What about this load of crap:

http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-pentagon-transgender-ban-20160630-snap-story.html

I guess all the Trannys will be flooding the service so they can get their change done on the taxpayers dime.

How in the hell can this possibly work? Our leadership in Washington has completely lost its way.

19 other countries, including Canada, seem to be able to make it work. Why is the US incapable of doing so? You don't seem to have much faith in your country.

You are correct. My faith is rapidly diminishing.

I think it is a stupid idea just for the medical expense aspect. Just as many others are excluded for medical reasons, I think the trannys should also be excluded.

Yup. The meter for how far liberalism should go has been broken. Now the fucking Marine Corp. has to kowtow to the PC movement. It's getting fucking ridiculous! Time for a referendum on this bullshit. People in our government have lost their minds. Can't wait til we get a real president again, someone with some god damn balls!

Don't you mean huperson?

Seriously I partly have no problem with this and partly disagree with giving whiny cry babies their way.

To me, man was always short for mankind which includes all human beings in certain contexts. But let's not let reason and logic prevent people from being offended even where no offense ever occurred because said offendees have nothing better to do.
 
So a girl who thinks they're a guy, or guy who thinks they're a girl can be in the Marine Corps. But someone with a forearm tattoo can't because it looks unprofessional? Hypocrisy and idiocy together in one.

IF you lost the referendum would you promise not to bitch?

This:

  1. Place ground beef and onion in a large skillet. Turn heat to medium and cook and stir the mixture constantly until the beef is browned and forms small crumbles, about 10 minutes.
  2. Stir in garlic and green bell pepper; cook and stir until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1 cup water and stir, scraping the pan to dissolve any brown flavor bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  3. Mix in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Add 1 more cup water and return mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated and the mixture is thick, about 40 minutes.
  4. Season with salt , black pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste.

It is true. Just like half the processed crap that lines the shelves, Manwich is completely pointless. It is why I've been saying for years that EBT cards should not even be able to buy half the crap that is for sale in grocery stores. Meat? Yes? Chicken nuggets? No. Herbs, Spices, and whatsa sauce? Yes. Hamburger Helper? No. Dry pasta? Yes. Mac n cheese in a box? No. Its really pretty simple.

Don't worry, geek. That won't happen!

Marine membership not necessary. 🙂

Those darn "Trannys" in the service are there to fight for their country.

Odd you'd say that as I'm in the military and I've had numerous people in my FB feed approve of this change (we are all senior enlisted, fwiw). No one has disapproved and I've got FB military friends all over the political spectrum.

I'm just happy I retired in 1993 ( > 20 years USN ) before all this craziness in the military.

I feel sorry for our current military forces.
 
As far as the main story, I really don't give a flying fuck what you call a job. It's no different than a secretary being given some stupid complex name in order to make them feel better about themselves.

Since when is tranny work covered by health insurance and such? I'm not aware of any that does - but feel free to correct me.

If they want to use their own money for that shit, by all means. I don't give a shit what people do with their earned income, though I will be sure to state the continuously proven slogan of "A fool and their money are soon parted"


edit: I stand corrected by the post above in seeing that it is covered. It is honestly EXPENSIVE shit like this that makes the health insurance of people with legitimate claims skyrocket. I've yet to hear a single tranny story where they were more mentally stable after the fact, or didn't have regrets after the fact.

"huperson"

This is so misogynist, I can't even.

If you had gone with "hupersyn" I'd think you were probably an ultrarightwing rapist dogwhistling ironically, but "huperson" is so completely wrong it should be illegal.

I've always found it funny that Canadians, at least in Atlantic Canada, call mac and cheese 'kraft dinner.' Even if it doesn't come from a box, or a box made by Kraft.

That's on top of calling a box of cheap pasta and powdered "cheese" a 'dinner' I mean.

Not trying to sound elite. Back when I was a drinker I remember craving that orange shit after partying too hard.

what if you were to put manwich sauce on top of a waffle...or make the sloppy joe with two waffles instead of an inferior bun?

:hmm:

You guys might be onto something. Waffles are served with fried chicken at Roscoe's, right?

A change of protein might make it the next cronut!

"Tranny work"? I'll have to remember that one.

I like manwich. What sloppy joe sauce does one find superior? Meijer's brand? Hormel? Heinz? Uncle Joes sloppy sauce from momma binz leftover recipes ? What the hell is better than manwich I ask!?

I like Manwich too, but am not overly fond of any of the canned sauces as is. I start with the basic can of Hunt's and add some chili powder, sauteed onions and garlic. Much better that way.

sodium content is usually through the roof as well. That's why I like to make my own meals, for the most part.
 
Funny how times change, when I was in the Navy (1978-90) people used being gay as an excuse to get out. I'm all for anyone serving their country and putting themselves in harms way if required.
 
I think the stupid children like compuwiz/pcgeek are just scared that if one day they want to assault a LBGT person that person one day could fight back.
