Fine - just keep government out of it and quit turning it into a phobia..

I mean you do realize we used to beat the shit out of people who got out of line back in the day??

It was like "Lord of The Flies" when I was a kid, and I'm not even that old, I'm 30 and this was the late 80's and early 90's.

Kids got their asses kicked when they got out of line and no one gave a shit because that was logical... Now I gotta hear this shit, then other stupid people want the government to do something???

WTF...

I think what I did as a kid worked...

I agree with you, up to the point where you think that singling people out for differences is a good thing. I don't think the Government should do anything to prevent it, or promote it. The Government shouldn't be in the business of singling people out based on their differences, except in logical situations.

Biodiversity makes us a stronger species as a whole. The more different we are from person to person the more chance we will survive as a whole. This is why I think we shouldn't promote the Lord of the Flies mentality, although I think we also shouldn't do the opposite.

What I was trying to do wasn't to argue that the N0H8 movement is right, I mostly believe that they would be for Government intervention, which I am not, but that John McCain is wrong on this one.

Not to say that there aren't arguments that can be made that Homosexuals are generally less fit to serve in the Military. Any man who has had sexual intercourse with another man is 44 times more likely to have HIV. However, I don't think this argument stands on it's own well. There are many more deciding factors on health, which the military does not consider. For instance, Breast cancer is 5-10% more likely in women who have a family history of it, and up to 80% more likely for women with a mutated BRCA 1 or 2 gene.
