LOL! The commentator says the railcart is a good to escape California when all the U hauls are taken. You can bypass all of the border stations pulling you out of your car to force the vax on you, too, while you are trying to escape.

TX weather (a real weather forecast):

My aunt had ten kids. Irish baby factory, they used to compete for volume over quality. I overheard some old hens at Kaiser, and it was a bit shocking how they just mindlessly talked about all the kids they had, like it was racking up trophies. It almost made me write a love letter to Bill Gates.

10 kids?

Gotta be some mental illness associated with that?

Era and Socioeconomic status?

One of my Irish aunts also had ten kids. And my dad was the last of eight.

Era was 1930's - 1950's. Socioeconomic status blue collar.

I thought ten, but coulda been twelve. She had 15 pregnancies and three miscarriages, so I think it was twelve. My sister kept up with some of the cousins but there were so many brats I stopped paying attention. Aunt was married to an affluent doctor. I only remember the doctor as being a kind of self important creep.

I did go down memory lane on the internet a couple of years ago to track down some of the relatives from the Irish side. Mostly quite prosperous, Phd's/professors in schools and universities, business executives, business owners, hospital administrators, lawyers, and at least one gay real estate agent in Florida.

My mother's brothers became RichFucks. Too bad there was no trickle down to my branch. We were military brats with hand me downs and burr cut home hair cuts.

One of my "Appalachian" grandma's brother had 27 kids - 13 by his first wife who died. Remarried and had 13 more with his second wife. He also had one on the side. They ate in shifts. One of my aunts told me that visiting his house was like seeing a house with mice, with lots of little eyeballs peeking from around corners.

If her vagina accommodates a couple of hands, she has nothing to worry about and shouldn't be advertising. She should have named it "Keep Your Little Finger Off My Vagina".

I've heard this before with regard to the 14th amendment. There is no mention of a right to privacy in it. If there's ANY mention of this, it's in the 4th amendment where one has a right to the security of their papers and again unreasonable search and seizure - but I'll let people look up the exact text.

This is the 14th amendment. Where is privacy mentioned?

Amendment XIV
Section 1.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Section 2.
Representatives shall be apportioned among the several states according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each state, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the executive and judicial officers of a state, or the members of the legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such state, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such state.

Section 3.
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Section 4.
The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any state shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

Section 5.
The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

nor shall any state deprive any person of life

I'm generally against abortion. My view is if the fetus can survive outside of the womb, then it is for all practical purposes a person and therefore protected by the 14th ammdendment. Certainly late stage abortions or "partial birth" abortions, in this day and age, shouldn't be a thing. Anything in the last three months should be a "no go" zone. Thankfully less than 1% of the almost 700,000 abortions in this country were late term.

(https://www.cdc.gov/reproductivehealth/data_stats/index.htm)


Conversely early term (within the first 12 weeks) I don't love the idea but by the same cold logic, the fetus cannot survive outside the womb, so by my own argument abortion would be permissible. Data indicates that is where the majority of the procedures are conducted.

The middle three are a grey area. How does one define personhood? I define life to start at conception which is why I'm against it. Others do not, and although I do not agree with it, I can respect that different views exist.

In any event I'm going to attempt to put this in a new thread... I don't want to drag down the Funny picture thread any further, it's one of my favorites.

And there's still room for several Pacific and Caribbean islands, Liechtenstein, Monaco and Luxembourg.

yeah, like the 51st state, Puerto Rico.
