Ive been thinking that on the weekends my daughter is at her Dad's I've been acting like a hermit.

who destroyed that marriage? was it you? wake up, repair it, start it again. it was good enough to concieve a baby in. your daughters metaphorical soul is a stake. you fiddle around with uu?......where do they find these moral infants? seems, more often than not, they're the woke ones

ChestRockfield replies on Oct 27, 2021:

@holdenc98 This is the kind of person you wish to emulate: "he promoted eugenics and alphabet reform, and opposed vaccination" "often wrote and spoke favourably of dictatorships of the right and left—he expressed admiration for both Mussolini and Stalin" The funniest part of your linked article is: "In his will, Shaw ordered that, after some specified legacies, his remaining assets were to form a trust to pay for fundamental reform of the English alphabet into a phonetic version of forty letters.[7] Though Shaw's intentions were clear, his drafting was flawed, and the courts initially ruled the intended trust void." HA HA HA! What an idiot. I wonder if it was 'flawed' because of his use of his idiotic notions of reform. Agreed upon definitions of words and proper usage of punctuation are how we clearly and effectively communicate. To * intentionally * misuse them only serves to confuse your reader, show you have no regard for their time, and out yourself as a total fucking asshole. And that, sir, you need no help with.

@holdenc98 While she's repairing her marriage, can you learn to spell?

I think people believe god exists because their parents said so.

ChestRockfield comments on Oct 22, 2021:

Their parents aren't lying to them, they believe it too...

ChestRockfield replies on Oct 27, 2021:

@DragonDust Of course they're wrong, they just don't know it, so they're not lying. Lying doesn't mean to say something that isn't true, it's to be intentionally deceptive. Would you say that a scientist that reported on preliminary results that mislead him to the wrong conclusion was * lying? *

@Seriousreason Yeah, that's not really what sinking into the ocean means. You're suggesting I was saying I wanted all the people at NASCAR events to go for a swim?? Yes, both parties have problems, but they're not equivalent. One party wants to completely control women and potentially kill the ones that end up with life-threatening pregnancies, prevent people from marrying the one they love, destroy democracy and install a king, etc. What do democrats do that's even a fraction as bad as that? And what law do you think Fauci broke he should be arrested for?

Let me use this post as a place to ask a question: Would you want to live for a thousand years?

ChestRockfield comments on Oct 24, 2021:

I have a buddy that has such a horrible case of FOMO that given a continuation of his current state of health, he'd want to live until the heat death of the universe. I can't wrap my brain around that at all..

ChestRockfield replies on Oct 25, 2021:

@skado That's my word for it I guess, but he did say he didn't want to miss anything that might happen, so I don't know how much of a stretch it would be. I don't think that's a possibility according to the theory...

Same as intelligence. My mom gets mad when I say I wish I was born with Downs, but they seem to have an infinitely better life than me.

@FrayedBear Even if that were true, though I don't know what qualifies you to make that claim, it still wouldn't matter, people want what the other has all the time.

Fernapple comments on Oct 24, 2021:

Why would percentages matter to someone who is arguing about absolutes anyway ? Though I would not point that out to him, logic is usually met with aggression.

ChestRockfield replies on Oct 24, 2021:

Yeah, I never argue percents on topics like that because they are completely irrelevant. If you're the 1% that gets their autonomy taken away when you need it, I'm sure it feels like it's 100%. Also, it's not any kind of comfort that most of the other women that had their rights taken away didn't * need * the abortion like you did.

ChestRockfield replies on Oct 23, 2021:

@Seriousreason Maybe there was a miscommunication. I said I wouldn't mind if NASCAR events sunk into the ocean, and you said, "I'm sure the feelings mutual." What I thought you meant by that was that Republicans hate me and want me to die so I can't fuck up their idea of America just as much as I hate Republicans and want them to die so they can't fuck up my idea of America. Apparently, that's not what you meant to convey, so I apologize, but please clarify what you did mean to say.

ChestRockfield replies on Oct 23, 2021:

@Triphid I think addiction generally has a 'despite negative outcomes' aspect to it. Personally, I don't know that I'd classify any rain dancing or some religious beliefs/practices as addiction.

ChestRockfield replies on Oct 22, 2021:

'Addiction' is interesting wording. If a child was raised to belive you needed to do a dance to make it rain enough to have a good harvest, would that also classify as an addiction?

I have disowned almost every single family member for the same reason. I did have one question though. You said they don't realize they are taking about you, but you also said you want to lead by example. Are you not "out" to all of them, or are they just stupid Republicans that can't put two and two together if it's for anything other than fucking over poor people, women, and minorities?

ChestRockfield replies on Oct 21, 2021:

@Trajan61 Ha ha ha. You think conservatives have * rejected * big government? You have to be delusional to still buy that lie that your party wants a tight budget and that fiscal conservatism fosters economic growth and prosperity for all. You probably still believe in trickle-down economics. If you * actually * cared about the things you say you cared about, you'd vote Democrat, as they have historically outperformed Republicans since the Truman administration in every important metric. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._economic_performance_under_Democratic_and_Republican_presidents#:~:text=Historically%2C%20the%20United%20States%20economy,growth%2C%20and%20stock%20market%20returns. Democrats don't want government to "take care" of everyone so much as guarantee basic human rights and needs. The happiest people in the world live with governments that do that. You are being fooled. The truth is, the reason there are so few conservative atheists is that people who * become * atheist do so because they generally reject bullshit devoid of any supportive evidence, thus, they reject the nonsense lies you were told and bought. I imagine some of you were raised atheist, so you don't have that bullshit detecting/rejecting quality that turns someone atheist, while others are just greedy, stupid, or both.

ChestRockfield replies on Oct 19, 2021:

@HippieChick58 Don't know what you meant by 'it' in it will happen. We will continue to have children? Sure, for now. Soon things will start to get worse at an exponential rate. The worse it gets like greater the likelihood people will factor it in to their decision and fewer people will have them. I imagine it will start in areas of the world where they are worse off economically, and in areas most hit by climate change that will cause either droughts, floods, mass migration, food shortages, spikes in disease transmission, and a host of other terrible inevitable consequences.

ChestRockfield replies on Oct 19, 2021:

@FrayedBear Where do you come up with this nonsense? 1. I would be fine being either. I'd also be proud to walk women into abortion clinics and defend them from pieces of shit like you. 2. I would love to be comforting to a woman in pain, and would prefer that if a woman wished a pregnancy was mine that it was one she aborted instead of one she carried to term. Children are awful; sometimes they grow up to be cunts like you, and who wants to risk that? 3. Abortion doesn't cause cancer you twit. And your story doesn't make any fucking sense. She had 13 abortions, but she tries to trap men by having their babies? Doesn't really add up. There is one thing you could answer for us though, is being insanely stupid, physically painful in any way?

@mcgeo52 That's the problem, you are saying properly run, and I don't belive we have a properly running election system because there may be millions of people who want to vote but can't for a multitude of reasons that a properly built electronic system could fix. As for wire transfer fraud, that's not really applicable. You're taking about hacking an automated system, not tricking people into sending money to the wrong person. The equivalent would be hacking a bank and transferring money into your account. Show me where that has happened and I'll concede.

@mcgeo52 Ignoring the constitutional problems, it's hard for me to imagine that every major financial institution in the world conducts trillions of dollars of business digitally of it's so insecure it's as bad as the potential for hanging chad and torn ballots. Unless you have some evidence (which couldn't exist because the government hasn't attempted to build a secure digital voting system) I don't think there's anything you could theorize that would make me believe you're right on this one.

@FrayedBear Well, you're just a fuckin' idiot if you think I'm the illogical one. Coming from the guy that jumped from argument to argument, each more ridiculous than the last, suggesting women can maintain complete control their bodies by: "keeping their knees together" forgetting that rape exists "having their tubes tied" even though they'd have to do that at an insanely young age to guarantee prevention (youngest person to ever give birth was 5 years 7 months, so you're suggesting an elective reproductive surgery at 4 years old https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lina_Medina) and they could still get raped and impregnated if they ever had it reversed to start a family "making sure Plan B exists" even though women in captivity don't have access to it Just rereading what you wrote makes me think you're that much more of an asshole.

@FrayedBear False accusation? What the fuck are you talking about? I never brought up the morning after pill because it's irrelevant to the discussion. You seem to think its existence is a reason to deny a woman who was held captive and repeatedly raped an abortion though which is why * you * mentioned it. And * you * thinking it's murder is also irrelevant. It's not your body and you're not the one attached to that tiny soccer player. You already admitted that the soccer player has no rights to your body and have been unable to detail a sufficient difference between a fetus and the soccer player, so you've already conceded the argument.

@mcgeo52 So you're telling me you think it's impossible for the US Government to create a secure online voting system? Give me a break. If they could secure trillions of dollars a year in electronic financial transactions they * could * have secure electronic voting.

Mayo? You've had mayo and banana sandwiches?

In America people seem to think they have to have control over a woman's body. That's part of what the abortion issue is. I think women should have control over their own bodies just like men do with theirs. Abortion is not a light issue but it is not birth control either. They have pills for birth ...

@FrayedBear MY argument is arrogant?!? You realize 11 year old girls have gotten raped and impregnated, right? So you're suggesting that 10 year old girls, who don't even have the legal capacity to consent for an elective surgery, should all know what rape and pregnancy are, understand the ramifications of the law that some misogynistic asshole thought up, and preemptively have a tubal ligation she'll hopefully be able to undo if/when she wants to have a baby, just in case she gets raped? Oh, but wait, say she does all that to appease you (even though I doubt you could even find a doctor that would perform that surgery on a child or even teenager) and after she gets the surgery undone gets raped and impregnated, then what? Dumbest fucking argument I've ever heard in my entire life. Notice how you didn't say rapists should get a vasectomy if they don't want their rape victims to abort their precious fetuses. You are the most ridiculously misogynistic person I've ever talked to.

@FrayedBear The frequency is irrelevant. If you ban it for all like you want, you ban it for the ones that were raped. You can't get around that. So, for the 4th time, does the soccer player have rights to your body?

These 12 are good, however, there is at least one more: 13.

@mcgeo52 Who cares about a paper record when there's a digital record? It's good enough for the trillions of dollars a year we transfer to each other without paper checks anymore, but it wouldn't be good enough for something millions of people don't even give enough of a shit about to do? Come on...

Should we dance on the graves of black people who died from COVID?

Anytime you try to compare a modifiable trait to a non-modifiable trait, you're setting yourself up for failure. Being a Republican is part of the root cause of the problem whereas being black isn't (even if there's some correlation). Of course, if you don't even understand a principle as basic as...
