<description>I&apos;ll post a much more detailed report on this year&apos;s domestic partnership bill later (it would add 174 rights and obligations to the list domestic partners got last year—leaving 283 to go.) For now, however, I want to flag a fascinating aspect to one set of rights in the bill that spotlights the political calculations of Olympia&apos;s gay leaders. The bill would grant rights to domestic partners of military veterans like access to vet benefits. Here&apos;s the Catch-22. The bill only grants those benefits—like it does for married couples—to partners of honorably discharged vets. Well, lots of gays have been...</description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>A lot are also given less than honorable discharges, or are papered out, so I don't think it'll affect everyone discharged for being gay.  And Pedersen does have a point.  </p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>But, but, but... straight people can't get dishonorably discharged from the military just for being straight.  The chain of logic for an exemption is pretty obvious here.  </p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by Y.F.</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>If they want to be fair, they should go through every reason a person can be "dishonorably discharged" and evaluate them. I'm sure there are more than one reason for being  "dishonorably discharged" from the military that a civilian would find asinine (like gay, for instance). Evaluate each application case by case. I heard recently that soldier's with PTSD are being labeled with a personality disorder so they could be discharged less-than-honorably and robbed of medical benefits. The VA has too many disabled vets and wants to lighten the load.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>In theory, straight men can be dishonorably discharged for eating pussy, or getting a blowjob.  And don't even think about touching or being touched <i>back there</i>.</p>

<p>So Pedersen is probably right.  Let the military work out it's dysfunctional sexual mores and focus on getting state law to be rational.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>80/20 rule.</p>

<p>A clear shot at 80 more rights -- go for it.  Don't get bogged down in 20 others that are problems right now.</p>

<p>(Yes, that greek approximater never got to the turtle, but he got almost there.  in politics it's different; the whole wall just crumbles at a certain point.) </p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>#7 - just plain funny</p>

<p>It is easy to tell you have never been in a largely male Army/Navy. Dear, there is nothing more important than the endless talk about, explaining about, and having fantasy about ----pussy.</p>

<p>All the time, every where, every rank, 24/7. </p>

<p>Get kicked out for eating pussy - get real. Get a medal for upholding red blooded American male traditions.</p>

<p>Remember, if you want to know how many teeth is in the horses mouth, go open it. Conjecture in some cases, even with a good formal education DON'T work.</p>

<p>(Jamie is a smart Cat, who for sure has never eaten pussy - Boy Scout Fag, who fell in love with his first fuck, love him)</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>elenchos is right. The UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice) has prohibitions against sodomy, fellatio, and cunnilingus. It's against the morals of the service or some such bullshit nonsense.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>#10 I tried ...</p>

<p>You are so full of shit.</p>

<p>I was a Navy guy, tall, good looking, very butch, with the best looking ass in the world - and in tailored blues or whites , I got my ass slapped and played with more than in any  gay bar.</p>

<p>Back there, Miss Prissy, is just as interesting as pussy to all the testoserone loaded hormonal guys, lacking a nightly sexual outlet/life.</p>

<p>You have led a sheltered life, elenchos.</p>

<p>Play expert on another topic you know more about, please.</p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by wondering</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>wondering if anyone cares about comments like these regularly posted at 206proof -- <a href="http://www.206proof.com/forum/" rel="nofollow">http://www.206proof.com/forum/</a><br />
hip hop website listed as "friend" of lineout<br />
First, you're a complete fucking faggot, Donut Boy. Do me a favor and go get a neck. P.s. make another t-shirt with a turntable on it, dork. Second, I got fucked with by them bouncers like 5 years ago at a show that Z-trip was playing. It was a Microsoft event ...</p>

<p>... but I'm not. I just think it's homo when people come on here and use fake names... Use your real name. The only reason you would use a fake one is if you were scared of what people think of your comments.. So yeah, BEAST is a fag.. bitch</p>

<p>Hey kub, get off the net and hitthe block with those cds fag boy. :)</p>

<p>as do i damnit *punches dawson for being such a fag*</p>

<p>Go back to the massline boards, you peace loving faggot. Dirtbag...[/</p>

<p>kanye's trouble is that he tends to make sense so the shots directed towards him are generally either manifestations of pure hate or comments on his habit of occasionally dressing like a faggot.</p>

<p>uote][cite] c.attle:[/cite]Seattle is full of pussies! Flower hiphop and emotional bullshit. Stick with what you say and mean it. All you fags talk shit and when a cat gets at you, you fuckin fold. Mean what the fuck you say before ...<br />
