Just about the dumbest damn thing I've ever read
I'm not a visitor to Discussionist but when SheShe invited DUers to do a search for their moniker there, I googled to see what I could find. Nothing on Discussionist, thankfully, but my handle did come up as a thread on some bozo site called "Conservative Cave". It was a ludicrous (and of course, highly offensive) rail against my Hobby Lobby protest. Now just why, some asked, would a lesbian care about reproductive rights? What business was it of mine?
Well that was just about the dumbest damn thing I've ever read.
I'm not poor -- should I not care about poverty?
I'm white privileged -- should I not give a crap about how racism permeates our society?
I've no children -- should I not care about child abuse?
I'll be long gone before the full effects of climate change smack our world -- should I not give a plug nickel for the environment?
Yes, I'm a lesbian and an older lesbian to boot -- should the reproductive rights of all women be of no concern to me?
What an incredibly pathetic display from the logic-impaired over there. I'll say it again -- that was just about the dumbest damn thing I've ever read. So much so that I have to admit I'm still laughing.
Won't comment... just bring it over.
Away we go...

1. Our species is plumb ate up with *********...
(I cannot even type the word, for fear someone will alert on my post.)
OK... I lied. Since when are
lesbians KKKlams a species? Are they called Homo KKKlammus? Homo Carpetus Munchus? Homo ****is Lingus Maximus?
Apologies to all good ladies where ever they may be for my lame attempt at humor. I'll shut up now.

2. Some of us were young at one time and birth control was a part of my life.
I take the Hobby Lobby more of the same war which has been targeting females for some years. I don't know why many do not understand birth control is prescribed for more than birth control but when they run with the Todd Akin bunch and do not show interest female issues then they need to back off and leave these conversations to those in the know.

4. You'd have to read through that thread
The collective display of ignorance about women's health and biology was simply astounding. About the only appropriate response would be this --

7. I read it, it doesn't matter if one is lesbian or not, it pisses me we are being
Attacked. I haven't needed birth control for thirty years but the plain stupidity of those raising hell about BC, as I said sometimes it is prescribed for medical issues.

3. Agreed
Many people are clueless and insane in our world. I grow more and more convinced of this every day.
Dummies would be at the top of that list.

6. And SELFISH
This "if it doesn't affect me, I don't give a crap" attitude among conservatives (and even among some who claim to be progressives but aren't) really makes me wonder if our species is even capable of surviving our aggression and selfishness. I surely hope so.

9. Yes
And they are all learned behaviors. People are not born like that.
I also agree with you on the question of species survival. My intuition says we're at about 50/50 there...
So what... I thought homos and lizzies always say they are born that way?

5. The child abuse one was great
You should have stopped with that argument. It is powerful and simple enough to win without clouding the issue with weaker arguments. I don't have any friends with children since I only associate with college graduates with good jobs, but of course I still care about children.
Take a male to help you make a kid. Carpet munching not gonna get it.

8. Well um, thanks
I think.
I'm not sure what you meant by this, "I don't have any friends with children since I only associate with college graduates with good jobs". I wasn't aware the college graduates with good jobs don't have children.

20. About my comment
I work with over seventy other developers, and other than the Indian (from India) ones, not a one is in a relationship much less has kids. I just checked our HR system, and our average age is nearly 43 years-old. Our CEO paid for three months of match.com for the white developers and hired a couple of coaches to help, but not a one of us even got a date from it. I didn't even get a single reply from the nearly three hundred messages I sent despite taking notes in from the coaches and spending a couple of hundred hours writing. I know this isn't universally true, but from what I've seen college educated men are not having children.

19. So....your argument is college graduates with good jobs don't have kids?
Wow. That's a pretty amazingly dumb argument.

10. I am so sorry, the Handpuppet.
"What an incredibly pathetic display from the logic-impaired over there. I'll say it again -- that was just about the dumbest damn thing I've ever read. So much so that I have to admit I'm still laughing."
Well at least you are laughing.
Agreed on your points and here are mine.
I am white, that does not make me uncaring about racism.
I am straight, that does not mean I don't support LGBT.
I live paycheck to paycheck with little savings. I have to take from that to live. When that is gone i sure hope I am too. Yet I give small amounts when I can to help those less fortunate than I am.
As an older woman, I fear every day my job may no longer be there for me. They keep cutting pay and hours and replacing full time workers with part timers. Yet in my job I am vocal about this and fight anyway I can to help stop it.
I have no children, yet I have nieces and nephews I adore and would down right die for. For this reason I fight any way I can for their future. Yes, I am older too, yet I will never stop fighting for a future for them. I will do the best I can to save them from this mess we have made.

12. No need to be sorry, SheShe
Any time I can be of assistance in illuminating the utter stupidity of the right, all the better!
We're all in this together.

16. Being into Astronomy and Physics, my friends sometimes ask me about life "Out there"..
...and if Aliens will ever contact earth. I told one the other night:
"Oh the Aliens know we're here alright. They're just too smart to have anything to do with us"
I'd have to agree with the dummie. Any country that elects obumbles is not ready for more intelligent life to make contact.
Hell the Klingons wouldn't even want us.

21. Agreed
If alien beings are smart enough to find us, they are smart enough to avoid all of the drama and stupidity here.

18. That is pretty dumb.
And remarkably ignorant of the interlocutors in question, too.
"Conservative Cave" seems like an apt moniker.

23. Oh dear - if you want to hear really stupid crap,
you should visit our town's little cafe where the local farmers gather since they don't have a general store's pot belly stove to gather round. I went in there for breakfast once and almost lost it. They must've thought I was the crazy one, alternating between a beet red face and barely holding back an insane cackle. People around here still think that feeding a piece of bread to a dog will create worms in its stomach. Not promote worminess by ruining their health, but actually transforming the bread into worms. They were busy loudly wondering how that happens when I let out my first whoop.
I bet the farmers know a hell of lot more about animals and working the land than any fool at the dump.

24. it's not like they are known for their critical thinking skills
ya know?
They can just seem to feed themselves and others... but they are stupid!!! OK. Maybe they ain't got book learning. But they are a damn sight smarter than you dummies!! They can at least feed and house themselves. That seems to be a consistent problem with you dummies.

26. oh, I see I've been discussed at the cave too.
Harrrr Harrrr.
Don't feel like bothering to check the ravings of the post-doctoral candidates over there!
Hmmm... I may not have a PhD. I can however feed myself, house myself, clothe myself, by a car for myself, and do all this while managing to save enough for retirement all without the federal government.
Can you say the same thing, dummie?
<crickets>
That is it for now. Should grow to be a large bonfire.
