"So I guess we should all behave the same way and we should teach a singular set of values and behaviors to all people and ignore the differences that varying personalities bring to society."

No, it's ridiculous to imagine that a group of dancers and their parents, who have put time, effort, and money into a production, shouldn't be upset by the disruptions of one of the members. They should. Having one of the team deliberately screwing up the performance is not part of the program. Clearly, the girl on…

It would seem the staff member who entered with the (toy) pistol violated the "no tolerance" policy and should be summarily fired, as should be any conspirators who knew of and encouraged him or her.

Mach 1 *can* be measured at sea level, but it is usually observed at much higher altitudes, since it is easier to achieve there. Only fighter jets (and perhaps experimental aircraft) can get the number on the deck, but even big, fat airliners cruise at around Mach 0.83, at altitude. At sea level, that speed is 660…

Just noticed your username. "Toss"? "Power Fap"? "Jack off on the flag"? You seem a little masturbation-preoccupied.

Well, as long as we all understand you don't have anti-military bias... John Wayne? Jack off on the flag? Your Freudian slip is showing, cementing your original statement in its ridiculousness. Despite your arrogant and vulgar conflagrations to the contrary, you are not digging yourself out of your hole, my…

Oh, I see, now. I should have inferred "The military also trains young people to kill justifiably, legally, and within rational moral confines" from your statement ""the institution that trains young people to murder." That is simple.

You said, "the institution that trains young people to murder."

1. Honor and virtue? You just moved the goalpost. http://goo.gl/JDL8vp Having served, I can say that you will find a fairly representative cross section of society serving, perhaps slightly more patriotic and honorable than John Q. Public.

The fact of the matter is, the person may be tried, convicted, and punished (or acquitted) in both places, and a finding of innocence or guilt in either place does not guarantee the same outcome in the other.

It is widely reported that her answer to question #1 is, "I don't remember." That would seem to indicate reasonable doubt.

So, all military casualties are murders, since that is what we train our military for, murder? Any veteran who has killed an enemy combatant is a murderer? Any support trooper or REMF who aids the warriors is an accessory to murder?

Or, better yet, a rifle.

Where it is confusing, for me, from a legal standpoint, is how to codify bad drunken behavior while allowing consensual drunken behavior. I'll draw an analogy to illustrate:

Another confusing language issue: How does one refer to a transgendered person's past, using pronouns? For instance,

What you wrote made me think of an idea that may be at root of the issue.

It's the double-edged sword of any action that "defends" an entity, the back side of the blade condemns the defended as one who needed protecting.

I believe one factor, more than any other, perpetuates the gender chasm: the omnipresent specter of a sexual harassment lawsuit.

I actually do this with everything, not just chargers. As I accomplish tasks around the house, I will make a "car key mountain" that stages all the stuff I can't forget to take with me, piled on top of my keys.
