Active Duty People: DADT?

[Seaweedpimp]

I think the real question is why hasbinbad as abandoned his shitty guild just like 50 % of thier population.

Careful there Tommy..

It's funny that a lot of the people that characterize the military as racist, homophobic, and ignorant are in so doing engaged in the process of mass-generalization. Something to think about.

PS: DADTDP was a retarded policy that reflected the fact that everyone realized gay people could serve equally well in the military, but nobody really wanted to deal with the idea of gay people joining the military. At least with good, old fashioned bigotry, there was skepticism over the capabilities of the persecuted. DADT was pretty much a policy of "fine, you're equal, but ewwww".

My history in boot camp, when talking about DADT, DI's would say that they wouldn't want a faggot behind them in battle, then they would have to watch out for the enemy and the queer behind them.

Haha, this.

And the repeal of DADT doesn't mean shit, homosexuals still will be looked upon by some as lesser than heterosexuals, and you're an idiot if you think bigotry and prejudice is restricted to only our military or this country.

I don't give a fuck about the opinion of a bigot. I do give a fuck about being legally discriminated against. You are fucking stupid if you don't see a difference between the two.

I think it's hilarious that people feel like the US is somehow the world leader in bigotry and discrimination. I don't have a single white american citizen friend that is half as racist or bigoted as the least racist of my foreign friends (and I live in fucking Texas so that is saying something). Fuck I have Mexican and South American friends who flat out HATE people from other nearby countries. And they look the fucking same! (Go ask anyone actually FROM Mexico how they feel about people from El Salvador) The only exception being a Russian lady I know but she is over the top nice anyway.

I am not saying there aren't crazy backward fucked up people, and I am not saying that some of these people aren't exceptionally vocal and I will never deny that they make us all look terrible... I am just saying "IT'S NOT JUST US".

As for migrating to other countries. Having a useful and desirable skill and no communicable diseases makes this pretty much a non-issue. I have no college degree and I am willing to wager I could migrate just about anywhere based solely on having 15+ years of experience as a network admin/engineer. Obviously that doesn't apply to someone just out of college but I wouldn't really say it's impossible. And you can always join the fucking peace corps. It's what all the cool kids who have useless degrees and no are doing. I have a few friends who did this for a while and taught English in the phillipines and whatnot. Or are you saying you want to go somewhere more developed?
