Legislating morality

[Big Money]

if that makes you sad, gee.... that's too bad. I hope you get over it and have a happier day going forward.

Where did you get the impression our chats make me sad? I'd hardly engage you unless I found enjoyment in so doing, would I?

 

[maineman]

I'm sure "others" may say a lot of bullshit.

and God knows, you never do that, do you?

:lol:

whatever gender blows your skirt up, big shooter. I really don't care. pick one.

It seems you can't make up your mind. Maybe you should pick one.

 

[Big Money]

bingo.

Did I imply otherwise, Commander?

It would be indeed sad if a retired officer of the United States Navy had acted in a manner unbecoming by knowingly violating the law, wouldn't it, Commander?

It would seem that you thought it would make SOMEBODY sad, I guess it could be the mouse in your pocket..... it certainly isn't ME, that's for sure!

:lol:

why?

I don't know where you got that idea. I've assumed that you also enjoy our little tête-à-têtes.

 

[Big Money]

why?

Because it's your own advice, Commander.

If you don't want to take it, that's fine.

so it wouldn't be sad? I'm certainly not sad... and, apparently, neither are you. that's great. I wouldn't want anyone to be sad.

It would be a sad day for the honor of the United States Navy if a relatively high-ranking officer knowingly engaged in illegal and/or unethical behavior, wouldn't it?

 

[maineman]

you'd have to ask the US Navy, I'd imagine.

They have a Code of Conduct, don't they?

 

[I'm Watermark]

If you add... "in any demonstrable and significant or substantial way." I would agree with that statement.

The Problem is that social conservatives keep using the argument that "it is destructive to society." or some such nonsense, and try to tell gays they cant get married or tell people how they must live their lives.

The social conservative argument is, at least, honest. More based on conservative as an tendency, as opposed to a partisan orientation. The reason you haven't seen conservatism being especially reformist is that it sticks to comfortable, existing practices, rather than venturing into new territory,

do they?

Don't you know, Commander?

 

[maineman]

Don't you know, Commander?

Do I?

 

[Big Money]

Do I?

If you don't, that would explain why you don't feel any compunction about violating it.

Of course, it would also call into question your account of your separation from the service and the manner thereof, wouldn't it?

 

[maineman]

who said I don't feel compunction about such a thing?

 

[maineman]

and why would my retirement from the Navy be called into question?

 

[Big Money]

and why would my retirement from the Navy be called into question?

I can think of some reasons. If you'd received a OTH discharge, for example? But that's crazy talk, right?
