No-one has suggested your father did not make sacrifices or do good things, but he was exempted from a requirement to fight in a war. You seem to believe both that the requirement to fight placed on others and your father’s exception were/would be acceptable. Frankly I have more of a problem with the first of those…

I believe that the right to refuse to serve is a fundamental human right.

This is precisely why women can’t be SEALs. Their periods put the whole team at risk for a shark attack!

They're going to attract bears!

Just what we need, women menstruating all over our nice battlefields.

I’m in favour of abolishing the draft entirely.

OMG, that makes perfect sense! It’s like people with fake problems: the have to invent persecution in order to feel special!

Thank you for saying that. It always rubs me the wrong way the way they talk about people with Down syndrome. You have put words to it.

I’ve heard that it’s one of the reasons American evangelicals claim that everyone is trying to persecute them even though they’re incredibly privileged... If suffering and persecution mean that God loves you, but you’re not suffering and you’re not persecuted, doesn’t that mean that God doesn’t love you?

Plus the forced-birthers tend to focus on the single gal who uses abortion as birth control, rather than a married woman with kids who experiences a birth control failure while performing her wifely duties. That way they can rant against the circumstances of the conception rather than contemplate how they would feel…

repeat after me: correlation is not causation

I’ve long held the opinion that forced birthers from every country are the same. They’re against abortions for all those random sluts, but when they or a family member needs one, that’s when abortions are acceptable. As mosquitos can’t differentiate between the poor and the rich, I wouldn't be surprised to see at…

I’m sure Mike Huckabee would have absolutely NO PROBLEM at all looking a Zika infected woman and denying her an abortion. He thinks 11 year old rape victims should have to carry their rapists baby to term as well.

Just last night I watched the episode of Star Trek where Data experiences his first emotion - anger - at having his life threatened by a Borg. He kills the Borg with his bare hands, and then experiences his second emotion - pleasure - at having killed the person that was trying to harm him. I imagine my emotional arc…

The incident only ended when his parents arrived.

Well a group of Unown tap into the memories of a young girl who’s father was kidnaped by the Unown and then reconstruct a memory of her father in the form of an Entei (who is voiced by Dan Green of Yugi-Oh fame in the dub) and then cover her home in crystal while also projecting her hearts desires within her home to…

Have you seen the original opening to the movie, with Mewtwo as a baby? They translated it but cut it out of the original US releases because it’s almost guaranteed to make even the stoniest of hearts weep.

You should also take a look at Mewtwo Returns, that hour-long follow up to Mewtwo Strikes Back, which includes a 10 minute scene that was cut from the original movie because 4Kids thought it was too disturbing. It leaves out that whole part about the lead scientist trying to clone his dead daughter... oh, and how a…

It really is just the purpose behind their fighting. Normally they’re fighting for competition, to become more powerful, to show off, etc.

Oh for f***’s sake, it can’t be that old, I saw it in the god-damn theatre!
