Not to turn it into some kind of pissing match, but the same narrow minded point of view that the one dude showed with his playground comment was countered with the everyone who makes a ridiculous comment is by default a truck driving redneck statement. There are idiots making stupid comments all over the place....

is good to go
I dont think your political background has much to do with having the ship in SF or not. I live in SF and i know for a fact that the city is trying to get the USS hornet which is literally across the bay. They have some old WW2 Sub which is a great attaction. Having to many naval ships in sf would make the city look somewhat crappy. The city is also trying to save as much money as possible for the new niner stadium. Im sorry if i made anyone feel bad for not bad mouthing this great city....

let the people of SF, through their elected government (AKA democracy) decide their opinions....they have a very valid point...the military actively discriminates against people based on sexuality...period. Its wrong. They have a very valid, mainstream opinion. Maybe, just maybe, the military is wrong on this one and they shouldn't be ostricized for having an opinion and voicing it...its called democracy.

So what exactly are we discussing here? The ramifications of the Confederate Flag? Don't ask/Don't Tell (inclusive of Boy/Girl Scouts???)? Internet Ettiquette (sp?)?

im tired of hearing about all this BS. what are we five years old? " You made fun of me during boot camp because I thought ur boots were cute so now im gonna get rid of ur little floating museum"... grow the fvck up... if you have a problem with the military due to anti-homosexuality/descrimination then you seek either monetary compensation or physical change in the ideologies or practices used in the services. USS Iowa museum could have brought a lot of capital to the area and god knows california needs money, another battle won for San Fran, good job guys smoke another bowl.

"Dear Worthless Congress Person, Um I'm tired of paying taxes, Sincerely, Liberal Idiot" --> return letter "Dear Liberal Idiot, Sure no problem whatever you want, just reelect me pretty pretty please? We'll figure out how to get the state money some other time. Sincerely, Worthless Congress Person"

Maybe the new stadium will stop them from sucking, and it is a great city, who cares if there's a bunch of left wing nuts on the city council, I'm sure there are just as many right wing nuts running around in other government positions, i.e. those morons in congress who wanted to change french fries to "freedom fries". Yes, the french suck, but c'mon man :icon_smil

According to your quote the liberal government of San Fran is pissed about a regulation put into power by a liberal president.

YOU WOULD THINK SAN FRAN WOULD BE HAPPY ABOUT "DON'T ASK DON'T TELL".... At least their gay's can serve in the military without having to lie about being a queer!! I don't get what they are so pissed about.

1. The military is not a democracy

2. Remember...the military is ultimately run by civilians. These civilians are the ones who are discriminating, not the military. We are not right or wrong, we just execute the orders given to us by the "discriminators".

This might be a bit harsh, so those that can't handle that, don't read this.

The military's job is to f**king kill people, not be opinionated and oversensitive to fragile little minorities. The military allows any able american citizen, of any race, or creed to serve. This is all it needs to do.

When a military force must succomb to being oversensitive, and use caution and effort to avoid hurting the feelings of unique little snowflakes, it becomes weak.

If you like to kick on your sheepskin loafers, and prance around on your purple carpet, watching richard simmons workout videos, fine. But you might catch a little flak in the military.

As far as the boat... Don't park it in Hawaii.... They already took the Missouri away from me in Bremerton... I say park it in WA :D

Nicely put. That was the first thing I thought of when I read the article. It's not the military's policy - it's the policy instituted by the executive branch, Clinton of all people. My issue with the gays that "come out" while serving is this: Hey, it's an all volunteer force, and you knew to rules coming in, so you've got no leg to stand on legally. Bottom line, keep your sexuality to yourself and carry out the Plan of the Day.

BTW: Squeeze is NOT taking any sh!t these days. I love it! :D

Also in major agreement here.
