Anti-abortion puke-fest at my class today
So I'm in a class today with a bunch of IT nerds and as an ice-breaker, the facilitator has us introduce ourselves, give our place of birth, and ask what we would do if we had $1M.

Most people wanted to live on an island somewhere, play golf all day long, go sailing, donate to their favorite charity ... until we got to Joe-Fundie.

His answer: "Donate most of it to stop the growing hoards of anti-abortion supporters, because their are lots of them."

WTF???

:shrug:

3. I'm still wrestling with his syntax
But if he wants to "stop . . . anti-abortion supporters" doesn't that mean he's pro-choice?

9. Er he said . um wait getting it getting it no er
For a long time the word antidisestablishmentarianism was the longest word in the english language. After decyphring it one finds it means someone that is against those that are against the establishment or rather they are for the establishment. So someone that is against the growing hoards of anti-abortion supporters would be a nonfundie supporter of a woman's rights.

10. So what was
the response from the group?

I think if I won the lottery I would become the biggest soft money donor to liberal PACs ever.

Thing is, I'd have to buy a ticket and I just never remember.

13. Reply from the group was loud thuds ...
... of jaws hitting the floor.

I mean, everything was cool and lighthearted then all of a sudden I'm a member of an evil hoard. Of course, there's only one thing to do now ... f*ck with him for the next two days.

The guy really is a creep.

12. Damn, that sucks
I just had my fill of it last night in GD as well. :puke: I'm seriously considering going to the Women's March this weekend if I can get all the kinks worked out. I'm so tired of people who want to control the gonads of others. :grr:

16. I understand
No birthday parties. We all thought about going, but that gets mighty pricey. I suppose I could break free and go alone, but I'd have to take the second car which isn't as dependable. Things never seem as easy as you hope anyway.
