If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

Re bolded line: I don't believe that's the case. Any court (in US at least) has to wait for a case to be brought before it by someone "with standing" before it can consider & decide on the question before it. In addition, for SCOTUS to hear a case, AFAIK the case has to have first worked its way th...

Hunt: That was a rather crappy video, it wasn't really helpful. Yes, you see a CHiP punching a black woman, but you also see the black woman trying to claw out his throat/choke him out. The first reaction to someone going for your throat is usually to tuck your head down, and then start punching. I ...

So what's your opinion on the Hobby Lobby/SCOTUS case FT? Especially since overturning will be appeasing the SJL-types (among other groups) :P

welch: A mild riposte: it's Congress that has to confirm the President's appointments to the SCOTUS. SO it IS about Congress, and the American public for that matter as they're elected representatives (even if they don't represent their constituents properly), fucking shit up. Maybe not this particu...

welch: Could be that they prepare it differently in France. You can go to a Popeye's in Louisiana and it'll be far different from the Popeye's in Ohio. As for the SCOTUS thing, no, I'm not worried about it. Having the justices able to "screw people over for decades at a time" doesn't really matter u...

Dick Strawkins: Based solely on your first line, and regardless of it being "Joan Rivers", I came to the conclusion that the assumption of a "really shitty joke" was accurate. I think she'll also escape the repercussions of her shitty joke, that had a man said it, would have instantly been "homophob...

Hoo boy, I hope you didn't light any fireworks yesterday with all those strawmen surrounding you. You made a claim about the "the western world" and I asked for evidence. There must be some, apart from your own, because otherwise you wouldn't have said it, would you? You wouldn't pull it out of you...

and exactly none of that has anything to do with your "if you'd just keep your legs together, you'd not need contraception" shit. And that is exactly my fucking point about "keep your legs together" being a non-fucking-point. I shouldn't have said it, but perpetuating it isn't solving the problem e...

welch: Well shit. I guess I have to work on my mind control problems. It's really just a wait-and-see at this point. If it were my "pretty story" it would be no one's fucking business what anyone did outside of their official capacity as an employee. Unfortunately that leads to another can of worms,...

No, it's your "I CAN KEEP MY DICK IN MY PANTS, THEREFORE CONTRACEPTION ISN'T NEEDED" shit that I'm mocking. It's your moralizing about how "if I can do it, fuck anyone who doesn't, clearly they're weak and stupid and why should I care about them. And if they can't stop fucking, well they can just p...

Since you choose to apply your claim to the western world, I'd like to see some statistics that support it. Remember, the plural of anecdote is not data and the opposite of complex is simple. Interesting, not aware of any way to record a metric of "Man the fuck up you lazy bastard" versus "You ough...

Should be:
"everyone involved takes a gutpunch over it."

welch: Yeah, it's tough to discern where you stand. But it did come across to me as fearmongering. By all means, when it becomes abused, then I hope everyone takes a gutpunch over it. Me included. The vocal ones objecting to the decision that shout "inequality" are the ones that I am avidly against....

Southern: Why the fuck do Gods/Demigods need armor at all? Aren't they supposed to be more or less immortal? Why would they bother with clothes, let alone armor (outside of the "themed" gods like Ares) when very little can do harm to them? Fair point. But: If a God has a finite number of Hit Points...

your words are hollow just look at the effectiveness of abstinence only education My words I assume, as I was the one suggesting abstinence. It's funny because I've gotten the exact same "abstinence" education, and what a shocker, I don't have any little ones, nor does anyone have the ability to cl...

BarnOwl:
Times like these, I'm glad I'm over on the east coast sharing a border with Canada instead of out west sharing a border with Mexico. None of that "Mexicans go home!" rhetoric, though it was a bit of a racist running gag in high school.

Not terribly surprised. Personally I'm sick of Sarkeesian; but that's not unique to me.

Fascist Tit: I know it has been brushed a few times here before, but the "three quotations" limit is a bit of a burden for short, in context quotations.

This is a bit of a strawman. Monogamous women need birth control too, as birth control for men, short of sterilization, is not fully reliable. Also, the people who need financial support for birth control the most are the ones least able to 'find a job that supports their choices'. If you're saying...

another lurker: reproductive freedom = basic human right choices for how reproductive freedom works is NOT a "basic human right". The reproductive freedom aspect can be accomplished the same as: Sex? [ ] Yes [ ] No That covers your "reproductive freedom", and you know what? It worked for over two th...

Access to birth control is most definitely a human right. People - men and women - should have the right to plan their own reproductive future. And before you get your knickers in a twist, I am talking about ACCESS not FREE BC. Women and men still HAVE access to birth control. :whistle: It's not a ...

On the other hand, seeing women's contraceptives being covered as an example of inequality is nonsensical to me. It's a biological reality that women get pregnant from having semen delivered into them. It's also the case that pregnancy affects women directly prior to birth, so they naturally have a...

ROBOKiTTY: The problem with that diagnosis is that you have Feminists on the one side saying it's a gendered issue and that birth control is sacred, and you have Hobby Lobby et al. on the other claiming it's a religious issue. I agree that it's a problem when/if it goes so far as to break any other ...

I hold cops (and judges) to a higher standard than I do some random person. Random person has a bad day and it's beat down followed by arrest. Cop has a bad day and it's beat down followed by arrest.

I love how supposedly telling people to stay abstinent for life, if they dont want kids, or simply want to limit family size, is viewed as some sort of brilliant solution. Just wag your finger, tell society what to do, and everyone will zip it up and live happily ever after in a field of daisies an...

Sulman: It gets pointed out often. And then it gets labeled "monstrous". The Mykeru v. Watson Page O' Hate crap demonstrates it precisely. Asking for evidence becomes harassment, and that harassment becomes the monster. It really is a machine designed to capitalize on, and perpetuate, outrage. It's ...

Opyt said, "Officer decides to make "her problem" into "his problem". Original plan was to pass by after making the request." Yeah, here's the rub.

I never realized that nigger was an anagram for ginger. Thanks for pointing that out Jim.

I dunno, he's got a point. I believe they were called "sharecroppers" when they began to get "paid" in the late 1800s.
