The whole article here. |
That bomb "graphic" was literally the most childish thing I've ever seen in international politics, and politics is pretty childish enough as it is. That racist asshole should be ashamed of himself, at least put up a substantive and informative chart with stats and numbers, not some cartoon. What a joke. Israeli and ALL Jewish people should rightfully be ashamed of such blatant fear-mongering..

and that was when with which "feminists"? I think this canard is more a religious nut's idea.

That was the
radical Black and Chicana feminism of the 1960s and 1970s long before the Democratic party brainwashed women.
'll tell you like my poppa told me
Stay sucka free and fuck the police
What you know about honor, respect and loyalty?
What you know about the father, Che and Huey P?
What you know about being hung, stabbed in the grill?
Nothing cuz you don't know about the youngins on the hill
On the real, all these fake thugs know the deal
When we start the revolution, all they probably do is squeal
I told you, its not about religion. I don't impose my Faith on anyone. In our society, is murder ok? What about stealing? Those are universal norms which have little do with one's religion, it is just common decency which atheists and religious folks alike agree with. Sometimes the atheist crowd is even MORE vindictive than the religious folks, the Gospel says to love you enemies and visit the guilty in prison, some atheists believe in eye for an eye more than Bible thumpers.
My beef with abortion is cultural, philosophical, and deeply personal. Again, I accept that it is not going away, but what I can't for the life of me understand is why can't as a society we have a substantive dialogue? Why can't we have mutual compromises? If folks like myself compromise and accept abortion as a practical reality in our society, can't abortion folks compromise and respect folks like me's sentiments for the youth? If you read my criticisms it is about unabated and unrestricted abortion, not abortion in general. I personally feel that teenage girls should not be allowed to have abortion without adult consent (it doesn't have to be parents though I'd prefer that) and further I feel that there is no harm in having a mandatory waiting period for folks to sleep on the decision? Can't be a mature society and discuss these matters without relying on fear-mongering, hyperbole, or vilifying? I am not trying to demonize abortion, I am just trying to be reasonable and further express my serious and well grounded concerns about the young adults in our society.
But you know what, like Tupac said, "Fuck the world if they can't adjust, its just as well Hail Mary."
