Seems logical given that a majority of the public wants it ended as well.

Neil, I'll post a lengthy response to the GW thread when I have the chance. I am a bit busy at the moment but drop by to post interesting news items.

What about giving women equal rights too?!?

"Women are not permitted to serve on submarines or to participate in special forces programs such as Navy SEALs. Women enlisted soldiers are barred from serving in Infantry, Special Forces, Artillery and Armor."

I'm not sure where I stand on the issue itself... Yet as a whole I'm optimistic, if they end it that will hopefully lead to a decline in military enrollment, as most soldiers will subsequently have to watch their own backs. All joking aside, many military people I know/have met(my dad has worked for DoD 30+ years) are, ideologically, incredibly conservative.

Queers are bad enough in our society, we definitely don't need them in our military.

Ditch the politics and let them pass the training without any special treatment or favoritism and do the job at hand. easier said than done.. that's not really possible when it comes to people, there are always political motivated people in the chain of command turning the whole process into a personally motivated cluster fuk..

It's simple in theory: you do the training, pass the course and become part of the team and you're in. no bias or prejudice.
It's not so simple in politically motivated people dynamics. that's where it all falls apart. it's not the fact that they can't do the job or dont have the will to do it, it's the people sh1t that causes all the problems.

if it were only as simple as you pass or fail according to your ability to do the job on the team; this would have been a dead issue years ago.

For the religious people.
From the book of Leviticus...
Unlawful Sexual Relations

18 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘I am the Lord your God. 3 You must not do as they do in Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. Do not follow their practices. 4 You must obey my laws and be careful to follow my decrees. I am the Lord your God. 5 Keep my decrees and laws, for the man who obeys them will live by them. I am the Lord.

6 “ ‘No one is to approach any close relative to have sexual relations. I am the Lord.

7 “ ‘Do not dishonor your father by having sexual relations with your mother. She is your mother; do not have relations with her.

8 “ ‘Do not have sexual relations with your father’s wife; that would dishonor your father.

9 “ ‘Do not have sexual relations with your sister, either your father’s daughter or your mother’s daughter, whether she was born in the same home or elsewhere.

10 “ ‘Do not have sexual relations with your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter; that would dishonor you.

11 “ ‘Do not have sexual relations with the daughter of your father’s wife, born to your father; she is your sister.

12 “ ‘Do not have sexual relations with your father’s sister; she is your father’s close relative.

13 “ ‘Do not have sexual relations with your mother’s sister, because she is your mother’s close relative.

14 “ ‘Do not dishonor your father’s brother by approaching his wife to have sexual relations; she is your aunt.

15 “ ‘Do not have sexual relations with your daughter-in-law. She is your son’s wife; do not have relations with her.

16 “ ‘Do not have sexual relations with your brother’s wife; that would dishonor your brother.

17 “ ‘Do not have sexual relations with both a woman and her daughter. Do not have sexual relations with either her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter; they are her close relatives. That is wickedness.

18 “ ‘Do not take your wife’s sister as a rival wife and have sexual relations with her while your wife is living.

19 “ ‘Do not approach a woman to have sexual relations during the uncleanness of her monthly period.

20 “ ‘Do not have sexual relations with your neighbor’s wife and defile yourself with her.

21 “ ‘Do not give any of your children to be sacrificeda to Molech, for you must not profane the name of your God. I am the Lord.

22 “ ‘Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.

23 “ ‘Do not have sexual relations with an animal and defile yourself with it. A woman must not present herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it; that is a perversion.

24 “ ‘Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, because this is how the nations that I am going to drive out before you became defiled. 25 Even the land was defiled; so I punished it for its sin, and the land vomited out its inhabitants. 26 But you must keep my decrees and my laws. The native-born and the aliens living among you must not do any of these detestable things, 27 for all these things were done by the people who lived in the land before you, and the land became defiled. 28 And if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it vomited out the nations that were before you.

29 “ ‘Everyone who does any of these detestable things—such persons must be cut off from their people. 30 Keep my requirements and do not follow any of the detestable customs that were practiced before you came and do not defile yourselves with them. I am the Lord your God.’ ”

I notice you only bolded two of those axioms, deng. I suppose in South Carolina the rest of them are fair game, eh?

Jesus H Christ it's like 1 long instruction manual on who you can't have sex with....what a boner-kill!

I don't believe in any god.... I only post the bible stuff for christian crowd who often support things that their bible says are wrong.

What Christian Crowd?

No one in particular... just people in general who don't practice what they preach....
Like the missionaries who rush to haiti to save the haitians from their god. The ultimate goal is to be with their god, yet these missionaries don't want them there.
