The Isolated Blurt Thread II

Are there any nice Republicans? Maybe a good looking one or someone that's don't something beneficial for other people... even a sexy one? I'm stuck

Are we talking politicians or ordinary people? I know people that vote Republican that would fall under that category. They've just been brain washed by Fox News and other "conservative" media sources into thinking that the government is out to get them, and they are afraid. There's also a lot of propaganda out there that tries to convince them that "Christian morals" = Republican.
 
Careful, y'all.

No politics in The Lounge. Tends to ruin the open bar and free food spreads! :D
 
It's always a good day to stop smoking.

Unless you're trying to help a veteran fighter pilot with PTSD land a plane with the captain, co-pilot, and navigator all violently ill from eating fish for dinner.

Well there's always that... 😄
 
and another thing: when you get a strip of orange between you teeth at lunchtime and you're still trying to suck it out at suppertime and it's driving you crazy. So you end up poking your fingers in there, thinking that somehow a piece of sloppy orange skin will miraculously throw itself between your thumb and forefinger, but in any case your dental geography feels totally different to how it feels to your red raw tongue that has done all the grunt work till now, so you're not even sure you're poking around with the right two teeth for God's sake. So you borrow someone's floss and set to work but all you get is a bit of blood because you're probably flossing in the wrong place because fingers are stupid and tongue knows best but can't communicate directions to your fingers, which is kinda ironical being as you use your tongue to speak but it can't even tell you which frigging teeth are playing hide and seek with that damned orange peel
 
How is it possible for a resolution at the UN to end rape as a weapon of war not mention sexual and reproductive health? When America says so.
 
Have to go to London tmrw and I'm already tense/nervous about it. Pathetic.

ETA Yeay, made it though I now have zero sense of direction, which must be a girl thing cos I used to be good at it. Had to get Google to walk me from place to place but then it was saying walk south-easterly down ... and I'm looking at the sun thinking "Ok the sun is roughly south, so if I keep it on my right I should be heading east" except that on the street surrounded by noise and people and bleah, my brain was going "So which direction am I going?" So walked twice as far as I needed, eventually found the British Museum ( you'd expect it to be bigger not tucked away on a street that runs east if the sun is in your face ) and my legs killing me. Cup of tea. Bed. Hate London

So no more sex in Alabama apart from incest, rape and underage sex - is this true?:confused:
 
No exceptions for those. So just no more sex in Alabama.

Unless you actually want children. Then you can have sex.

wonder how many of those guys who are all for this bill going into effect will be happy if their sexual partners refuse to have sex with them in case they get pregnant.... seems fair; after all, a condom can split, birth control may fail for other reasons, and the woman might not want to carry a baby so there you have it. a woman has the right to tell them no sex but has to carry the resulting pregnancy if it's forced upon them with violence and/or coercion, incestuously or not.

well fuck that. women get to decide when and with whom they have sex on an equal footing with men

this bill forces thinking back 50 years to when men got to determine when a woman was allowed to have sex and how much she'd be shunned and ostracised if she went against convention and ''got herself pregnant''.

do modern women, even those republican ones, REALLY want to be in a position of having to throw their daughters out on the street if they get pregnant as a teen or out of wedlock? do they want to have to take on the care of an infant so their child might go on to finish her education, when they've busy work-lives, themselves? is it just acceptable if the babies are looked after by staff (wallets depending) or is it a return of shipping out the pregnant girl to an 'auntie' till she has the baby and then returns after a suitably-timed 'vacation' as if nothing had happened? are women simply going to return to the old days of backstreet abortions? i don't see it happening; i hope i'm right. too many women of today have made their own choices for too long to allow this to happen, and too many decided to opt for abortion themselves for all manner of reasons to be so judgmental of other women in difficult situations.

edit: adding, i am also well-aware that this bill affects women of a wide age-range, not just teen mothers. is the state going to provide medically for the baby born with severe complications, mentally or physically? :mad:

25 men. All 25 yes votes were men. I find that... interesting.

These 25 men (and the one woman who signed it into law) just gave more rights to rapists and molesters than to their victims.
