Right, it's all the Republicans fault again. Can you find a better argument than that tired kool aid argument? No one is responsible for their actions! It's those damn Republicans! They made me do it!

Once again, no one is responsible for their own actions, it's always entirely someone else's fault.

Let's put it simply. People who don't understand how contraception works get pregnant. Republicans don't want schools to teach people how contraception works. This increases the number of unwanted pregnancies. Increasing the number of unwanted pregnancies increases the number of abortions.

Since you obviously don't read, or are just very bad at comprehension, let me point out something: That website I linked to, it's from the House Oversight committee.

And let me just quote the very first fucking paragraph:

I'm not even going to comment on whether it should be taught or not. I don't really care. That, to me, is the parents job - not the schools.

I will say condoms are not a 100% way of preventing sexually transmitted diseases. Abstinence is. If you really want a 100% sure way to keep from getting it, you shouldn't have sex. Not the fun option, but it's the safest.

No where can you point to me that it's the Republicans fault that there are high rates of abortions. You are only speculating and cannot prove it with any real scientific evidence.

Kids need schools to learn how sex works? I didn't. Kids are that stupid these days?

No matter how the Republicans try, I don't see how they will not learn about it regardless. Those damn Republicans.

Teacher? How does sex work? :lol

You think kids are really that ignorant in this day and age of the internet?

A map of 269 EC votes that's 'likely' or more is pretty awesome though. It really comes down to keeping PA and NH safe (and getting VA for ultimate hilarity).

I think he does. Voter registration is going through the roof. And just as importantly, McCain is having to shift resources there to defend it - and forcing McCain to spread out to defend traditional red states was part of Obama's plan all along. :D

I have no crystal ball, so I cannot foresee the outcome of a bailout. Will it be beneficial or just fuck us over more in the end? I have no idea.

I'd agree on the 2nd point if it wasn't for the fact that not addressing some of those issues is part of the reason the economy is the way it is. Some of the plans are crucial to our economy progressing (energy, for instance), and Obama's going to get looked at just as bad, if not worse, if he doesn't do anything. Also, since when has a huge deficit stopped us from spending, even under a Democratic president?
Click to expand...

Well it's just that there is no way he can spend on top of the projected deficit. So you'd think it would be 4 years of deficit management.

I really wish that the US didn't have to delay for at least four years massive investment in renewable energy development. The implications are so important. Any delay will simply allow China, Europe, and others, to get a major and probably permanent head-start.

EDIT: Tucker always gets it handed to him by hot reporters. I think they pair him up with them on purpose! :lol

I hope if obama gets in he attempts to get done what needs to be done and leaves the republicans for once to balance shit out when it's their turn.

Ether Snake obama can just borrow from China like the republicans did, not a good thing yet what's to really stop him? At least this way the money won't be going for shit and he can sweeten the deal promising to ship out some of that energy tech shit their way. They think money and what easier way to save money than energy efficiency?

I said "some" speculawyer. Some. Do you know what "some" means? I believe I almost always qualified the statement with "some".

I was never being intentionally misleading. Your inability to comprehend simple statements is clearly not my problem.

I'm guessing you are simply over sensitive to the subject because you have such strong convictions and you are only seeing what you want to see. Kind of like your stupid ass argument about Iraq shouldn't be buying F-16s because they clearly don't need them. You are so blinded by your ideology, it's like you are cross eyed.

I mean specifically that they don't teach contraception. Understanding where to get and how to use contraception is not something that comes naturally. And you are assuming a lot about a country where only 71% can locate the Pacific Ocean on a map.

Can they identify where their genitalia are? I bet they can identify that. I bet they can identify a contraceptive as well. I still am not buying the argument that kids in this day and age are that fucking stupid.

I bet at least most of them can read the directions on a condom wrapper. It's not fucking rocket science.

And even 'some people use it as a form of birth control' would be misleading when the real number that actually intentionally do that has got to be very very small.


I was never being intentionally misleading. Your inability to comprehend simple statements is clearly not my problem.

You do mean to be intentionally misleading when you take the common phrase 'birth control' and instead break up the phrase and interpret the two words literally.

I'm guessing you are simply over sensitive to the subject because you have such strong convictions and you are only seeing what you want to see. Kind of like your stupid ass argument about Iraq shouldn't be buying F-16s because they clearly don't need them. You are so blinded by your ideology, it's like you are cross eyed.

Yes . . . I am sensitive about the subject. I don't like suffering children. Millions of children die of starvation and disease each year and that really really really bothers me. I don't want that to happen. So I think it is very good policy to prevent unwanted births. I don't understand why other people are not bothered by dying children.

You think the majority of the poorer kids fucking and having kids are reading all about sex on the internet? Maybe they just want to bone a chick and can't be damned with reading labels?

Hell, why do we have schools publicly funded by our government? Hell, if a kid wants to learn about math they can go to the internet!

It's a hard decision, to be sure. We've already lost a lot of stuff that could've been a boon for us in the economy. We could've been leaders in stem cell research, but thanks to the Bush administration, we lost that to Singapore and I doubt we'll catch up. There's a lot of technologies, energy and otherwise that could help us.

Right now, I'd rather he borrow more, even if it puts us further into the deficit for now. Not only because we don't need to give these countries a head start, but because we need to tend to our own yard. The good news is, Obama's a relatively fiscally smart guy. His UHC plan would cost about $60 billion a year, which is pennies compared to the Iraq war and the bailout. So some of these plans might be small enough in cost to make it.

So, I dunno. I hope he gets to do this stuff, because a lot of it would genuinely help. Right now, things are too vague to really make a decision.

Really? Well guess what . . . they are pretty stupid and could use some education. Someone just told me:
Of women having abortions,
* 46% did not use contraception during the month they became pregnant
* 8% never used a method of birth control
