  1. If they were chosen on merit, there would be a lot more women leaders. Only sexists think they have the right to rule women.
  2. How many women have started wars, genocides or pogroms? How many women have been responsible for religious persecution? No one burned men as witches. I think its high time we gave them a shot because they can't do any worse than men.
  3. A foetus has more rights than a woman. A fertilized egg has more rights than a woman in your world.
  4. Who has been running the world for the past five millennia? Like I said, you want control but no responsibility. One good thing about R vs W being overturned, Republicans will have to take responsibility for the consequences of their actions, they will no longer be able to point at Democrats.
  5. Everyone has rights except women, they are just breeding machines to you guys.
  6. Affluent white people will always be able to get abortions. This will just increase the number of poor people largely minorities..
  7. Men are responsible for most of the worlds problems. You think men should have control but won't take responsibly for what they have done with that control. Truman said, the buck stops here. Now it is, the buck stops anywhere but here.
  8. Witch burning was a Protestant hobby for the most part. Catholics burned heretics, Protestants burned witches and Catholics. Ah, Christianity. The religion of peace.
  9. A few weeks ago I wouldn't have bet a nickel on Trump being charged, now I'm not so sure. The mounting evidence from his own administration may not give the justice department a choice.
  10. Well done Republicans. Public confidence in the Supreme court at record low. 25%, that's 5% lower than its previous low in 1914. Biden's approval ratings look fantastic compared to the SCOTUS. https://nypost.com/2022/06/24/confidence-in-supreme-court-hits-record-low-amid-roe-v-wade/
  11. So why ban them a all? Seems more like the imposition of a particular morality than dealing with an actual problem.
  12. In 2019, 5% of US abortions took place after 15 weeks. 2% after 17 weeks and 1% after 20 weeks.
  13. The atmosphere has no boundaries. Coal is the worst thing you can burn to make power, not just for CO2 but for every toxic emission. Just because you can’t see something doesn’t mean it isn’t killing you. Even oil is better.
  14. That's why the world is so fucked up. You can point at men for everything that is wrong with it. BTW, you have just demonstrates why misogynist applies to you perfectly, Your are the definition of the word.
  15. There are alternatives to burning coal for power in the US. This suit was brought by the coal industry. Go to fucking Beijing and then tell me wanting to get rid of coal is virtue signaling.
  16. You want to dominate women but I am the puritan. That’s absurd all right.
  17. Quit trying to dominate women and no one will call you a misogynist. It's that simple. No shortage of name calling on the right. We are on our way back to the stone age, threatening to "annihilate" people we disagree with. Mankind has just wasted millennia of its time trying to become something better than savages out to annihilate each other. What kind of Christian does that?
  18. Why not just make him dictator, that's what you really want.
  19. So if you don't like breathing coal fumes and you don't like your children having to breath coal fumes, you are woke. Guess I'm woke.
  20. Who were they under attack from? Not women. Men are entitled to more rights than women because they are bigger aholes. That’s not sexist and parochial? Give me a break.
  21. The repression of Hungary was brutal, went to school with a kid who's family risked getting shot as they snuck across the frontier. Soviet tanks in the streets of Prague were not CGI. "The Czechs capitulated" How considerate of them.
  22. True. My last post was somewhat harsh and I think I over reacted. My first reaction was OK, you aren't calling me a baby killer but the the fact remains I am killing babies. That is not a place to start. After re reading it, I realize there was more too 19's post. Whether one is pro choice or not, I don't think anyone should feel "comfortable" about abortion. It has to be a traumatic experience for the great majority of women who do make that decision. I think our present policy of not doing abortions past 20 weeks except for extreme circumstances is reasonable. We can argue about when a fetus becomes a person till the cows come home and not get anywhere, so we have to come up with something that isn't based on ideology. Every person's situation is different and this isn't something that can be micro managed. One thing I am totally not on board with is the idea of prosecuting women who have miscarriages as some of the US trigger laws are doing. The idea that male politicians feel entitled to decide when a woman can be jailed for a miscarriage is totally abhorrent to me. It truly does smack of Handmaidens Tale.
  23. It's Ukrainians getting blasted in their homes, schools and hospitals. This is Russia's mess not America's, there is no case for invading Ukraine.
  24. Wow, you hate the US so you justify what Putin is doing in Ukraine. That's pretty twisted.
