A country in shambles, under GOP rule

Efforts to blame Democrats for the country's deep woes assume deep stupidity on the part of the glorified Regular Voter.

    Retzilian re: Heru-ur in the minefield

    If so, imagine the vast majority of the rest of your male friends answering that question.

    I have always been of the firm belief that, all other things being equal, if men were the ones who risked pregnancy with every sexual encounter, we would already have foolproof birth control and abortion would be a non-issue.

    A woman has the choice to use birth control or even to not engage in sex -- she has a lot of choice before the act that produces children --- and seems to surprise everyone. (need more education on that score)

    Sexual violence is not a fantasy concocted by wild-eyed feminists. It just astounds me that someone who can rail coherently about the violence perpetrated against "brown people" is totally oblivious to violence perpetrated using a part of his own anatomy.

    "need more education" doesn't even begin to cover it.....
