  • Absolutely understand, and while it’s hard for me to believe that anyone doesn’t know about condoms, a religious person who chooses abortion over condoms really makes me scratch my head.

    But I guess you mean a kid living in a “religious” household. Man, I wish there was a way to communicate to kids that feeling your old enough for sex means feeling you’re old enough to make good decisions about preventing pregnancy.

    I mean frankly the whole thing’s just too damn big for me. My heart goes out to everyone who finds themselves with these kinds of choices.

    I know I’m probably wrong here, and I’m willing to be better informed, but I don’t like the phrasing of abortion as mere “birth control,” as if it were equal to methods that prevent conception or implantation.

    Do people really feel it’s not a different sort of act, or would people be comfortable using abortion as their sole means of birth control (if it were safe and inconsequential to the woman)? And yes, I understand that the morning after pill is something of a gray area.

    Also yes, I am a Christian. But I understand that there are good reasons for abortion remaining legal.










  • What happened to my needs being primary and the device being secondary, serving me? The device is not primary, it does not have rights. Sales is transferring rights from one person or entity to another, for their use, no strings attached. We have completely upended the primary idea of commerce.

    Perhaps some Ferengi-style Rules of Acquisition are in order. And some kind of death penalty for CEOs may help.



  • You are fucking right, but the excuse-makers keep claiming “we’re not as shitty” is the winning path. No effort politics, and blame the voters when you lose.

    Fuck the people who blame people who had a few seconds of involvement, over people who had millions of dollars and television and resources we can’t dream of and didn’t do shit.

    I will be proud to stand with you and take the downvotes of them.
