When did this place become the home of anti-choice?
From the people bitching about people wanting to keep their lawns looking nice,
to the people wanting to outlaw football because of potential injury,
to the those who want to ban Pit Bull's for no reason, the ****ing authoritarianism of some is disgusting.
If someone wants to waste their time cutting their grass, then watering it, then cutting it again, let them, it is their freaking choice. It is your choice to close your windows and wait until they are done or be ok with their grass cutting.
If some kid wants to play football or soccer or rugby, and their PARENTS have no problem with the inherent risk, then it is no one's business to interfere. And if someone wants to adopt a pit bull puppy and love and care for it, then who cares if they want to adopt one.
Pit Bulls are amazing dogs, I have had three in my life and never felt anything but love for them.
I am a Democrat because I support Abortion Choice,
I am a Democrat because I support Gay Marriage Choice,
and I support Grass cutting every day of the week if someone wants to, playing football because a kid wants to and adopting a pit bull because someone wants to.
Take your jackboots and desire to control others somewhere else. I rarely post, but these last few days have infuriated me as I have watched others act like they are some kind of superior human because they don't cut their grass, or let their kids play football or they sign petitions to ban pit bulls.
The average American is not some ****ing anthropology specimen to study, and it is NOT ****ING WEIRD to want to cut your grass, play full contact sports or want specific dog breeds. GET THE **** OVER YOURSELF. Sorry for the rant, but it has been difficult watching these anti-choice sentiments here.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023486289Looks like this DUmmy has realized that the left is anti choice on everything, but abortion, and even then one must make the choice that is approved.
It is the left who doesn't trust a woman on how much salt she can have.
It is the left who doesn't trust a woman on how big her Diet Coke can be.
It is the left who doesn't trust a woman with a gun and instead tells her to piss and shit all over herself when attacked.
Yet somehow this same woman can be trusted with killing her own offspring.
What really amuses me is, when it comes to abortion they claim that no one should come between the woman and the doctor, yet under 0bamacare the government will be right there in the room every time the DUmmies go in for their latest hangnail, and they love 0bamcare because they think it will be free.

3. Well, for the first example, the lawns...

Watering lawns requires the use of the very definition of a public resource - water. Water spent hosing down an inedible, decorative crop is effectively wasted water. And the more arid your area, the bigger a waste it is. It in in effect squandering a necessary resource, just so your house in Arizona can look as though it's actually in an English meadow. There SHOULD be ordinances thaat restrict ornamental waster usage, and that give some sort of preferential treatment to using native regional flora as yard plants.
See you can't be trusted with water.

9. Shutting down golf courses would be an amazing environmental victory

Given the amount of fertilizer, herbicide, and insecticides they pour all over, plus the constant hosing.
What I do know is that someone running their sprinkler isn't using water from their bath tub to do it.
0bama likes golf way too much for that.

34. Exactly
But what the hell, we are just primitives that don't understand that mowing grass, playing football and wanting the dogs of our choice is inherently wrong and evil.
Yes you are primitives.

17. You have to remember that some people feel
That they know what is best for the rest of us. If they can't tell the rest of what to drink, eat, read, watch or do, why they feel they are the ones being oppressed.
If we would only LISTEN to them, and do exactly what they tell us to do, why the US would be a perfect place. Of course all their finger waving is just for our own good.
That's right you leftists do just that. You think you know how everyone must live their lives and want to force people to comply.

53. Pro-Choice on Abortion until Third trimester
Pro Choice on gay marriage, or better yet, complete equality for gay and lesbian couples in all areas of public life.

71. so in the third trimester you get to
Tell the woman what she should do?
How very magnanimous of you to grant two trimesters of choice before imposing your views on strangers.
Are you a republican by the way?
Not sure if that is sarcasm or not, but it does sum up DU pretty well. If you aren't for allowing abortion until 10 minutes after birth then you must be some kind of right winger.

77. It isn't universal...
Choice is only for certain things... The right things...
Other things should be dictated because people don't know what is best and thus require enforcement in some form or another (economic, legal, social) to properly conform.
There we go, either this is a mole, or a DUmmy being honest about leftism.
