a museum honoring the contributions of gays, lesbians, ethnic minorities and women to the military

Wow, I know how gays and lesbians are similar, but how are they similar to ethnic minorities, and how are they all similar to women?

[wildcatf4f3]

its time to form our own country---the USA is finished as an honorable land.

WTH, is everything about these people penises and anuses.

I don't know. But, size counts.

[concerned about politics]

The left is trying to brainwash the kids in the US public schools by teaching them homosexuals are "normal." From what I've heard the teens say, even the kids know better. "Gay" is slang for "weird, demented, strange, awkward, uncool, disliked, mentally deranged,..."
It's a slam to be referred to as "gay." It's an insult. It's the worst thing one kid can call another. The kids are socially smarter than most people give them credit for.

I'd rather see USS Iowa turned into razor blades than become a gay monument.

Iowa should go the way of the America rather than be turned into a homo monument or cut into razor blades.

[VeniVidiVici]

I still say they should haul this thing to Des Moines and make a high school out of it.

Or just park it off the coast of Venezuela.

My brain is screaming inside my head!

I thought this was Satire, but the link goes to an AP article.

Sheesh!

[beethovenfan]

Hi there thailor!

[Dashing Dasher]

Thought you should know!

FULL THROTTLE BARF ALERT!!!

[KOZ.]

The idea of a museum about the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy regarding gays also may not sit well with Navy officials

ya think?

[KOZ.]

oh, thtop.

[billnaz]

No! Don't let the perverted inhabitants of Sodom-by-the-Sea have anything to say about what happenes to the U.S.S. Iowa! She is a fine ship with a proud history, and she deserves a better fate than being a pick-up spot for faggots!

[Lancey Howard]

Why would the Navy want anything to do with an STD infection like San Fransicko?

[Plutarch]

"You say that I am ignoring the time-honored traditions of the Royal Navy? And what might they be? I shall tell you in three words: rum, buggery and the lash! Good morning, sirs!"

-Winston Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty, addressing the Sea Lords, 1912

Maybe they can include exhibits on rum and the lash as well.

[little jeremiah]

Homosexual Agenda Ping.

Nauseating, utterly nauseating. I fervently hope Stockton gets the ship, San Freaksicko doesn't deserve it. And I would hope that no one in the Navy would authorize such nastiness.

Freepmail me if you want on/off this pinglist.

What about overweight people? I'm sure there have been some sailors that have been a little on the heavy side from time to time. What about red heads, they start suffering from their very first years in school with incessant teasing from their classmates ("hey carrot top!", etc.) Will they be represented too? What about ugly people? Many have served their country honorably. Won't they get some representation?

(sounds of the sea in background)
"Captain, the men haven't eaten in days."
"Yes."
"Captain, the men haven't eaten in DAYS."
"Yes!"
"Captain, do you understand, the MEN haven't EATEN in DAYS!"
"Well, FORCE THEM! You've got plenty of men, haven't you?"
"Yes, sir."
"You have plenty of what?"
"Men, sir."
"WHAT!"
"MEN, SIR!"
"WHAT!!!"
"MEN!"
"MEN!"
"MEN! MEN! MEN! MEN! MEN! MEN!"
(music in)
Men men men men
Men men men men
It's great to be on a ship with men and sail across the sea!
Oh, we don't know where we'll land or when, it's great to be with men!
It's great to be with men!

'Cause men can sweat and men can stink and no one seems to care oh!
THROW the dishes in the sink and clog the drain with hair-o!
(Clog the drain with hair-o!)

Men men men, it's a ship all filled with men!
So batten down the ladies room theres no one here but men!
Men men men, men men men men!

There's men above there's men below there's men down in the galley,
There's Butch! and Buzz! and Spike! and Biff! and one guy we call
Sally.
(And one guy we call Sally.)

Men men men, it's a ship all filled with men,
You'll never have to lift the seat there's no one here but men!
Men men men, men men men men.

We're men and friends until the end and none of us are sissies,
At night we sleep in separate beds and blow each other kissies!
(And blow each other kissies!)

Men men men, it's a ship all filled with men!
So throw your rubbers overboard there's no one here but men!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!--

I served in IOWA as a First Class Midshipman just before receiving my commission in 1953.

My heart aches for where we have come in the past five decades.

(The IOWA Third Division Boatswains in that day would have simply tossed a faggot in their midst over the side in the middle of the night -- and gone about their business -- without ever missing a meal -- or a good brawl.)

...a museum honoring the contributions of gays, lesbians, ethnic minorities and women to the military

If this Naval ship with its proud history is docked in the Bay Area, it will be vandalized and disfigured by the America-haters.

NOT having the ship in the Bay Area is a win/win.

Stockton is a perfect place for this fine old vessel.
