Bachmann Can't Pony Up

[Shell B]

No, i got that part, and if your kids and my kids ever did the dirty they'd be happy and healthy (and fabulous), however, that's an exchange between two people who have been immunized. Those that are not run the risk of reintroducing a more aggressive form of same said virus that is not affected by our fabulous children's immunity. There is no certainty that this new virus would be limited to the means of transmission that limited it's predecessors. 15 years into a wonderful marriage and my kid comes down with an "std" from a swig from the wrong beer bottle at reunion party. I'm gonna blame your kid, cause I raised mine right, know what I mean?

I can see your point about it becoming more aggressive, which is where the "raised right" point comes in. Condoms, condoms and more condoms. I think I might even tell my kids, which may or may not ever exist, that I will literally drop off condoms to them if they decide to do the nasty. Now, that being said, your argument could actually be used against vaccinations and for more aggressive means of promoting safe sex. This is where it get hairy because a lot of Christians think safe sex (condoms) is wrong. Now, we can either hope that STDS eventually kill stupid or we can just tell our kids not to fuck Christians.

(I do understand your objection to mandatory vaccinations, I just don't think it's a very safe way to address the issue, given how crowded we are now, and projections for the future, that many potential hosts in such close proximity....People who don't vaccinate their children may as well be pointing a loaded gun at mine)

Which sucks, but viruses are natural population control, as it is. Furthermore, if we're going to be a society of sissy hand-holders then where are we going to draw the line? Because, let's be real, any instance where a political line can be drawn, it will be in this country, regardless of whether people actually believe what they are saying or not. If you want to live in a society where we all agree to force vaccinations on children, then you have to be ready to accept a society that forces other things and takes out at least one of these ridiculous political parties. We either have rights or we don't. You either vaccinate for everything, only things that spread easily through day-to-day contact or nothing.

Er....those unvaccinated masses are exactly the dynamic that Bachmann is aiming at.

The dumber they are the better she likes them....and they her.

Oh, I know. I am not arguing that she is not a fucking idiot. That "vaccines will make your kids retarded" shit was a blatant fucking lie. I do not agree with her as far as telling people not to vaccinate. I simply agree that forcing vaccinations for diseases that do not spread easily through non-sexual touch is too much. We're also not taking into account that children see their pediatricians privately in their teens and can talk to their doctors about the vaccination. They don't have to have it as small children. Sure, the window between sex and potentially being intelligent enough to get the vaccine yourself is large enough for some errors, but stupid parents do not always mean stupid children. They have until their twenties to get vaccinated. Like other diseases, you should see a decrease, whether or not the stupids vaccinate.
