1. Never question abortion/contraception/gay sex. Less people is always better.
You have no concept here that women are autonomous moral adults entitled to make their own choices about their own bodies.
Your position is authoritarian and oppressive.
2. Never question global warming gloom and doom.
The only serious way to que ...[text shortened]... ink. Never apply critical faculties. Repeat endlessly the idiot slogans promoted by your owners.
You refuse to understand statistical concepts like risk, or the notion that while risk may never be the same as certainty it is certainly important enough to make contingency plans better than hiding your heads in the sand. What these plans should be is of course to be democratically decided, but you are not on the side of democracy, are you?
Other evidence you refuse to accept is that vested interests are working desperately to preserve the illusory asset value of their oil and coal reserves at the expense of , and without concern for, the public good, and the Republicans generally, the Trump administration in particular, are very deeply committed to the antisocial vested interests of the rich.
You are simply in the pocket of vested interests and too weak to use critical thinking. You open alarming articles on the net and go straight for the panic button because you lack the elementary literacy and thinking skills to question what you are told. "
I never said that I questioned that the climate was warming. What I'm saying is, questioning anything that is spoon fed to us about climate change is a big no, no. For example, Trump killing the Paris agreement sentenced us all to doom and gloom, when in reality, the agreement was pure fluff and meant next to nothing in terms of reducing carbon emissions. In fact, you fail to understand the money making schemes politicians create to benefit from climate legislation as these same people continue to live jet set lives and live in multiple mansions they heat and cool and drive around in SUV's as they preach to the rest of the world to limit their carbon emission use. From the way they live, they don't act like they believe what they preach.

Again the key is not government - that is unavoidable - nor expansion - the Right is keen to continue with corporate welfare and militarism, just not to invest in US citizens. All this "small government" talk is pure baloney and you fall for it every time. Sucker.

That is why trying to keep things in the private sector is useful. At least government presides over them and has the opportunity to correct their abuses. However, with government there is no correction, no reform, just more and more grabbing of power without accountability.
Just look at what is in power now. Who is accountable to who?
Trump is a snow flake compared to what is to come.

The whole issue of abortion is that a baby is still a baby inside the womb. Granted, the Birth Fairy has not swung by to wave her magic wand over the infant to make them human yet ...[text shortened]... hink you get what I'm saying anyway.
Genocide is what is oppressive and authoritarian dingus.
For every woman dying of childbirth related complications in Sweden, six women die in the USA. Numbers are falling in most countries but rising significantly in the USA. Childbirth is not safe and simple in even the best societies, and the USA is among the very WORST, so a society that refuses to address the specific health risks faced by women is by any standards sick in the head.
Maybe it's time you stopped baptising your sperm every night in a lengthy onanistic ritual and began saving women's lives.
[Actually the statistics are horrifying and it is time you American Taliban got put in your proper place by women voters over there.]

Your reasoning is so weird it is sometimes a wonder.

America's number 1 mass murderer was an abortion doctor by the name of Gosnell, something you will never hear about in the PC press.
Originally posted by @whodeyWhat about this possibility - that is not nothing. A country with such excessive mortality among women in pregnancy and childbirth has a health scandal on its hands.
That's nothing.
