point, but very badly.

I'm actually making it quite well. A little bit of vagueness has brought out the complete irrationality of the large majority of posters. Not that people who are agreeing with me are necessarily exempt from the massive hole in their thought processes I've caused people to expose here

[KrazyHorse]

That's not the point, that's his poor analogy.

My analogy works perfectly for the limited argument it was made in response to. Think it through, son

[MrFun]

They had black lovers.

Right - every single white person who supported the civil rights movement had to have had a black person as a lover.

No it doesn't gramps, you lost your audience.

[MrFun]

I was trying to figure out if KH and Hauldren simply wanted to pee in my thread for sake of trolling or if they're trying to convert more people to the religion of narcissism.
