Re: Nice Planet 2011
The problem is in defining special accomplishments. What is a special accomplishment to one person, is an abomination to another. Two perfectly sane people disagreeing.
And this is NOT a pro/con military issue, Pio. If I saw this young woman in her uniform would not salute her. I would thank her for her service with a genuine smile and a firm handshake. Thanks to young people like her we are free to have these discussions.

Let's all just agree what we are and what we do and have the libtards stop posing as Albert Schweitzer. Paraphrasing Geroge C. Scott in Patton, "I admit I'm a prima donna, the problem is Montgomery won't admit he's a prima donna too."

Well, screw any American (obviously not you) who thinks being a Marine is an "abomination." I just don't agree that coming up with a list of exceptions would require the efforts of the Warren Commission or a huge legal staff. We can (or should) all agree this young lady is deserving of our respect and gratitude. And if all our posting here is not a "Pro/con" military issue (anything's possible) then we have far more people obsessive compulsive about observing the protocols of high school graduations than I had thought possible. Reminds me of Funky Winkerbean, the cartoon kid who while hall monitor, had a .30 caliber water cooled machine gun handy, in case anybody broke "the rules."

Re: Nice Planet 2011
Just because it's a HS shouldn't matter. It's an institution, an entity, an organization, however you want to name it, that made the rule. A rule they have the right to make, since it doesn't break any laws, doesn't discriminate, etc etc.
Do many of us think there should be certain exceptions? Yes. Do many of us think the HS is correct in their ruling (since there are no exceptions in the rule itself)? Yes. Are many of us disappointed in this rule, but we understand the reasoning? Yes.
There's no anti-military agenda. No lefty-righty political agenda in disagreeing/agreeing with the HS ruling.

Good thing it was Luther and not you when Tetzel came through selling those indulgences otherwise we'd all still be eating fish on Friday.

Re: Nice Planet 2011
I tried giving you the benefit of the doubt, but unfortunately, it is to no avail. And you (not solely) are the reason I try and stay out of any sort of thread like this. Black and white. There is no gray. There is no "I respect your opinion, but I disagree because of 'rational reason 1' and 'rational reason 2' etc."

Re: Nice Planet 2011
I've tried to disagree with you as respectfully and "rationally" as I can. You've repeated your primary point several times and while I understand it, I still disagree. What do you suggest I do? I have expressed my point of view repeatedly. You obviously disagree. So? Surely you didn't get your feelings hurt by the reference to Luther and Tetzel. That would be unfortunate, since I was just trying to class up the joint.

North Allegheny HS relented, and allowed an exception for Lindsay Starr to walk in her uniform last night. She decided against it and walked in a cap and gown.

How dare she not walk in her military uniform! She is clearly a disgrace to her service and hates America.

Middle school sarcasm. Oh, Lordy. She's a better man than you'll ever be. And probably a better writer, too. Since in the context of this discussion "military" is redundant.

Re: Nice Planet 2011
An attempt at a fart joke? You are just a certain kind of special. It's definitely a good thing you post so much in this and the previous thread.
