BTDT... Maybe they could bring it back?

Indeed. Minimal electronics for the win.

Years ago I saw a silver 427 Cobra in Indianapolis on the street and the license plate said "REAL". It was at the Formula 1 race so it had to be 2000 or 2001.

An entire town is dialing down it's Christmas plans, because a "private citizen" complained.


You stupid scared people wanna be "inclusive?"
Start by including THE MOST PEOPLE.

Don't worry about the few crybabies.

A girl on Facebook mentioned that since men can get multiple women pregnant, it would make more sense for the men to have the birth control, not the women.
She brought some numbers out about how he can impregnate so many a week, and in a year it would be some astronomical number. Or something like that. I kinda started to fall asleep before I got to the end of the paragraph.
I replied back, women take the birth control, because she's the one to get pregnant. If the man lies, then all those women will be pregnant.
Having male birth control, is like only letting the criminals hold the guns. It aint gonna work.

If it ain't visually verifiable, it ain't gonna work. When the moment draws near, men go lizard-brain and lies and assurances run rampant. That's just the way it is.

So where is this mythological baby-making man? Her argument falls apart when it assumes that the number of sexually active men greatly exceeds that of women. If the numbers are the same, then at least 50% needs effective birth control - pretty much either all men or all women. If you want to make the entire society shift to the men, that's a big deal. As to this needle in the junk - it sounds pretty involved to basically plug up the pipes with epoxy. It's sounds like a pseudo-temporary vasectomy.


A man has a financial incentive to not be makin' so many babies all over town - child support is expensive. Plus, one shot, then think of all the money you can save not buying condoms!



And if you can't trust your partner when it comes to birth control disclosure, then maybe you shouldn't be having sex with them.

That sounds meme worthy.

...in a discernibly turgid state...

That'd be a great siggy line right there.

Having been a lawyer for approximately 70% of my adult life, I have a tendency to think of things in statutory terms:

Lawyerly language makes it sound soooooo much dirtier than just saying, boner.

I've always thought so.

When in law school, did you ever work "discernibly turgid state" into a pick up line?

I'm sure it'd drive the ladies crazy.

 

[nonobaddog]

Maybe it works on lady lawyers?

Sure did...and I used the term "Model Penis Code" more than once.

...my wife of 3 years (at the time) let me stick around nonetheless.

Not if you are attorney general of Indiana...

At this point, the ACLU is just trolling us all.
