Homosexuality.

He wasn't forcing his homosexuality on anyone. Is it wrong to defend your beliefs around here now? It's not his fault there are so many ignorant and uneducated people responding here.

 

I don't think it should be a problem to be honest, we're living in a society which is gradually becoming more acceptable to different cultures and habits, for example Tattoos. As less as five years ago people would be shunned and labelled in a way which opposed the normal society, but in more recent times people are covered in them.

As for the gay marriage topic, I don't see why that's a problem also, if I'm not mistaken it's illegal in some states/countries? As I said we're living in a more accepting society so I don't understand why it isn't legal everywhere, yet.

Anybody should have the right to defend their country regardless of their sexuality. If the army allows ignorant people to judge people based on the sole factor of their sexual orientation they they don't have enough common sense or maturity to serve their country, in my opinion.

 

Ad hominem remarks are perfectly suitable methods of debate... ... If you want a flawed and fallacious argument.

And dear Finnigans,
Homosexuality goes against the laws of nature. If was intended to be so, then humans would be able to reproduce homosexually. Don't try to tell me that, "its a natural thing." If you look at nature you would never see two male bears humping each other. A sexual union between a MAN and a WOMAN is the only natural way for humans to reproduce.

 

You're quite ignorant then. Homosexuality is present in animals/nature, and has been for quite a while. You arguments aren't very effective when you're wrong, you know. And as far as I'm concerned, it IS a planned part of nature. Population control.

 

No problem, don't take it personal though... I tend to ignore all scammers

 

So if someone's ideals contrast with your ideals he/she is now ignorant? The sexual orientation factor is NOT a null point. Understandably, one may feel uncomfortable with homosexuals and might create a note of disharmony.

Common sense and maturity are hardly relevant.

 

Okay.. Everyone to include Finn raise your hands if you have real world experience with gays on the battlefield.. Okay, that is what I thought..

There are numerous incidents from both combat and non-combat situations reference gays impacting the infantry fight and unit operations. This is why the US military is changing the direction reference gays due to ground truth and review of these incidents which have actually resulted in loss of life. In short, yes gays typically are less aggressive and too sensitive for stressful battlefield conditions. Argue all you want, I've seen it with my own eyes.

 

Gay man should act like everyone ... like you said i have no problem with gay as long as they arent running in the street wearing some stupid rainbow clothes lol
and to be honest i never wanna see man / kissing / loving , i don't mind if they are gay but i don'T want to see any gayness ...

 

Person X claims Y. Person X has done bad thing Z. Therefore, Y is false.

If your goal is to ignore reasoned arguments due to your blind acceptance of a position, then this clearly isn't the section for you.

If somebody is too timid for fighting, they shouldn't be fighting. I don't disagree with this, but why shouldn't this be dealt with on a purely individual basis? If a homosexual male is completely able to fight, why should he be prevented from doing so simply because homosexual males have a statistical tendency to be worse fighters (even if we assume that this is true)? The same can be said for women, if a woman is able to fight, let her fight. Placing people in arbitrary groups does not serve a useful purpose for rating people's ability to engage in combat; every individual should be assigned a task according to their own talent.

 

Marriage - No problem, I think it's completely ok for a gay couple to get married.

Military - I think they should have the right to fight for a country if they want to. However, I agree with what somebody posted before about them having to sleep in the same room as straight guys. Maybe they should have separate rooms for gays?

 

Talk to your Congressman.. A decision has already been made reference Gays in the military.

As per the "reasoned argument", please post your real world experience concerning the topic of my post; Gays in the military? Are you Gay? Are you a Gay soldier? Are you or have you ever been a soldier? Then please explain to me how you would even consider to understand the issues and/or impacts? Thanks for your well informed post..

 

In the military: Gay people can be as strong as you or me. Their sexual preferences does not affects their physical capabilities in any way. Why would an army not let them join? They can be excellent soldiers.
Marriage? I support it. Its up to everyone to do what they want. No one should interfere with others love in any way, even if its man-man, woman-man or woman-woman.

Every human being, no matter what sexual preferences, skin color, or what they think, they all still have the same rights.

 

I hear this same line all the time.. However, imagine yourself in a combat theater with Finn during contact? I use Finn as an example of the typically drama queen who recently posted an image of himself pole dancing. These are the gay public acts that impact much of the reasons why gays are looked down upon. Once you find yourself in that situation, you'll quickly change your point of view. You see this is what this is really all about.. 90% of the comments in this section come from kids who have yet to even understand/experience the "real" world they live in.. Oh yes, I know.. Once you hit 13 you think you know it all. Your first year of college your ready to change the world. Fact is, this subject of gays in the military is something you have no experience and/or "real" knowledge on. A decision was made reference gays in the military for a reason.. Research that and then come back to tap out a few lines from Google.

 

My step sister is gay and she did fine for 18 months in Afghanistan/Iraq....just noting that. Carry on.

 

Great.. What is her military profession?

 

I understand this, but he asked for my opinion, not to do a complete research.

Edit: I hit 13 a while ago.

 

Military police

 

I'm VERY up to date on the current tasks assigned to MPs here in Afghanistan.. I'm sure her service was great and I do thank her.

My comments reference this thread are directed toward the experience I have with gays serving in combat focused military units..

 

She has since left the military for college, however she is a no bs not so nice cuddly cuddly person ether. I don't try to push her buttons at all either.

No worries Spyike.

 

Understand.. but don't we agree that opinions should be somewhat educated on the subject your providing input on? Trust me, you'll never see me in here posting on a barbie doll thread..
