Brainwashed Republican talks about brainwashing...

There are enough abortion threads, just found the one that popped up with a search. Feel free to watch the video and respond or try to find a single post where I wore my religion on my sleeve when it comes to this. AGS has a search feature too. I found the 2007 NC thread quite easily this week.

Slow day in the mortgage market, Brer Hen?

It is January and rates have gone up 0.25% in the last two weeks.

Congrats on reaching 28,000 posts!

You must have made 1,000 of them in the past week.

Denialism and critical thinking obviously go hand-in-hand

Oh wait I'm on CS.com. /ducks

Yes, in a way they do. And the reason is that if you are familiar with the scientific method you know there are limits to the conclusions of climate science. And you know that it's one of those areas where nothing can be inferred with the highest level of confidence. And you know that there is reason to be skeptical about the perception with respect to the precision with which the future climate can be predicted.

Again: Taking the position that "I believe it because the climate scientists say so" is not critical thinking. I guess I can understand it if you're somebody who is not involved in science. It's kind of like if you know nothing about cars you believe the mechanic. But if you have some understanding of the scientific method you know there's a limit to the certainty associated with climate science. It's inherent to the nature of the field.

You're so full of shit that it just has to come out somewhere..

Did you know there is a political forum over at AGS? You should check it out and give us a report in a few years.

Its inherent in the entire universe, John. See Werner Heisenberg.

Haven't watched the video - just scanned the article, but

Hogue stressed that her story is not unique. About 1 in 3 American have abortions by the age of 45, according to Hogue, who said the "majority are mothers just trying to take care of the families they already have."

I suppose that's a misprint? Since 1 in 2 Americans are male....

In the video, she said 1 in 3 American women. But even so, the claim is fiction. There are no accurate stats on this figure, which is somewhat amazing to me. You could probably find the exact number of knee or hip replacements but not abortions?

In any case, the number of abortions is thankfully on the decline and the sentiment towards abortion is still moving towards the pro-life side.

Its always been there. Everybody is pro-life.

It's just my opinion...
I'm wrong a lot (just ask 89Hen)

a lifetime of eating 3500 calories a day is YOUR problem
Just like deciding you want an abortion

Life is expensive when you make bad choices

I hear you. That's why I hate the idea of legalizing marijuana with an Affordable Care Act that requires all to participate in the cost of it.

I hate the idea of having any laws about it one way or the other. It's a fucking plant. Eat oleander and you'll die but no regs for oleander. That's one of the worst things about having a country settled by religious freaks - they always go after anything fun.

Late breaking: A young musician friend of mine informs that the new name for gathering with friends at 4:20 to interact socially over some marijuana is now called a Jeff session.

"Jeffin' " is synonymous with "chiefin' " for those of you too old to keep up.

[houndawg]

I'm all for anybody living there life as they sit fit so as long as they hurt nobody.

We've got another pro-life advocate.

That would include all neo-pagans. The fastest growing religion in the nation.


That ye harm no other, do what ye will.

If a woman is pregnant, she's not a mother yet. Do pregnant women celebrate Mother's Day?

That's a new one on me. So if a woman doesn't celebrate Mother's Day she can kill her child. Gotcha.

It wouldn't seem strange to you if you had a mother.

[houndawg]

Ah yes, very enlightened
So the man gets to decide

If he can lose 50% or more in a divorce I thinks its only fair he gets to have 50% say in keeping his child from being murdered. We want equality in this country dont we?

I didnt know you were such a yuppie barbarian?

It probably isn't your kid.

And Flaggy...italian food every bit as harmful as weed.

I just asked my 95 year old mother if you are right about Italian food. She said, "That's just plain wrong. Oh, and aren't you late for school?"

Does she at least remember to give you your allowance?

Nice. I'll give that a try.

Pro-life and pro-choice are not mutually exclusive terms.

So has everyone who is pro-choice... because it's a stupid position.

[89Hen]

BTW, I didn't think any of you would have the guts to take on the video.

Guts? No, Spandos just not masochistic enough to watch an hour of Crowder.

I listened to a 3 hour conversation with him on the Joe Rogan Experience. He’s just not that smart.

So you'll listen to three hours, but not 50 minutes?

A broken clock is right twice a day. Give it a shot.
