There's no way this lasts. The whole point of this site's creation was to allow these people to escape that sort of thing on facebook. Selaty will either have to cancel this deal soon after it starts or risk losing whatever non-trolls are left.

Jesus Christ, they keep talking about the founding fathers being "Judeo-Christians with Judeo-Christian values" and don't seem to understand that Thomas Jefferson literally said that he thought half the New Testament was garbage written by morons and assholes, that priests were terrible people, and that the law shouldn't be based on Christianity.

This woman is literally a rapist apologist and watching this is a great way to get really mad about how incredibly selfish these people can be.

The argument for not allowing abortions even in the event of a rape:
1. Women will obviously claim that they were raped more often just to get abortions
2. 'Look at all the good you can do, even as a product of a rape'.
3. EverySpermIsSacred.txt

Nope. All 15 are going strong. In hindsight it was probably a mistake to report Mrs. Tim Selaty and Paul Guzda.

I believe this is pretty much the reasoning behind the conception of Jesus.
As a matter of fact, that would make a great trolling argument :

"If their was Abortion in case of Rape back then, Jesus would have been a Murdered Fetus"

Not to mention the proven fact that the founding fathers were nearly all influenced by the Enlightenment, religion was practically at a low point at the time.

But hey, they manages to change 'E Plurubus Unum' to 'In God We Trust' in 1949 and say that the founding fathers meant it all along.

I liked how the woman that called in that was a product of rape put in a solid argument of why women should be forced into giving birth when they were impregnated against their will, then Tamara launches into a god-spiel talk while they clearly don't let the caller have a rebuttal.

With the agreement in place, I've deleted my account. Not sure if I want to come back, though; the last week in deep cover has made me want to punch my screen on numerous occasions. And not just because of the lovely content; the site itself continues to function like something out of the 1860s. Scrolling down the global feed just gets you the same few stories you just scrolled past, and the notifications are a joke (I came home to 138 notifications from three people yammering in the same thread last night). I already feel less likely to set myself on fire to cleanse myself of the pure ignorance I just witnessed.

I shall continue to watch your efforts from the sidelines, and salute you who decide to wade into the mucky-muck in order to fact-check and debunk their various beliefs. I'm afraid I simply don't have the strength to go back there.

We've brokered open lines of communication where we won't get banned for posting facts.

Here's how Tim Selaty Sr considered it.


I don't see this lasting more than an hour or two, especially since Tim then went and made a poll.


There are some great comments in there






















So as you can see this has divided the community a bit. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.
