Romney loses election

[molly bloom]

Believe it or not, politicians can say a lot of ridiculous **** and get away with it. Witness Joe Biden.

Or Bushbaby, who could not only say ridiculous things, but could also say them in his own 'special' version of American English.


Or Ronald Reagan, claiming to have photographed the liberation of Nazi death camps despite not being in Europe for WWII. And that was before he 'officially' began to exhibit Alzheimer's.

What have you thought of?

18th-19th Century laissez faire capitalism, by the look of it- with a dash of Social Darwinism.

Those poor folks just ain't poor or suffering enough.

Regardless, the charity approach has been tried before and was inadequate.

Let's try it again! "Plenty" of people donate to charity so I'm sure it will be sufficient!

What happens to the kids at a school where there isn't a local charity willing to help?

They just wouldn't provide lunches at that particular school. Since when is the primary responsibility of a school to provide lunch?

This, btw, is BK admitting that children who live in poor neighborhoods that happen not to have charities should starve.

In the UK they will only perform 3 without further investigation.

...and what happens then?

[Hauldren Collider]

Oh good. You can only kill 3 people before someone thinks there is an issue. What a relief.

In the UK fetuses aren't people.

[Guynemer]

...and what happens then?

I believe they will have a doctor review the persons case etc. I don't know a lot about it, but I understand they tell people that they will not just perform more than three automatically to stop anyone using it as a form of birth control (not that I'm convinced many people would put themselves through that so easily anyway).

We're lucky enough to live in a country that isn't stuck in 1850.

It's stuck in 1850 in terms of equal creation of man.

What about women?

[Jaguar]

It is worth mentioning that young women now do significantly better in the schooling system now than young men do. I suspect that in my generation, women will be more successful in plenty of areas than men are.

Yes. Man sperm still aren't recognized as having the same rights

In your defense, doctors don't seem to see most of their patients as people: http://www.thedailybeast.com/newswee...-we-think.html

It's funny, in the UK doctors and teachers are two of the professions held in the highest regard. In the US they never seem to receive the same kind of appreciation.
