Gates urges Congress to repeal gay ban now

MELBOURNE, Australia – U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Congress should act quickly, before new members take their seats, to repeal the military's ban on gays serving openly in the military.

He, however, did not sound optimistic that the current Congress would use a brief postelection session to get rid of the law known as "don't ask, don't tell."

"I would like to see the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell" but I'm not sure what the prospects for that are," Gates said Saturday, as he traveled to defense and diplomatic meetings in Australia.

Unless the lame-duck Congress acts, the repeal effort is considered dead for now.

It is a good thread - it’s an undead thread - up for 3 weeks now.

Jim Rob himself has stopped by and warned some trolls to shape up or leave.

One troll - Hemmingway’s Ghost just won’t quit his pro-gay agenda. Because he’s been here since 1998; he is still un-zotted.

Maybe some Viking Kitties can give that thread a sniff or two?

[manc]

are you serious?

[manc]

what was your name before you got banned before troll?

If you had any brains you’d understand that this place is not for your queer sick perverted agenda, obviously you have no life or just too dumb to understand that

[manc]

you can’t be convinced because you signed up with an agenda , a sick agenda at that.

It’s high time you thought about how these sicko’s get off and the think because they get off i such an unnatural sick way they think and you that they should be married and be accepted into a fine institution called the military.

If you can’t see how sick mentally these people are then you need help too.

[manc]

exactly

shame I’m late to the game here but these sicko’s will come back under a different name due to them being sick and having no life.

Trolls are not known for brightness.

Nope. And that one failed big time.

[DJ MacWoW]

Still can’t remember who said it but it’s been recently.

Lone Red Ranger got the zot too.

The best one was what he said about WAW, before his zot:

So far, I haven’t seen where he’s said anything controversial.

Oh that was funny, hahahahahahahaharharharhar.
He's cracking me up, hahahahahaaharharharhar,
oh stop, you're hurting my stomach I'm laughing so hard, hahahahaharharhar...

Someone spiked their latte machine. They're coming out of the woodwork this evening. LOL

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

[GeronL]

Is that a haute Latte or are you just glad to see me?

[GeronL]

I tracked it down. Apparently it was Chile. See THIS LINK. Apparently a lot of people were calling this and other photos a hoax.

[aruanan]

Apparently I used apparently one too many times.

[Arrowhead1952]

You may be right. I just copied and pasted the link to my zot file way back when.

W-AAAAw and lone rumpranger, you’re out of here.
It was nice that you and your imaginary sock puppet boyfriend decided to drop by, sorry you couldn’t stay and chat.
Tell me, are you two bugchasers or gift givers?
