I knew this one chick who had a fetish for anal porn involving women who were about her size and build.

My bad, dude.
Thought it was one large link to the Times.

I think it's horrible that the FOCA makes doctors perform abortion even when it's going against their own religion.
It just pisses me off
If it's passed, I had figured some doctor would sue and it would be rendered unconstitutional to force a doctor to perform an abortion.
Of course, that wouldn't make much of a difference, because the demand for abortions has grown to the point where they are usually performed in abortion clinics. In other words, if a doctor doesn't agree with abortions, he never has to be in that specialty.
The most evil company in the world would definitely have to be Shinra Electric.
Of course, he is a rabid gay-basher... But if Britain is willing to ban him for it, why aren't they banning Sharia?

My favorite anti-9/11-conspiracy site. Basically, he goes through Loose Change point by point and disproves every single point.
Oh, and I have an open question for everyone who believes in a 9/11 conspiracy:
Why are people such as Dylan Avery still alive? If the government was willing to kill thousands of innocent people, why did it not silence a single major conspiracist?
Fun medical fact I picked up a while ago:
One reason female circumcision is so unhealthy is the fact that it is such an altering procedure. In cultures where female circumcision is practiced, the vagina will actually have to be cut open to be usable. This is extremely painful, much more so than an uncircumcised woman losing her virginity, and much of the time, the male just uses a household knife.
Is there even anyone here who supports female circumcision? If not, what the fuck are we arguing about?

No, I don't agree with female circumcison. It provides no significant health benefits, as opposed to male circumcision.

Foreskin is a natural Barrier against bacteria. It protects the Mucus Membrane of the Glans. It's not supposed to be unprotected. Think about all the other Mucuse membranes...inside eye lids, inside mouths, inside vaginas, inside ears...
On the contrary, the foreskin would provide a harbor for a multitude of infections, including many STDs. This explains why the uncircumcised have higher rates of infection than the circumcised.
For example, urinary tract infections are ten times more common in uncircumcised men than circumcised men.
You cannot take the decision for the baby, even if you are their parents. If when he grows up to be belive mutilating his penis is going to stop him getting cancer or Std's then it's his choice.
A parent has every right to a medical procedure that decreases his child's susceptibility to infections.
I'd rather keep my body intact than follow some non specific, arguable data which suggests that you may be at a slight increase in developing Penis Cancer (a very rare cancer anyway) or more at risk from Stds.
The data is highly specific and not arguable. The raw numbers show that circumcision is the healthier choice.
The reduced cancer risk is not a huge benefit, but it still is one. As for sexually transmitted infections, they are not to be played around with. People should take any chance they can get to lower the risk, including circumcision.

I've heard this a few times and since Fli mentioned that a lot of the guys he meets that way are just looking to jump in the sack it seemed a chance to ask.
That's just how it is in the gay community, from what I've heard from one of my best friends back in school (he is gay).
It pissed him off, too. He hated all of the people he deemed fags (slutty and/or girly gays, usually both), and he was always angry because he could never find a boyfriend who wouldn't immediately want sex.
Speaking from experience, I can say that circumcision is cleaner.
Sure, you could argue that if an uncircumcised man cleans regularly, he's alright, but that's not wholly true. Sure, washing properly helps, but the penis is kept inside your pants (a cesspool of infections constantly being fought off) most of the day. So, in order for an uncircumcised man to remain as clean as a circumcised man, he has to wash his penis properly more times per day than once or twice (which is the number of times the circumcised man showers). You'd have to wash your penis an inconvenient number of times per day.
The drawbacks are outweighed by the benefits. The effects the pain on the baby are short-term, and as an adult, the baby loses all memory of the circumcision. As for decrease in sexual pleasure, I don't feel left out at all.
Letting labor unions run a country sounds astonishingly similar to the soviets that preceded the USSR.
Given that notion, I'll have to pass.
I would support this if it was kept out of the market, but new drugs inevitably get to the market due to the fact that if they didn't, there wouldn't be enough money to be made. If this drug gets in the market, it will be an absolute fucking nightmare. With direct-to-consumer advertising in the US, we'll have everyday people making their own decisions on what needs to be erased, which, given the consumer's general idiocy in all things related to psychiatry, is a terrible idea.
Let's look at the similar case of bipolarism diagnoses. From 1996 to 2004 rates of bipolar diagnoses increased about 55% in adults, 295% in adolescents, and increased 440% percent among children. This was because the US legalized direct-to-consumer advertising in 1997, which physicians inevitably capitalized on, thus allowing the consumer to play doctor.
Sure, this is a nice idea: "Let's legalize direct-to-consumer advertising so that word about drugs can get to people who need them." This is also a nice idea, "let's allow the memory wipe pill in the market so that people who need it can get it." However, just as the legalization of direct-to-consumer advertising of psychiatric drugs was warped into the monster it is today, allowing the memory wipe pill into the market will quickly turn out to be a bad idea.

It took less than a year for prices to shoot up to over 100USD then plummet to around 40USD.
I don't think the oil prices now will be relevant to an election 4 years later :P

It just seemed unfair to want to bring so many children into this world if you can't support them. Oh well, maybe she just wanted to set a new record.
She couldn't support them, but Big Brother could.
This is the nasty side effect of the government removing fiscal responsibilities from citizens. You get Octomom, who continues to have children past her financial limits.

One of the main problems is that the Western public, the US to be more specific, has such a giant fucking demand for news.
We don't censor enough (better said, we can't censor enough), and the terrorists know that if they blow up something, it's on the news in hours. Why try to break the arms when you can defeat the US at its core?
I don't think terrorists really intend to destroy the West. They intend to weaken its influence on the Middle Eastern lands they want to take and/or weaken our bonds with Israel, that they may attack Israel.
Now, that's not what their leaders tell the pawns, I'm sure. They brainwash them with Islam and hateful images of the West so that the soldiers only think they're on a mission (the hopelessness of it lost to them) to destroy the West.

We're virtually drunk from the intelligence we get. Should we hire more intelligence analysts instead of rabidly search for obvious hints, we would make a lot more progress.

There's a reason that it's illegal... In the Gilded Age, people with money bought votes left and right, which led to all sorts of scandalous affairs and the non-rich people ultimately getting shafted.

It seems it... But I cut people open to help them... And that is what desensitized me. Other than that, I'm just a guy who works out and collects guns, probably because of growing up in a military town.
Now you, you're just a psycho case.
But I still love you.
While we're rattling off personal problems or ragging on those of others, I would like to note that I enjoy the fact that my job involves cutting people open.
I would also like to note that I am completely desensitized to blood, that I enjoy working out five times a week, and that I collect guns.
Does that make me a secret psycho?
