Do Ask! Don't Kill - Truthforce Strikes in The Castro

I'm glad somebody is saying this. No one should fight these rich man's wars.

The term 'illegal war' is kind of meaningless. Who makes the laws? States do, and the ones with the most power have the most influence in shaping those laws. The international 'laws' of war were shaped by the powerful states and they can mold those laws to fit their needs.

I agree that anyone who wants to fight for their state should be able to...but the idea that war is 'just' or 'legal' is really just semantics. Wars are fought for power and influence rather than some golden ideal.

If a state has a reason to fight another, that's all that matters. Wars have been a fact of life since the dawn of man and men will fight each other until a bigger enemy emerges and we are forced to join together.

I stand at this bus stop every day and this makes it so much more fun and wonderful!!

I agree with the point that's being made. But I don't see why being pro-equal rights and being anti-war are mutually exclusive.

I also don't understand why the anti-war movement can't spend their own money instead of infringing on monies already spent on by gay rights organizations.

Gay people that are anti-war and anti-military are free not to join the armed forces and are free to protest as they see fit. However, the gays that do not feel the same are not free to join the military and serve their country.

What that billboard basically says is, "It's good that gays can't be open in the military because it is an immoral organization that they shouldn't want to join anyway." And while its sentiment is in the right place, its logistics are totally fucked up.

I love the sentiment. Whomever did this poster has the right attitude.
