eglamkowski's Journal: Common Sense

From Ann Coulter if you can believe it (and I know some of you can't...)

However the Duke lacrosse rape case turns out, one lesson that absolutely will not be learned is this: You can severely reduce your chances of having a false accusation of rape leveled against you if you don't hire strange women to come to your house and take their clothes off for money.

Also, you can severely reduce your chances of being raped if you do not go to strange men's houses and take your clothes off for money. (Does anyone else detect a common thread here?)

And if you are a girl in Aruba or New York City, among the best ways to avoid being the victim of a horrible crime is to not get drunk in public or go off in a car with men you just met. While we're on the subject of things every 5-year-old should know, I also recommend against dousing yourself in gasoline and striking a match.

When will she learn?

When is Coulter going to get it?

No one can ever be expected to be responsible for their actions!

Sadly the article had no pictures of strippers for those of us who have never seen one. I for one am outraged!

The unstated rule is: If you've done it, you can't ever criticize it...

This has got to be the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Unlike Ann I can't speak for every liberal out there (or any other group, what with me not being omnipotent and all), but it seems fairly obvious to me that there is a big difference between condemning an act and allowing other people to make stupid decisions on their own

the right for people to do stupid things is protected in the constitution dammit!

It is? Where?

That'd be the 10th Amendment:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. [emphasis added]

So as long as the Feds and Sates don't outlaw stupidity, it is expressly reserved for the people as a right.

Oh, ok. See, I was under the impression that the feds and the states were doing their best to outlaw stupidity- suicide for instance, or Massachusettes' new law outlawing being uninsured.

I always thought that as long as you were going to outlaw suicide you might as well make it a capital offense;-)

As for legislating stupidity away- it'd be like trying to nail jello to wall.

Hehe, thanks I needed a laugh :-) That is so going into my quotes file....

Excellent

Thanks for posting this. The claim of hypocrisy always irritates me. As a Christian, my rule of thumb is: if my behavior meets my standards for behavior, then it is time to raise my standards.

Bookmarked!
