I guess the truck driver makes a pro-choice argument here. Unusual for GOP.

That's the thing. I feel like the extremists among the GOP want no abortions, are against sexual education in schools, and against contraceptives covered by health insurance. Either abstain from sex, and if you can't - suffer the consequences YOU WHORE.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Sex is for married people.

We've talked about this before. They were a lot more for abortions when it only involved married women getting them.

You're talking about a situation that has never existed.

And once the baby is born, the mother and the baby are on their own. Paid parental leave or state healthcare for mothers and babies are obviously communism.

Didn't expect my sisters to put up a quote by Noam Chomsky, but here we are :lol:

Well, Chomsky isn't arguing for a particular ideology, but rather for radicalism, or "shifting the Overton window" in current Languishian.  :P

Well, I suppose the entire two party system is covered by his quote and the "political debate" serves to perpetuate the current capitalist society where politics is run by big business and not people's interests.

I tried to find a source for the Ian Watson quote (the picture is a theater professor at a US university of that name), but have been unable to find one. :hmm:

Is the Watson quote about the "war on drugs"? 😉

I think it was more about the Trump Administration.

Was baby milk something there was a run on?
I do find it fitting that a product designed for a unfortunate minority but widely used by a much larger group of selfish arse holes would run low.

And sometimes the invective over mask-selfishness negates itself, such as in this gem from CNN:

Quote"I did what I had to do," McCullough told CNN. "Now, these people who are making this selfish decision are going to make me suffer the consequences."

Sure, anti-maskers are whiny babies, but way to shoot your argument in the foot.
