A good day will be the day people start boycotting any product that is advertised on a Murdoch-owned media outlet of any sort.

While I wouldn%u2019t argue with your accuracy, I would add that there are those who are very articulate, yet couldn%u2019t get a thought or meaning across with wheelbarrow.

Hi j-whitman and wfbdem...

j-whitman..you are correct about their prior service in our military. I just don''''t think it''''s right.

wfbdem.. (white ******* boy democrat) You only wish you were in the service. Name calling is the first line of defense for queers. Your colors are fully displayed. Everyone is laughing at you now.

drivelphobe, I believe I have read every comment on this article so far and I fail to see where wfbdem used specific name-calling, insults yes.

BTW isn%u2019t your interpretation of wfbdem%u2019s ID (white ******* boy democrat)actually name-calling?

At least they caught the mistake and pulled the ad. I''m all for g*ays in the military. We need expendable people to clear mine fields and detonate unexploded ordinence.

THere was a group of knights in the middle ages that were primarily gueers {don''t you love how CBS will let us say gueer but not g*y} they were the most feared and victorious fighter of that period. The spartans and greeks encouraged it for dedication on the battlefield.I see nothing wrong with it no I''m not gay I belive it deviant behavior but that''s just my opinion and one thing I learned in this life is not to tell others how to live unless they start knocking at my door and values.

alphaa10,
Your posts, as usual, are thoughtful and accurate.

The sad fact however, is that too many of us cannot admit/accept the fact that we have (through the failed, and often illegal, Bush administration policies/actions the last 7 years) been so wrong.
No mistake or error can ever be corrected without first admitting to the mistake or error.

To Mitch0927-- Most who post comments understand there will be misspellings and various artifacts of a computer keyboard, including repeated lettersssssss and mising letters or even non-registered l tters. Not to mention various grammatical signatures which serve as a measure of the poster''s literacy.

Fluency rarely substitutes for content, however, and some rudely-written posts contain gems of wisdom.

Granted, a little pre-submission editing will help and is always encouraged, but errors are often helpful for context-- they reveal more about the general education and viewpoint of the poster than he or she might otherwise reveal.

All to the good, of course...
