I guess the answer is yes, you are that thick. Can't even be bothered to read a whole thread hahahah
So do you support being allowed to fly other personal flags on a military base?

I was permitted to fly my Pirate flag outside my hutch. Why can't they fly whatever flag they want?
If THIS was allowed (and assuming the pirate flag Caledric is speaking about was not an officially unit flag), then flying a rainbow should be allowed. If flying a rainbow is not allowed, then neither should flying a Jolly Roger be allowed.
Honestly it's that fkn simple...
Wrong. Being permitted is not the same thing as having the right to do something, you really are thick it seems.

my support is irrelevant, it's about rights do you not get that?

LOL most of you assclowns over here can't string together 4 coherent posts in a thread to make it worth reading, so let's not go there about being required to read a whole thread.
Further, the semantics argument is impossibly lame and trollish, but I don't think you're clever enough to be trolling. I think you think you have a point.
Fact: a rule ceases to be meaningful or even valid unless it is uniformly enforced. If you allow someone to break the rule, then you must allow everyone to break it or you lose the authority to enforce the rule.
So, do you think homosexuals should be allowed to fly a rainbow flag on a military base?
Do you think heterosexuals should be allowed to fly a rainbow flag on a military base?
Do you even understand how capricious and selective enforcement of rules and laws is a basis for inequality and injustice?

Well, looks like when I called out TuG he went the way of the nancy-boy.
Anyways, it does get pretty interesting when rules arent always enforced.
Is it discrimination to ALWAYS enforce rules on some people and not on others?
So, let's say you arent allowed to fly ANY flag except the US flag. Then people like cal throw up the pirate flag, people like TuG throw up the rainbow flag, people like me throw up an irish flag. Then, whoever is in charge decides that TuG's fabulous flag is offensive, and sites military policy against this. Is this discrimination?
Now, let's say it was a pirate flag, a rainbow flag and an irish flag, and he just chooses to only take down either of the other ones. Does this feel any different to you all?
But the real answer to the question (that EVERYONE should have chosen) is: I don't know. I can totally understand the military going for uniformity, so I could understand taking away everyone's rights to personalize their living environment. I think it is fundamentally un-american to discriminate IF everyone else is allowed to fly their own flag. I didnt say fundamentally wrong, because, jesus christ people, theyre flags, but it IS fundamentally un-american. I am surprised by how many right wingers so often go the other direction on the whole "freedom" issue.

Sorry Cawlin but as the question stands, you are incorrect and I am correct. This is not a "semantics" issue or whatever you want to call it, it's a question of rights which is what was asked. If the OP wanted a position based on opinion then they would have phrased the question differently.

Factually, conceptually, and pragmatically incorrect.

what an interesting article
Prostitution
Main article: Prostitution among animals
In some penguin species, the females, even when in a committed relationship, will exchange sexual favours with strange males for the pebbles they need to build their nests.[53] Prostitution was also observed among chimpanzees, who trade food for sex
