Getting raped is like getting a flat tire. Also, it's God's will. Fancy that.

[Madara XIII]

You mean this quote?

"Tea partier Sharron Angle raised eyebrows during the 2010 midterm election by suggesting rape and incest victims who become pregnant and do not have an abortion made a "lemon situation into lemonade" -- but at least she lost and cannot mandate that rape victims make lemonade"

HOLY HELL, there is no, and I mean NOOOOOOOO excuse on earth as to why anyone should hold that view. Rape is a very traumatizing event and you can't expect people to get over it and raise a child if it was conceived through that method.

Yeah, that one. Unreal, isn't it? I felt really sorry for Republican voters during that election...Her or chickens for healthcare lady.

Well I'd prefer my Chickens stay at optimal health for good eating.

Secondly not only is that statement unreal, but the candidates they get are unreal. Healthcare for Chickens or Rape is God's will. Wow what a choice.

Honestly it's like every person in office was conceived through their family out in the Backwoods part of the country.

They make Deliverance look sane....and Deliverance did THIS

In their defense, "It was God's Will"

I tend to side with the republicans in some areas. However, its the fringe social conservatism that has become more central to the party philosophy that is pushing me rapidly towards independent status.

Also pushing me independent is the marginalization of the truly wacky faction of the democratic party by the obama administration (GO BAMA) and the retardedness of mitt romney.

...............never liked kansas anyway.

God dammit Dorothy

LMAO makes me want to go somewhere over the Rainbow as well.

 

[shitoutonme]

Actually, I agree with DeGraaf and support such motions in politics. As a conscious misogynist, I'm very pleased to have people like DeGraaf in office, and when it comes to rape involving women, I've always supported the blame-the-victim stance, what with the way women prance around with a stifling air of entitlement and unwarranted bitchy attitudes.

The feminists are friggin' takin' over, people! And old farts in office are keeping them at bay! Women get too much leeway already, as far as I see it; there are so many favorable double standards in play for them that it sickens me. That's why news like this always puts a smile on my face.

And no, I can't be asked to explain why I'm taking this position, so don't bother asking. But yeah, keep DeGraaf in office!

Meh I've been independent mostly to point and laugh at the Left Wing Dings and at the Extreme Right Wingers

It's fun to see both extremists in office though. Now we just need some SUPER LIBERAL NUT to go in a bout with DeGraff and take bets.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

That has got to be one of the one of the most twisted, warped bits of logic I've ever heard.
I think they need to be raped up the ass by a gang of gay men and then see how they feel about "God's will" and "flat tires."

I'm not sure if I should blame the stupidity of that backwards ass state, the man himself for saying it or this country in general.

Personally, I'd go with all of the above.

 

[Ogargd]

No i don't agree with them, they hypocritical scum that they are, how would they enjoy being raped. I'm an atheist and if you claim anything bad as gods will in my eyes you are a sick malevolent human being.

 

[Merkavar]

so where is the uproar? the demands for him to step down? hasnt he just lost the confidence of at least 50% of the population(being the women there)?

 

[DracoSuave]

It's not so much that he's suggesting rape is a random event, but that a large proportion of the population should actively spend time planning for the eventuality. It is also the context in which he's saying it, it pretty much comes down to 'expect to be raped, and then expect not to be able to do anything about it after the fact'.

The issue is not that he equates rape with a random event, but that his suggestion is that people should be prepared for it. I.e. that women should invest time into thinking about the

Except that women have that preparation already, and he is legistlating so that they no longer have that protection and must seek other protection.

It's like passing a law that says that all boats must no longer have life preservers, and that you should instead buy your own, just in case, and then saying that it is smart to be prepared.

They WERE prepared. Now they are not, because of that legislation.

 

[Kopikatsu]

Nah, and he'll almost certainly get re-elected for another term. That's just how we roll in the US.

America, Fuck Yeah!

 

[Mercsenary]

It is not that rape is now legal. The article is stating that what the Kansas representative said is stupid on a level that is unimaginable.

So... women should be prepared for rape and thus have some kind of plan?

GEE I WONDER WHAT THE INSURANCE THAT COVERS ABORTION WOULD BE.

Oh but you know abortion is bad and who cares about women anyways amirite?

america, fuck yeah? to me your saying america is full of brainless idiots. if he gets re-elected it will just reinforce this comment and is further proof the US political system is backwards and need to be overhauled

if thats his view on rape what other retarded oppinions does he have? what other laws will he support for reasons as stupid as rape is like a flat tire?

 

[TheFinalFantasyWolf]

"I don't think we're in Kansas anymore Toto"

"GOOD! That place is shit crazy!!"

LOL, but seriously this guy needs to be raped, then be told not to complain, cause it's what was bound to happen. XD tsk the moron

Besides he wouldn't see it coming. Not to seem sexist, but that can also be a factor in his attitude towards rape. It's not something that men fear of happening, at least not usually. So since they never really see sex as a terrible thing like that. It's all simply taken in stride and claimed "well she might as well lie there and enjoy."

Jeesh some people are so backward, it's unbelievable.

 

[Darius Brogan]

Well, for me, this is just another number on my 'List of why humans are stupid'

I find it hilarious that this asshole said that, and evidently didn't bat an eyelash.

Seriously? 'I have a spare tire on my car'? So this guy is comparing driving over a random sharp-object lying on the road, that just happened to be large enough to puncture his tire, with some sexually uncontrolled, morally void fuck-head deliberately HUNTING DOWN women, and raping them? Whatever he's on, should be WAAAAY more illegal than it is, or isn't, whatever the case may be.

Planning ahead for rape shouldn't be necessary in the first place. Even then, 'abortion insurance' is just plain stupid. It won't help the women that got raped to know that she's ngot good insurance, because she JUST GOT RAPED.

I could see carrying around a big-ass pistol and blowing the guys balls off being called 'preparedness', because, if he's got no balls, and is bleeding all over the pavement, you don't have to worry about getting pregnant now, do you?
And if 'Gods will' is getting a woman raped, just so she can have a child grow up to be a singer, then he's on some fucking powerful Psychotropics, because That.Is.Pathetic.

This man should think over what he said, and I should be there to see the look on his face when it hits him what he said, and how completely wrong it could, and is, being interpreted.

I can just imagine the largest, most helpless look of "Oh... Fucknuts" glazing over his eyes.

Also, on a different note, I find it so far above hilarious that they're separating 'rape' and 'incest' so obviously. The term 'Incest' is just people that share blood having sex, while 'Rape' is sex that is IN ANY WAY against the man or woman's will.
Incest can be consensual, Rape cannot. If it's a girls brother or father that raped her, incest is just an addendum, RAPE is what should be the focal point, and RAPISTS in general deserve to be shot in the face.

I apologize in advance if my views offend anyone, they tend to be a bit radical for most tastes.

Evil...pure evil.

Sometimes it's really hard to believe it's 2011.

 

[Locke_Cole]

I'm finding all the general male hate in this thread to be extremely offensive. Most, if not all, of the males who have posted here have agreed wholeheartedly that this guy's a retard and that his statement is incredibly offensive, however some people here are using him to colour all men with the same brush.

Would it make any sense if I stated that all women are the same as Sarah Palin, that she is a prime example of how women think and act? No, it wouldn't and most women would find it incredibly offensive as well. Do not do the same with this man.

Just because men can't get pregnant from being raped doesn't mean we can't sympathize, say that it's wrong and take action to help prevent it. The same goes for a quadriplegic. No, most people will not know exactly what it feels like or know what that person is going through however everyone can sympathize and try to help.

 

[Zaik]

Overdramatized.

This thread, that article, and rape in general. It's all over dramatized.

I wouldn't equate it with a spare tire, but I wouldn't equate it with a mind shattering life altering experience either.

Also the whole making abortions legally implausible(the actual issue of the article, not the shock jock attention grabber) is just going to end up with a lot of self abortions again, I can't wait for the backfire. I want to never understand the train of thought that these guys follow, but unfortunately I do understand it.

I agree with this poster fully.

Also is homeboy not right? Are you not suppose to buy health insurance? Car insurance? Shit happens in this world people. You might get mugged. You might get raped. Your house may catch on fire. You could get in an autoaccident with a drunk driver and be paralyzed.

If i'm understanding you right, you're not understanding the story right.

The guy is making it illegal for health insurance plans to cover anything + abortions. Basically, they'll have their own abortion insurance plans available within a month or three of the law coming out.

It's not a big deal in itself, actually it has very little impact on anything on it's own. Insurance companies will probably just attach multiple policies to one person at the same time for about the same price. The strategy, however, is to slowly make it so difficult to get an abortion that 99% of women give up. Only, in the real world a lot of women will just head over to their closets, grab a metal coathanger, and do the job themselves. Resulting in all sorts of nasty infection deaths, and emergency rooms and hospitals being packed full of even more completely preventable injuries.

*coughtrollcough*

Art thou enraged?

I was just using the same strategy this thread was using. Why is it okay when s/he does it, but not okay when I do it?


Edit: Isn't this the second time I've caught you in a clear contradiction now? And you say I'm the troll.

[Gidiann]

I sincerely hope this is way out of context, or else he deserves to burn? Rape = flat tire??? Wtf??? I can not imagine anything requiring a woman to have independent insurance for an unprovoked attack of the most brutal nature. People who commit rape are damaged, often abused/victims themselves, with no other way of expressing love. The people they damage are people they are themselves attracted to, and are unable to control themselves given the stimuli. How can anyone accuse a true victim of rape of not being prepared? I am enraged that anyone would suggest that it is something women should be ?prepared? for. Think of it, your wife/daughter/sister, violated, abused and used in the most brutal nature. What would you feel? What would you do? I would never forgive someone assaulting my kin in such a way. I would do what I could to insure they paid for their crimes. Anyone that would excuse such an act is so disconnected from society and they need to be removed from office as they are not capable of understanding there constitutes needs, and are less than human. Honestly WTF??? Addily, I do admit, there are individuals that accuse people when they have doubts the next morning, even if they where consensual the night before, it happens, that is what makes the debate so heated, and why its so hard to say who is a victim, and who is a villain? So I ask you this, what is a fair way to determine who is the victim and who is the villain?

 

[pokepuke]

And how does God creating Man, setting into motion all the future chain of events, rob him of his free will? I don't really follow that...

It's difficult to believe you're actually asking this. Let me give you an example and see if you can translate the similarities into the proper logical conclusion:

So let's say I drop a dog out of an airplane. That is the only event we have. Are there infinite possibilities? Of course not. We can reasonably conclude everything that is going to happen. The dog will probably flail about for a while, might stop and look around if it isn't spinning, will whine or bark and try to run in mid-air. Its ears may pop from the difference in pressure. Then it will inevitably hit the ground.

Free will.
