I am neither for nor against either the Obama or Trump policies as it would be wildly inappropriate for me to question the policy and orders of the civilian chain of command. I am merely providing incite to our enthusiastic elector overlords so that they can continue to make good, but mostly indifferent, decisions once it comes time for less than half of the population to elect my new boss in the White House.

There, that should cover me arse.

Thoughts on the internet outrage over Trump's transgenders in the military announcement damookster - 26/07/2017 05:42:34 PM 938 Views
Maybe because.... Jeordam - 26/07/2017 06:08:16 PM 526 Views
I get that damookster - 26/07/2017 06:12:35 PM 547 Views
I don't think that your reasoning is flawed.... Jeordam - 26/07/2017 06:31:06 PM 595 Views
bottom line damookster - 26/07/2017 06:40:36 PM 557 Views
*shrug* Jeordam - 26/07/2017 07:05:17 PM 512 Views
I dare say a lot of the rhetoric is seriously over the top... Legolas - 26/07/2017 06:13:59 PM 537 Views
like I replied to Jeo, I don't see this as a betrayal of the LGBT cause damookster - 26/07/2017 06:19:01 PM 564 Views
LGB is not the same as T. We need to stop treating it all the same. Tom - 26/07/2017 06:58:05 PM 551 Views
No the least of which... Jeordam - 26/07/2017 07:06:21 PM 575 Views
Physical mutilation is a more appropriate word. Tom - 26/07/2017 07:07:33 PM 528 Views
You're correct.... Jeordam - 26/07/2017 09:28:20 PM 506 Views
Not always, keep that in mind. Legolas - 26/07/2017 07:35:34 PM 538 Views
I would still consider that.... Jeordam - 26/07/2017 09:02:36 PM 564 Views
John McCain is the Left's favorite RINO Tom - 26/07/2017 08:09:41 PM 582 Views
He's not a RINO. Just built his career on being independent-minded. Legolas - 26/07/2017 09:49:32 PM 574 Views
I really don't see the independence. Where is it? Tom - 27/07/2017 01:33:27 AM 534 Views
So which is it, is he a RINO or a faithful Republican foot soldier? Legolas - 27/07/2017 08:08:04 PM 596 Views
RINOs are a pack. Tom - 28/07/2017 12:46:44 AM 527 Views
Agreed with McCain The Shrike - 27/07/2017 03:35:06 PM 538 Views
It makes eminent sense why trannies shouldn't be allowed. Tom - 26/07/2017 06:57:00 PM 549 Views
I tried to keep my points to the logic of excluding an 18 yr old trans person damookster - 26/07/2017 07:16:37 PM 591 Views
I don't have any desire to stop people from doing it Tom - 26/07/2017 07:32:08 PM 518 Views
I agree damookster - 26/07/2017 07:59:18 PM 605 Views
Absolutely agree on all counts *NM* Cannoli - 27/07/2017 06:40:03 AM 285 Views
You don't need to be 'straight' to fight and die for your country. You just need to shoot straight. Joel - 27/07/2017 10:14:11 PM 547 Views
You're an idiot. *NM* Tom - 28/07/2017 12:47:21 AM 289 Views
You also need to pass some sort of physical standards Cannoli - 28/07/2017 03:52:14 AM 562 Views
So I was reading.... Jeordam - 26/07/2017 09:07:11 PM 547 Views
This is part of my point Tom - 26/07/2017 09:47:39 PM 554 Views
The rate goes down significantly after transition. Ghavrel - 26/07/2017 11:24:50 PM 527 Views
Bullshit. Tom - 27/07/2017 01:40:05 AM 620 Views
I also like that study because it uses correct terminology: transsexual, sex-reassigned. Tom - 27/07/2017 01:42:19 AM 568 Views
Gender has had a non-grammatical meaning since the 1950s, and you know it. Ghavrel - 27/07/2017 03:05:09 AM 526 Views
And people misuse the subjunctive all the time. Your point? Tom - 27/07/2017 04:57:19 AM 543 Views
Re: And people misuse the subjunctive all the time. Your point? Ghavrel - 27/07/2017 02:13:57 PM 550 Views
That's not necessarily a biological difference Tom - 27/07/2017 05:03:30 PM 590 Views
or liposuction or laser fat removal too. *NM* damookster - 27/07/2017 05:06:56 PM 305 Views
Facelifts, tummy tucks, collagen implants, nose jobs... *NM* Tom - 27/07/2017 05:09:01 PM 285 Views
Not bullshit. The rate decreases. It is still elevated relative to the general population. Ghavrel - 27/07/2017 03:00:15 AM 552 Views
"transition is the cure" Tom - 27/07/2017 04:50:11 AM 561 Views
Sloppy wording on my part. Transition is currently the most effective known cure. Ghavrel - 27/07/2017 02:18:41 PM 558 Views
Yes, but that just argues against transsexuals in the military either way Tom - 27/07/2017 05:04:39 PM 501 Views
Yes, and I don't feel particularly strongly about the current fiasco for that reason. Ghavrel - 27/07/2017 05:51:29 PM 548 Views
Yes, I am waiting for one of our veterans to weigh in with their thoughts. *NM* damookster - 27/07/2017 06:13:19 PM 281 Views
For what it's worth.... Jeordam - 28/07/2017 10:36:22 PM 585 Views
I have a friend who was an officer in the army who feels the same way. Ghavrel - 29/07/2017 12:37:48 AM 525 Views
which should then close the debate on the original question damookster - 27/07/2017 05:07:34 AM 567 Views
Exactly. *NM* Tom - 27/07/2017 01:26:48 PM 294 Views
Well, to the extent that it covers people with dysphoria, sure. Ghavrel - 27/07/2017 02:26:26 PM 508 Views
As I said above, Viagra treats a dysfunction Tom - 27/07/2017 05:08:19 PM 537 Views
also, to a point you made earlier damookster - 27/07/2017 05:39:32 PM 514 Views
Well, that's an argument for not putting them in roles where they can be captured, sure. Ghavrel - 27/07/2017 05:53:02 PM 510 Views
The argument is that transition corrects the dysfunction of gender dysphoria. Ghavrel - 27/07/2017 05:49:24 PM 503 Views
So let me understand your position correctly via asking a few questions Roland00 - 28/07/2017 04:01:50 AM 565 Views
Too long Tom - 28/07/2017 01:54:11 PM 548 Views
The main reason for the post was the standard you created Roland00 - 28/07/2017 05:00:27 PM 508 Views
Reductio ad absurdum, Roland? damookster - 28/07/2017 05:29:23 PM 509 Views
I know Tom and Cannoli don't care, but on the off chance that you do... Ghavrel - 29/07/2017 12:39:16 AM 557 Views
I didn't realize that damookster - 29/07/2017 01:10:30 AM 488 Views
Also trivia Roland00 - 29/07/2017 01:22:37 AM 467 Views
No worries. I'm not offended. I just thought you might want to know. *NM* Ghavrel - 29/07/2017 02:32:01 AM 264 Views
Thanks damookster - 29/07/2017 03:25:08 AM 491 Views
I don't? *NM* Cannoli - 29/07/2017 08:23:14 AM 297 Views
Yeah, I really don't care. Though I use the term for a different reason. Tom - 29/07/2017 07:12:03 PM 537 Views
So right now let me share the joke that is happening in my mind Roland00 - 29/07/2017 07:28:22 PM 466 Views
Girlfriend Mookie, you are projecting onto me. Roland00 - 29/07/2017 01:17:47 AM 557 Views
I absolutely respect you, Roland/Matt damookster - 29/07/2017 01:40:28 AM 488 Views
We are cool Roland00 - 29/07/2017 02:36:00 AM 540 Views
Blah blah blah and now I am showing off like an asshole Roland00 - 29/07/2017 02:52:48 AM 503 Views

OMG mookie gave me the Nice Guy speech / Good Guy speech Roland00 - 29/07/2017 07:41:23 PM 458 Views
I've never seen Newsroom damookster - 29/07/2017 08:00:38 PM 498 Views
Teases I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog too! Roland00 - 29/07/2017 09:13:30 PM 500 Views
Nah, I'm not that subtle. damookster - 29/07/2017 11:01:39 PM 461 Views
Edit: Double Posted due to bad wifi *NM* Roland00 - 28/07/2017 04:01:51 AM 279 Views
Serving its end: As long as everyone argues over this, no one talks about Trumpcare nor Russiagate Joel - 27/07/2017 10:05:00 PM 496 Views
What's horrible is the portmandu with -gate......Can we just let that one go yet? *NM* Jeordam - 27/07/2017 10:51:20 PM 254 Views
Joel, seriously damookster - 29/07/2017 08:33:14 PM 526 Views
No the real boogeymen are the ones we do not see with our eyes, but are still lurking in the shadows Roland00 - 29/07/2017 09:16:34 PM 454 Views
And Rejoice Roland00 - 29/07/2017 09:17:42 PM 500 Views
