  1. I think TheScotsman got hacked, he made a post outside the Serious Discussion part of the forum!
  2. I always buy Tangiers from Hookahjohn. His inventory turnover is pretty high and is in close proximity to Tangiers, which normally means I am always buying the freshest Tangiers outside of stopping by the lounge myself.

Enough blame for both of you. 1) Hookahset, should have clearly stated "No Combining" They assume people wouldn't 2) You should have confirmed before ordering. You assumed they would Been there before, and the conclusion I came to is this "They will lose my business for a time, for not being clear, and I will never assume anything that might to my advantage in any business arrangement (selling or buying)." - Life Lesson #492 [/quote] Troof, however: Anyone see a pattern with Hookahset? It only took me one transaction to see that they are not up to par with the other sellers that frequent these forums. Cheaper prices doesn't always mean reliable service! Save the gambling for the black jack tables! - Life Lession #493

Of course, Congress put off the vote, probably till after the election. I consider myself fairly liberal, especially concerning social issues. I am also a veteran of the United States Marine Corps and the Vietnam conflict. My military was straight, circa 1965 and if you were found to be gay you were forced out of the service. I saw a few guys literally disappear during my enlistments. Today things are different, I reckon and maybe gays want to serve our country' The general being considered for the next commandant of the Marine Corps said his peace about the issue. He has reservations and doesn't think, given the special nature of the Marine Corps that it would work. I have to stand with Gen. Amos on this issue. I find it hard to accept gays in the Marines. This maybe latent homophobia working or some good old Marine Corps brainwashing still in my mind. I'm not particularly homophobic. I've had gay friends and co workers and never had a problem with that. I just see it as disruptive in the military. Am i being old fashioned, prejudiced or too rigid. I'd like to hear what you'all think regarding this matter. [/quote] I am in complete agreement. Gays will, and do destroy esprit de corps. Their presence weakens the comradeship of a unit. The average early adult male is uncomfortable around them in a combat situation. There is a reluctance to count on them, and heterosexual males do not believe they will provide sufficient support to others in the unit. Gays openly serving are, and will always be an offense to some cultures. They will make US units a target of some radical religious sects. Let me guess, Rani thinks we should jail the freak that wants to burn Korans because it is offensive to Muslims, and will make US soldiers targets... but thinks those same soldiers would be fine as targets if it's a result of an openly gay member of that unit offending the locals in a culture where homosexuality is a crime. How can you expect a soldier to suppress any display of their religion, to eat a diet free of pork, and others to avoid any references to alcoholic beverages, to remove any photos of their loved ones in which a female is depicted in with no covering over their shoulders/arms/hair. Even worse, to remove any photos of the family dog from their personal belongings, all because it offends the enemy, or host nation, then in the same breath tell me we need openly gay soldiers-which will offend them far more than the previous affronts. That is epically silly, and demonstrates a lack of thorough thought behind your opinion. the thought of even one soldier getting killed because we need to coddle a special interest group more worried about their sexual display, then the good of the others in a unit makes me sick. [/quote] No. Gays do not destroy the spirit of the corps, it's the assholes who are homophobic that destroy it. Just because a man is gay does not mean he wants to have sex with you -- or any other man in his corps. The heterosexual males need to get over their issues with homosexuality, they're the problem not the gays. Homosexuality is also not offensive to Islam nor any other major military company. All major religions would be able to adapt to a military life style, because they knew what they were getting in to when they signed up. Radicals in any religion wouldn't join the armed forces, any branch, if they truly followed their religious traditions. Religion is not a buffet, you can't pick and choose which rules you follow; the only exception is a logical systematics approach to disregarding outdated laws or proper interpretation of the religious texts. [/quote] On my local news radio, there was a discussion of whether or not the rank and file really give a damn. [b]They couldn't interview troops in the field easily, so they did what they considered to be a reasonable sampling of troops staying put in one place - every VA hospital in the country[/b]. According to the news report, overwhelmingly, they didn't much give a damn who the guy covering their back was sleeping with, so long as he was covering their backs. Scotsman, I've said since the very beginning rank and file should be making this decision. The still must be up and running because you've stopped reading before ranting. 'Rani [/quote] While I think that people who lay down their lives for our country shouldn't be judged by who they share their bed with, I do question the statistical significance of surveying only the hospitalized military personel on this topic.

  10. Communities change and evolve all the time. I'm having trouble seeing the logic behind the OP.
  11. Sorry to hear that. I hope that doesn't hinder your ability to admin this forum. Maybe moving somewhere else where you can conduct business is a good idea...
  12. The funny thing is, I got three different flavors, but when I opened them up, I got the same scent: ethanol. This is used as a solvent for flavorings, but I think it was waaaaaaaay overdone in Social Smoke. I tried threee flavors. I gave them a chance, I really did. Never again.
