Kentucky’s ex-governor pardoned a child rapist because the 9-year-old victim’s hymen was intact
Republican politicians appear to have decidedly outdated and/or weird ideas about anatomy.

"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
It's not just the politicians. You have to ask yourself if Kentuckians are a state of dumb ignorant shits, or sick fucks, or both? The fact that this guy was narrowly defeated is mind-boggling. And why there are no laws (as far as I am aware) protecting against frivolous pardons, is equally mind-boggling.
In this case, the group benefiting from a Republican governor are pedophiles.
Hope is the denial of reality
Disgusting.
And again its a shame America has a lame duck period. In the 21st century it should be possible to do away with that. Had Corbyn clearly won our election this month (thankfully he didn't) he could have been PM the very next day. While our legislature dissolves before an election (so during an election former MPs seeking re-election are legally banned from calling themselves MPs, they're not MPs anymore) and only those who win election return to Parliament. The defeated ones don't return and get a chance to change the laws before the ones who have been elected take their seats.
That a politician pardons a depraved criminal is one thing - it happens from time to time, after all, and politicians from both parties do it (see eg. the President pardoning murderous sociopathic war-criminals). What surprised me was the staggering idiocy that was exposed by Bevin's motivation to pardon this criminal. But, then again, he belongs to the social group that gave us the following gem: "If it’s legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut the whole thing down."
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
I can't believe you actually thought that "clarification" would make the statement not be stupid, when the stupid thing is the absolutely mind-bogglingly dumbfuck belief that women who are raped don't need abortions because their bodies can deliberately prevent pregnancies that may result from rape. I am genuinely shocked that even you would deliberately type out something so stupid - in defense of something so stupid - and then hit "post reply. My god. Just so, so much fremdschämen.
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
Oh my god you ridiculous numpty, no, with or without context the quote is fucking dumb because it indicates that Akin believes that women who are raped don't need abortions because their bodies can magically prevent rapes from leading to pregnancies. The quote is dumb because it indicates that the person making the statement has an extremely dumb belief about the human body. How can you not understand that your attempts to "clarify" this extremely clear and extremely dumb statement only serve to make you look dumb? Lewk, come on. You have to be smarter than this I want to say I'm surprised that you are too confused to understand how dumb that is, but, in context, I guess it's not all that surprising.
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
"That quote is talking about pregnancy, not the rape itself."
"I'm not defending the legitimacy of using the phrase that way, I'm clarifying that there was no intent to state that the human body "shuts down rape" which is how the quote can often be perceived devoid of context."
1. Is the quote talking about shutting down rape or is it talking about pregnancy from rape?
2. For the person not clued in on the broader discussion, could a reasonable person infer that the quote be about rape and not pregnancy?
Answer those questions and come back to me on what your beef is with providing clarity around the quote.
You are the only one here who has been trying to make what he said about being able to prevent rape. And you've been doing it since he first made the remarks. I went back to check my memory. Everyone on here knows I don't make many threads. But I'm the one who posted the thread on his comments back then. You posted even back then that you only ever saw people talking about what's rape then despite the fact that you were posting in MY thread and I was absolutely clear from that OP that I was talking about his idiocy/ignorance about conception. Stop being a shill, Lewk.
Last night as I lay in bed, looking up at the stars, I thought, “Where the hell is my ceiling?"
Believing anything close to this after millenia giving evidence to the opposite makes a person not stupid but outright evil.
Congratulations America
Nobody here is confused about the meaning of Akin's statement but you. The meaning is clear without context, and the statement only looks more stupid and gross when put into context. Even Akin walked it back, once it became clear that Evangelical biology wasn't selling as well as he'd expected.
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
The FBI is now investigating Bevin's bizarre pardons.

As for the rest of it....anyone else notice those twisted ideas about sex and science (including rape) always come from Republicans?
This didn't get created by a conservative...

Not to mention the many folks on this board who thought a 13 year old child could consent to being drugged and sodomized by Polanski.
Are you going through some sort of psychotic episode?
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
I'm just trying to figure out what makes him think many people on this forum believe it's okay for an adult to rape a thirteen year old. Even with someone playing devil's advocate re. consent, that sounds like a stretch, and, a priori, the only person I'd expect to sincerely argue in favour of adults preying on 13-year-olds is the Evangelical misogynist creep that defended Roy Moore. Is Lewk breaking with his Evangelical pro-child-molesting roots? Or is he just making an exception for Polanski because he's some sort of confused 30-y-o boomer who thinks liberals are in love with Polanski?
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
Trying to find the old thread and not having much luck but I did find this one:
http://theworldforgotten.com/showthr...light=polanski
"I recall some people here openly defending Polanski before. Couldn't recall if you were one of them." -Loki (2011)
And then Nessus replied "I was"
Considering his long history of projection, his fixation on child rape is a bit of a concern.
"In a field where an overlooked bug could cost millions, you want people who will speak their minds, even if they’re sometimes obnoxious about it."
I believe this board is a projection of the Hollywood left.
An alt-right member with extreme views, who doesn't even post here anymore, is your idea of "many" liberal folks here. O-kay
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
I recall arguing with several people but I don't remember the details - my point was I'm not making this up, others remember several people defending Polanski.
