May 19, 2005WASHINGTON - Women in the military would be barred from serving in direct ground combat roles, under a House bill that sets Defense Department policy and spending plans for the upcoming budget year.
The House Armed Services Committee approved the overall measure early Thursday on a 61-1 vote.
I am not sexist. I am not chauvinist. I am arrogant, but then aren’t we all to a point? I believe a man should hold the door for a woman, stand up when she leaves the table and when walking as a couple, walk on the side closest to the street. Are these antiquated values? Probably. I know that women in the military are capable of doing their job, but I definitely believe that a man should die for his country before a woman.
I have spent most of the day going through scrapped computers trying to build one usable one. None of the motherboards were any good and the cases left a lot to be desired. I did, however come of the deal with three usable processors and six CD drives.
I saw this on Tempis Fugit:
I have to say, it gets a bit tiring having to explain the concept of “just walk away” so many times. Unless we’re talking about something that is a crime, most issues can be handled by a simple “Don’t like it? Don’t shop/go/look/buy there.”
Don’t like gay marriage? Don’t attend any.
Don’t like Wal-Mart or Starbucks? Don’t shop there or work there.
Don’t like violence on TV? Don’t watch TV.
Don’t like pornographic magazines? Don’t look at them.
Don’t like companies who make large profits? Don’t purchase their products or services.
There is no “right to remain unoffended.” Screw you and your sensibilities. Freedom trumps your feelings every time. We need less regulation, not more. We need more freedom, not less.
And just think about this, O protectors of America: If enough people just walk away, these offensive people/places/things will cease to be. I believe this to be the very principle that our country was founded on.
We have a right and obligation to stand up for what we believe to be right. However, we do not have a right to force our views on others. At times, it may be a fine line between our social obligation and forcing our morals on others, but that is the line we must walk.
It seems that a woman from Bethesda, Maryland has developed a line of greeting cards developed specifically for those in extramarital affairs.
“They’re still going to get gifts for their lovers, they’re still going to e-mail them,” she said. “Some people won’t buy them because they want to be really careful, but some people will. People in affairs let their emotions take over.”
These cards are promoting an action that is immoral. You are setting an example that is offensive to the majority of us that are faithful to our spouses. It is a bad example. Could you imagine Little Johnny in the greeting card aisle asking Mommy why he can’t tell Daddy about the cards they bought? Or what about the young couple that has a fight and is looking for a card to say, “I’m sorry.” Not So Little Johnny goes through the card aisle, sees a card for another lover, and thinks to himself, “If they make cards for it, I guess I would be alright for me.”
Moral obligations aside, these cards are still condoning an an action that is also illegal. What is next, “Happy first Breaking and Entering.” or how about “I’m sorry Mom, but it’s just pot.”
My point is this: Is this lack of integrity, moral responsibility and honor a symptom of what is wrong with the direction of society or the cause?
