Me too. That’s why I have been avoiding FR. I’ve got a quick bite on a short leash. lol

I don’t think think that I want a time out. Never had one in 10 years and I don’t want to start now. :-)

I’ve taken a few breaks due to this and that.

Missed FR terribly at first and then discovered other things.

Sure was good to come back both times. In fact I think my profile page still says “I’m back!”

heheh

Warning the ickies.

I am not wrong. Nothing I said was inconsistent.

Recruits are tested for HIV. If they test positive, they cannot enter the military. However, once in the military, service members are tested every two years, and before and after each deployment. If they THEN test positive, they are not kicked out of the military, but they cannot be deployed overseas.

I suppose that it isn't inconsistent to edit your opinion as you post.

Wow... That would be inconsistent, but I haven’t edited anything. Read more carefully.

Also, I haven’t expressed a single opinion. I’ve only asserted facts.

Of course you have changed what you've said. You've done so by adding to your original statement.

You're boring. Have a nice day.

You IGNORED the facts I stated in the above linked post.
Now either admit that I am right, or shut the heck up and go away.
You called me a liar in post 45, I posted backing proof.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2641389/posts?page=45#45

Soldiers with HIV are not being booted as you claimed.
Now either admit you were wrong, or shut up.
You can only choose one.

I’m aware of the list, don’t think I’m on it.

To try and explain my frustration, I’m going to replay this step by step. Then I’m done with this.

Onyx: “And what are they going to do to ensure a clean blood supply? Test the homos every month or spare them from the front lines?”

You: “That violates the medical right to privacy, so they won’t do that.”

Me:”You made that up. All recruits are tested for HIV, and a positive result precludes entry. They are tested at least every two years, and before and after each deployment.”

[Note how I never said that service members who are already in, and later test HIV+, are being booted from the military.]

You:”While recruits are tested, if homos turn up HIV positive AFTERWARDS it is hushed and not spoken of.”

Me:”OK, it may be “hushed up” in the sense that it isn’t announced to the world, and the service member isn’t kicked out. But an HIV+ service member is precluded from being deployed outside the continental U.S.”

[Note how I said that a service member who is already in, and later tests HIV+, is NOT booted from the military.]

You: “Here are some links, showing that HIV+ service members are NOT being booted from the military.”

[Note how I never said otherwise, and in fact admitted this fact before you posted the links.]

DJ MacWow: Ivyleaguebrat, inconsistent is you! First you say HIV+ can’t join the military, and then you say that once they’re in, they can’t be kicked out. Totally inconsistent!

Me: No, it isn’t. It’s the actual military policy, crazy as that sounds.

You: You ignored my links! ACCEPT MAH AUTHORATAH. HIV+ are not being booted!

Me: YES I KNOW I JUST SAID THAT SADFASDF)_#@$_#( /suicide

You can't even quote someone without editing and adding. I never said what you ascribed to me. And I won't respond to you again.

Have a nice evening.

There is not one upside to repealing DADT. Homosexuals in the military are already a problem.

All repealing DADT does is advance the homosexual agenda.

You really are such an interesting troll.
You called me a liar in your post 45.
I proved my point with facts.
Now either SHUT UP or admit that you were wrong.
Those are your only choices.
And you can only choose one.
