  1. That **** doesn't know what he's talking about.
  2. Semper Fidelis is a Latin motto translating to "always faithful". Semper Fi is just a short version of that. http://www.mca-marines.org/leatherneck/faq.htm#SemperFi When did the term "Semper Fi," an abbreviation of Semper Fidelis, come into being? Although not exactly recorded in history, one story stands out. Sometime shortly after the Beirut bombing in 1983, then–Commandant of the Marine Corps General Paul X. Kelley was visiting a wounded Marine in the hospital. The lad shook the Commandant's hand and then scribbled the words "Semper Fi" on a piece of paper. It was the Marine's way of saying "Semper Fidelis." Gen Kelley became emotional and said, "Lord, where do we get such men?" The press picked up on it. After that the term "Semper Fi" was given new life and a new meaning among Marines. However, for older Marines, the term had a slightly different meaning. Today while one understands "Semper Fi" to be a Marine greeting, in the past. "Semper Fi, Mac" meant "I got mine, how you doing?"

  5. Why am I on there? I never say anything.
  6. There are none.
  7. By definition, all Catholics are Christian. However, that doesn't mean they act like it.
  8. You also must understand that while Catholics are Christians not all Christians are Catholic. Therefore each may have different rules. In addition, just because that is the teaching, it doesn't mean everyone knows, understand or agrees with it. Got that?
  9. You are correct. And if you do not go to confession, you cannot receive the sacraments. That is the thing about this, part of confession and repentance, is that you agree to the penance and you agree not to do that act any longer. According to the Church if you are gay, go to confession, ask for forgiveness it is forgiven, and that is all the priest can do. However the actual forgiveness is from you to God, and part of that agreement means you will not do it again. If you fully intend to walk out and continue to engage in the same sin, then the forgiveness is not granted. Does that explain it?
  10. Back to the question at hand. I believe that the Catholic Church teaches that gay marriage/gay unions should not be permitted as the definition of marriage is the bonding of people in order to procreate. Since that isn't possible, the marraige cannot be legit. However, the Catholic Church as been firm in demanding that gays are treated with respect, treated fairly and just, and have are are accepted into the Church. However, if they are actively engaged in sexual relations, they are considered to be with sin and therefore ineligible to receive the sacraments. If they stay celebate, they are welcome to receive communion, etc...

  14. F18 jockey or rotor head? If rotor head, what does he think? I know guys on the ground who will have to be chauffered around who want these yesterday.
  15. And why don't you talk to some of the rotor head pilot in the Corps as well as some of the senior boots on the ground before you make that statement. This has been a needed piece of equipment in the field for years. Yes it has had problems, a lot of it political, but if they spent as much money fixing the damn thing as they have justifying this thing would have been supporting the MEUs long ago.
