FROM 2012 INTO 2013 POLITICS THREAD

Fixed that for ya, Romeo.

Have fun at the ball.

 

And now you rely on name-calling to cover it up when you've been caught in your bullshit. It really is pathetic what a jackass you make of yourself. You're capable of better, but you can't get past being a Republican fanboy.

 

Typical. Pulling the whole thing out of context so it's harder for others to see how full of shit you are.

 

It's fun watching conservatives celebrate Claire Daly's attack on Obama. Quite a few conservatives have said we need to be electing people like her - not realizing she's an actual socialist.

 

A smart conservative like you would realize that your argument is about as bright as suggesting that the Iron Curtain in Eastern Europe should have stayed up because several of those nations -- including Russia itself -- disintegrated into corruption and war after the Soviet Union dissolved.

Of course there was going to be new problems when blacks weren't treated like shit and quarantined from whites. That's because human nature is unusually good at making sure there's problems no matter the solution.

 

Caught at nothing. And the truth isn't name-calling. He was full of shit and lying, and only a moron would support him for doing so.

 

That the number of pregnancies from rapes are low.

This one study here says 5 percent of pregancies are from rape:

http://health.act.gov.au/health-services/canberra-hospital/our-services/medical-services/sexual-health/sexual-assault-care/rape-related-pregnancy

Now, he may consider 5 percent to be a low number, but hardly miniscule, when you consider how many women become pregnant each year.

 

Google is your friend.

According to a really quick and easy search, 5% of pregnancies in 2008 in the US would be 328,900.

http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr60/nvsr60_07.pdf

Yet, according to the US Dept. of Justice, in 2005 (old stat, yes) there were 191,670 victims of rape.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_in_the_United_States

So, for your numbers to work, every rape had to result in 1.71 pregnancies.

 

Actually, according to this, there were about 4 million live births.

http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/births.htm

And about 1.2 million abortions in 2008

http://www.abort73.com/abortion_facts/us_abortion_statistics/

So that's 5.2 million pregnancies, not counting pregnancies that end in miscarriages or whatever other reasons. 5 percent of that is 260,000.

And in your rape stats, you ignored that most rapes are never reported.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_statistics

So, using your figure, which I'm guessing is reported rapes, you can multiply that by 6.25 to get the actual number of rapes, which would be about 1.2 million. Which means that a woman raped has nearly a 1 in 5 chance of become pregnant.

 

I went off this passage from the CDC.gov link.

I simply did the math that 5% of 6,578,000 is 328,900.

 

Wait, what? What am I lying about, tony -- are you saying you didn't start a thread comparing welfare recipients to gorillas? I mean, I know it got nuked to save you from your idiocy, but enough people saw it that I would think you wouldn't try to deny it. A subject better avoided for you, or maybe a Paula Deen "they were only jokes" explanation. But why deny it?

 

What, you think a thread getting wiped out means it didn't happen? I'm no fan of LTL's, but he's far from the only one who saw it, tony.

And moron is name-calling. At least own up to something you did for once. Unless you were speaking of the clinical definition of moron. In that case, you would just be clueless.
