Wolfpack - Thanks for standing up for what is right - That LGBT (sounds like a sandwich) is really just abuse of human sexuality. So is using females as pieces of meat. The fine gift of human sexuality is really a gift of self to another. A beautiful encounter that can produce life. Now if we think that the military will act honorably, none of the abuses stated should be allowed as a good thing. They are not honorable but can happen and should be private. Should those who abuse their and others sexuality be kicked out of the military? Probably not because youth will be youth. Maybe that is all that is happening here.
However, why good people are fooled into saying it is a civil rights issue is beyond me because it is really evident, before our eyes, that that behavior is an abomination. It is similar to the abortion debate where it is also evident that a human being is involved and some people cannot see that. I do think that most in society are tolerant, including yourself, but are afraid of the mass delusion that this behavior is normal and something worth teaching our children to emulate. Would we stand up to defend our children and will we be put into prison for it? Will freedom of religion, speech and press be curtailed to stop "hate" speech? I do not know but one thing is certain is that nature will not be mocked.

Wolfpack is entirely correct... Now for the benefits. Hmm maybe some military members could take an umemployed person to live with them. Civil union can be platonic as well. More people could eat and have health care. Why not group unions? Imagine one joins the military and is open about his very close group be it platonic or not. Having more than one wife is a possibility as well. HIV health care AIDs. Many will join just for the health care for the other HIV positive partner. Cannot blame them. Many straight folks should and do do the same for their spouse and family. In any event the human heart does point to the natural moral order with mercy and compassion as life teaches us. We all fail at times and must deal with our own weaknesses. Morality cannot be legislated anyway. We will be OK. All of us.

I wonder what will leaked regarding the banks. Was it such a threat what he released? Not really. The bank stuff will most likely be babble as well. Coward? I do not think so.

Of course, Saint Nicholas or Santa Claus was a real person who gave of his time, talent and treasure to others. Good role model.

There is a reason the concept of rights developed in the West (China's view of rights differs from ours). The dignity of the individual created in God's image. We have rights by our being human, from conception to death. But we are drifting from this basic premise and innocent lives are being lost on one end, and perhaps in the not to distance future, the other end will be deemed as non productive and not of much use. Without a sense of a moral order we have the morality of those who can sway public opinion. This is not always in the best interests of the moral order.
BTW we are not obliged to follow laws that go against the moral order in the military nor in society. This is written in our hearts, as the poster above pointed out in the statement that one can be moral without religion. I might add as long as one does not have an erring conscience.

Pretty complex stuff. Who owns the debt? Pension funds? Insurance funds? What happens if the investors are forced to take a lose? Will chaos reign and a leader emerge? I hope a good leader does this time around. God knows we need one who is just, wise and compassionate.

Sad it has come to this. However, maybe they know something we do not. Why not put things where the sun don't shine? Even put something in the body. Plastic ... we may not have a choice for safety.

Short sighted. Only the rich will have the education and good jobs. Shame on the Torys for this. It is slavery by keeping the poor poor by not giving opportunity. Cleo has the right perspective. Why cannot the conservative politicians be just, for the less well off children? I myself am a "social conservative". We must organize but keep a moral perspective. I would rather pissoff the bankers of the debt than to bring my country into slavery. C'est toute. Out with the debt holders. No more debt. We all need to be forgiven of debt and start again. Yeh the cycle of debt will come again and we then have this forgiveness of debt. About 50 years I think. But think of the power of debt forgiveness allthe way around. Beautiful. Money for schools. New business. Food.

It saddens my heart to read this. People petitioning God for help and getting killed and mained. God forbid. In the end there are four things. Death, Judgment, heaven and hell. Those responsible have some answering to do. They may be in for a surprise. Hell.

Tongue in cheek: Just take the islands and claim the Sakhalin peninsula as well. Historically they both could be under Japanese dominion. In the end give back the sakhalin peninsula and all would be happy. Better, negotiate the use of the resourses and let freedom reign for the people of both countries. A free zone.

A compassionate conservative. Does it exist? That is what I hope the people in power do, be it Democrats or Republicans. Can hardly tell the difference between the two. I think that we should just get some good hearted older people in there that just make good decisions because they are just good. By the way, that is a definition of a Christian regardless of religion.

I think that one should serve regardless of whatever. There is a natural law over and above all others. One is to give dignity and respect to all people. However, our fragile human nature, when it errors, should never be enshrined as something desireable. Let it be that each one handle his own failings. DADT policy works and should not be over turned. I think that this is common sense. When there is no moral compass, things fall apart. There are many many traditional people in America, from all backgrounds, who support the natural law. Look, we were created male and female. It is self evident. But, let me repeat, ALL should be treated with dignity and respect. We are all children of God.

Truth is inexhaustable. Meaning, everyone has a right to explain things as they see it. Through dialog with others we can actually help each other to walk towards the light. We must listen to each other. No one has a monopoly on truth. Truth exists and this gentleman has found a path. A bit myoptic perhaps but he is on a secure path if he remains open to others. Unfortunately, some use the Bible as blinders and fail to see that reason is here for a purpose. A cosmic event includes the cosmos and Shindo may be awed by this fact. Logos is reason and the reason is love. Peace.
