Thing is, people can get really dangerous when they are desperate. That's the part I'm worried about.
Uh-huh. Some conservatives think Obama has to be stopped before he destroys the US in his second term. So if Obama does get a second term....
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
What's been really shocking to me over the last couple of days is that a lot of these dudes think you take one pill every time you have sex. They think...
They think that's how birth control works, that all of these "sluts" are taking hundreds of birth control pills every month because they have to take one right before sex.
And they're LEGISLATING this stuff.
I don't understand why they don't know how this works. And people everywhere are HORRIFIED.
It's kind of like, have you ever had an acquaintance that you suspected was sort of a dick, and then you're at a party or something and the person just goes off on a deeply racist/sexist rant, expecting everyone to agree, and you're all just sort of embarrassed for him/her? And you don't know what to do but step away?
It's like this is happening on a grand scale.

Y'all are giving me flashbacks to whatever history class covered the ancient regime. Yikes.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
They think that's how birth control works, that all of these "sluts" are taking hundreds of birth control pills every month because they have to take one right before sex.
Really? They think that? I... really? *BOGGLE*

I have been afraid of assassination attempts since the election. I'm very surprised some loon hasn't made the attempt.
Though I imagine the Secret Service is as aware of the loons as I am.

Allyson,
are you sure they think that or they are playing dumb? That is certainly the implication in the kinds of questions they are asking, but it did not occur to me they actually THOUGHT that. You know, maybe they are that ignorant. They think BC pills work like viagra.

Wait, what? They have to be just saying that for the sound bite (or electrons, whatever). No one can be that stupid.
t edit le nubian and I have the cross-post of incredulity.

Limbaugh thinks that... or is pretending to.
Also, don't google what Limbaugh has said on this subject if you don't want to raise your blood pressure.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
No one can be that stupid.
I've learned through bitter experience to never ever say that. I also learned to avoid the related assertion: "They can't be that nuts."

That seems to be what Rush Limbaugh thinks: [link] I use the word "thinks" advisedly. As Calvin said, "It's hard to be religious when certain people are never incinerated by bolts of lightning."
