Since when did equal rights equate to lock-step uniformity? Are paper dragons and fireworks on Chinese New Year hypocritical? What about an afro-caribbean man playing steel drums? I never said it did. But the gay rights advocates have gone from demanding tolerance to demanding acceptance and approval. No longer is their cry "We demand the same rights as everyone else", it is now "You will accept our lifestyle and you will like it!"

Nope. The public expression of it, in political/historical context, is special. And honestly, you'd have to be deliberately obtuse to argue otherwise. Your move Socially, they should be treated the same. And when recognition of that is enshrined in law... it's a special moment. Of course they should be treated the same. But as long as they focus on their differences, they never will be. Uh, OK. But what about the conversation we were having? What about it?

I call bullshit. Show me one billionaire, or millionaire, who can get things done without help from many other people. No man is an island, regardless of wealth.

3) They weren't asleep during the 14 years of DADT, and/or the entirety of US miltary history prior to DADT. 4) They're aware of the considerable amount of fuss raised on both sides during the events that led up to these particular people sharing this particular kiss and think it noce to see that all that fuss wasn't in vain (for the right side, at least). 5) Freedom makes them happy, and photogenic depictions of new freedoms being enjoyed are therefore a good thing. Ok, so you are going with #2, that their relationship is somehow special. Hmmm...that goes against what you've claimed in the past. You've always said that same sex relationships are no different than hetero relationships. Make up your mind.

I didn't mention DADT. I just want to know what all the fuss is about over two people kissing. There are only two reasons anyone would make such a fuss: 1) They are uncomfortable with same sex relationships. 2) They feel same sex relationships are somehow special.

No, your father is not that unusual. Just spoke with my father on the phone. He's being doped up beyond belief for 25 years now, due to a work accident. Finally got "committed" to a hospital. Cleaned out his system, and his a different person now. Doctors will kill you, if you let them. How dare you speak out against the Gods in Human Form! Doctors never make mistakes (that they will admit), always know what is best (for their bank account), and never overcharge (their no-limit credit cards).

Then stupidity hit and she signed a contract with that sort of clause in it. That is exactly what my first thoughts were.

A .22 cartridge costs pennies, but it is quite messy. Pumping nitrogen into a room to displace all oxygen would be very cheap, quick, painless, and much less messy.

there's more than one walton kid - and even a 99% inheritance tax would still leave them all with a decent unearned fortune. yet still they whine they want more - and you pander to their whinings... So you don't think a person who has earned, aquired, and saved what was left of their income after the government took what they wanted has any right to say what becomes of that wealth after they die? You think it is ok for the government to tax the shit out of high income people and then take what's left of that already taxed wealth after the person dies? That's just fucked up, dude. Just plain fucked up. Might as well just put all industry under gov control, asign each person a job for life, then the gov can give each person what the gove thinks they need to live on.

Depends on your options there. For the most part you're not supposed to be in the break room for 8 hours. Your DESK however is where you're supposed to be and if somebody within earshot is playing music you don't like or you have to listen to some radio jaw flapper screaming non-sense, then I think it's inevitable that's going to lead to problems. It's just plain rude to begin with. It totally depends on he situation. If it is in an office with multiple conference calls going on...kill it. If it is in a gunshop...you'll get shot or fired for objecting. Campaign HQ for a Democrat? Bad idea. Campaign HQ for a hardcore Republican? Tune it in and rip the knob off. For the most part, though, it's the boss's call. If you don't like his decision you can appeal to his boss...if he has one.
