gallium-knight:

Here’s a test:

I’m holding a baby in one hand and a petri dish holding a fetus in the other.

I’m going to drop one. You chose which.

If you really truly believe a fetus is the same thing as a baby, it should be impossible for you to decide. You should have to flip a coin, that’s how impossible the decision should be.

Shot in the dark, you saved the baby.

Because you’re aware there’s a difference.

Now admit it

To be fair, this isn’t an entirely apt metaphor. Let’s take this a step further in its application to the issue: I’m holding a petri dish with a fetus and a baby. You toss me a fertilized embryo in a jar and to save all three, I begin to juggle.

I can juggle for about 15 minutes. If all three are to be saved, you’ll have to find a second juggler with whom I can trade off. You have 10 minutes to find the juggler, but once the first juggler is found I can help you find the next juggler, and so on with each juggler until enough jugglers are found to reach a sustainable equilibrium for 9 months until the embryo is brought to term.

Here’s the thing- The baby is also growing and in 9 months will be 9 months old, and at this point in accordance with Malthusian theory, the baby will have to eat the fetus to survive unless alternate food is introduced into the juggling cycle. The embryo is also now a fetus and the prior fetus a baby, and regardless of the jugglers in 18 years fetus-alpha will become sexually mature and produce a new embryo of its own, and so on.

To complicate matters, the sexually mature former fetus, and also subsequent fetuses B-E have pursued careers in juggling. Fetus A has graduated juggling school and can begin juggling, but the subfetuses can only juggle while supervised by a non-juggling graduated fetus, so the 18th embryo will not be able to juggle until the 36th year, and once reaching the age of 65 the initial juggler fetus will have to retire BUT- It still requires food and social security.

So as you pro-choice people can see, it’s just not that simple and I hope you’ll consider the above when talking about the issue.

Only minutes remain.  If you want that Bronze Waffle, now is the time.  If you want a signed fact or promo or book, now is the time.  If you want world peace, the time is likely not for another few centuries to come.  While the U.N. and numerous global organizations have helped to ease tensions without bloodshed on the scale at which it occurred in the 20th century, smaller but no less vicious conflicts persist due not only to the inaction of said bodies, but to human nature itself which, like nature, it a violent cycle.

But uh, gimme money.  Last chance until I try to fund my Legend of Zelda movie.

Well, of course we had to GIF it.

Yeah but they don’t show you the second picture that proves Obama is a Socialist:

Mitt Romney should get elected.  So should Obama.  They should both get their own interspersed countries across America comprised of the individuals who voted for them.

Everyone who votes for Romney will be subject to his economic policies, taxes or lack thereof, and misogyny.  Vice Versa for Obama.  Any woman who votes for Romney will not be allowed to have an abortion.  If raped, she will provide visitation rights to her rapist so he can see his child grow up.  A poor man who votes Romney will be denied health care and taxed mercilessly, all the rich men will vote for him too of course, and they will get bail outs and tax breaks.  Good for them.  When the prophet tells Romney to nuke Pakistan, the rich who voted for him will lose their tax breaks and fund the next war on their own, without my money to help them.

Who voted for Obama will get health care, higher taxes if rich, hell maybe I’ll be paying more too. Advanced women’s rights and equal pay, so on and so forth.  If Obama is really a secret socialist hidden Muslim fool, all who voted for him will suffer terribly under his rule.  If he’s a smart leader, Obamatopia will prosper and watch the Mittlands degenerate from gender inequity, abundance of religious fanatics and so on.  But one will not effect the other.  Obama voters will not be responsible for Romney’s wives. Romeny’s tea partiers will not have to pay for Obama’s abortionplexes.

I wish we had to put our money where our mouths are.  I wish every man and woman of voting age in this country could be forced to live in the country they voted toward.  Then there would be no more argument.  No more “He ruined the Economy / No he saved it you ruined it”. No more “You forced your views on me”.  Only cold hard pragmatic truth: You made your bed, now lie in it.

Then everyone who deserves to be happy would be happy, and I’d not have to feel bad for the idiotic scum who brought misery upon themselves.

I think she’s right behind the sign. Are we taking up a collection to send her back? Also, where the hell is ‘Kenia’ anyway? What sort of transportation options do we have?

Kenia is a magical land located off the shores of Paraguay. 

The only way to get to Kenia is to wish upon the second star to the right on a Thursday between Christmas and Next Christmas.

In Kenia, all the trees grow down into the ground and all their roots grow up into the sky.  The skies there are orange, except at sunset when they all turn blue.  Summer is cold there and winter is hot.  It was a beautiful land full of happy people, until the fire nation attacked.

The kind people of Kenia banded together to protect their sacred fool.  You see, the fool of any given village in Kenia is a person of honor.  A person treasured for their innocence and simple nature.  The term in Kenia has no connotations of stupidity, only of bright eyes and hope. So they found the child, Barakabama, who was ironically born to an American mother and was thus a natural U.S. citizen regardless of place of birth, but I digress.

Barakabama was secreted away and shipped to the United States to outlive the attacks. There the child thrived, grew into adulthood and protected the people of Metropolis with magic Kenian powers, for the orange skies of Kenia are lit by a weaker sun than those of the U.S.A. and moving gave this blessed one abilities to speak more intelligently than any republican, to leap tall tale accusations in a single news conference and more.

But Kenia is a dark and sad land now.  The attacks are over but their sacred idiot is gone.  So this kind lady above is trying to raise awareness.  Kenia has “Nobama” as of 2012, as is written on the side of the sign.  I make no excuse for her pathetic misuse of “there” but she means well.

So search the land for young Barakabama, savior of Kenia, who was last described as a pale white girl and should be around 18 by now, last known by the alias of “Justine Bieber” and send help her back to Kenia where she belongs.

(OP would like it known that the lady in the photo was spoofing republican idiocy and is not herself such a creature)
