One should point out that most deployments are voluntary and come with fat wads of bonus pay. Also you basically live for 9+ months with zero expenses outside of maybe something like car loan payments. Plus various other perks and ways to not spend any money.

There are times you can get posted to places you want, but those are incredible rare, and most involve going to a specific base for training/school/etc. But the living on base and having most expenses paid for? Yeah that's a thing. There's also the racking up of funds when you're deployed and don't have a family back home.

That's one of them (and actually half of the exact thing posted that I wanted to respond to :ironicat:). The one I had in mind had pictures of the artists with 'facts' listed below each one. I believe Queen was on it, as well as One Direction (maybe?). Also Taylor Swift I think.

I think this is the one you're taking about. I wouldn't recommend using it, though, since the part at the end is an incredibly lovely thing to say even as a joke.

Couple seconds on google found this gem.

http://projectmonline.com/2010/05/12/the-pill-and-feminism/

quote:

1) Like I've discussed before, I think the Pill takes away a woman's reproductive freedom by making her dependent on (usually male) doctors.

2) The Pill encourages the idea that a woman's fertile body is dangerous and needs to be subdued.

3. The Pill saddles women with the full responsibility of birth control.

So basically bullshit but whatever.

Birth control wasn't made so that women could enjoy sex without the worry of getting pregnant. It was invented so men could have all the sex they want without worrying about having a child to support.

Women who enjoy sex are sluts and whores.

The only acceptable sex is hetero, vaginal and results in offspring.

Take your pick, I'm sure it's at least one of those. Or a combination thereof.

I hope she likes minimum wage, because if my liberal arts B.A. experience is any indication, she'll probably end up earning it.

I was going to say the exact same thing! Evangelical Christianity isn't exactly known for being opposed to child brides or in favor of rights for young girls and women, anyhow. I always think it's hilarious when they try to mock or are outraged by other countries/religion's thoughts on the matter.

A few days ago she and a few users like her were talking about how trans women shouldn't be allowed to import "dangerous" medication (that's actually essential) like oestrogen on the grey market, in the light of news of one grey-market pharmacy being effectively shut down. Including this person:



After it was pointed out to them that there's not much difference between HRT medication and contraception (as in they're both oestrogens), I would've thought they'd lay off, but nope.

They forget their Bible also contains laws allowing the stoning and deaths of non believers, and the systematic abuse of women. But they skip these pages and talk about peace and love. Not to mention Jesus was baptized as a Jew, but we better not let the facts ruin a good story...
