Overnight Open Thread (5-3-2016)
FYI I will be in Japan for the next three weeks starting on Thursday. It's a mix of business, pleasure, and family stuff. Odds of me returning: Good
World War II was also one of the few wars in history in which the losers, Japan and Germany, lost far fewer lives than did the winners. There were roughly five times as many deaths on the Allied side, both military and civilian, as on the Axis side.It is fine for Secretary of State Kerry and President Obama to honor the Hiroshima and Nagasaki victims. But in a historical and moral sense, any such commemoration must be offered in the context of Japanese and German aggression.

"Are you going to ruin it for all of us?" one of my dog-fancying friends asked, when I told her that I was writing this article. I was surprised to learn how many of my acquaintances were the owners of so-called emotional-support animals. They defend the practice by saying that they don't want to leave their pets home alone, or they don't want to have to hire dog-walkers, or they don't want their pets to have to ride in a plane's cargo hold, or that Europeans gladly accept dogs everywhere. They have tricks to throw skeptics off guard. "People can't ask about my disability," one friend told me. "But if I feel that I'm in a situation where I might have a struggle being let in somewhere with my dog, then I come up with a disorder that sounds like a nightmare. I like to be creative. I'll say I lack a crucial neurotransmitter that prevents me from processing anxiety and that, without the dog, I'm likely to black out and urinate."

'Swedes, Please Give Your Sperm a Purpose'
Swedish men should stop jerking off in public places or having unprotected sex and start donating sperm to help single women have babies, argues Stockholm-based writer Matilda Karlsson.
"I don't understand why more men don't donate their sperm. In my experience men seem generally pretty free when it comes to releasing it. Having sex without a condom with a range of people after a night out seems to be no problem. Nor does masturbating at a bar or in a quiet subway carriage, something I have unfortunately had to witness.Spunk is being wasted recklessly, but when it comes to giving sperm a purpose, it doesn't seem to be so easy. A friend of mine explained that his sperm is free for anyone to enjoy for pleasure, however using it as an ingredient to create a child comes with a price. Perhaps that is what is missing, a financial incentive to make hospital jars more appealing to donors?
It would certainly be attractive for some men to mix business with pleasure in this way. But most people I have spoken to have said it is not really a matter of compensation. The most common reason among my friends is that they just never get round to it. Except they do get round to it don't they? As I mentioned before, our neighbourhoods are drowning in cum. It's just it never gets to the hospitals. It's not fashionable to donate sperm and that must be changed."
But Don't Feel Too Smug Americans - You're Not Exactly Using Your Sperm Effectively Either...
Because you're getting beat out in the spunk games by France. France!
Ocean acidification: yet another wobbly pillar of climate alarmism
Some of us have suspected this for some time. According to Patrick Moore, a co-founder of Greenpeace, long one of ocean acidification theory's fiercest critics, the term is 'just short of propaganda'. The pH of the world's oceans ranges between 7.5 and 8.3 - well above the acid zone (which starts below 'neutral' pH7) - so more correctly it should be stated that the seas are becoming slightly less alkaline. 'Acid' was chosen, Moore believes, because it has 'strong negative connotations for most people'.
Matt Ridley, too, has been scathing on the topic. In The Rational Optimist he wrote, 'Ocean acidification looks suspiciously like a back-up plan by the environmental pressure groups in case the climate fails to warm.' I agree. That's why I like to call it the alarmists' Siegfried Line - their last redoubt should it prove, as looks increasingly to be the case, that the man-made global warming theory is a busted flush.
Forgetting What We Once Knew and Sympathy For the Snake
As Aesop knew some 2500 years ago; The greatest kindness will not bind the ungrateful. Virtually every civilized country affected by Muslim terror, has responded by trying to make life better for Muslims. But no matter how much they warm the snake, it still bites. The snake will always bite.
Only the fool or the sociopath genuinely believes that evil is returned only for evil. That snakes will only bite you, if you bite them first. That if you warm them and cuddle them, they will warm and cuddle you in turn. Things that are poisonous bite.

Anyone who says that they want a world free from nuclear weapons is a bloodthirsty bigot.
Prior to Hiroshima and Nagasaki we had:
Waterloo
Antietam
Gettysburg
The Somme
Verdun
Iwo Jima
Kursk
Stalingrad
Okinawa
Nanking
etc., etc., etc.
Nuclear weapons have done more to limit carnage of full-scale warfare than anything else in history.

I don't know if the Raptors won tonight (I'm going to Bing it just now) but literally just a few seconds after the Raptors got a buzz-beating 3-pointer to tie the game and go into overtime, the Jays' Smoak got his second home run of the game to win for the Jays in the 10th inning to match his first home run in the 9th that tied the Texas game. The fans at the baseball Rogers Centre could hear the cheer that went up from the basketball* Air Canada Centre the few blocks away.

Please pray for the people of Fort McMurray, Alberta and surrounding communities. There is an out of control forest fire accompanied by high winds and dry weather that has forced a mandatory evacuation of all 80,000 of Fort Mac's residents and others in surrounding areas. To make things worse, there is one major highway in and out of town and it's closed. People are trapped, and the industrial camp sites are taking as many as they can. Their workers cannot go to their homes to retrieve anything.
If the name sounds familiar, Fort Mac is the home base for the oilsands.

Can't help but wonder how Kubrick dealt with these union assholes at Pinewood. Then again, I've read Stanley was quick to just fire people (he was especially notorious for it early in his career) and had a big enough staff to handle the union fallout.

Re my own movie:
I'm pissed off at the National Park Service right now. I finally looked up the permitting requirements for shooting inside of Death Valley National Park.
- They want $210 per day. That's fair.
- If you want ranger assistance, that's more money. Also fair, I doubt I would need it anyway.
- And they want a ONE MILLION DOLLAR INSURANCE POLICY with NFS listed as the beneficiary, and you have to show proof to get your permit. Permit me to exclaim: WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Oh well. My dear deceased Aunt Mary's brother is the sheriff of La Paz County in Arizona... so maybe that will help. :-)

re service animals -- It's interesting that you brought this one up, Maet. I just went on a lengthy rant to my mom about that very issue, as I'm seeing dogs in 'service harness' all over the place. Yeah, I had one come by where I was sitting twice; each time it tried to lick my leg before the totes healthy looking 30ish dude yanked his pet away.
Could be worse, I guess -- we never got to the leg humping stage.
I can see using seeing eye dogs *rimshot*, but the entire rest of this industry is horseshit. Now someone with an emotional support animal set me straight.

I must object to that animated GIF of Chihiro from Chihiro no Sen being where it is.
Chihiro and her parents are on a road trip. Obviously she is not happy about it. Her father gets lost and they find a place where the gods of Japan exist. Because her parents are selfish and breaking the rules, they suffer the curse of Circe. It is up to Chihiro to break that curse and save her parents.
Chihiro is not in anyway a snowflake. She is a young girl who has to grow up to surmount difficulties.

46 Re my own movie:
I'm pissed off at the National Park Service right now. I finally looked up the permitting requirements for shooting inside of Death Valley National Park.
- They want $210 per day. That's fair.
- If you want ranger assistance, that's more money. Also fair, I doubt I would need it anyway.
- And they want a ONE MILLION DOLLAR INSURANCE POLICY with NFS listed as the beneficiary, and you have to show proof to get your permit. Permit me to exclaim: WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Oh well. My dear deceased Aunt Mary's brother is the sheriff of La Paz County in Arizona... so maybe that will help. :-)
Posted by: qdpsteve at May 03, 2016 11:27 PM (ntObR)
It's a $1M policy, not a $1M premium. It might not be as expensive as you think.

World War II was also one of the few wars in history in which the losers, Japan and Germany, lost far fewer lives than did the winners. There were roughly five times as many deaths on the Allied side, both military and civilian, as on the Axis side.
That's only if you count 20 mm or whatever Russian civilian deaths which had less to do with the war than with purges and forced starvation.

The story about the snowflakes and their emotional support dogs made me suddenly realize exactly why I hate those "settler" commercials so much.
People who would perish in a few days if they found themselves on the 19th century American frontier are invited to feel superior to the pioneers because, like, they wore drab clothing and ate boring food and didn't have TV and Smart Phones like us!
What would those poor, deprived settlers make of snowflakes and pajama boys and trigger warnings?

I feel genuine sympathy for Maple Leafs fan, because they're sort of the Browns of the NHL. Very successful in the pioneer days of the league, then decades upon decades of futility. At least they didn't move to another city and then win the Cup, though.

Internationally, there are. If the feds find you bringing in meat products as you return from abroad, expect on the spot confiscation and destruction.
It's pretty goddamned ridiculous to think that a cured dry salami could pose any sort of a public risk, but then again, this is the United States federal government we're talking about. Globally renowned specialists in ridiculousness.

Ask Weirddave -- he's in the biz. I can tell you that the annual umbrella policy the covers the fiancee and I for any losses on the underlying policies above $1M but below $5M is a couple of hundred bucks. So, if I run someone over with my car, or my house has a tree limb fall on someone, our auto or homeowner policies cover the first $1M, and the the next $4M are covered by the umbrella.
If it's only for a week and no motor vehicles are involved, it might be $50. It could even be less.

Outside of the cities in fly over country it is idyllic and they occasionally let food trucks in to the cities.

152 Ask Weirddave -- he's in the biz. I can tell you that the annual
umbrella policy the covers the fiancee and I for any losses on the
underlying policies above $1M but below $5M is a couple of hundred
bucks. So, if I run someone over with my car, or my house has a tree
limb fall on someone, our auto or homeowner policies cover the first
$1M, and the the next $4M are covered by the umbrella.
But that is a policy on top of your coverage with the insurer on your home and cars (and mine required to have both pieces of your business to issue the umbrella).
So a stand alone $1mil policy might be a bit more pricy.

qdpsteve, The wife and I have had enough here. I dearly love CA and my family has been in this neighborhood since the early 50's but I just can't take what has been done to the state anymore. Hell, we don't even have jobs lined up yet. We are just going. Of course, the hugely lower cost of living there will allow a large increase the canoe ballast budget.

A question for NHL fans: The proposed new team in Vegas, would that be an expansion franchise or an existing team moving?
And if it's expansion, would they also add one more to keep the conferences even?
If so...bring back the Whalers!
(Or the Nordiques, perhaps?)

In an episode of Barney Miller a prostitute being booked discovered she had been paid with counterfeit bills leading her to exclaim, "My God. I just got raped!"

My city hall has a sign welcoming support animals.
When I went to pay my water bill once, I asked the lady behind the counter if I could bring my cat in, since I feel emotionally insecure without her. I added she was my emotional therapy animal.
Lady behind the counter looked at me as if I was slightly off, and then said "uh, no."
I think she could tell I was pulling her leg. Plus, I'm way, way too old to be a special snowflake and don't look especially fragile.
At the end of the conversation, I giggled.

I was a semen donor for a time. The pay wasn't as good as they promoted (true fact: they pay based on volume), but it was close to work and hey- money for jerking it. Why not?
I even signed a waiver that allowed any future offspring to contact me after they were 18. I harbor a fantasy where they grow up liberal and I introduce myself by sending their parents a copy of my commenting history here.
I just want to see the "I have made a huge mistake" look on their faces.

Meant of course as a slam at the ridiculous length of the season, which was much better when it was all wrapped up (incl. the Cup) well BEFORE Memorial Day. Of course young'ins don't get the joke.

True, but I have to imagine it's tough being a Canadian hockey fan and watching teams from the US win it every single year. It would be like the Toronto Argos joining the NFL and winning the Super Bowl every year.
Speaking of that, I'm doing a trip next year with some friends touring all of the Big 4 Halls of Fame (and a few other minor ones - the college football HoF in Atlanta is another one we're considering). During the Toronto wing of the trip, I'm hoping to catch both a Leafs game and an Argos game. I've only been to a few NHL games live, and I've never seen a CFL game live.

Frankly I miss the Hartford Whalers. I wasn't a fan of them, I just loved the name. It was historically and geographically appropiate. It probably wouldn't fly these days with SJW Connecticut.

At some point when she was young, her father abandoned her family. She now desperately wants to find him.
I'm at a loss as to why. Why would you want to meet someone who abandoned you? Someone who didn't care enough to stick around?
FYI, this has nothing to do with sperm donation-- it has to do with people who abandon their families and then the children who desperately want to meet them.
Not sure why they want to go there. IMHO, it's opening Pandoras Box.
Not.Good.

This support animal thing has given me an idea. A perverted idea involving nekkid womyns, of course, as anyone who knows me can figure out. All roads eventually lead there.
How about a support babe (or two)? Could we get some super duper psychologically Ph.Ds types to come up with some disorder that requires nearly nekkid hotties as your emotional support. I need Kate Upton or similar, dressed in nearly nothing, you know some porny slut oufit.
And I need it everywhere I go. She or hopefully plural, could be wearing naughty nurse uniforms, which is basically naked with some sort of something white with red crosses strapped around enhancing the good parts.
And I get to carry those with me wherever I go.

That arena in Vegas looks super nice, but it'd probably be a better idea to move an existing team. The NFL can barely even support 32 teams, and it's the most popular of the Big 4.
Where would the other team even be? Some smaller city in Canada like Hamilton? (Or Quebec City, per my joke about the Nordiques)

A few years ago, shortly after I came home from Afghanistan, my wife convinced me to drop my Roman Polanski boycott and watch a film called "Carnage". Basically, the movie features two white, gentrified NYC couples who meet to discuss a schoolyard fight between their children.
Jodie Foster, playing one of the moms, proves to be so outrageously bleeding heart liberal that the opposing dad, played by Christophe Waltz, sneers, "I saw your friend Jane Fonda on TV the other day. It made me want to go out and buy a Ku Klux Klan poster." One of the best lines in a movie that actually really friendly to conservatives, especially colnsidering who directed it.
Anyways, that's how people like Cora Siegel make me feel. Everything I see her babble about smashing white supremacy, I feel more and more sympathetic to actual white supremacists. Generally, I couldn't care less what other people do or what they look like. But some fat obnoxious asshole starts running her mouth and I suddenly want to attend cross burnings.

I think you have to just negotiate with the current franchise owners. IIRC when the Browns moved to Baltimore, part of the deal was that the name and history stayed with Cleveland. But then you have situations like Charlotte getting the Hornets name and logo back, which wasn't negotiated until well after the original Hornets moved to New Orleans.
And yeah, the Whalers have an awesome logo and come on, it's just kinda cool to have a team in a place like Hartford.

New Type along with Nikaku, Kimono My House, and San Francisco Laser Disc were among the first places I could buy things like figure kits, art books, CDs, and other stuff. For awhile the UC Irvine bookstore even got into selling things like Japanese laser discs.

Well, you said she's bipolar and unstable.
But unipolar, stable people do this, too. It seems irrational to me, even a bit of a rejection of those who adopt these rejectees -- but the desire to find blood kin endures. No matter how hard the SJWs try to destroy family, it persists even in its most tenuous form.

So while you're in Japan, make sure to do something about their fertility rate.
I propose a change to our foreign aid structure: rather than throwing money at sandpits with far greater than replacement breeding rates, we need to focus our foreign aid on sending stiff dicks to allies where the local males ain't doing the job.
Line up to the right, please.

That arena in Vegas looks super nice, but it'd
probably be a better idea to move an existing team. The NFL can barely
even support 32 teams, and it's the most popular of the Big 4.
Where would the other team even be? Some smaller city in Canada like Hamilton? (Or Quebec City, per my joke about the Nordiques)
Posted by: broseidon king of the brocean at May 04, 2016 12:06 AM (kumBu)
Quebec City is begging for a team and building an arena for that purpose, but Bettman is focusing on Las Vegas. Hamilton would embrace a team but Toronto is too close and the Leafs will exercise the banhammer.
If you're looking at team moving, look at perhaps one of the Florida teams. Phoenix still has a team by the sheer will of Bettman because he doesn't want to be proven wrong.
Here's the issue: Is there a market for hockey in Vegas?
On another subject, if you want to watch a CFL game, go the the Grey Cup and show up on the Wednesday prior to the game for the parties.

VDH had a decent essay on You Know Who today, but I find the excerpted quote above disappointing.
No, there's actually no good reason to "honor the victims" of Hiroshima and Nagasaki - that is, to honor them vs. those in Conventry, London, Hamburg, Antwerp, Kiev, Dresden, Osaka, Tokyo, Nagoya ........ none at all.
It is purely a continuation of the dangerous and degrading Atomic Bomb Cult that is founded on the illogical silliness there is anything at all morally different about death and destruction based on the mechanism (as opposed to the underlying moral rationale).
Past mayors of Tokyo, and others, in Japan have mocked the "cult of Hiroshima" themselves.
And having illiterate disgraceful buffoons like Obama and Kerry making any statement of any sort, anywhere, on any adult topic beyond their intellectual and moral comprehension is as great a humiliation of the US as has yet been recorded.

Positive: I now know my Dad!
Negative: He's molested my young son.
or this:
Positive: I finally met Mom!
Negative: She stole my purse, my ID and now I'm responsible for $100,000 in purchases she made. If I turn her in, she'll go to jail, since she was on probation when I met her.

Speaking of sperm donation, I'm recalling something, a scene from one of those crass frat-boy humor movies from what was likely quite a few years ago.
Some bros decided they would go in and become sperm donors. One had an idea. He would pretend he was having trouble reaching completion and ask a nice nurse if she could please help him out. You know, a medical task for the poor thing who is doing his duty to help out whatever sperm donation helps out.
Well, he finds this very hot nurse and she's so nice and agrees to help him. She seems very willingly and tells him to go in the room over there and wait. Hot damn! he thinks.
Well, help comes in. It's not the original hottie nurse, but some fat, ugly and mean older nurse who apparently is the expert on that. And his horror only begins and she forces him to bend over, rams a probe up his ass and does a prostate milking to force ejaculation.

Have a Whalers' jersey (played on a summer league team that used their uniforms, years back). The whale flukes are pretty cool. Though the best thing about Hartford - Colts Mfg. Co. - had nothing to do with hockey .....
Ready to be corrected, but the reason the NHL season is sooooo long, with everyone making the playoffs and those going on for two months, is kind of sad - they need to do this, just for the $$$.
That is, the league has a pretty poor revenue base from advertizing, compared to the other major team sport leagues. They don't make much per event .... so they literally have to "make it up in volume" by having more events. Their call but the product has suffered immensely.

Steve, it's a great movie. Do see it. I kinda bitched at her when Polanski' name popped up in the opening credits, but it was worth it. It's almost entirely two couples interacting in an apartment for ninety minutes, which I didn't expect to enjoy when my wife told me about it, but just go with it. And again, the more rightish couple clearly comes off in a better light. Jodie Foster is a bonkers fucking lib.

I think the novelty of having an actual Big 4 team and the influx of curious tourists who will have another excuse for a Vegas trip will keep interest up for a few years, but I could definitely see in around 10 years down the line them not being able to fill even half of that arena for any given regular season game.
Grey Cup would be fun. I have to imagine a Grey Cup ticket is around the same price as a cup of beer at the Super Bowl.

Randy, what's interesting is that I've read Foster isn't such a braindead SJW in real life, which I respect.
There was recently a story at Breitbart of Foster scoffing at all this supposed sexism in Hollywood. Plus, she was open about how she believed Mel Gibson should be forgiven for his social transgressions a few years ago, while she was promoting her (flop) flick of the time, "The Beaver."

Somewhere along the line, adoption papers would include the conception parents' genomes -- and there'd be even less of a reason. But I could readily envision wanting to know about "familial" health issues you couldn't know about from your parents.

Another strange spooge tale. You've all heard of semen allergies, women who have an allergic reaction to semen. It can be semen in general, or to some specific men or group of men with whatever common trigger is there.
We're all different and our semen will have unique proteins or maybe "signature" on the proteins. This can trigger allergic reactions in women.
I remember a few years ago I saw something about some porn start freaking out. She had just done a, uh, you know money shot type of thing where she had, uh, extensive skin contact with those, uh, proteins from a specific man.
She had cleaned up, then noticed red welts forming where all the protein had been deposited. She freaked out and posted a picture of it on Twitter, which made the rounds, showing those red splotches in a certain pattern that outlined the "splash" zone perfectly.
The poor girl had an allergic reaction to that dude's particular protein signature.

Here is a feel-good story for the day. In South Korea, a building was on fire. Some passing US soldiers quickly got some blankets, organized a group to use the blankets as a safety net, and got a mother to drop her children and finally jump herself. Mother and children all saved.
The news story doesn't say where the fire fighting brigade was during all this, but the implication I got was the woman and her kids would have died without the timely help.

Actually, the origin of the Yankees is a great case of karma actually working (though it took its sweet ass time). The Yankees were founded in 1903 as the Highlanders when the team that was known as the Baltimore Orioles folded. The Orioles folded in part because of syndicate ownership by John Brush, who raided the Orioles for most of the core of his championship Giants teams, including player/manager John McGraw. Syndicate ownership was outlawed in name only after the debacle that was the 1899 Cleveland Spiders, but it basically continued in practice until Landis became the commissioner in 1920.
And of course, the unprecedented success of the Yankees after acquiring Ruth went a long way towards both the Giants and Dodgers eventually moving to California.

While I think a certain amount of information is desirable, any continuing relationship should absolutely be by mutual affirmative interest -- ties go to "no".

Swedish men should stop jerking off in public places or having unprotected sex and start donating sperm to help single women have babies, argues Stockholm-based writer Matilda Karlsson.
"I don't understand why more men don't donate their sperm. In my experience men seem generally pretty free when it comes to releasing it. Having sex without a condom with a range of people after a night out seems to be no problem. Nor does masturbating at a bar...
I'd suggest she's hanging around the wrong kind of bars for starters, JMHO.

It's possible that Cora Siegel would have been a pleasanter person had her father not died when she was a young age. No doubt he was leftist, but he sounds like a rather humble, nice guy. My father was gone by the time I was nine and like everyone else-I can get angry-but I've never behaved the way she did in public. I've yelled and said the f word in private (living with a teen on the spectrum sometimes brings that out. Sorry if I'm disappointing anyone). She's obviously a very unhappy person.

Yeah, cthulhu, the guy has told many lies about my wife's adoptive parents, such as them fighting to keep the adoption closed, when in reality they encouraged my wife to build those relationships. After all, that's how she's so tight with her birth mom.
So that's enough for my wife to really want to burn those ties.

ThunderB, hmm re real vs adoptive parents.
I was found and contacted by my "birth mother" in 1990. I agreed to meet with her, it obviously meant a lot to her to do so, but I've never stopped thinking of my adoptive mom (who adopted me when I was just a few days old in 1966) as my REAL mom.
I also found out that for all of my developmental and behaviorial problems... I got off easy. Most of my "natural" family, including my mom, had some... issues.
Oh, and my "natural" dad was -- I kid you not -- a pizzeria owner and chef who threw my "natural" mom out of her life (she worked for him), as soon as he found out she was pregnant with me.

A half-brother or sister is normally one who shares one parent but not the other. I'm thinking that you're talking about your "genetic" brothers and sisters -- and certainly, there can be nothing more "natural" than a mother's love for her adopted son.....
I have, for instance, a half-uncle. My paternal grandfather, who went through five wives during his time on the planet, had my dad and uncle by one wife, and my half-uncle was born of a different wife.

She looks like a great future Dem presidential candidate. Is she too young to run w/ Cory Booker in 2024 as VP? Your future awaits you...

cthulhu, that's just it. :-) My "natural" mom was separated from and ended up cheating on her husband of the time, and here I am.
According to my birth mother, from what I recall, she put me up for adoption because she reconciled with her husband... who said "I don't want that bastard in my house."
There was a lot of strange stuff going on. Another interesting tidbit: when I met my birth mom in 1990, she promptly announced to both me and my actual mom that she could have changed her mind about placing me with an adoptive family *well after* I was already adopted. My adoptive (and REAL) mom, OTOH, swears the LA County agency swore to her, the adoption was final very soon after they took me home for the first time.
That enraged my real mom so much when she heard it, she had to leave the room.

Please pray for the people of Fort McMurray, Alberta and surrounding communities. There is an out of control forest fire accompanied by high winds and dry weather that has forced a mandatory evacuation of all 80,000 of Fort Mac's residents and others in surrounding areas. To make things worse, there is one major highway in and out of town and it's closed. People are trapped, and the industrial camp sites are taking as many as they can. Their workers cannot go to their homes to retrieve anything.
If the name sounds familiar, Fort Mac is the home base for the oilsands.

So when I say that I'm gobsmacked that my dad is still married to her for 50 years, it's because my mom, though a wonderful lady when sober, is a total psychopathic bitch on wheels the sometimes loses touch with reality.
When I was little qdp, I would pray that I was adopted.

I think I'm still confused. You're using "real mom" and "adoptive mom" interchangeably -- which makes total sense. She'd also be just "mom" -- she raised you, sent you off to school, kissed your boo-boos, stayed up late when you missed curfew -- mom stuff. I would expect your "natural mom" to be the same person.
You've also got your "genetic mom" who seems interchangeable with "birth mom" -- and that makes total sense. But when you talk about your "natural mom" being estranged from her husband, are you talking about your "real mom", "genetic mom", or someone else?

90-100/50-60ish is common for children and teenagers. Rising blood pressure with age is a sign of damage being done, really.
I'd have to ramble for paragraphs to explain all the details, but I had blood pressure problems. It got out of control and I had to drive myself to the ER in the middle of the night with it hitting 200/100.
Again, bunch of details, but the dosage of the drugs got to be too high and my BP got way too low, which I discovered when I nearly passed out after getting up off the couch.
At any rate, I've found that I'm actually fine with a BP as low as 95/55ish. Now, if it gets lower than that by an significant amount, I'll be light headed and feel awful.
With this stupid RA I have, with both knees shot and other joints not so hot, I don't do much activity. However, sometimes something breaks down and I have to get my butt in gear and do some real work, something pre-RA damage, I did every day.
I will pay for it, a flare will result, but sometimes something has to be done.
I've found that when I "blow out my system", you know work, getting the blood flowing, my blood pressure will drop for 2 days. I don't even need to take. Again, long story and details, but I'm taking 3 things for BP. Well, a beta blocker for other reasons, and then 2 solely for BP. It's just the way it evolved.
Basically after a "blow out", the beta blocker is all I need for those two days, if that. If I take the regular dose, the BP will drop below that 95/55 minimum.
Now, after 2 days and a return to inactivity, it will rise again.
So, what does that tell you?

He told me a story of discussing prepper, uh, preparations with an urban co-worker. Said co-worker one-upped him, boasting about having a stocked fallout shelter. Stocked with food and water.

I take firsts as a lighthearted joke. 17 must be a record. But if that's the highlight of your year you need to get out more. j/k
Maybe go to a Trump rally, I hear they're pretty exciting if you get a bunch of intolerant leftistsfighting for shutting down free speech. Good times.

I've been reading this blog for quite a while.
2008: Calls for "Burn it down, scatter the ashes" & prayers to SMOD to end our suffering were common during the McCain campaign.
2012: Generally the same as 2008, except that Romney was now the candidate.
Jump ahead to 2016: Still hearing the same thing now that Trump is the 'presumptive nominee'.
Would just like to note: Trump WILL burn it down & scatter the ashes. Trump IS SMOD.
Yea, not my choice either but it is what it is.
Want to change the world?? Get off the f&*king computer and get out there with real people; change won't happen with 'we the people' sitting in the comfort of our homes commenting on a blog.
My take (and yes, this is just an old man ruminating): The Donald is winning in the polls & TFG is getting nervous, thinking all his hard work (HA) will be for naught and orders TPTB to indict the criminal in the pantsuit. Slow Joe & Cherokee Liz are drafted to take the nomination {not legal, I'm sure, but hey, TFG says it is - he IS a constitutional scholar don't ya know - and the wimpy GOPe won't dare complain}. And our system of government finally comes to an end.
I don't like that, nope, not even a little. With over 350 million people in this country THESE are the choices we get?? Something is rotten in Denmark (or...the USA, in this case).

Then, again, when I first moved to Northern California (mid-'80s), I was talking to my apartment's postal carrier, who had just become a grandmother.......at the age of 32.
So, a story from her.....she was out delivering in a single-family homes part of San Jose and, y'know, chatting with people as she walked the neighborhood, when one of the people she was talking to -- a guy about 45 -- freaked out, yelled "wait! wait! wait!" and ran inside his house. He came out a couple of minutes later with a photograph in his hand.
When she was in her middle-teens, she'd hang out in Haight-Ashbury with a sign that said, "Have your picture taken with a real-live Hippie!!! $2"
This guy had not only paid the $2, and taken the picture -- it was almost 20 years later and he still had it and recognized her.

She's still trying to get used to the idea that she's a great-grandmother, which, I admit, can more than empathize with.
I can only imagine the unfathomably deep well of empathy she must possess, continuing through life knowing the that some of her progeny became Raiders fans.

Anybody know what the current status is of Ace's declared voting intention in November?
Last I read was the legendary "I'll vote for Hillary before I vote for Trump post," from a while back, but I don't read all the daytime posts, so I don't know if that was ever altered or retracted in a subsequent post.
And in the comments of the last five hours, now that Cruz is definitively out of the race, and thus there is no more any need to bash Trump as part of a pro-Cruz strategy, has Ace indicated an updated intent?
I guess the short version of my question is: Now that it's a two person race, Trump v Hillary, is AoS now a pro-Hillary site, a pro-Trump site, or a "none of the above" site?
I'll keep hanging around either way, but I have to confess it will feel weird spending the next six months as a commenter on an actively pro-HIllary site. I foresee so so many arguments. It's still just about the best blog on the Web, even with everybody at each other's throats, but bumpy rides can leave one bruised.

Having done family research since I was 15 I've always been a history geek. It all depends on the adoptee and their parents, run across all kinds of circumstances, to each their own.
Love the parents that raised you, but most don't have a problem finding the biological. There are real health reasons to do so but you must be prepared to be disappointed.
Often there are great reunions, sometimes not. Everyone has to make the choice that is right for them.

I've been commenting here a pretty long time (about 10 years IIRC) and I seriously doubt Ace will make this a pro-Hillary site.
More plausibly he'll end up anti-Hillary and more or less neutral about her main opponent (see what I did there, Maetenloch?), posting about both his positives and negatives.
If in the unlikely event that the race becomes competitive and her opponent undergoes a major personality transformation, all bets are off.

CNN is doing something interesting right now.
They're running a chyron labelling (microaggression) guests as "Clinton Supporter" or "Trump Supporter".
That's noteworthy. Historically they simply label someone as something like a "political analyst" without mentioning that they were previously (or currently) a Clinton staffer.
Such blatant transparency is refreshing, if a bit shocking given their history.

I'm wondering about voting for Bernie.
I'll vote for Bernie in the CA Primary, and Trump in November.
I think it is for the best that Cruz dropped-out; if the polls really are correct, then he would lose in November, and I see no point in this. I think he can run in 2020 /2024, undamaged by 2016.
I think Trump can defeat Hillary!, based on a link from a few days ago: Hillary! may have had more votes in the primaries, but H + Bernie
Unfortunately, I'm not certain that Trump WILL win against Hillary! ... but I think that Kasich, even if he could win, would be as bad as Hillary.
Conclusion: It's time to decide to vote for Trump, as the alternative is clearly very much worse.

As an Operation Chaos sort of thing in the primary? Knock yourself out.
In the general election? Absurd. He's less vulgar but no less unintelligent and informed than the presumptive Republican nominee.

Federal government money in education is poison, plain and simple. There is no level (of education) at which it is ok, no volume (of dollars) that is ok, no mechanism that makes it right. It's not in the enumerated powers, and it is highly corrosive to a free society.

Perhaps Honda will run a series of ads asking just what, exactly, Ro has accomplished in the last 2 years.
Maybe 2016 will finish Ro forever.

Donald Trump was the punchline of many jokes during my teen years (80s). There's a reason for that.
He's the PT Barnum of this age.
They make great entertainers.
They do not make great presidents--or even mediocre ones.
I am not voting in an election where the two choices are between dumb and dumber, with a fuckton of malice thrown in.
No, I will continue to prepare myself and those closest to me for whatever eventuality: Hillary, Sanders, or Trump.

I originally voted for Perot. Fiscal, fiscal, fiscal.
I was reluctant to vote for 43, but Gore/Clinton. *meh*
I NEVER wanted to vote for McCain. I knew better by then, but I knew what Obama was/is.
Then they gave us Romney. *headdesk*
Now? Now that we have an actual fiscal, conservative constitutionalist?
This is a bad road. It is time to abandon the car and start walking.
I walk with God and if you find Glenn Beck to be a loon, we're just not going to get along very well.
I'll say that if it weren't for Pat and Stu on that show, I'd have stopped listening long-ago. His crying phase was for the birds.
I have a "take-it-and-leave-it" posture with Mr. Beck, as well as any pastor or preacher I have ever met.
This country must survive. All tenets and level, foundational granite that is the Constitution and the free-market system based upon Judeo-Christian beliefs should be held as holy.
The giant suck-hole we find ourselves in is full of Elitist, Top-Down, Power-Holding, Washington Protectocrats looking to hang-on to their status through rules, rulings, regulations, fees, fines, and taxes.
This isn't "Capitalism". It is Crapitalism. Businesses, Banks and Investment ans Insurance Companies currying favor to keep people from their filthy lucre.
We have strayed far from free markets and the Tenth Amendment.
We are in uncharted waters.
...and I have never heard our current nominee mention anything having to do with the Constitution of These Great United States of America.
...even once.

I fully intend to vote for Ted Cruz. I will write him in. I cannot in good conscience vote for any of the three offerings, and frankly, if any one of them becomes president ( and I don't see how it won't happen) I fully intend to ignore everything about the Lower 48 for the span of at least four years, perhaps longer. If it gets truly awful, I will simply go off grid and kiss those motherfuckers goodbye.
Not that it makes the slightest bit of difference to anyone but me and my family, but there it is.

If you are interested in looking a bit back further to his parents, and their health histories I could help give you a start. Really looking back several generations helps on health issues. Well and any other curiosity about them.
My email is below, I don't claim to be an expert, but I've been doing this for over 40 yrs and have learned something. I can help you start and you can usually connect to Ancestry.com thru a local library if you want to continue.

Ooof. I didn't intend that comment to be so incendiary, but so it was.
Apologies to those who find it disrespectful of your adopted parents and your relationship with them. That was not intended.
I have a niece and nephew who were adopted when infants ... As they got a little older, both went through a period where they would cry in the middle of the night and needed my sister to comfort them for an hour or two. No real reason, but the older one would say she just felt sad.
Her natural kids didn't have that issue. I think it was because both adopted kids felt a pain of separation from their birth mom, even though they had a new loving home with two parents to take care of them. They were dearly loved by their adopted parents, but there were still emotional wounds from the separation and adoption.
Perhaps I'm guessing too much and overgeneralizing. But I do know that the parent-kid relationship is a very special and important bond, and parents are not hotswappable components.

Be very careful about generalizations like this.
My son is adopted, from Guatemala, so he looks nothing like either of us.
Except that he does.
When I ask him what color I am, he says I am momma colored. Daddy is, of course, daddy colored. And my Punkin' is, naturally, punkin colored.
There is always sadness in loss, but we are the only parents he has ever known, and he is good with that so far. He is quite aware that he has another birth mom, and that he can't know who his birth dad was, and at some point when he is grown, he may seek her out, but he also knows full well that she loved him so much she wanted a good life for him, and that works.
Some kids feel it in different ways, but it does not lessen the bonds between the kids and their parents. I do not use the term adoptive parent, because there is no such thing. I am his mom, and he is my kid, and that's all there is to that.

Some kids feel it in different ways, but it does not lessen the bonds between the kids and their parents. I do not use the term adoptive parent, because there is no such thing. I am his mom, and he is my kid, and that's all there is to that.

As noted above, I expect "mom" to be the person who raised someone. "Birth mom" or "genetic mom" is the person who created someone.

Gnite, slapweasel - and instead of static, could you just put on some soothing overnight muzak instead? So I don't have to get up and change the channel.

I didn't trace back all the way upthread. Did the discussion of parenting and adoption etc. arise from the waste-of-sperm part of the post, or, no relation?
I've always been rather careful about where my little guys ended up. Well, not as careful as I should have been, but AFAIK, despite my randy yout', my three offspring with Milady are the only ones who are mine. I take daddying seriously, and can't imagine being a contributor to outside-of-my-pair-bond-marriage procreation.

496 Perhaps I'm guessing too much and overgeneralizing. But I do know that the parent-kid relationship is a very special and important bond, and parents are not hotswappable components.
Posted by: HopefulMonster Bravely supporting kittens at May 04, 2016 02:39 AM (1D4Ef)
Be very careful about generalizations like this.
My son is adopted, from Guatemala, so he looks nothing like either of us.
Except that he does.
When I ask him what color I am, he says I am momma colored. Daddy is, of course, daddy colored. And my Punkin' is, naturally, punkin colored.
There is always sadness in loss, but we are the only parents he has ever known, and he is good with that so far. He is quite aware that he has another birth mom, and that he can't know who his birth dad was, and at some point when he is grown, he may seek her out, but he also knows full well that she loved him so much she wanted a good life for him, and that works.

I should also note that the observant kid might become aware of.....differences.....in my own case, there are certain covered portions where I am "3-day-old drowned corpse"-colored. In other places, I am "weatherbeaten siding-brown" colored. If I do something stupid, I can easily become "lobster-red" colored. Coloration ain't all that helpful.

Have some experience with the adoption/birth parents thing. Personal and everybody's experience different. That said, my opinion is that the birth parents have little to no right to come looking for the child. They or he, she made the decision to have the child adopted out in hopes for a better life that could be provided at that time. For them or he or she, that's the end of the line. Any reaching out is the arena of the child.
For the child, it is more understandable. The child, if they want, should have the right to ask for a meet. But the decision to reconnect is the birth parents alone and should be respected. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Tough stuff. 2cents.

So you have no sympathy with a birth parent who simply wants to know the child grew up healthy and happy?
I've been on the wrong end of that situation. Somewhere in this world there may be a child of mine but I have no idea if she's dead or alive. Adoption records are sealed tighter than a drum. If you're the parent of a child adopted in Iowa you don't have much worry about a birth parent showing up and disrupting your happy family.
But worse than my know knowing if she is alive is her having absolutely no clue about her own medical history. Tell me how this makes any sense at all.

There's reason enough on both sides to inquire -- but also reason enough to avoid. There should be some ability to "ping", but the truth table should be "no" unless both parties affirmatively consent.

Do you have my current contact info (after June, 2015 [Ira])? Do you have backchannel to someone that does? There are ways of establishing a handshake, but it's best to start out with easy.
Is there a deadline, or just a general belief in promptness?

Ain't really much to share. My dad and him didn't see eye to eye, as opposite as they were, and I'm sure the fact that he spent a lot of my father's childhood in prison didn't exactly help make them any closer. He died when I was about 5, and I don't really have any memories of him.

Glad your Dad was so much better a father than his. The world is a better place for that. We have your wisdom to enjoy, I know I do.
Be well all, they're gonna make me get up earlier than I want to on vacation...

I think the birth parents should have limited
ability to ping. They should not be entirely shut out by law or custom,
but they shouldn't be able to escalate -- and certainly not track or
stalk.

They should be able to establish a beacon for the children to hone in on. They should never be allowed to force themselves on the children. Which is why I said "limited ability to ping."

I wouldn't agree if what you are saying necessitates a one on one to initiate. But if you are talking about some neutral "registry", all information confidential, type place where either the child or the parents could choose to list as available for contact by "registry" personnel if either party reaches out, then yes. But registration for contact is voluntary and both the child and the parent has the right to say no and request that they and their whereabouts remain unknown.One more thing -- anonymous medical information should be available-- in terms of family history.

Sorry to disappoint. No drama. Just experience with the situation. Yes, there should be an avenue for contact as you did. But everything should be voluntary and the right to say no should be respected. That's it.
The three of us agree, it seems to me.
But I know people who absolutely do no want to be contacted and people who are open to it. I know where birth kids or parents have made contact and then it all falls apart after the first blooms and then others where it is a success.
So, for me, it is important that the contact be anonymous through neutral party until assent is given and then whatever happens happens.

My apologies. I did not see this post. I have been where you are, so I totally get it. For me, my thinking was that once the decision was made -- to allow her the opportunity for a life better than I could provide at that time -- then it would be self serving and selfish of me to reach out. But I always maintained that it was her right to do so and no matter what was going on in mine at the time, I would agree.
So, yes , years and years of that OMG, imagining terrible situations. Every year, day in and day out. And to be honest, I think it is much harder in the end for the fathers. Don't know why. Maybe because you don't get that 9 months of contact. In a way, that can make it worse for the women, but in a way not.
I do know that it is an emotional drain that can last a lifetime. So, it is best to put it in a safe place. It is tough stuff. And the not knowing, is always worse than knowing. In my opinion. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

For me, all I could do was believe that I did the right thing given the time. And that I would always say yes if the situation presented itself. And it did and it was bumpy -- not bad, not good, just bumpy and done. So, it doesn't end with a meet. There are lifetimes that have been lived during the time that has passed.
Make a home for it within yourself that what you did was best -- not right, not wrong, just best and with the best of intentions -- at the moment. And that you will be available. And the rest is best left to higher or divine power you might believe in, if you are so inclined , for comfort and rest and love.
Good night .

{que chimes} Good Morning Morons and Moronettes its 6 am and time for VNN
Today is Wednesday, May 04, 2016. On this day in 1836 the Ancient Order of Hibernians was formed in NYC. This is a Catholic organization dedicated to conservative principles of the Catholic Church and was initially intended to protect Catholic churches from anti-Catholic forces. They're most known in the US for their sponsorship and organization of the NYC Saint Patrick's Day parade. However in 1993, thanks to the efforts of the militant Gaystapo, the parade was turned over to an independent organization. No doubt that eventually the NYC St Patrick's Day parade will turn into another SF Folsom Street parade of perversion.

Seriously, why in the 50 acres of Hell is he even in the race? Also in election news Scankles was beat out by Krazy Kommie Sanders as voters are finally seeing her corrupt activities.

Putin says I fart in the general direction of all Obamanites. When I was in the Navy and the Russians sent their Bear Bomber to over fly us we had two aircraft off their "six" with orders to take them down if they opened their Bombay doors to launch any weapon. I gather the Navy is no longer doing that.

More election year bowing to the Gaystapo by Obama. He wants to make a small track of land in NYC a national monument to Gays. But since this is not federal land it will require the current owner to transfer ownership to the feds and it looks like DeComio is more than glad to do that. My question is; who owns the land now? I am sure that DeCommio does not own it.

The EPA has ruled Flint, MI water safe to drink. That begs the question would they have made the same ruling if this had been done by a private business or a Republican was in charge of Flint? I say if a private business did this they would already have imposed bankrupting fines. If a Republican administration were in charge of Flint they would have condemned the water department. So, the Republican governor of MU has issued a challenge to Obama. Drink the Flint water since your corrupt EPA says it is safe.

It appears that the public, including Democrats, is really opposed to Obamacare and are getting pissed about the steep climb in healthcare costs. They are finding out that what most logical thinking people warned of long ago is really true. You can not force insurance companies to cover prior conditions and the public to finance healthcare for the non-working population, otherwise known as the FSA, without massive increases in cost for all others. I just wish there was some way to force these added costs on Democrat voters alone.

In later years, when they are taller than you and they drive away to live their own lives, you will refer to today as "the good stuff".

The parents are of that little bastard must be so proud. "
Exhibit B: "A hand is being extended in friendship and brotherhood all that is required is that you take it. "
Trump supporters have an odd idea of "friendship and brotherhood."
I'll hold my nose and vote for your ridiculous asshole candidate. I can't blame people who will not, not after months of "lyin' Ted."

That mall has suffered a rather intense urbanification in the last several years.
During last Aprils Freddy Grey Memorial Riots, three teams of looters were apprehended within blocks of that mall, which had been preemptively closed early that night. All three had items used to gain forceful entry into buildings, as well as items which had been stolen from the heaviest inner city looting just a few hours earlier.

Cruz dropping out was inevitable. What really pisses me off this morning is this.
"It is a combat death, of course. And a very sad loss," Defense Secretary Ash Carter said, referring to the Navy SEAL. Carter was speaking in Stuttgart, Germany, where he was attending a ceremony installing a new commander of U.S. European Command. "It shows you the serious fight that we have to wage in Iraq."

I asked NGU about it and he said it should not be a problem. IIANM they used the annual anyway.
BTW rather than floss which I have found to be difficult for me to use I have started using these things called "go betweens" which are like tiny tooth brushes to brush between my teeth.

Others here I might be willing to share a foxhole with. With you it would be an honor.
Creeper, don't know if you saw my crappie reply the other day but yes, I've fished the flooded stuff, and hammered em, many times in my 50+ years of fishing. Thing is, currently no boat.

I am a big believer in flossing . In my previous job I was on the road a lot and only had one hand to floss with while driving. I started buying those green flossers and using them regularly.
On my last cleaning , the hygienist said that I had the healthiest gums that she had ever seen.
I have no idea how that gets objectively measured but it seems to be working in my case.

Yeah, I just had to stop reading the posts last night. A lot of the regular posters were wailing and gnashing their teeth that Cruz dropped out. It was obvious Ted was doomed a couple of months ago. It would have taken a miracle for him to win. The post at the Weekly Standard of the memo by a pro-Cruz group in Texas laid out the non-ideological reasons Trump beat him.
Also, ace with his pro-lifers can be negotiated with and have no standards argument was annoying. I'll call it the starving man fallacy for lack of knowing anything better. Start with a man who's religion says he can't eat fish. Now, he's starving and someone comes along and only has fish for him to eat. If he eats it, does that make him untrue to his religion? Yes, but the circumstances aren't normal or just stressful. They are extreme, death or commit a food sin. That's what you are seeing today. Pro-lifers can be one issue voters and always vote for the pro-life candidate. It is an honest position. Or the situation might be that voting for at best a squish on pro-life might be necessary for longer term strategy. Getting a pro-life candidate now might win the battle but lose the war if we continue to be flooded with people who aren't pro-life. Personally, I think either option is doomed because no one is going to stop the flood.

You can't deal with it because it's unpayable.
Here's the interesting part, we are not as boned as most of the world.
Japan is over 250pct GDP to debt.
Most of Europe is 175+pct.
So at 110pct GDPtD we are in a relatively good spot.
What will have to happen is some sort of global reset or massive actuarial schnanigans.
Because if you simply use a 30 year timeline, it would take somewhere in the neighborhood of 750billion dollars per year to pay off the debt or what we spend on the military or Medicaid.
And that ain't happening.

The solution to the pro-life vs the abortion at will war is to eliminate that BS left wing abuse of Stare Decisis by SCOTUS. That will take a Constitutional Amendment to say unequivocally that abortion is a State issue in which the federal government has no authority.
And with the crapweasels we have in congress now that will not be possible without an Art V convention.

I think you misunderstood the argument. What he was saying is that pro-lifers WILL compromise, despite the fact that common wisdom has said for decades that they will not.

Here's the problem pro-lifers like myself face.
The SCOTUS RvW decision as well as others has constitutionalozed abortion and taken the question away from political and democratic consideration.
Abortion cannot be made illeagal or even curtailed without amendments to the constitution.
The votes to abolish or curtail abortion are not to be found in Congres, the states or the people.
Hell the house could not even pass a born alive bill that would prevent atrocities like the Gosnell murders from happening.
They couldn't even defund murder inc. so an amendment is DOA.
It's frustrating but that's the lay of the land.
The left has successfully constitutionalized abortion.
We cannot ever win this now and all the GOP does is lie and fund raise over the question without having to deliver because they can't.

I just wanted to say that I'm having a wonderful time at the church I'm serving as an Interim Pastor thanks be to God. They have had conflict and people are hurting but they are a church that really wants to do things in ministry and there are enough people there for some energy. Unfortunately, unless I kidnap the next pastor who's really a nice guy who loves Jesus and other people, I have to leave by the end of June. so I am thanking God for the time I do have.

The words never translated in any concrete action. The influence was purely an illusion. We had the influence to elect a lot of flowery speeches but nothing else.
We understand that now. Party over?

He should have done that from the beginning. He might have won more states. He's had tons of momentum and could have beaten her if he didn't run such a rotten campaign

The Donald does not see it as ironic that in the same breath he complains about politicians who once attacked him now wanting to endorse him, he also says how much he now "respects" Ted Cruz. Really, Donald?

Pro lifers need to proceed in increments they can win.
Start with third trimester abortions. If everyone could just focus on banning late term abortions, it would be relatively easy to get practically all of public opinion in line.
The far left will argue that it's a "slippery slope" and the far right will always go back to the moment of conception argument, but the vast majority can agree, if people limit the scope of the discussion, to stopping late abortions.
One win at a time. Take the opportunity to educate, gain hearts and minds.
Then move to the next battle.

I think you misunderstood the argument. What he was saying is that pro-lifers WILL compromise, despite the fact that common wisdom has said for decades that they will not. Now that the cat is out of the bag, there is no reason to assume that other pro-aborts can run and win if they are appealing in other ways. Ergo, as a practical matter, the pro-lifers just lost a considerable amount of influence.
I don't see how he is wrong, unfortunately.
Posted by: Grey Fox at May 04, 2016 07:28 AM (bZ7mE)
I don't think you understood my argument. Yes, they can be bargained with in extreme circumstances. And even then, only a portion of them will defect. Plus the ones defecting are more of "lose the battle, win the war" types. In other words, they can be bargained with if you stick a gun to their head.

@730 the problem is the assumption that Trump is pro abortion and that pro lifers either know that and accept it or are too dumb to know it and are duped.
Well.
You know who was pro abortion prior to being pro life? George H W Bush.
Who pro lifers supported enthusiastically.

Labour doubles down on stupid:
Suspended Labour councillor Shah Hussain has been on the Daily Politics to defend comparing a Jewish footballer to Hitler. Apparently he is the victim of a "witchhunt"" "I'm a Muslim councillor and therefore my comments have been taken out of context".

GHW Bush attacked Reagan during the primaries then ended up as his VP.
So political consiferations and party unity sometimes require the hatchet to be buried and to let go of bad feelings.
Now Reagan taking Bush as his VP was a collosal mistake but that the way it is sometimes

He also laid out a convincing rationale for his conversion. Trump has not. He just ... changed his mind apparently.
As I've noted before, I'm a Single Issue on abortion, but very forgiving when people change.

Tomorrow is a big election. I sure hope London doesnt elect a Muslim mayor who was recently exposed for calling moderate muslims "uncle toms."

That's true, and it was Bush who described Reagan's economic policies as "voodoo economics" during the primary.

purely an illusion. We had the influence to elect a lot of flowery
speeches but nothing else.
At the very least it kept the issue on the front burner, and there have been some gains made on the ground level. I agree that it would have been good to see more concrete action, but the scope for that on a national level was pretty limited, as others have pointed out.

"World War II was also one of the few wars in history in which the losers, Japan and Germany, lost far fewer lives than did the winners."
That is because of the horrendous losses suffered by the Red Army. The Soviets lost perhaps 10 MM from combat and a total of 28 MM from all causes. The Red Army lost 10 MM primarily due to imcompetence during the first 2 years and a total disregard for casualities starting with Stalin and working its way down the chain of command.

"Swedish men should stop jerking off in public places or having unprotected sex and start donating sperm to help single women have babies, argues Stockholm-based writer Matilda Karlsson"
Sweden eliminated confidential sperm donation back in 1980 and as can be predicted sperm donations plummeted. Men don't want to face the progeny of their donation. There is a 18 month waiting list for sperm in Sweden.
