CBS 5) BERKELEY A Berkeley watchdog organization that tracks military spending said it uncovered a strange U.S. military proposal to create a hormone bomb that could purportedly turn enemy soldiers into homosexuals and make them more interested in sex than fighting.Pentagon officials on Friday confirmed to CBS 5 that military leaders had considered, and then subsquently rejected, building the so-called “Gay Bomb.”http://cbs5.com/topstories/local_story_159222541.htmlHey — MAKE LOVE, NOT WARPeter Nuhn
EAC,
I support totally the work of Mike Rogers in outing gay politicians who campaign against gay rights. They deserve absolutely no mercy. He has never outed a closeted politician who is supportive of gay rights which I think would be wrong. Bravo to him for ratting out these harmful people.
It really is too bad that we don’t have a gay bomb because Texas would make a hell of a target! Can you imagine all those redneck bible beating cowboys getting all hot for each other?
EAC:
First, he isn?t outing all gay politicians, just individuals that support limiting homosexual?s rights. If he was just outing politicians that happened to be gay, I would have a BIG problem with that. Also, his exposing of gay politicians is less because he doesn’t like their policies, as you suggest, than it is because they are creating laws that discriminate against homosexuals while they themselves are homosexuals ? there’s a BIG difference in motivation there.
Also, I WOULD support exposing atheist politicians if they were creating laws that forced government sponsored religion on Americans. Wouldn’t you?
The issue here isn?t about exposing sexual preference for political gain, it?s about exposing hypocrisy in politics. A hypocrisy that affects the lives of millions of gay Americans. Although these politicians are not doing anything illegal, their hypocrisy is unethical. As such, I believe they should loose their jobs. They are the worst kind of politician and not of the sort I would wish to remain in office ? remember WE hire them. If they loose their jobs, it?s because we decided so.
Exactly! Imagine fighting an army of lovers… Bad enough to see your buddy die, how zealous would a soldier get if his/her loved one died next to them in combat?
I admit, it would be a funny weapon though.
alex and DVan,
I agree that these politicians are hypocrites, but then again, pretty much every politician is. I just don’t think that outing them as gay is really going to solve the issue. It might even encourage homophobia. There are better ways to work against asshole politicians than telling everyone they?re gay.
@”reason”
Do you read your own lines and wonder how stupid they sound?
Hm, how about:
straights have free will so just because they are attracted to the other sex doesn’t mean they have to act on those urges.
Assuming you meant “can’t exercise”:
Are you familiar with the term “consenting”? Why should two consenting adults have to “control” themselves, lest they be thrown in jail? Morality? Then how about extending those laws to include premarital sex and adultery? Aren’t those too morally unacceptable?
well i see i failed to get a response out of the libertarians.
on a serious note anybody know what the price tag is for the 14 permament bases we are building in iraq ? bush says its going to be like korea except for the beheadings.
st.lucifer adultery and fornication is a crime in many places.there are laws still on the books even in united states. my question may sound stupid to you but there are alot of people in this country who think someone like alex or reed should be miserable.i am not one of those people but i am curious as to how libertarians make there case.i would not base it on civil rights but on the inability to enforce such laws.
Case about what? About allowing sexual freedom and taking down restrictive laws?
Ok, how about this: “it is a pleasurable, consenting activity that hurts noone”. You know…. like preaching.
Maybie a very pleasurable, stimulating, relaxing, and sexually liberating pill could be slipped up a certain bushie we all know. As far as gay bombs go I hope someone has a love potient for Hamas/Fatah palestinians.
They told us this at bootcamp.
Like 2 years ago, along with a few other weird chemicals that they tried to make.
Old news.
Now I can forget that nightmare about all the countries of the world gay bombing each other.
