(yeah I'm pretty apathetic about politics)
Obama doesn't know a lot of shit either, but good god he is such the lesser of two evils here it is literally insane.This this this.
A quote from a McCain supporter:
I fail to understand how people do not understand the appeal of the McCain/Palin ticket. It is the feeling of the return to the true American dream that is exemplified by the inclusion of a governor of Alaska, the last remaining frontier. Historically, people in this country have had a sense of independence and a desire to make their own life. We want to hunt and grow our own food, build our own homes and create our own life for our family and those we care about. We never ask for nor would we accept help from anyone. If a friend or neighbor is in need of help we are willing to do whatever we can to help them.
See, how am I supposed to take his opinion seriously when he's SUCH A MORON. Politics aside, he has a complete contradiction in the last two sentences. And if you like Palin because she's from Alaska, a "frontier state" with HUNTING, you've got some issues. I just can't believe people think like this.
He goes on to talk about being able to give to charity - The rest of his argument talked about not wanting to give universal healthcare, because those who work hard for their money should enjoy better healthcare. Oh, great, such charity from you asshole.
His final line was to follow your religion and vote for McCain.
I just can't stand how people can think they're in with the politics, make a huge essay that contradicts itself about 10 times, and thus ends up making their decision based on religion or a complete misconception about "the american dream" which McCain has preached and this guy bought in to.
A constant reminder that basically no voter actually knows what is best for the country, and just votes for some retarded reason about party line, race, religion, looks, how well they can speak, what the news says about them, etc. Democracy can be a bitch, especially when basically nobody is actually qualified to vote.
I don't claim to know much more myself - but atleast I am making an effort this last few months to figure out more about the state of our nation, and what the candidates stood for. Heck, a few weeks ago I didn't think McCain would be so bad. Now I think it would be simply awful for this country.
Save the "omg I can't vote for a black" last second scare in the voting booths, this *should* be over, and I pray that enough Americans have progressed to forget about it. Analysts are trying to say "if the race-card was going to come into effect, he wouldn't have won the primary" - they forget he was against a woman, and I fear we haven't truly seen how people feel about this in entirety.

All it takes is an offensive, idiotic, or simply contradictory statement to incite arguement, and therefore discussion, which eventually leads to relevetion which kicks all sorts of ass.
Ryan - for someone that claims to hate stupidity so much, you sure bring a shitload of it to the chat/boards.
*in before Ryan's overused reply #74629 of "I do it because it's FUNNY!"*

Owned.
As for gay parents... I'd rather a child grows up with two wonderful, loving gay parents than in with two abusive straight parents.I agree 100%. Maybe the rule should be abusive parents have to give their kids up to homosexual couples. This would solve child abuse and gay adoption rights all at once.
2. A woman who is raped did not consent to sex, and therefore did not wish to become pregnant. She already lost her choice, and it's sad that some people think she should be "punished" for an act that was out of her control by forcing her to carry the baby to term. Making her go through a pregnancy that she didn't want (and the sex act was nonconsensual) doesn't make sense at all.I keep reading arguments like these and I dont get why this even needs to be mentioned. It implies that there are actually people claiming that abortion isnt acceptable in these circumstances. How can that be real. Surely noone can argue that with a straight face?
Afan can. And he says kill the rapist, not the baby (fetus, whatever.) To be honest, as a supporter of capital punishment I don't really disagree with this though the problem here is the woman has to go through 9+ months of carrying and caring for the baby before she can adopt it.Quote from: the Blueline Goddess2.

Please provide us with a link where people (preferably in an influential position) argue against abortion for rape victims.
Pretty not-cool if you later find out you're a rape-victim-child.Would it be cooler if you never existed?
Would it be cooler if you never existed?imagine he didn't exist. how would you be asking this question then?... to him?
