That’s not fair. All women ask for it. Implicitly, I mean. If women didn’t want to get raped, they wouldn’t have a hole a guy could stick his thingy into.

So I’m sitting here, quietly reading this thread while my boyfriend tends to the fire. I click your link. I start giggling. Suddenly, and without warning, my boyfriend starts prancing about and chanting with along with the video. He finishes the routine and calmly goes back to tending his fire as I sit here like this -----\> :eek:😕😃

That is some serious geek cred. I can’t stream video to this computer, but I know from the title what it must be. Couldn’t accurately prance around to it though; I forget what comes after “I’ll scratch your eyes out”.

So our armed forces will be completely ineffective due to massive orgies on the battlefield.

But at least they’ll look faaabulous in those adorable pink camo bdu’s.

He is a serious geek but he wasn’t THAT good. He missed some steps but he did know most of the words. The fact that he knew any of the movements shocked the hell out of me though. The closest this man has come to anything resembling dancing was when he did the chicken dance at his brothers wedding after drinking 3 glasses of Scotch and a half a bottle of wine.

Isn’t this the same asshole who awhile back wrote a column complaining about the Medal of Honor being “feminized,” because all the soldiers who had won it recently did so for saving lives instead of blowing away enemy soldiers?

Yeah, an instrument to measure just how little stock I put in his opinions has yet to be invented.

And judging by that picture on his bio, this guy is just begging to have a conversation with Chris Hansen. I would not be at all surprised to hear about him getting caught hanging with the boys.

[http://action.afa.net/detail.aspx?id=2147486648](http://action.afa.net/detail.aspx?id=2147486648)

Also, no surprise, according to his bio, he has never served a day in the military.

Fuck him.

I hate to break it to you, but your boyfriend is a Monty Python fan. Before we discuss treatment and support-group options, I am obliged by law to advise you that this is the one condition for which physician-assisted suicide is not only legal, but officially encouraged. Very strongly encouraged.

Getting taken over by Canada is what the U.S. needs, frankly. Feel free to light out for the territories, you lot what don’t want to be sivilized.

I had suspected, especially the day after he borrowed my former car and my CD player was playing Monty Python Sings. Luckily for him, I’m a fan too. Actually, we just got his mom a dead parrot t-shirt for Christmas.

Anyone know why Fischer feels that only officers and chaplains will have a problem with gays serving in the military? What happens with the NCO’s and enlisted personnel?

So. Do you have a point? Are you suggesting because some gays are after cheap sex, we should discriminate against all of them? There have been lots of women in the services raped. because some men are not in control, should we not allow all men to join the services? They can not be trusted.  
There are already gays in the services. Have they raped a lot of front line soldiers?

Wow, what a lunatic. So many layers to this. Homos in the army = feminizing. Except, they’re already in the military. And so are women. Shouldn’t women feminize the military too? Well, maybe he’s against that too. What about butch lesbians though? Are they OK? Wait, if the other armies of the world are riddled with gays and are effectively neutered then why do we need a military again?

I wish this weakened American’s ability to fight, but it does the opposite. For some reason there are hundreds of Arabic translators who have sugar in their shoes. This will ever so barely strengthen American’s hegemony, a fact which the Dems could ironically hammer the Pubs with (if there’s anyone still around who cares about the terrah wars, anyway).
