butt they are now allowed to pin this one up...

They’re going to have to edit the nose art of the Enola Gay.

They’ll have to take off the “Enola.”

There are a couple of extra rivets on that fuselage.

Or rename it the Enola GLBT.

The male retina is programmed to notice asperities.

The female retina is programmed to....well, something else, I’m sure.

I would suggest swinging hips have more to do with assaults than pin ups.

..pix of fags in drag ok. but no nekkid females.

They just want to hide the difference.

Having my wife of over 25 years move out, has caused my eyes to now notice things a bit differently also.

I always loved the Mad Magazine response:

“That IS my mom, sir.”

[Wilum]

In my time I thought this was standard issue!

More women in the military would not have anything to do with it would it? After all the assault is not on pictures.

“In that case, I just hope that anyone, regardless of their sexual preference, displays some common sense in courtesy and decency. If the military doesn’t want guys having implied homosexual media displays on the walls, why shouldn’t it also be strict on overt heterosexuality too?”

Because the former involves sexual deviance while the latter does not.

In Houston the lesbian mayor imposed a “rape kit tax” to go to a near-topless bar (the women can’t even show nipples anymore but during the city’s gay pride parade, ANYTHING GOES).

[a fool in paradise]

What are they going to do when reported incidents of homosexual harassment of heterosexuals (or even rape) incidents rise?

One of the issues I have with war, especially Afghanistan, is the fact that you have a long drawn-out conflict. Problems happen inevitably with our own soldiers and the civilians in the occupied areas, but the best I can figure is getting victory declared at some point, but then again, 12 years, and several promises and delays in ending this occupation by the current administration alone, haven’t made much seem too hopeful.

[Morpheus2009]

Sounds a little rediculous. Isn’t there an entrance fee to enter a strip club anyways?

[a fool in paradise]

You have naked traitors who LIED TO CONGRESS IN A TIME OF WAR TO AID THE ENEMY ARMY being talked up for a cabinet position in the next administration.

This certainly isn’t the America of old. This is the 1968 Communist revolutionary red diaper doper babies grown older but not wiser.
