You wanna go down this route? Why is a murder on a pregnant woman considered double homicide ?

Because we have a fire and brimstone sense of justice in this country. IF you can charge someone with one count of murder, why not two?

I mean we put kids in jail for life who go to a robbery with a friend of a friend, who brings a gun and shoots someone, and the guy along for the ride is charged as if he pulled the trigger.

Makes no sense

Looking forward to the day that hideous man reaches for a bar of soap on the floor of the prison shower.

Since a lot of the people responsible for this barbaric treatment believe in hell I hope they enjoy rotting in it.

Yet yesterday you said I was repugnant or whatever it was for saying these people should be put on trial. Now they should burn in hell.

A bit of consistency would be nice.

It's going to get a lot lot worse, unless something radical is done.

Some liberals lost their heads in here yesterday at the suggestion we might need some decisive direct action. Apparently that makes you as bad as the scunbags enacting these things.

I can go many places with this, but i'll start here - if life begins with a heartbeat, why can a woman not claim an unborn child on her tax returns?

Of course not. You dont honestly expect these people to really view a 6 week old collection of cells as a human do you?

I wholeheartedly support extra funding our mental healthcare. I think that's one of the major changes that needs to happen so we can control the mass shootings that happen.

So, ignore all the shootings and murders by "sane" people in the US and keep arming them!! LOL

@emir and his ilk will be absolutely made up.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

I know it would be very difficult. Just because I vote red doesn't mean I agree with every single GOP policies off the book.

Just the properly heinous ones

 

[LinekersLegs]

@RAFUH - Does this sound plausible?

Just peachy to have another MTG

Ignoring somebody doesn't make a healthy discussion. The best way to have a healthy discussion is despite having disagreements, is being civil and remaining calm. Despite being called all kinds of names here, I've been very tame and have hardly name called anybody yet people said to me far worse things like "my father should've aborted me". I'm here because I'm very interested in sharing my views even if it challenges the mainstream thinking. This place would have been very boring if everyone just circled-jerked with the same views. I bring something unique to the party.

I'm obviously going to be camped up in CA when the political climate of my country is very heated and there's no current football on.

My father has been the biggest inspiration in my life and he has given me guidance to my faith.

Bro, you told us that Daddy didn't want you to be born and it's clear he doesn't love you. Seems like it's you that needs the therapy, not the rape victims.

 

[WA Toffee]

You believe that every life is precious right? Science tells us that life begins with the heartbeat at 6 weeks. This isn't a theory.

So abortion in the first 6 weeks after a child is raped would be ok?

Do Brits even have a dog in this internal fight (since you're calling for a revolution)? How do you feel about Poland? Will you kill their chief justice because they too forbid abortion?

Don't get me wrong, this is a step in the wrong direction for the US, but its a different country with different customs and demographics. Let them battle it out...

The democrats should just expand the court to 13 justices and be done with it.

Is there an

I fully endorse this.

He's an interesting case. Camped out in CA, generally only venturing into other forums when there's a cultural, religious, or racial component. His father working in the US to overturn basic rights of women for 20 years yet seems to have only surface level understanding of the US social/health services.

Who's his favourite soccer toffee?
