If the rumor was out there that women were going to start pelting the legislature with their tampons and pads? I think they were justified. What's the big deal?

First, do you know how much that stuff costs?? :lol: Second, what menstruating woman wants to be stuck in public without a fresh tampon. If it's a long meeting, there could have been a lot of butts showing bloody seepage.

Third, and most important of all, they had no right to confiscate personal property. They were so worried about being pelted with a tampon but didn't have any fear of being pelted by a bullet when most of the people in the room sauntered in with firearms.

This is flat loopy, and makes the legislators look like a bunch of woman-hating freakazoids. :lol:

Screw Godwin and his law. Nazism is an excellent example of the point. It fits perfectly. Godwin and his so called law sucks.

When demonization is all you have left, you have already lost the argument. You frequently turn to demonization.

First, there is nothing wrong with political demonization for those that deserve it. And perhaps you want to spare the Nazi's - but I will not.

Second, what does that have to do with me disproving your point with actual examples from history?

Insinuating veiled sympathy for Nazis. This is how one debates?

Second, you havent proved that in this instance that they are deserving demonization, yet you have already reached for that tool.

So demonizing people like the Nazi's who deserve to be demonized somehow rubs you the wrong way it seems.

Are you truly unaware of what you did? You just tossed up Nazis and offered up a comparison to demonization of groups here. IE Godwin's law.

Then you try to twist it to mean sympathy for Nazism. Dude, thats just a damned slimy thing to do.

The Nazi's were used as an illustration of a group which DID NOT HAVE the assumed spread of both good and bad in them as another poster asserted and claimed.

But you would have know that if you tried to reproduce the post as your evidence.

from my post 117 in which the Nazi reference was made

I strongly suspect that good and bad are NOT spread equal among all groups as history gives us some really bad groups like the Nazi's which skew that towards the evil side.

No mention of your precious Republicans.

The connections seems to have NOT been made by me but only IN YOUR OWN MIND. Otherwise you would have no trouble reproducing it and so far you have come up with nothing but your own rationalizations based on your own conclusions based on your own beliefs.

My honest hope is that one day you will learn that people are people and every group has the same distribution of good and bad.

YOu were caught making this up as you went along and that is why you were unable to offer any evidence of your charge against me.

It's pretty unbelievable that partisans have the balls to accuse anyone of bigotry.

Anyway, if you're done repeating yourself and spamming smilies, feel free to go back to explaining to everyone how evil the right is. My honest hope is that one day you will learn that people are people and every group has the same distribution of good and bad.

Bolded indicates you are wrong. Be more forthright and offer the entire quote next time instead of taking it out of context please.

Thats why you dont bring Nazis into an internet thread, it taints every argument around it, including yours. Good day.

News bulletin; The Nazi's were real. They existed. They are perfect examples of some evil things and they deserve to be use when it is fitting and right and in this case it was perfect. I will continue to use them no matter how much it may bother or even offend some on the far right here.

Now you were caught red handed accusing me of something and were proven to have lied about it. Now you are trying to move the goal posts to a different stadium.

I gave you the sentence with the relevant claim. The poster stated quite clearly that people are people and every group has the same distribution of good and bad. My example of the Nazi's showed this was wrong.

The previous sentence changes nothing and is ridiculous for anyone to claim that it does.

The fact is clear that you made a charge against me but could not back it up and were caught lying. So now you are trying to deflect from your own sins by this silly idea that I did not reproduce the introductory sentences WHICH DID NOT CONTAIN THE CLAIM THAT WAS DISPUTED.

I was referring to the "My castle my body" doctrine. What kind of a castle do women have authority over if us men have the right to do what we want with what grows in their castle?

They just thought they'd mention that because one of them had read that it had happened in some other city.

They voted unanimously that it could have happened here.
 
Re: Was This Acceptable?

They could have thrown their shoes...did they take those as well?

How about hairbrushes, false teeth, artificial limps...you can throw all that stuff.


Yeah...they went too far.

Who ever got a concussion from being hit with a thrown tampon?
 
Re: Was This Acceptable?

I'm surprised no conservatives voted that they think it's wrong. I thought they usually didn't like infringements on personal freedom however small and minuscule it may seem or is that just the libertarians? :confused:
