You never got laid in high school, did you?
Clearly, you’re a man with the facts on his side.
It is a little silly of him to assume you’ve gotten laid since.
It’s a little silly to assume Hyperelastic went to high school.
Mandating insurance coverage of X, and mandating that everyone buy insurance, means everyone has to pay for X because the government says they do, not because they need it. It’s the same as a tax. So no, I won’t change my mind.
Yeah. And if you can’t afford travel-related prescription medications, then just don’t travel.
And if you can’t afford medications for disfiguring but routine conditions like acne and psoriasis, then just stay home or wear concealing clothing.
And if you can’t afford medications for mild arthritis, then switch to a healthier lifestyle or just buy a fucking cane.
Because you see, I get to decide what parts of your health care are important and what parts are frivolous or not serious enough to warrant using some of my insurance premiums to pay for them.
And if you disagree with me, that’s just the same as your mooching off me to pay for your groceries.
Hey, I didn’t go to high school and yet somehow I can tell the difference between groceries and prescription pharmaceuticals, and, taxes and insurance premiums!
CMC fnord!
I can’t, today at least, spell “pharmaceuticals” or “premiums” though . . . which is why my uneducated ass insists on having a spell checker with my browser.
As I said, I suspected you wouldn’t. Because you aren’t a thinking person, you’re a set of unchanging beliefs with a heart beat.
Aw, to be fair to poor out-of-his-depth Hyper, I think he was just implying that I’m one of those golddiggin’ or welfare queen kinda wimmin. Which is kinda hilarious if you know anything about me.*
Of course there’s no reason for Hyper to know anything about me, but there’s also no reason to assume that just because I support insurance covering birth control, just like there’s no reason for me to assume that because he doesn’t, he steals change from the cups of blind beggars.*
**But I kinda do.
I don’t understand why all these men are proposing the “close your legs” theory. I also don’t understand why any thinking woman would have sex with a man espousing it.
Considering that increased birth control use leads to lower health care costs overall, it would be a tax of negative dollars… are you opposed to lowering costs for everyone?
Especially when you consider that not one of them would argue for morally equivalent positions such as the following:
-
It’s unfair mooching to use the insurance premiums of animal rights supporters to pay for prescription medications that are tested on animals.
-
It’s unfair mooching to use the insurance premiums of fitness advocates to pay for prescription medications to treat mild cases of diabetes or hypertension that could be controlled with diet and lifestyle changes if the “victims” weren’t such lazy asses.
-
It’s unfair mooching to use the insurance premiums of euthanasia supporters to pay for massively expensive treatments to prolong the lives of very elderly terminally ill patients for a few brief pain-filled weeks.
In short, pretty much every medical drug or treatment you ever heard of is going to seem unethical and/or unnecessary to someone. But the only one that these anti-contraception militants ever bother to get excited about is the one that gives them an excuse to call sexually active women whores and sluts.
Oddly enough, it seems that companies pick insurance companies that cover, or don’t cover, similar items, when they offer a choice of insurance companies to their employees at all. Most people who have health insurance either have it through their employers, or it’s a government thing.
This all reminds me of back when smoking was allowed in restaurants. Nonsmokers who didn’t want to eat in a fog were told to just find a nonsmoking restaurant. In many areas, those restaurants were either very rare or completely non-existent. As for non-smoking sections in restaurants, those were a joke. If the table next to me is a smoking table, I am, in effect, sitting in the smoking section.
When stores select sizes of shoes or garments to carry, they generally won’t select all sizes. They will only select the most common sizes, unless the store is a specialty store which will charge a specialty price. So a man who has a narrow foot, or a woman who has a wide foot, will not find ANY shoes in their width in most shoe stores, or most department or discount stores that carry shoes.
My point is, the free market WON’T necessarily provide all the choices that consumers want.
In a Free Market (blessings and peace be upon it!), the employer is the closest and truest representative of its Wisdom. Therefore, it falls to the employer to make those sorts of decisions. Big Government should not be allowed to intrude.
You’re depicting sexual acts with children on the internet?
Seriously?
I’m surprised no one noted that Limbaugh continued his stupidity the next day and showed everyone what’s really on his mind:
We don’t know how old your daughters are, Scylla. I assumed they’re adults since you sound like my addlepated grandpa.
Care to explain why Fluke is a brazen slut? If not, go the fuck away, you useless turd.
You think he keeps a spreadsheet of ages of posters’ children?
How about you answer the question about what actions of Ms. Luke made it appropriate to call her a slut?
Then go look up the definitions of “depict” and “describe.” Then go read some law books. Then piss off.
What “children”? Your daughters are 19 and 22.
Which is at least as accurate as your characterization of an unknown contraception-coverage advocate as a “brazen slut”.
