As he's a former military medial doctor, I would think he would not since you cannot require civilian doctor to go with the military into combat zones.

How they gonna get battlefield heathcare if there's no field hospital?

The military isn't the market, folks. It's a unique beast that requires unique provisions when comparing it to a free market.

No, you can't require it, but you can contract for it. We already have civilian medical personnel and doctors working for us, so what are you talking about?

Are you going to draw a line between this and your mailing issues, or simply continue to obfuscate?
 
The answer to your poll, Foo, is:

Hell No!

I sell on eBay and never ship overseas. Why? Because I don't want to. I would be livid if Congress told me I HAD TO.

You get this right?

i get you. but you are talking an exchange of a physical good.

I'm talking the simple process of them taking my credit card payment so i can have access to an archive. not an exchange of a good, but a transaction of money for a service. there was never a need to mail anything in their case. they just wouldn't accept an APO billing address.

I beat them tho. I changed my address on my card and in the access request to my dad's address in the U.S. and got right in and what I wanted.

civilian doctors? maybe in garrison.

i've yet to meet one in the field. have you?
 
So what is the problem?

Also does your APO address have a zip code.

I know that most credit card verification systems have to match the card to zip code. If there is no zip code the system will not match the card with you.

Yes, I have a ZIP code... I said that earlier. ;)
 
Then I really don't know what the business's problem is. Maybe next time try typing in crap in the street address section but use the APO zip code as the billing, and have the shipping address as the apo. Since the cc verification systems only use zip code it should go right through. In this you don't even have a shipping address because you only need access to the document.
 
It's already something We the People said they Congress can do.

So, please justify why they shouldn't when they've been given the power to do so.

That is a fallacious appeal to false evidence. You buying something online has nothng to do with supporting the troops to prepare them for defense, feeding, housing or clothing them. I may suggest the reason business owners do not do business with miltary post boxes is that they can be deplyed rather quickly and the whole transacton end of floating n the other end of cyberspace with a disgruntled soldier somewhere else cancelling cheque or tryng to revoke the crdit card amount for what was purchased but never got to him.

Hey..make pals with a local lady..unless yer at the Pnegap scalar weapons facility and their is only sheep for miles..and use her addy. It'll do you both a good turn.
 
We gave them power to make laws necessary and proper to faciliating the raising and support of an army.

So, since this involves the military, they have the power to do it.

So all the ladies in your detachments can go on online shopping sprees.. Yes.. George and the boyz made sure the troops could get that cheek rouge from Paris, and that naughty printed pornography etching from Italy..

Jeesh

No. The business should be able to sell to whom they choose. What this does do is open up an opportunity for other people to launch businesses that DO accept APOs. Government coercion is rarely the answer to the problem. Let the free market work.
 
great, you lose so i get an infraction?

"don't insult service members"

give me a break!

hahahahahahaqha!! How pathetic and peurile.. The nun is gonna fly outta the monitor next, slap you with a ruler and you will have to write a millon times on the board "Foo Is My Master.." I keep trying to gve the guy an even break and then I see this kind of drivel and the same tactics..warning..warning..I cannot handle the crap I started..warning warning..hahahaha!:D

This man is a clear and present danger in his blatant disregard and contorted interpreatation of plain and simple language in The Constitution, and I will bet he works at Pinegap with exotic scalar weapons or close..perimeter stuff maybe..and they don't allow the unwashed to get close to that weaponry.

Don't call them fascists without backing it up.

The fact that you call them fascists shows you don't understand what fascism is.

Hohohooooooo. I can string a line of torched corpses down the whole bloody page and the next two hundred.. But I think the illustration is there.. As well you want to join business at the hip to the miltary and have them be forced to be your luxury item quartermaster. That smacks of fascism because you join government and business and have enforcement by the government who uses the miltary and internal goon squads to enforce business.

<riiiiiip> The sound of me removing his stripes....

That's right... Run away!! :rolleyes:

Sir Robin the Brave, ladies and gentleman.

Piffle.. he saw what you were about.. You are the artful dodger.. There is no point trying to pin down a wisp of nothing begging for the ghawdz of false entitlement to ship them that porn study they need because the sheep are getting purty..

Randy
 
As I ask everyone that say that, since when are moderators not allowed to have opinions?

When they issue warnings based on reactions to their opinion. You have done that dozens of times and like to barracks harass people..they get mad and then you issue an infraction.. How purely and utterly contemptible.

The free-market could take care of the question at hand. Let's say Costco won't ship to military, but, guess what? Sam's does. So Sam's has the monopoly on military until someone else decides to wisely come in and capitalize.

He doth protest too much, methinks.

... Especially for someone who hasn't behaved as well as other forum members and gotten warnings because of that behavior.

I wonder why you feel the need to comment when discussion had ended well over a few hours ago. Based on what I know about you from your many past posts, I'll just assume you've taken enforcement of forum rules rather personally.

Your statements are as fair and balanced as Fox News reporting. Not to mention the innuendo is kind of juvenile, in my opinion.

As for me, most of the time I just ignore what you post because you've never demonstrated to me anything that's really worthy of my attention except maybe your local music industry cred... It seems the only thing which I seen that you've put to use in Dr Paul's grassroots campaign.

The rest of the time you spend in flame-warring it in Hot Topics. You are in a position to get out the vote where you are. I am not. Why you spend most of your time here makes one wonder...
