The thing I don't get is, if Pussy Riot wanted to party and rage out, why did they choose a Russian Orthodox Church? Seems kinda... dumb.

The thing I don't get is, if she wanted her school insurance to pay for her birth control, why did she choose a Jesuit university? Seems kinda... dumb.

yeah, should be right up there with the ranking of the law school when making a short list imo. but what do I know, I'm just a blue collar plumber who owns my own business and has a van with my plumber logo on it (pipe wrench with muscely arm holding it)

The thing I don't get is, if that Buddhist dude wanted to off himself, why go with self-immolation? Seems kinda... dumb.

The thing I don't get is, if Rosa Parks wanted to ride a bus in the front, why did she choose to ride one in Alabama? Seems kinda.... dumb.

Probably because she lived there. I'm just guessing. Also comparing Sandra Fluke to Rosa Parks:

Just doing some cursory research seems like a ton of people that chose to protest things in the past got them changed only after they had to point out that the current rule was... kinda dumb.

Right. So she chooses a highly ranked Jesuit law school, as opposed to other highly ranked schools, and expects it to pay for her birth control. Still seems... dumb.

No, seriously, keep claiming that Sandra Fluke is some sort of great civil rights activist for birth control.

If they don't want to pay for health care, then they shouldn't offer health care.

Maybe true, sys, maybe true. Though I suspect Ms. Fluke would have found something else to be upset about.

Right, except for the "woman" part, which seems pretty irrelevant. She's a community organizer in training. Without a grievance, she's got nothing to do.

We should be giving away birth control to everyone. Would be a net + for society.

I agree with this, but it should be done by non-profit groups from donations. It seems all liberals and most conservatives have no issues with it, so there should be no problem getting enough tax deductible donations to have unlimited supplies. There really is no reason to force it upon moral objectors.

we are forcing people to take birth control?

sorry military guys, but wars will be paid for with non-profit donations from now on because some people morally object war.

yo prisons, better start penny pinching, some people don't believe in the death penalty so you guys are just gonna be donation only now. good luck!
