[Dr. Strangelove]

AA- Your tomfoolery is duly noted.

[AlabamAlum]

excellent...

[puterbac]

Maybe its all skulduggery aimed at making people more hesitant to resort to force cause their are chicks in harms way? Raise the bar so high that nothing short of amijinadick and un dum sung thumbing their noses while video of launch buttons being pushed is the thing that could lead to force? And in the end if u ain't gonna use it...cut it?

Eh. Maybe not.

[puterbac]

Btw I got my w2 today and it would appear that opramacare is now forcing companies to report what the cost of health insurance is to the company and employee (aggregate) DD in box 12 is over 15,750 bucks for an 80-20 plan. Sheesh. But why does govt need this info? Is this prepping for calling this all taxable income in the future?

Inquiring minds want to know.

[AlabamAlum]

It's a component of ObamaCare. In 2018, there will be a 40% tax on premium (Cadillac) insurance plans.

[sardis]

Puter, yes, they are discussing eliminating the tax break for medical insurance to help pay for Medicare/ Obamacare.

[10ac]

That's only for the rich, right?

[sardis]

Nope, for all.

[10ac]

You mean he lied?!

"This latest example of liberal social engineering was intended to put more women into combat units."

And how would you characterize the social engineering that has enabled us to maintain a trillion dollar a year standing army and the industrial military complex that supports it? We never had it before WWII, certainly not anything even a tiny fraction of what it is today. And yet the world somehow kept turning. Seriously, how would you characterize the "social engineering" that has, within a few generations, succeeded in convincing the majority of people to not only not question any of the above but to tacitly believe in it and support it? To wit:

"Maybe its all skulduggery aimed at making people more hesitant to resort to force"

Yeah, god fucking forbid the Amurcan military ever hesitate before we resort to force. That would be downright un-Amercun!! Again, I ask you about the "social engineering" that has led precisely to this mode of thinking (i.e., that any "hesitancy" before using force is somehow a bad thing or worse), which, as you know from reading in this place for any length of time, is really more of a way of life than just a mode of thinking...

[10ac]

Have you read the USA Today story about all the DSL type hand wringing going on over the VW Super Bowl ad? Send in the grief councilors.

[Jungle Rat]

14K?

[crashcourse]

I know I was affended mon.

[bluetick]

I was just in Falmouth two weeks ago and none of the natives seemed particularly happy. Laid back, deliberate in their actions, disenchanted (or bored)...hardly what you'd call upbeat.

[innocentbystander]

so whats the military solution to 23% of woimen saying they have been sexually assulted in a combat zone. lets bring in more women!
http://www.theatlanticwire.com/politics ... ult/61386/

you can say what you want but after spending 21 years in the army and my last 10 in units that were deployed for long periods of time with females bunking right next to you we are opening up a big can of worms. combat readiness is affected by having females on the front lines. Females get horny out there and throwing them in with a platoon or squad of male 20-30y/o's is asking for nothing but trouble. and they know how to use that to their advantage. whether it be trumped up charges, outright blackmail or just a case of falling in love those frontline females are going to be a major headache. plus they call on sick call 3x the rate of meales so you cant depend on them being there

So to summarize: women in the military are untrustworthy

Women do not "challenge" each other the way men do. Women do not typically make other women feel "bad" about doing things that they know they shouldn't be doing because that is not in the nature of women to do so. You ever hear of a woman giving her girlfriend a hard time because the girlfriend of hers is stepping out on that woman's husband because she "fell in love?" Yeah, me neither. They do not challenge each other, they do not shame each other the way men do. Women only shun other women when that woman takes the side of man (and violates the code that women have with one another.)

So that (in and of itself) makes them untrustworthy.

lazy

There is something in Australia called the "Eco Challenge." This is where 6 people get together and hike hundred of kilometers over a period of many weeks. In order to participate, at least one of the members of your group must be female. In order to win, you must complete the challenge first and the woman in your group can't drop out. Typically, teams that do not complete the challenge fail specifically because of the negative impact of the woman on their team. Typically, the "woman" is "carried" by the men at the end of the challenge and the team that wins is the one that has the lightest woman who offered the smallest disadvantage to the team.

Lazy is not a good word. But (in combat situations) you can't expect a woman to pull her own weight, no way. It just wont happen, women are encumberance.

will fuck the nearest available male

A common belief among military personel is that women enlist to find husbands. Or they enlist to get laid.

Women in the military have all the power simply because of math. There are so fewer of them that they have the leverage in pretty much all situations were sex is involved between personel. So it is not that they will fuck the nearest available male. You didn't take your point to completion. It is more that because they are female and they CAN be fucked, women use "the power" (as coined in that movie 40 Days and 40 Nights) to create conflict within the unit because there will be a winner (the man that gets to fuck her) and other men in the unit who are the losers (those who do not get to fuck her.) That conflict can threaten everyone lives because it reduces the cohesiveness of the unit.

will commonly resort to blackmail

That is already happened (as stated above.)

[and are overall pieces of shit.

No Dr Strangelove. Women are just women. They are very different than men. Those differences are NOT being discussed by our people in Congress who are making these rash decisions about putting them into combat situations because to mention these things publically, means these words would go on record. And these words (on record) would be used AGAINST those Congress people in their upcoming elections because women (who vote) are emotional and can not look at these issues pragmatically. They are emtional first, rational second.

Please forgive DSL, he comes from a perspective of continual beat downs by women...

In an interview with David Gregory on Meet The Press, NAACP President Ben Jealous said that Black Americans “are doing far worse” under the Obama Administration than when the president first took office, reports The Washington Times.

“The country’s back to pretty much where it was when this president started,” said Jealous.“White people in this country are doing a bit better. Black people are doing far worse.”

The black unemployment rate was 12.7 percent when Mr. Obama took office. While the unemployment rate in the U.S. as a whole is below 8 percent, the Labor Department reported the black jobless rate was up from 12.9 percent to 14 percent for December.

The worst during Mr Obama’s first term was in September 2011, with 16.7 percent unemployment for blacks — the highest since 1983, the Department of Labor reports. The black teen jobless rate hit a staggering 39.3 percent in July 2012.
