    It could have been the work of Poseidon

    He was tired of getting picked on for being king of fish, so he decided to start impregnating our women with rape for shits and giggles

    Or maybe it's Dionysus.

    But he was drunk at the time, so, arguably, he was the one who was raped. At least that's the story he's going to stick to when discussing the whole affair on an internet forum.

    But I might be confusing him with someone else, I don't know.

    I imagine this is more to do with redundancy in government regulations. For instance, if I go purchase a rifle and a hand gun it is likely that I will undergo two background checks, investigations and everything of the like even though truly only one would be needed.

    Because of odd regulations and technicalities a lot of bullshit redundancy has to take place, wasting time and money.

    Eight percent of college men have either attempted or successfully raped. Thirty percent say they would rape if they could get away with it. When the wording was changed to “force a woman to have sex,” the number jumped to 58%. Worse still, 83.5% argue that “some women look like they are just asking to be raped.”

    I am pretty stunned that nearly two thirds of men admitted that they would force a woman to have sex if they thought they could get away with it. I mean, how many might think it I don't know, but that seems like a high rate of admittance there.

    The shutdown could last for only a day or so, or it could go on for a week. It really could go on longer, but I don't think it ever has. It will continue until they reach a compromise that can be passed.

    No I mean isn't this budget bill which has this laundry list of de-funded programs only supposed to be budget for like a week?

    What I want to know is - how honest can these results be? I mean if you give someone a fill-out form and ask them 'have you raped someone before', how many rapists would answer that honestly, even when given the opportunity to be anonymous?

    Basically the Republicans want to pass a measure to fund things for a week to keep government open while the big negotiation continues. But the President had said he would veto that because he wants a real budget.

    The budget with the big list of things is the proposed budget for the year that they can't agree on.

    And a note: Federal fiscal year is October, 1, 2010 - September 30, 2011.

    Ok but the budget Obama proposed was horseshit. He completely ignored 99% of the recommendations from the study he commissioned and didn't want to cut anything for like 12 years.

    And she seems to largely focus on body image issues for women and eating disorders. I can see how rape figures into body image, but her stuff seems to be geared toward acceptance of self, and I don't really see how that sort of statistic would really help anyone get over their doubts or fears.

    ah i see, i thought it had to do with planned parenthood because im pretty sure theyre already prohibited by law from allocating funds for abortion

    not that it's 100% truth that that's the issue holding up the deal, mudslingin every which way

    They still want to block all federal funding to Planned Parenthood regardless. They also want to block D.C. from spending its own, non-federal money on abortions.

    Anyway, the budget problem is solved.

    The proposed GOP budget prohibits funding for Planned Parenthood in a misguided attempt to stop abortions.

    Here's an editorial from Pennsylvania

    Planned Parenthood in Pennsylvania is about women’s health and sound financial planning.
    In the end, this really has nothing to do with women’s health and saving money. It is about the hot-button issue of abortion.

    OK, but taxpayer dollars are not being used for abortions at Planned Parenthood. It uses private donations for all of its abortion services.
    In Pennsylvania, Planned Parenthood clinics saw 122,853 clients in 2009 — nearly the population of Lebanon County. It performed 207,631 sexually transmitted disease tests, 41,313 pap smear tests of which, on average, one in seven came back as abnormal, meaning a woman could be in some stage of cervical cancer.

    Another 44,087 breast exams were performed and 96,751 female patients received birth control. Much of this was funded by the taxpayer dollars that go to Planned Parenthood.

    Isn't part of it that the private donations would have to cover what the public funds used to cover, and as such there would be no money for abortions

    It's reasonable to assume that less abortions will be performed at planned parenthood offices if they don't have any federal funding.

    “This is a Civil War fight,” he said. “I think Time magazine has it right. This is the 150th anniversary of the 1861 Civil War. Now those are determined to shut the federal government down to make their point — their ideological-religious point.”

    “You have those who believe in states’ rights and those who believe in a more perfect union,” he said. “States’ right are anti-civil rights, anti-workers’ right to bargain, anti-social justice, pro-rich and significantly insensitive to poor people — that was the great divide 150 years ago and it’s the great divide today in the ideological sense.”
