General Pace Says Gay Sex Immoral
I know this guy is going to take a lot of gripe about this one, but I don’t think they should look at the man who said the words but those who put him where he is at. Pace on the other hand should be praised for speaking out on how he sees it. If the world at large doesn’t like the answer then maybe the world at large should stop asking the question. There are already laws and standard put into place by offices higher than the one held by the general, so whatever he feels about the subject and irrelevant to what action he takes. He is in the same boat as the rest us in the military. I was dead set against the invasion of Iraq. I agreed with the need to remove Sadam but I understood that our forces were too thin for two conflicts. Since the cold war the military was cutting back on manpower. During the ‘90s the army seemed to be downsizing with a sling blade. I also knew that after taking out the government and it’s infrastructure of Iraq we would be stuck there until a new one was put into place to replace the one we just destroyed. I knew we would be stuck in Iraq for at least ten years rebuilding. We’re the United States and it is our M.O.. But when the order came I went, because I had given my word and 15yr in the Navy taught me that my word was a word not easily broken. This general is under that same sword, and for a lot longer than me I am sure.
Sure I agree with what he said homosexuality. It is sinful and therefore immoral, if you asked me I would tell you what I though. If you don’t like my answer don’t ask the question. While the majority of the young kids commit the same fornications but with the opposing gender, why would I want to single out one group of people. Sure I’m opposed to marriage amongst homosexual; I think there are more than enough heterosexuals already making a mockery of this institution. However if the subject should ever come to a vote I think I’ll have take a pass. I will just skip over that ballot item to something I feel is more worthy of my time. Who knows maybe this gay marriage thing will pass by default because more people than just me will see the hypocrisy of the whole thing.
The people I am more concerned with are the people sitting behind the general. After he said that he was judging the sin and not the person these people called him a bigot. But if he already said that there were many a fine person that chooses to live this life style how would that make him a bigot. Is he a bigot because he doesn’t agree with their point of view, does that even make sense? I myself am omnivorous that mean I will eat the flesh of some dead animal as readily as some vegetable matter, but if some Vegan told me that my practices were wrong would I see them as a bigot certainly not. I would continue in my unhealthful ways, unless one is training to be an athlete eating animal proteins aren’t all that necessary, but I would refrain from eating animal proteins in their presence because it would make them uncomfortable. So who is the bigot, the people behind him filled with their hate and rage are the bigots. They judged him not from his actions but by his ideological stance.


Ran
I watched a movie called Ran. It watches like a shakespearian drama. I lord abdicates to his to his sons hoping that they would rule together. His third son he banishes in a fit of rage, and other two sons turn around and humiliate him and drive out of their castles. The two son drive the old lord into some outskirt castle then attack him, killing off his retinue. They kill off men and women , the young and old, the only reason they didn’t kill him was because he went mad. There is a lot of court intrigue in this movie, people backstabbing each other, concubines running their kings, it was great. Yes it was all in japanese but I'm hard core anime so I'm use to sub titles.
The only thing I could say negative about this movie is it runs a little long. As an American a movie needs to last no longer than 90 minutes, thanks to television I have a short attention span. Very few movies have ever had such a hold on my testies that I would watch the whole movie and later realize it was 2 hrs or more in duration, Lord of the ring is one of them.
