Was That Ignorant ***** in California Discussed?

[Agathon]

So this bint managed to have 14 children that she can't really afford to support, and its a major huge deal with Slowwhand saying she should be executed, or whatever the punishment in Texas is for having non-approved children.

Ask yourself this. Approximately how many deadbeat men in California have fathered over 14 children with different women that they have subsequently abandoned and left both the state and the woman to take care of?

Then ask yourself why everyone is up in arms about this one woman, who is clearly deranged, when there must be hundreds, if not thousands of men in California who are far more of a nuisance.*

Octowomb is as mad as a march hare, but at least she is suffering from a bona fide mental illness.

* I once knew a man who had fathered 21 children with about 15 different women. He'd never had a job, and was the sort of neanderthal that would make anyone believe in eugenic sterilization. He's far worse than this dame.

[SlowwHand]

Did you ever hear me condone dip**** men? I don't think so. Did you ever hear me once say that the doctors who were involved shouldn't be summarily beat also? Again, I don't think so.

I'll give you plenty of target at which to take aim. You don't have to make up trash.

[Zkribbler]

The second point is a much better one.

There really is no excuse for California being in the red.

Property values crash, pulling down property tax revenues.
People get laid off, pulling down income tax revenues.
Unemployment goes up, requiring unemployment insurance payouts.
Consumers get scared and stop buying, pulling down sales tax revenues.
Record numbers of prisoners, each costing more than a Harvard education.
Refusal by Republicans to pay-as-you-go, but who instead insist on borrowing, driving up interest payout on bonds.

So now comparisons with Anglina Jolie? Let me ask this, was her lip enhancement state sponsored?

At least I would have voted for that.

[SlowwHand]

Record numbers of prisoners, each costing more than a Harvard education.

You don't even want to get me started on that one again, Zk.

[Zkribbler]

Record numbers of prisoners, each costing more than a University of Texas education.

Better??

[Agathon]

Did you ever hear me condone dip**** men?

No, but I never heard you condemn them either. But I guess you were too busy making sexist attacks on this poor, mad woman.

It's quite likely that the Governor of California has fathered more illegitimate and unacknowledged children than this woman managed to squeeze out. And Arnold is probably an amateur compared to some of the state's resident rap stars.

In the grand scheme of getting the state to pay for raising children, this woman is a drop in the ocean. It's like those stories about the adult man who gets the state to pay for his circumcision because he's a weirdo. Or the few people who get sex-reassignment surgery on the public tab, or on their insurance company's tab.

It's chicken feed. California has real problems, like going bankrupt and having to let prisoners out, and not having enough money to track sex offenders.

It's the usual right wing complaint. In a large society, the laws of probability make it certain that someone is going to do something stupid or out of the ordinary. It's then apparently the job of the right wing media to pretend that this is the end of the world.

I mean, seriously, Bill O'Reilly scours the US until he finds three cases of a person who said something ill-advised, and then he turns it into a war on Christmas, or on heterosexual marriage, or on talk show hosts who assault women with falafels.

[MrFun]

You haven't seen "The Waltons"?

When I think of that show, I start gettng the urge to vomit.

[Imran Siddiqui]

I never heard you condemn them either

You are really not paying attention then.

So now comparisons with Anglina Jolie? Let me ask this, was her lip enhancement state sponsored?

This chick would even look a little like Angelina Jolie, given a few drinks and the right lighting. My theory is that she's bizarro-Angelina, a sort of distorted mirror image. Instead of adopting hordes of unwanted children, she churns out a whole lot of kids she can't take care of. Angie's incredibly rich, whereas this chick is dirt-poor; AJ is obsessively philanthropic, while this girl is apparently so absorbed in her desire to be a baby factory she can't even think of the future of her own kids.

The solution is clear: open a portal to bizarro-world and chuck her back whence she came. It wouldn't hurt to throw Aggie in too. And (just to win popular support for this plan) BK.

[Ben Kenobi]

Google isn't your friend.

Big quotes around the phrase 'non-violent'.

The long and short of it is that they are releasing a third of the prisoners. Now they may be on the non-violent end of prisoners, but that doesn't make them non-violent after they've been released.

Exactly. Thanks Aggie.

Property values crash, pulling down property tax revenues.

Same is true in these other states. California should have recognised that housing wasn't going to go up 10 percent every year.

People get laid off, pulling down income tax revenues.

Same in the other states.

Unemployment goes up, requiring unemployment insurance payouts.

Yep, this crisis isn't confined to California.

Consumers get scared and stop buying, pulling down sales tax revenues.

Same here.

Record numbers of prisoners, each costing more than a Harvard education.

So the solution is to let them out rather then cut back on their priveleges in jail? Bad solution.

Refusal by Republicans to pay-as-you-go, but who instead insist on borrowing, driving up interest payout on bonds.

You mean instead of jacking up taxes, they are calling for cutbacks. When your spending is 150 percent over your revenue, you've got enormous problems!

[Alinestra Covelia]

My theory is that she's bizarro-Angelina, a sort of distorted mirror image.

There's a pic in the "Funny Pictures Again and Again" thread that would probably be relevant right now.

[DirtyMartini]

do we know how she paid for her in vitro? it is quite expensive.
