WTF? jdsm_fls November 20 2006, 01:07:11 UTC

How does birth control demean women and degrade human sexuality? And how is it adverse to human health and happiness? Because it allows women to have sex without getting knocked up it degrades us? And sex is soley for procreation and having sex for any other purpose is degrading? I can kindof get how it hurts our health, what with the side affects and all. But come on!

I just don't get it. And as for those holy rollers, well, they don't want birth control but they can't handle all those "unwed mothers."

I truly hope this philosophy was from the organization and not this guy. And I hope this guy has seen enough crack babies to realize we need MORE birth control. This "Christian idea" of abstinence doesn't work, especially not in a country full of heathens. (hehe)

One good thing I can say for the commies taking over Congress is, maybe just maybe, they will consider my plan of putting birth control in the water supply.

You and the damned commies. Not everyone can be right wing fascist republicans, missy! (You totally love me.)

I don't get it either. This was a pretty big WTF moment for me, too. I don't even understand how this reasoning can be compelling to ANYONE, Christian or not.

Let me explain jdsm_fls November 20 2006, 06:15:54 UTC

before i offend someone. :) My use of the term communist (aka commie), is not meant to actually describe a communist. I am all for communism, in a world where crappy people don't exist. When I call someone a commie or communist, it is meant to express that person has the direct opposite view of my view. For example, Carter does not like ice cream. I love ice cream. Therefore, whenever we go to the DQ and he doesn't want ice cream, I tell him he is a communist.

I must admit, I stole the use of the term. Ever seen Grumpy Old Men? My ALL TIME FAVORITE MOVIE. The term communist gets thrown around in there quite a bit. Along with my other favorite expression "Crime in Italy."

This concludes my commentary on the use of the term communist. Thank you and good night. :>)

PS - This birth control thing still is puzzling me. If only we could find a way for men to grow a baby and give birth. This would solve all the world's problems.

I'm just busting your balls, lady. :) You didn't offend me, and I really hope I didn't offend you.

And yes, I totally agree. If men gave birth, all of this would be a non-issue. Birth control would be dispensed out of candy machines. It'd be somewhere in between the M&M's and the laffy taffy.
