Huh. Taken as a whole, the various products and services that list of sponsors provides makes for one hell of a criminal escapade.

Quicken Loans and Lending Tree gives you the money you need to buy a new house from Century 21 in an unfamiliar neighborhood (with spending cash left over). Use eHarmony to stalk potential victims using GoToMyPC services through a remote connection to mask your IP. Use CARBONITE to securely store digital evidence off-site.

Woo your victim with flowers purchased from Proflowers. Drugs provided by Mission Pharmacal help you "convince" your unsuspecting victim to enter into dubious legal contracts, which you can expedite thanks to LegalZoom.com (also useful for setting up a new identity for later).

After you buy life insurance on your victim from both Mid-West Life Insurance and Life Quotes, you are ready to bring things to a grim conclusion. Without going into too many details, it involves hand tools, a vacuum cleaner with a wand extension, and possibly several replacement mattresses.

I'm surprised there aren't any travel agencies or car rental places on that list...

Curse of the Goth Kids: IMDWalrus: That seems to be what's happening with the entire Republican party. I have absolutely no idea who thought "hey, let's villainize women" was a smart political strategy, much less in an election year.

It's more of a natural reaction with them, I think. Things are not going well for them this election season and you catch too much flak these days for beating up on gays and ethnic minorities. So what do you do when you're a regressive troglodyte and you need to vent some frustration? Well, you punch the wife around a little don't you?


Gay people comprise about 10% of the U.S. population.
Black people comprise 15% of the U.S. population.
Women comprise half the U.S. population. HALF!

"If you use contraception, you are a slut" is a great position to take. You run with that.


Nice "redefining the term" to suit you position that I should pay for whatever your heart desires there. I have no problem what you do sexually, as long as it does not impact me financially. And that's what really pisses you off. That I expect you to deal with the consequences of your actions.

chuckufarlie: do you agree with the names he called this woman and do you approve him doing so?

Not particularly, but I also understand completely that this indignant outrage has nothing what so ever to do with "sexism" and everything to do with politically motivated nonsense. I've seen various female conservatives called all sorts of sexist names. There used to be a website purely dedicated to writing rape fiction about Ann Coulter.

Where were the paragons of liberal virtue then? Cut the BS, because you're not fooling anybody. Liberals are only concerned about "sexism" when they can make accusations against people like Rush Limbaugh, the rest of the time its either a grand joke to them, or they actively participate in it.

Corvus: Has you mother got birth control for covered in any part by her health coverage?

If so then you have no problem for us calling her a slut? Give us her number so we can all call her up and call her a "slut" because you say Limbaugh is right.


Call her whatever you like, and then lay awake at night wishing you had parents as kind and loving as mine, maybe it would have made you a decent human being.

teeny: How exactly are YOU paying for it? I have yet to hear someone explain exactly how this burden falls upon "the taxpayers". Are these the same "taxpayers" that don't complain about paying for you to go get a cavity filled every time your fat ass eats a candy bar?

You're missing a large portion of the argument aren't you? I'll fill you in.

She's a proxy for the entire debate. The debate being whether or not the government can force people, against conscious objection, to pay for insurance that covers birth control. If a private company wants to offer birth control coverage? Go right ahead. If you want birth control then either pay for it or find insurance for it but don't, through executive dictates, demand that it be provided to you.

I'm sorry, you thought this was just a limited, special case, and had no further impact or implications? Kids these days.

Ctrl-Alt-Del: You really are a hateful little slag, you know?

Yes yes, I'm so hateful that I think people should either pay for their own birth control or not have sex if they don't want children. What a horrible monster.

Bill Murray said I was weird: This Rush Limbaugh worship post brought to you by Fark's Premiere Cut and Run Coward

/should I use this for all replies to the little hatemonger? Or should I stick to continuing to bring up his public prayers for terrorist attacks to hit on Obama's watch?


Public prayers? News flash. I'm an atheist. I'm such a hater than I... gasp... want people to actually pay for their own damn birth control pills.

As stated above, if 'sexism' or 'hate' is a problem for you then you are roundly condemning any and all liberals who have ever used sexist comments directed at conservative women right? You, like everyone else, can quit BS'ing.

KiTTeNs_on_AciD: As long as I have to pay for Type 2 diabetes medications, everyone else gets to pay for mine and my wifes DINC lifestyle. Suck it.

Through private insurance? Okay, no problem. I don't know if the insurance company I use offers coverage for birth control, but if they do and you also happen be a customer of that company, then knock yourself out.

KWess: 'Until this moment, sir, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness .....You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?'

You deserve to be reported, and banned from this site.


'Make the bad man shut up mommy, he's saying stuff I don't like!'

I'm a horrible monster for expecting people to pay for their own birth control, got it.

beerrun: Add randomjsa to the list of those who don't have a clue about basic human anatomy as it pertains to birth control and
a woman's reproductive cycle. Right behind Rushbo on the list.
You sir, are a tool.


/looks at biology degree

Right, no idea what I'm talking about. No wait, that's you, because all I said was that I expected people to pay for their own birth control either through private insurance or through their own pocket. If they can do neither then they can not have sex. What a monster.

valar_morghulis: My mother, cousins, girlfriend, and aunts use or used birth control paid for by insurance. You call them sluts, you hateful little c*nt? Someone's gonna beat the sh*t out of you one day.

And then they're going to go to jail for it, but implying that people deserve to be beaten for expressing an opinion you don't like, and more to the point, didn't even understand properly, really shows some fine and upstanding regard for the ideas of free speech there citizen.

This is why I don't usually come back to respond because too many people flip the damn hate switch in their brain that mangles what I say until it becomes something they can feel "okay" about spewing vitriol about.

So...I've been over at the Fox Propaganda Network forums on this subject. I'm absolutely flabbergasted. I'm about to have an aneurysm from the stupidity. About 20 Republicanists on there have commented on how much this lady spends on birth control in a given year, then are dividing that up into how many coital sessions the lady must be having. They, in their infinite stupidity, believe that a woman needs to take a pill every time she has sex. One even argued with me saying I was an idiot for not know how birth control worked...

I've heard a lot of stupidity in my time. I've seen a lot of stupidity in my time. This is the first time in my life that I just about blacked out from seeing it. It's almost as if they are happy to wallow in their own stupidity.

buck1138: FuturePastNow: So when they grow up to be doctors and nurses you're ok with not being allowed access to their services.

What would occur is referred to as an 'exchange of goods or services'. For example, a doctor might cure some problem with my body, and in return I would give the doctor some money. This behavior is generally associated with an economic model called 'capitalism'.

You are implying that medical personnel will work for free for anyone who funded their education, even indirectly through tax-funded government provided schools and/or scholarships. Please note that this does not occur in the USA at present. Your idea would fall generally under an economic model called 'socialism'.
