Peg,
One doesn't, of course, have to know what they're talking about in order to offer an opinion. I recognize the pop-psychology being offered here regarding sexuality as hackneyed stuff that smacks of Pysch 101 taken in about 1975.
--my point exactly, which is why I was not sure why I had to keep explaining it...Hackneyed some of it may be but I do think it's true and stand by everything I said...


As to offering an opinion on the miltary folk, I offered an opinion on the behavior of a group of louts who are members of an association of people not sponsored or sanctioned by the military who signed up to chat with each other about military topics. I told you nothing about my history or exposure to the military.
--that's what I did as well, and I was in turn criticized for criticizing the military in general...I did not say you were in any way involved in the military; just trying to make a point that anyone can have an opinion on anything...


A second pass through those remarks should have led you to the conclusion that my last post was largely in your favor. You're preaching to the choir.
--It didn't read that way to me. It still doesn't. I suppose that could be my fault...but maybe not.
