that's the one thing i love about Canadian law, i can put what ever i want in a contract and only the legal parts of the contract are enforceable, ie the thing about setting rape out of court wouldn't fly.
Does your Senator love (shielding government contractors from prosecution for abetting) rape?

My apologies, I took such an absurd thing literally. In my defense, the internet is bad at communicating sarcasm.Monkeyman8 said:

Well atleast my senators are safe. God Bless New York. The rest of the USA can go to hell. More or less.
EDIT: Nice title by the way. Made me laugh upon finding out what you were talking about.

Alrighty then, the senators more or less fall under "extremely lucky special ed students."Alex_P said:
Still though, I can't accept the fact that these people are idiots. They had to have some reason for voting against it, whether it be moral or not.
Yay! Alaska actually did well! I can be happy with that.
EDIT: Wow the spelling in that could not have sucked harder.

I live in the most liberal part of Kentucky (which houses its biggest city and more than 50% of all the black people in Kentucky, coincidence?) and we have been trying to vote out McConnell for years. Unfortunately we are only one district and the rest of the state (the hick parts) keep reelecting him, just like they reelected Bush. Fucking retards.
To clarify I have nothing against conservatives, Bush was a shitty president just like McConnell is a shitty senator the fact that they are Republican just seems like a coincidence.
Since Jefferson county is the largest, we do get the most members into the house of representatives, where it's usually unanimously democrats to try and outweigh the hick vote (again, the people I'm angry at aren't Republicans, they're hicks)

Just the amendment.thiosk said:
Full text from THOMAS:
As you can see, it's not just about sexual assault. (For context: defense spending bills also include rules about stuff like what kinds of benefits the contractors are allowed to offer their employees.)
As far as I'm aware, the debate centered around how much this bill was "punishing" Haliburton. I'd love to get CSPAN footage/transcripts for context, but I really don't know how.

You know, they might have a reason for voting Nay. I don't know what the hell it would be, I personally agree that a buisiness contract shouldn't limit your ability to pursue sexual assault cases. But they might have a reason for thinking that it's a bad idea.
Sorry for sounding kind of 'pro-rape', but your argument does sound a tad one-sided.

This is ridiculous. What was the case/bill/resolution called? I'm not going to form an opinion when someone is obviously trying to lead me along. I'm a republican and I know even if all of you don't that we don't like rape. There is an underlying reason for this that is not being addressed. This OP reminds me of any news station.
There is no political problem that can be addressed in two paragraphs. Not even segregation, if the southerners were able to (and eventually fail) attempt to fillibuster the equal rights movement and keep it up for 60 some odd days, then surely there is always two sides to every case (btw, not condoning segregation, just an example).
See, I went and read some of the other posts, this bill isn't just about rape. I don't have the patience to spend my free time reading what it is about, but my point has been made. And for clarification, no, I don't have an opinion on this bill, I just think this op is ridiculous.

You can see the vote record and the full text of the amendment on the Senate's website. Just follow the link from the OP [http://senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=111&session=1&vote=00308].theshadavid said:

Just a warning, if you say anything along the lines of "except Fox News" in a later post your entire arguement will be undermined.theshadavid said:
Although it is obvious that the OP has strong opinions on this subject, and it's not necessarily true that a vote for nay is a vote for rape, he's just trying to associate the two. I'll admit I was just venting toward my senator because he's been in office for 20 fucking years and people are starting to get their kids to vote for him.
