Referring to a woman as a "bitch" in that way isn't just insulting or "making fun" (things which, though sometimes tasteless, are kind of harmless). It's quite sexist and misogynistic. It's not really ok at all, actually. Plus it's not just "offensive to some", it's offensive to like, half. In...
Yeah, this. I guess I'm in favour of anything that gets this message across effectively. This bullshit is going too far.
(Personally, I don't know how I would go about getting that message across if I was a US politician, beyond throwing a tantrum and flinging abuse/bits of my lunch/sharp...
Like I said, I don't know whether or not this is well-advised (in fact, I would agree with you; it probably isn't)...I can just understand why some people feel like serious politics and debate are getting them nowhere. That may or may not be true, it's just an understandable sentiment...
To be fair, it seems like they've tried to address these issues in a calm, reasonable, logical fashion, without much success.
I'm not saying this is any kind of way to get things done, it's just that I can understand why someone living in the US who opposes this level of invasion into the...
That's shit. That's just completely ****ing sick. I mean, the whole idea that some women don't have to listen to that crap because their abortions are for, like, better reasons or something......that's just completely....****ed. It's like they're openly coming out and saying "yeah we're not...
Merry-go-rounds are awesome, shut up everybody. And crosswords can get pretty exciting too...my family gets fairly competitive over the Saturday Irish Times one.
But it actually works! It can pick up a signal even without an aerial connected to it (I live on a hill). And even if I don't end up using it as a tv, it's pretty. And vintage. I'll find something to do with it.
Hehehe when I was learning to drive, I used to go out to this industrial park outside the city, and there was this little green area, and every time I drove past it I'd see at least five bunnies frolicking around the place. It turned me into a complete hazard on the road, I can tell you. I'd be...
Of course bunnies have souls! Cue cute little bunny picture:
I probably have slightly more respect for the wild, tawny breed of bunny than the very clean white ones you usually see as pets though.
Yeah that's the one positive thing I've taken from this. Sometimes what it takes for an issue to get noticed is for some idiot to just completely and irreversibly cross the line, which is what Limbaugh has done here.
What's sad is the watery republican response to these hateful...
CHANGE! AAAARGH whatdoidowhatdoido I'm so confused please help me I think I wandered in here by mistake or something.
Like that time in the Musee d'Orsay when I was walking out of the ladies room while texting somebody and walked straight into the men's without realising and then looked up and...
Heh, this is one of those arguments where I feel like if we kept at it for long enough, we'd both end up saying the same thing.
Anyway, this is a massive derailment...I should manage my own threads better in future :)
To get back on topic, Rush Limbaugh "apologised" or at least, he said that...
a) Contraception isn't a luxury
b) It IS needed!
Suggesting that contraception is a luxury only available to the well-heeled puts a massive imposition on the reproductive rights of lots of women. What's a woman supposed to do if she's struggling to earn enough money to feed herself, not to...
