Raping comatose children for decades

And the kind of macho guy who would name their son after John Wayne, she claimed, is more likely to be abusive to his son, and lead to him growing up with issues.

I agree. A better name would be Marion, or something.

[Argent_Towers]

Or Sue.

I know I probably says more about me but as I read this earlier today I thought “…you know there should be a person whose job it is to smash genitals flat with a mallet”

It’s more of a hobby, really.

My dad’s girlfriend and I discussed the “Wayne” issue one time and it was her theory that many of these fucked up guys named Wayne were probably named after John Wayne. And the kind of macho guy who would name their son after John Wayne, she claimed, is more likely to be abusive to his son, and lead to him growing up with issues.

Curiously, that’s exactly the theory posited by Chuck Sheperd in the News of the Weird link cited.

I’m not prepared to go on record one way or the other on the “fucking comatose children” issue at this time . . . .

This points out to me one of the great strengths of this Board, the ability to hear rational arguments on both sides of the issues. Even though the partisans going at it hammer and tongs in some of the most contentious threads don’t think they are making a difference, the uninformed can read those threads and make up their minds on some really challenging issues of the day.

I too am waiting to see further discussion in this thread so I can decide in an informed manner what I should think about the issue of fucking comatose children.

Keep up the fight against ignorance, guys.

@Indistinguishable

Surely there must be more prominent and well-known examples, since the link between “Wayne” and fucked-upedness seems to have been independently formed in the minds of several different people.

Google Wayne Williams, the Atlanta child serial killer, for starters.

Actually, seeing the thread title I thought this was going to be another rant about State Farm Insurance.

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! Well, it was something that went “Whoosh”, anyway…

I fell into that same pit not long ago. Just know that Vinyl Turnip has a finely developed and rather wry sense of humor; his post is much more rewarding that way.

and, unless I’m mistaken, perhaps you, too, should look up.

Yeah? Maybe. I actually read it that way until the last line of his post, which didn’t fit in for that interpretation.

Well, I’ll take your word on that…

@Amp

I’m PO’ed at your RO.

Well, I’m PO’d at you being PO’d at his RO.

[Auntbeast]

Sorry, throw me in the rubbish bin with the other folks who thought “damn Waynes are at it again.”

Fucking sicko.

[VinylTurnip]

Meanwhile, back at stately Wayne Manor…

Okay, thats so many places removed from you personally that it counts as RO

Why do you people keep bringing reverse osmosis into this? Granted, it’s a rather silly name for what’s basically filtration, but is it really worth getting worked up over? Or are there really that many distillation adherents on this board?

Actually, you’re correct that I must have been wooshed.

All this time I’ve been looking forward to this thread turning into a balanced, well-cited, closely-reasoned discussion of the ethical pros and cons of raping comatose children.

I must have missed the point entirely, and I thank you for pointing it out to me.

So I guess in the future we’ll be looking out for guys named “Clint” or “Arnold.”

Or maybe “George.”

@levdrakon

Well, why don’t they just install video cameras over the beds of anyone who isn’t in a position to grant or deny consent? Oh, yeah. We’re talking hospitals & the medical profession. It’d cost an extra $10,000/day.

Employees can also make a case for violations of their privacy, unfortunately.

I recall an episode of “Dr. G” in which she was examining the death of a nursing home patient that turned out to have been beaten to death in his room by an employee. IIRC, the employee’s attorney invoked privacy violations and the cameras were subsequently removed.
