Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2004 I wonder, was it Al Gore who coined the term pro choice, or popularized it? Cause I remember watching the vice presidential debates back when Clinton and Bush were running, and they were on him about being pro abortion, and he says "I am NOT pro abortion, I am pro choice!" and the spectators were cheering like they'd never heard it before.

Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2004 Not really. "Pro-choice" has been around since the early 80's. Pro-choice and pro-life picked up more popularity as time went on, developing out of the journalistic standards of "pro-abortion rights" and "anti-abortion." Everybody eventually got a "pro" that didn't include the nasty word "abortion" in the label. Gore definitely got a lot of mileage out of it, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted April 12, 2004 Thoughts: CWM really, really needs to care less about this place. Go like cut some trees or play with your kid. Take a breather. None of this matters enough to waste your time. It's really softbatch to call for somebody's banning just because you found their joke offensive. Grow some fucking nuts. Frigid missfired on a joke- let it go. Yeah, he's kinda weird at times, but he wants to be good people. Message board beef is LAME. Kingofthe909 needs a hug. Pro-Choice. Population control and what not. Banky is the voice of reason in this thread. Draw your own conclusions from that reality. You're an idiot. I didn't call for his banning because of this thread. I stated that I thought he never should have been unbanned in the first place. Next, I even said I wasn't offended. I said that it wasn't funny and was a very pathetic way of avoiding wishing death on someone. And Yes, I do take things to seriously. Abortion though is a very touchy subject for me that I'm not going to get into. My new found fatherhood has really mellowed me and seems to be making me ultra-conservative. I blame being sober. I''m willing to bury the hatchet with Frigid. By that I mean I'll ignore his stupid shit and respond only to his non-stupid posts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Dids Report post Posted April 12, 2004 Because they were at a rally, people do things like that at them. I think IDRM is confusing "abortion" with "the internet*". Which is probably understandable and appropriate. *- please note- Al Gore never actually claimed to invent the internet- and he does deserve a ton of credit for helping bring it to what it is while he was in congress.

Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2004 Be that as it may, I've never heard anyone, anywhere, ever use the term pro-abortion after that. I will give him credit for being the last pro-abortionist. I will not, however, give him any credit for helping bring the internet to what it is, because I don't feel like it.

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted April 12, 2004 My new found fatherhood has really mellowed me You're not mellow at all, you're always edgey and snappy. I think you need to go take your kid to the park and feed the ducks. The experience will be good for you, just don't go throwing alkaseltzer tablets rolled up in bread to the ducks...kid doesn't need to learn about that until he's at least 5.

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted April 12, 2004 I'm actually very good with children. You'd never believe it though from the way I act. Thing is, so long as I know I don't have to put up with them constantly I'm fine with them. My aunt would have me watch my little cousins from time to time. We use to just sit down and play Genesis. The only negative thing was they started copying me in regards to saying "Dirty Slut" when things would kill them on videogames. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted April 12, 2004 It wasn't a joke though. I truly think a trip to the park to feed the ducks with his kid would be good. I don't know how old the kid is but if its like around 1 and knows what's up he'll like throwing bread to the ducks. Just grab like 6 slices of bread and go to town. The kid will think its the coolest fucking event ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're trying to rip on CWM for his "supposed" erratic behavior with your terribly humourless alkaseltzer comment. I could give a shit what you say about anyone here, but what is most offensive if your one-dimenisonal jokes that lack any versatility. Please, if you're going to TRY to be funny - be funny. You aren't, and it angers me greatly. No one despises you for being a nutjob (which you are) we hate you because your posts are shit. They lack in substance, humour, and originality. While the world might not be better of having you in the workplace, we all sure as hell would. Find a fucking job or go to school. Its kinda sad when insulting CWM on the internet is your #1 priority. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted April 12, 2004 Banky what the fuck are you talking about? Stop trying to disect my posts for hidden meaning. I told him to take the kid to the park and feed the fucking ducks. Nowhere in there did I insult him. The only joke inside was I was subtly hinting that it would be ok to teach the kid to do the alkaseltzer thing at the age of 5 instead of 1, kids shouldn't know that...HAHAHAHA there you go. If you want to find hidden meanings in shit go to Egypt and decipher some fucking tomb writing, not my posts telling somebody to take their kid to the park.

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted April 12, 2004 Its not torture, their stomachs explode inside of them almost instantly and they die. If you eat meat you're just as guilty as me when it comes to hurting animals. If you don't eat meat then you're a pussy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
justsoyouknow 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2004 Are you seriously trying to say that eating meat and making a duck's stomach explode are the exact same thing? If PETA ever needed a spokesperson, you'd be great for the job. Torture is the act of bringing great physical or mental pain on another. Take your medication, nutjob, you're guilty of animal cruelty.

Don't act like you haven't Why do you think everyone else has shared the same misplaced and bent events as you? I've never fed a fucking duck alkaseltzer, nor has the notion of it never crossed my mind. I don't sit on my ass and think of how I can torture others, or write of manifestos about serial killers on a message board where people don't give a FUCK. Moreover, when one gets mad at me, I don't consider giving my phone number to them so we can talk it over. Your entire worldview is messed up. Honestly, its about time someone broke it to you gently. Well...I didn't do it gently...I did it in a manner where you will hopefully re-evaluate your life and recognize that you're wasting your time associating with people who would give a fuck if you're living or dead in a ditch.
