i'm willing to bet 80% of children are born to women under 35

interpreting statistics ftw

i know, I am just trying to make this story true dammit. i guess I should post the entire quote:

Quote :

"Although the probability increases with maternal age, 80% of children with Down syndrome are born to women under the age of 35,[15] reflecting the overall fertility of that age group."

You should embrace drama!

It can be fun at times

I mean you're on TWW, cmon now.

WOOD HIT

and for those of you who said women politicians aren't interchangeable, I call BS.

I've heard about 10 woman (all liberals) say they are considering voting for mccain/palin, just because it's a woman. stupid? yes. liberal thing to do? yes, as a republican woman isn't stupid enough to say, "well that democrat picked a woman as his VP, so I'll vote for them, just because there's a woman involved."

9/1/2008 10:35:20 AM

Liberal thing to do? that's funny

9/1/2008 10:37:55 AM

lol wut?

9/1/2008 10:47:48 AM

i was just pointing out how funny it is that Republicans are so quick to make generalizations

9/1/2008 10:53:34 AM

cause it's totally easy to do. Plus, when you make comments, arguments or accusations, you can then use the term "you people".

9/1/2008 10:55:12 AM

but i must also point out the irony of my last post, seeing as I made a generalization about Republicans.

How can McCain top Obama's acceptance speech? Drop him in the center of Hanna on a boat! I also hope Sarah doesnt use the phrase "18 million cracks in the highest ceiling....blah blah blah" like she has at every stop so far....

I heard he might do it on the Gulf Coast, I mean, come on....it smells of desperation to top Obama's.

9/1/2008 10:58:43 AM

yes, it's a liberal thing to vote for someone, just because it's someone of the same gender/race/etc. you don't hear of republicans doing this.

9/1/2008 10:59:33 AM

so you make the generalization that all democrats are liberal and that all republicans are conservative?

and you don't think that there are republicans or independents that are voting for McCain simply because he isn't black?

or that there are ultra-conservatives that won't vote at all simply because he chose a woman as his running mate?

I am so glad the Repubs are going to win. You left win socialists fucktards are freaking me out.

Just an idea - why not move to Canada? 55% tax, 8 month wait for an MRI and all the cocks and pot you can suck.

9/1/2008 11:06:02 AM

^ so what are you going to do when Obama wins?

9/1/2008 11:07:22 AM

semantics. god damn you people are picky. insert conservative whereever you see republican, if you like.

those are two different situations. I'm talking about crossing political boundaries just for fem-power or race-power. you are talking about people within the same political boundary not voting for someone because of a personal prejudice.

she is way too conservative for Hillary supporters to "cross political lines" to vote for McCain just because he has a female running mate. Hillary is like Oprah. The mindless drones that supported her will do whatever the fuck she says. And she says to vote for Obama

^^^gg on generalizations and stupid assumptions. There are LOTS of females switching their vote from Obama tp McCain/Palin, because there is a woman on the ticket. How do I know? Because I've heard the women say that, right out of their fucking mouth.

why the fuck would I lie about this? And I'm not saying, "I SWEAR..." I'm simply telling you what I've heard in conversations. If you want to be a stupid fucking conspiracy theory liberal, and think I'm lying go ahead. Fucking idiot, what do I have to lie about?

why am I a dumbass now? because I am challenging your beliefs? I think I am making a very intelligent argument, actually. If you can't have an intelligent discussion without name calling then just say so.

and my point is that a lot of people say a lot of things, but a lot of that changes when it comes time to pull the lever.

you're a dumbass because you are making stupid assumptions, wrong arguments, and expect me prove my point by bringing people to some random guys house, just so he can hear it.

I just find it so funny how Republicans harped on Obama for his lack of experience for nearly a year, but now they are totally willing to ignore the lack of experience in McCain's choice of a running-mate.

9/1/2008 11:26:16 AM

people twofaced in politics???

no way.

9/1/2008 11:29:34 AM

^ so true, on both sides

9/1/2008 11:30:11 AM

VP's are really just a filler to gain more votes for the party.
























(will get flamed)

9/1/2008 11:30:44 AM

9/1/2008 11:31:32 AM

yeah, except when your president is really old, then it becomes more than filler

[Edited on September 1, 2008 at 11:34 AM. Reason : ..]

9/1/2008 11:34:16 AM

^^^ again, sad but true. not enough people consider the fact that the VP should be ready to lead the country from day 1. ESPECIALLY in this election, taking into account McCain's age if he wins and the fact that there are bound to be attempts on Obama's life if he wins.

But I can't really blame people for overlooking the VP. The VP role doesn't really get a lot of attention in the "normal course of business". Shit, I bet a lot of Americans didn't even know who our current VP was until he shot someone in the face.

"Here's a finding from Gallup: Among Democratic women -- including those who may be disappointed that Hillary Clinton did not win the Democratic nomination -- 9% say Palin makes them more likely to support McCain, 15% less likely. From Rasmussen: Some 38% of men said they were more likely to vote for McCain now, but only 32% of women. By a narrow 41% to 35% margin, men said she was not ready to be president -- but women soundly rejected her, 48% to 25%."
