We wouldn't have to fire anyone there because as of this time, transsexuality is considered a disqualifying medical condition. Transsexuals cannot serve in the military in any way, shape or form. That's another problem with the military I'd like to see eliminated, though I don't see it...

That too. That's what we call sexist bigotry. A man can't do that unless he's been properly trained and prepared for it. Women are the same. Men get shellshock and PTSD too. Gender has nothing to do with it. Tests have shown women are much more resistant to higher G-force levels...

Euthanasia is OK in my book...

And yet, they're still not actually allowed into combat, there's a great number of special organisations (Delta Force? The Rangers?) that they're prohibited from serving in, and there's a glass ceiling placed on rank. Then don't support drafting men either. It's that simple.

Yeah. This is 2006. Did you miss 60 years of history? Ever heard of a war called Vietnam? The baby boomers are getting older and Generations X and Y both strongly oppose the idea of a draft. If the draft were reinstituted in this Congress, the Dems would have supermajorities in both houses in...

You do realise your beloved Republicans would be committing political suicide if they reinstituted the draft, right?

What is Hezbollah? One of several terrorist organisations pledging to bring about the destruction of Israel.

I wouldn't agree to there being a draft until they make it so that both men AND women are required to serve. But I don't think the administration is ready to see girls dying in combat yet, so that won't be happening any time soon. As far as I'm concerned, if they're going to want a draft...

The way things are going, there might be another war between Israel and the rest of the Muslim world (again) this year. Whether or not it will be nuclear remains to be seen.

The act of suicide itself isn't any worse than any other intentional murder... The issue is that with another killing, you could in principle repent and be forgiven if your repentance was sincere. With suicide, you're dead, so that option isn't available to you. Jesus didn't commit suicide...

Haven't you seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail? If a woman weighs the same as a duck, she must be a witch.

Asperger syndrome, for example, isn't always a bad thing... Indeed, it can be a very good thing as a lot of the most brilliant people historically probably had asperger. Sir Isaac Newton? Albert Einstein? Bill Gates? My brother is autistic... He goes to a normal school, but he's not "normal"...

He didn't present any documentation of his transistion (besides his obviously masculine appearance and testosterone-affected voice) to the court as he should not be required to do so. If a man can change his name to Superfly Flamboyant or Flavious Flava just because he wants to, a transgender...

(July 12, 2006) — A transgender Rochester man must provide medical evidence to justify his request to change his first name from Sarah to Evan, a local judge has ruled. Allowing Sarah Rockefeller to change his name without evidence "would be fraught with danger of deception and confusion and...

Just a comment in case anyone here decides to decry Israel's actions for some reason: If your next-door neighbour (Canada) were firing rockets and missiles at you unceasingly for the last 20 years and constantly sending suicide bombers across the border to blow themselves up on buses, would...

Oh really? Most scholars would hold that the different Gospels were intended for different audiences, all non-Christians. The Jewish scriptures include the Tanakh (why don't you start using the proper term?), but that is not the only important book in Judaism... The amount of canonical text...

A more pressing question: Was she actually a witch or was it just that she was different and the Christians didn't like that so they falsely accused her?

You have no authority to tell me I can't speak here. Sorry, but I'm under no obligation to stop talking just because you want me to. I will not leave unless I am instructed by a moderator to do so. The fact that I represent an opinion that is different than yours is not in violation of any...

Here's a better idea: Before we do anything about Venezuela, let's do something about the nations that are actually a threat to us. Like, say, Iran or North Korea.

No, I just represent a point of view that you (and the other Christians on this thread) do not know and do not understand. Jew or not, you don't understand the Jewish view. You are brainwashed into thinking that I'm out to lie or confuse people, something that I'm not. As I recall, Jesus did...
