Um, no, he's not filibustering, he's giving a long speech & by the way, he's wrapped that up now after 10 & 1/2 hours. If he would have gone beyond midnight, it would have been a filibuster. He quit 15 minutes before midnight.
He claimed to be filibustering to try to impress his base as a Presidential candidate. Experts disagree. And you're off base here too. Most, if not all of us oppose the Patriot Act & support efforts to remove it entirely, or at least water it down.
Abortion is not a pretty option and we should work to reduce it.
Which is why you support birth control access, comprehensive sex education and other proven measures to reduce unwanted pregnancies right?
Because moralistic grandstanding is all fun and games in theory, but in reality it helps no one. The problem with abortion isn't that it's legal, the problem is that it is necessary. If you actually care about lives, then you would realize that criminalizing abortion endangers more lives than it "saves"
Unless of course it's about punishing women for having sex.
I wonder what guys like him in power would do if you told them you were on your period, that very moment talking to them, and that you have to change your tampon? It's like having sex with a small cotton dildo every waking moment for a week. We'd see laws all over our menstrual cycle the way they have purity balls and promise rings for their pre-teen daughters.
(Also, too I was just the teeniest bit stumbling drunk last night, I'm not now but I still don't get Lizzietish81's reply: I'll have to put that one down to being old and living under a rock.)
So now that all their posts are deleted I'm left to wonder if they slunk out in shame or suffered the Banhammer of Loving Correction.
Edit: I should have scrolled down, sorry Thursday is Date Night. Though I can't recall seeing this many comments actually deleted, I'd always assumed "Deleted Comments" were ones that never actually got out of the moderation queue.
they should be. it's not like i haven't thought about it. and i'm an atheist. just could NOT work out a way to get them all in there.

Nature disagrees with you. Mammals abort fetuses all the time if the mother is in danger.

Just dive right in, preferably with lube, you'll be immersed soon enough.

Or, as you probably said back then, "Beat it, you curly haired freak!"
"Gym"? Is that code for someplace else you don't want us to know about?
Thanks, that was the least awful interpretation.

Nah, just me coming in late to slap Irene around.
My fiancee being one of 'em. Lifelong Republican, but she finally had enough and is now registered as an independent.
I thought it was about ethics in gaming journalism?
I 100% agree with this. ^^^^^
