Both.

IMHO, Russel’s point is exactly on target.

It’s not about loving or hating gay people. It’s about segregating people by sexual preference. I’m pretty sure males and females are kept in separate quarters for this very reason, and can understand why some men and women would feel uncomfortable living in intimate quarters with people who might have a sexual interest in them (and where they really don’t want to reciprocate).[/quote]
I agree that its not about loving or hating anyone.

However, I think the comfortability factor should not play a bigger policy part in military life than it does in regular life.
You share bathrooms now with homos.
You have gay waiters and doctors.
Like half of your kids’ teachers are gay.
Gender segregation is easy because respective genders look and act comparatively differently from one another.
Women generally are of a physically smaller stature and generally have higher voices.
Those are some of their defining characteristics.
The only thing that defines homos is the sentiment of sexual preference.
Segregation based on any preference or sentiment (other than loyalty) is foolish.
You are basically arguing for separation based on the possibility that some soldiers will be afraid that someone will think something about them (that they are attractive) that they don’t like.
The absurdity of catering to that particular sensitivity is part of the reason that the Israeli army doesn’t.
While I am not a fan of Israeli policies, it can’t be argued that they suck at defense generally or unit cohesion in particular.

One comment here about homos.
(aka “godless sodomites” as I refer to them at my Hillcrest office).

If serving in a life-or-death situation is compromised because of inadequate unit cohesion that is a very serious issue.

However, if you can’t serve honorably or effectively because the dude covering your back happens to hump dudes when off duty, then I think you probably should not be in the military.

I don’t think everyone should have the same opinions about racial, gender, ethnic, or gen-pref diversity.

However, you should never fear that your unit-mate will be less helpful in protecting you because of some irrelevant bullshit.

There are loads of racists that serve just fine alongside blacks and mexicans. If they cant hack it then they get the fuck out.

I can’t imagine something that would matter less to me than whether my back up likes it up the ass or not.

Correction.
Lady Gaga. I might actually care less if my unit mate likes Lady Gaga.

Here is what deflation looks like in a country of savers.

http://www.google.com/finance?q=USDJPY

Debt gets structurally more expensive and exports get harder to sell.

Unless you have a safety issue that kills a brand and are willing to sell at a loss to keep market share.

Unless you have already paid all funds into escrow (and even then it is hard) you generally cannot be compelled to close escrow.

Hope that cools you off a touch.

However, there is generally a clause about your deposit being kept as liquidated damages and that going away. Usually, that is harder to get back from a new builder than on a standard purchase agreement.

If you have not paid funds in at all yet, then don’t.
If you used a personal check, stop payment now.
If you did not walk away with a copy of what you signed and now it is more than 12 hrs later, the contract may be voidable (though I am not a lawyer, that is how it has been related to me by lawyers).

Good luck.
