Election interference

Really? Some of y'all are actually stumped on why our military being paid by private citizens is a bad idea? You need to be told why private money funding our military is a dangerous proposition?
You're joking, right?

They're not joking they are among the morally bankrupt magat scum that have taken over our country.

Yeah. I'm a bit confused as well.
I told some of the military dudes I work with that I can probably cover them if they don't get a paycheck. I know I didn't have a lot of money when I was a Major.

So, which are you willfully stupid or evil?

Let's start with the fact that it is illegal.

Let's move on to the president bypassing congress to spend money.

Let's continue on to the obvious blatant corruption involved with this.

Simply put this is not a way a democracy operates. This is the way an oligarchy and/or king operates.

If you weren't stupid or evil this would be obvious to you.

's a nice gesture, but it probably would have been better to divert the money to USAA. In the past USAA has covered members paychecks during government shut-downs. This time, they are not.

To hold this position one must willfully stupid or evil

Just sayin

Truth hurts

This is the world we live in where superstitious people look down their noses at women living free who think they should be made slaves because they don't respect themselves, all without being able to express a coherent justification.

This bill, is why I hold you and magat scum in such contempt.

this is just an example of the poor thought processes that gave us trump and all the destruction he is wreaking. Your ignorant, superstitious, muddled opinions are literally tearing out country part.

Lamp,
I've already agreed abortion is a choice women should be allowed to make. It's up to her to live with herself.
But it's her choice.
My point is simply the never ending downhill trajectory humanity is on.
The world is all about control, power, control of wealth and thus control of everything else.
Socially, humans are becoming shameless and without conscience.
And that's progress?

More people live in safety and security out of poverty in the history of the world

Most of the problems you see come from 1. theist extremists, 2. hoarding of wealth and 3. fight over limited resources.

Decidedly NOT women having control over their choices

You might have noticed that the majority of stable successful countries have strong women's rights

Truth,
People just rationalize their actions.
That's all this is.

#159 | Posted by BillJohnson

You think this is a point? You think this is profound in ANY way?

This is a nothing statement

You justify EVERYTHING you do

I justify EVERYTHING I do

When are you going to get to the point of saying why that is wrong?

Why is it ANY of your business what a woman does with her body?

Lamp,
"So a man can force a woman to do something that the woman may not want to do?"
How is that any different from a woman deciding a baby doesn't get to live?

#155 | Posted by BillJohnson a

A woman cannot decide a baby doesn't get to live without thus committing murder

When you have to lie to make a point, you lost

You're right, society is rotting and decaying, it started with Reagan and the cult of wealth, started growing with Gingrich and his contract on America and the birth of right wing propaganda swamp, grew strong with W and his wars of aggression finding it's final boss in the hateful leader YOU support who has declared war on half the country.

The one through line is that none of these scum right wing criminals were ever held accountable.

Truth,
"We're not talking the sanctity of life"
There lies the problem.
Society rot and decay.
#152 | Posted by BillJohnson

You have not made one single argument about the sanctity of life.

The essence of your entire posting history on this thread is controlling women because they don't respect themselves to the point you advocate enslaving them.

I, for one, find that NOT sanctifying life.

My point now is that most abortions are simply due to people not respecting the life that was started or themselves.

This is the height of hubris to project onto women that they don't respect life that was started or themselves by making a choice.

Theists and hubris go hand in hand

You have yet to provide a cogent theory as to how any of that is your business

Truth,
I already said I didn't support overturning Rowe v Wade.
My point now is that most abortions are simply due to people not respecting the life that was started or themselves.
It's a bigger issue than just abortion.
It's society tanking and going to the gutter.

#148 | Posted by BillJohnson

You voted for the monster that made that possible, so, umm, --

Society is tanking and going into the gutter because of theists control of ---- hole states, just look at the healthier, wealthier, happier states-they are blue

Man, misogynists suck

"My opinion is, if a man is willing to take responsibility for the child and raise it, he should have the legal right to require her to carry the baby."

You realize that this is slavery, right?

Truth,
"For tens of thousands of years theists have been using this theory to blame women for all the troubles in the world."
Blah, blah, blah.
You don't need to be religious to respect the sanctity of life.

#137 | Posted by BillJohnson

We're not talking the sanctity of life, we are talking about controlling women

Respecting the sanctity of life would involve, pre-natal care, universal healthcare, support for single mothers, daycare, early childhood development, free food in schools, gun control... to name a few things theists generally ignore

Just answer this:
Has it made the world a better place in countries when women are forced to give birth to children they don't want?

#142 | Posted by snoofy

Crime rates plummeted around 18 years after abortion became legal.

Gee, I wonder why

That leaves about 75% of abortions due to convenience or maybe their chosen lifestyle.
This is numbers without all the rationalizing.

#135 | Posted by BillJohnson

Please explain how it is any of your business what a woman does with her body?

@#129 ... The burden is ultimately on women to not make themselves accessible. ...

For 10s of thousands of years theists have been using this "theory" to blame women for all the troubles in the world.

Bill clearly doesn't understand how biology works if he thinks there would be a 3rd kid in his solution.

That alone says a lot.

Truth,
"Destroy women's lives and soon gay people's lives."
The real issue is how little respect liberals actually have for women and how little respect some women have for themselves.
They dress abortion up as "empowerment", but there's nothing empowering about ending a life that depends on you.
That isn't compassion. It's convenience.
If women truly respected themselves, they'd respect the power that comes with creating life and not treat abortion as an easy fix for bad choices.

#126 | Posted by BillJohnson

wow

the unalloyed arrogance of this post is something to behold

Do you know women? a woman? Have you ever bothered to actually get to know a woman?

The hate you hold for women is quite breathtaking. There is no other way to interpret that post.

FWIW bill, abortion is a matter of life and death for women.

At some point you should try getting your mind around the fact that it is none of your business.

You're a theist so that will be hard for you

Point and laugh at the magat scum

Gay marriage threatened-approximately 20 million gay people in America

If Christians really started using the Bible to create law, it would be a mess.

#103 | Posted by BillJohnson

LOLOLOLOLOL

I just can't

If Christians really started using the Bible to live by, it would be a mess.

HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
------- theists

Snoofy,
"So is opposition to gay marriage and abortion."
I support gay marriage. I would have preferred something without the word marriage in it. But, it's here and so I support it.
Also, I disagreed outright with overturning Rowe v Wade...I guess they didn't ask for my opinion.

#104 | Posted by BillJohnson a

So, let's consider the score card so far

RvW gone-there are 196 million women in America
Gay marriage threatened-approximately million gay people in America

Trans people-approximately 2.8 million trans people in America
Trans women-approximately 700,000

So, for a very very very small fraction of incidents (trans women in women's lockerrooms(?) cause bathrooms have stalls, so that is not an issue) to destroy women's lives and soon gay people's lives

Penis/no penis.
Doesn't matter what you believe you are. Stay out of women's areas if you have one.
Problem solved.

#112 | Posted by BillJohnson a

Why?

Seriously. that is the nub of the matter, why?

You can choose to just ignore that, but your stated reason is not sufficient.
