Senate Derp, DERP. Derpitimus Maximus. Derpity deeeeeeerp...

Where does it say he wants rapists to be able to sue?

 

Yeah, that source doesn't indicate such a thing. Which, yeah, I think that's a bridge too far for even someone like Paul Ryan. Nobody with any hope whatsoever of national office is going to align themselves with rapists over rape victims. I mean, surely.

 

Don't be so sure, Ryan's from the same party that had Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin as a 'serious' candidate for Senate.

 

Honestly Republicans should know by now not to say or mention anything related to women. No matter what they say, positive or negative, it'll come back to bite them.

 

Maybe she meant this implication of that bill

http://jezebel.com/5934975/paul-rya...w-rapists-to-stop-their-victims-from-aborting

 

That sounds like bull to me. The bill would outlaw abortions so why would a rapist need to sue?

 

I think it was more that they could sue to stop the woman from going to a state that would allow for it. And there's already ridiculous things like rapists filing for visitation time or rape victims being forced to pay child support.

 

That is ******* insane. Anyone who would argue that such things should be allowed is reprehensible.

 

*headdesk*

 

On behalf of my religion I'd like to apologize for that. As penance I shall slam my head into a wooden plank Monty Python style 1,000 times. Then at church tomorrow I will be sure to bring this up as and educate my sunday school class on why that is a stupid statement.

Though you have to understand, for some they literally can't conceive of anyone not having the Christian worldview and mindset. If your not a Christian, to them the only reason must be because you love and worship Satan. They can't comprehend any other reason, they can't envision not having that mindset. And it doesn't help that so many fortress up in Church and never go out into the 'real' world.

Which is also why Missions in North America is failing, Christians for the most part have no idea how to communicate with non-christians.

 

"To most women, Paul Ryan's ideas are pretty much the political equivalent of menstruating forever."

 

I know at least one or two athiests who'd probably rip that Facebooker a new one for that comment.

 

Oh wow that Facebook post is just incredible. What a tool.

 

Pointed out on facebook: Conservapedia e=mc^2

E=mc² is Einstein's famous formula which asserts that the energy (E) which makes up the matter in any body is equal to the square of the speed of light (c²) times the mass (m) of that body.[1] It is a statement that purports to relate all matter to energy. In fact, no theory has successfully unified the laws governing mass (i.e., gravity) with the laws governing light (i.e., electromagnetism), and numerous attempts to derive E=mc² in general from first principles have failed. Political pressure, however, has since made it impossible for anyone pursuing an academic career in science to even question the validity of this nonsensical equation. Simply put, E=mc² is liberal claptrap.

 

Fixed.

 

Biblical Scientific Foreknowledge predicts that a unified theory of all the laws of physics is impossible, because light and matter were created at different times, in different ways, as described in the Book of Genesis.

You are frigging kidding me.

 

Houston Councilman rejects money for vaccines; claims people do not die from the flu.

I can't. I really can't with this.

 

Can we just lock all of the anti-vaxers in a room somewhere with smallpox? Those that survive will be taught the value of vaccines. Those that don't...well...no big loss.

 

It'd be nice, but I'd worry about any disease we give anti - vaxxers mutating and then one of them escaping and passing it along, potentially causing an epidemic.

 

That's why you bury the room deep, deep underground.

 

Today's leftderp: left-wing columnist comes up with the batpoop crazy claim that the 2nd Amendment was created in order to preserve slavery:
http://truth-out.org/news/item/13890-the-second-amendment-was-ratified-to-preserve-slavery

Look, it's one thing to be for gun control; it's another to try to back up your beliefs with bizarre historical revisionism in an attempt to create a 2nd Amendment supporter = slavery meme.

In related leftderp/gun control news, a Virginia Democratic State Representative thought it would be a great idea to make his point about the need for gun control by waving around an (actual, real, not-a-toy) AK-47 on the floor of the Virginia House of Delegates:

Now that's some good derp!

 

What exactly does this prove? That there are a lot of idiots on Facebook? I knew that already. The list of people on Facebook who aren't idiots would probably be shorter.

Looking to Facebook comments to find opposing arguments to demolish is a form of cherry-picking; and one that anyone from any side of the political fence could do. Criticizing the other side's leaders or commentators is perfectly valid; going out and looking for the dumbest people on a social media site who disagree with you just so you can complain about them seems to me to be more masochistic than anything else.

 

I think you're reading way too much into this thread and politicizing what isn't there...
