RE: Random Thoughts
Message to antichoice morons 

1. Abortion IS taking responsibility.

2. Women's sexual freedoms SHOULD not be reduced because of the possibility of pregnancy.

3. Society HAS a vested interest in helping single mothers and children without fathers. 

4. Forcing fathers to stay will NOT make them good fathers nor make them care about their children.

5. Asking for help IS taking responsibility as is putting a child up for adoption.

RE: Random Thoughts
A really really dumb argument from a right-winger. So let's break this down.



Quote:I can sympathize with people that are in that position
Just not enough sympathy to be inconvenienced 


Quote:, but why should the government take from someone else
It's not taking. It's contributing to the society you are a part of. You are the government.



Quote:to pay for someone else’s poor choices.
You're not paying to make sure a child winds up a productive member of society rather than an issue.



Quote:  You should rely on your family if you are struggling. 
So instead of burdening the government, you should burden your family instead Hilarious



Quote: Government dependency isn’t going to solve the problem
Your confusing dependency of simply helping and that's just an assertion.

People are losing the meaning of the Ides of March.

It's not just about stabbing.

It's about coming together to stab in groups.

That's a terrific observation. Political unity in action.

I think, when it comes to the Repubs, a German-style night of the long knives is required.

I got my first Nokia cellphone in 2001. Certainly, the cellphones were around when Gilmore Girls was on the air in 2000, but no one has a cellphone. I wonder when they'll first appear in the show that lasted seven seasons.

I got mine in 1999. 

Still have it.

Non-functional of course. No carrier supports analog phones...

I took a trip to Turkey in 1999 to see the eclipse. At the time, very few people in the US had cell phones, but they were very common in Turkey.

It seems that the US is often the last to adopt new technologies.

I wonder why?

Size.

Turkey is 300k sq miles.

US is 3.8m sq miles.

Think it might take just a few more cell towers to get 100 percent coverage in the US?

Most people don' t want a service that works in 
" select areas only".
