I don't blame you. Sometimes, I question them myself (I live in America). Knowing that this is America, they may very well be that dumb, which is so horribly sad I'm embarrassed to be considered in the same group as them. If they were trying to cause trouble (meaning they're not stupid), then they would have picked a subject that would have significantly less risk of them just look like total fools, am I right? (unless their ability at foresight is also terrible, but how in the world do you overlook something like this?)Abedeus said:

Evidently "freedom" and "choice" are two very taboo phases that imply awful things and should never be used.
Good on you. You're entitled to your opinion and I'm not going to shoot you down for it. Thanks for letting me know, though. Krispy Kreme isn't that big here in Australia. It's slowly spreading, but I remember a time when there was only one Krispy Kreme in Sydney...Untamed Waters said:
I'm disappointed that they're not giving us free doughnuts though... I mean, we're allies! DOES THE ANZUS TREATY MEAN NOTHING TO YOU, KRISPY KREME?!?!
Well, I'm not that fond of them, but its the principal!
You know I think it would be easier to take the 'pro life' movement more seriously if they focused more on family planning practices and less on screaming at the 'pro choice' lobby at the top of their lungs. Abortions are going to happen either way and did happen even when they were illegal, the only difference being that they were usually done in back ally clinics and posed a serious health risk to the mother.
Still I wonder how many of them stop and consider how many of these abortions could have been prevented if they could simply let go of a flawed concept for their religion and instead focused on discussing sex with teenagers including the use of birth control. Unfortunately many of these people view a condom or the pill with the same horror and disgust that they do the actual abortion. They expect the proven power of teenage hormones to be counteracted by finger waving and naming a few passages they don't fully understand themselves.
Still its shocking that enough of them are so uptight that the phrasing of a free doughnut offer is causing any form of outrage. Have to love when people decide that logic is totally optional though.

Thanks for the biting response. You're right, I didn't fully read the article because one doesn't even need to read the thing to determine that this group is being ridiculous. I skimmed it to see if it mentioned anything religious-y in their brief, but did not read that last paragraph you cited.errorfied said:
@Lyiat: But I'm tired of the more liberal members of society constantly implying that only Christians and only other pathetic, deceived, brain-washed worshippers of some religion or another are pro-life, intelligent design vs unintelligent forces is only about The Church trying to control science, and every other issue of conservative values vs liberal values can only mean those stupid Christians are at it again when the fact is, some conservative groups are not Christian! A lot are Jewish, Muslim, or Mormon, but some are atheists, agnostics, skeptics -- the list goes on! Some aren't even Republican! Yet in the rush to over-simplify an issue, here we are, structuring issues like it's always about Christians doing something wacky.

Clearly, blatantly an atheistic, naturalist worldview.

Because Republicans are right-wing and Democrats are left-wing is a stereotype that doesn't reflect the reality of the 2000s.
Oh, I thought this was gonna be about abortive food. Abortion donuts with pennyroyal tea... yum.
This is most amusing, reminds me of the old Jo Brand line about the contraceptive pill.
'I went on the pill to prevent pregnancy, and put on about 30 pounds, so it worked quite well really.'
Maybe that's what Krispy Kreme are doing, pack enough donuts down your neck and you won't be having so much sex, so maybe there is contraception there after all.

Same here. It's these people who ruin the reputation of those of us who are sane.Grand_Poohbah said:
I just wanted to say that I love your post.NekoAnastasia said:
I'm more-or-less anti-abortion (but pro-euthanasia; let the baby grow and make the decision for himself), and this wins awards for absolute ridiculousness. It's amazing how few people have lives-everybody in this freaking country takes things too far; apparently nobody can be sane when they have an opinion.
