Gravitymaster 0 #27 June 14, 2013 quade***Well, he was a crappy president. We're still paying for his mistakes. Now, now. Let's be fair. He was an excellent spokesman. Always read what GE put in front of him. Always told Bonzo when to go to bed if the script said for him to do it. I've heard he was so stupid, he sometimes had to use a teleprompter. What an idiot.

rehmwa 2 #32 June 14, 2013 Andy9o8 It's about destructive teammates whose stupidity fucks over the whole team. This is truth - these dinosaurs need to go out to pasture. If they don't, even stupider people will continue to paint 50% of the population with this same brush. Stupidity piled on stupidity. With the result being a bankrupt country run by people with more subtle prejudices and no pride at all. ...

Gravitymaster 0 #34 June 14, 2013 He wasn't talking about the rate of pregnancy being low, he was talking about the incident. In other words, he wasn't saying pregnancies from rape don't happen as Todd Akins said, he just said pregnancies from rape don't happen very often. Completely different from what Akins said. Of course we know the Left-wingers want so badly to jump on something to distract attention from a failed Presidency. but this isn't going anywhere and those who equate this with Akins comments are being spun. He was trying to state that pregnancies from rape that result in the mother deciding to abort after the sixth month begins are very, very rare. Left-wingers have completely ignored that he was referring to a bill that would ban abortion after 6 months. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kallend 2,146 #35 June 14, 2013 rushmc***Dude. Don't take my word for it; listen to Gov. Jindal, a leader of your own team. Your player fucked up. He ain't got game. Cut him. I have learned very fast that when the left says cut them, we have a winner (so to speak) How many of the foot-in-mouth Republicans won election or re-election last November? Your definition of "winner" is unusual to say the least.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkyDekker 1,465 #38 June 14, 2013 According to Wikipedia there were 84,767 recorded rapes in the US in 2010. 16% of rapes are recorded. Makes a total of 529,794. At a 5% rate of pregnancy, that's 26,489 children conceived due to rape. Might be a low percentage, but that is a lot of kids. As a side note and somewhat off topic, but maybe if you allowed the occasional boobie on TV, Americans wouldn't have such a penchant for rape. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clue: Rape ain't about sex. no,no, you obviously mis-understood his comment. Clearly rape is a direct result of being an American and having an American culture (odd statement really since it's a multitude of cultures). You can tell, because it only happens in America. (However, I am in complete support of his proposal to allow more boobies on TV, and, frankly, anywhere else. Provided they are nice ones - I'll be the judge of it. However, since 100% of Americans are fat, I suspect that allowance would backfire pretty bad.) Those damn Americans. ...

Bolas 5 #46 June 14, 2013 I wouldn't care if a politician was clueless about something if they weren't trying to make laws on it. Repubs, can we drop the whole abortion ban/control issue and just let women decide for themselves? Then you can say anything you want about it. If ya want to believe that if a woman prays hard enough afterwards, she can keep from getting pregnant or disease, go for it.Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.
