Geuss I will just have to wordsearch for a new label.... for said person. Nose, I think your (and others') sister(s) is (are) safe. Sex, politics and religion all in the same thread.....well no one has accused this place of being boring, have they? Thanks GEO6, I will second (or third) Lex’s comment.

Nose, I think your (and others’) sister(s) is (are) safe.

Sex, politics and religion all in the same thread…..well no one has accused this place of being boring, have they?

Certainly didn't mean to upset any (fellow) Catholics with my wafer eater comment - We have covered the "big three" but every wardroom I have ever been in we had good discourse on sex, politics, and religion. It never got ugly until someone's sister was brought into the conversation... N Oops, just re-read my post. Certainly didn’t mean to upset any (fellow) Catholics with my wafer eater comment –

Sex, politics and religion all in one post. As Lex hints, I think the wardroom rules just curled up and died. Fascinating conversation, though. Ima, interesting that your "liberal, open-minded" self is the only person here who is freaked out by the fact that it was young <i>males</i> that Foley pursued. I'll bet the emotional reaction among many of the commenters here might have been even stronger had it been a 16-year-old female (setting aside whatever double-standard that may imply). The issue with Foley frankly has nothing to do with gender, but everything to do with power, victimization, and (attempted?) seduction. And yes, the fact that gender matters more to you than the other aspects not only makes your "homophobia" an issue, buts makes me wonder whether you have any consistent moral standards (what they are, I'm not sure I care that much, but that they are not consistent is disappointing).
