- (Isn't the Wii-U supposed to be out by then?) -- nm - JaxSean Aug 21, 11:24 1
  - we are always behind :) -- nm - Beaker Aug 21, 11:25
- i love my wii... - gLu Aug 21, 11:20 14
  - do you find you need 4 controllers? or just 2 good? (there are 4 of us, but are their games that 4 can play at the same time?) -- nm - Beaker Aug 21, 11:23 13
    - i only have 2 that it came with, and if my godkids come to play they bring their own... - gLu Aug 21, 11:29
    - All depends on if you buy games where all four of you will play. - Inigo Aug 21, 11:26 1
      - cool -- nm - Beaker Aug 21, 11:27
    - "We only have 2 controllers" is a good excuse for not having to play with your kids. - Mop (197 lbs) Aug 21, 11:25 9
      - it comes with a free hand wii controller, is that standard? and is the bowling.boxing game built in? -- nm - Beaker Aug 21, 11:26 7
        
        Nothing built-in. Bowling is one of the Wii Sports games. - Mop (197 lbs) Aug 21, 11:28 5
        
        ahh, I bet we don't get Wii sports, but the new super mario instead. -- nm - Beaker Aug 21, 11:29 4
        
        Bub just got Super Mario as his Congrats for Loving Kindergarten present. - Spawn Aug 21, 11:42
        
        I would have thought you'd still get Wii sports. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 21, 11:38 1
        
        Also, seriously, check stuff out at the library. It's a great way to try before you buy. -- nm - Mop (197 lbs) Aug 21, 11:40
        
        You want at least two sets of the controllers (the controller and accompanying nunchuck). I personally wish I had the gamepad. -- nm - Mop (197 lbs) Aug 21, 11:30
        
        Wii Sports. I haven't kept up on the console bundles but the Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort are great too -- nm - oblique Aug 21, 11:27
      - the new Mario comes with it. cool. -- nm - Beaker Aug 21, 11:25

"Doesn't it strike you as mildly ironic that most of the people who are against abortion are people you wouldn't want to f*ck in the first place?" -- nm - znufrii Aug 21, 11:12 12
- Classy. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 21, 11:29
- Dude. -- nm - Inigo Aug 21, 11:17 10
  - George Carlin. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 21, 11:18 9
    - I know the quote well. Still....Dude. -- nm - Inigo Aug 21, 11:19
    - thank you. -- nm - znufrii Aug 21, 11:18 7
      - No less offensive. - Stephen Aug 21, 11:22
      - It's disrespectful even as a quote. -- nm - Inigo Aug 21, 11:21 5
        
        actually, it's hilarious. -- nm - znufrii Aug 21, 11:24 4
        
        No. Not really. -- nm - TWuG Aug 21, 11:33
        
        -Eleventy Billion SB Points -- nm - Strongbad Aug 21, 11:31
        
        That's really disappointing. -- nm - Inigo Aug 21, 11:28
        
        It might be witty or clever. But it's mean-spirited, perhaps even ugly. -- nm - landbeck Aug 21, 11:27
The 11 year old me is crying. Nintendo Power to cease publication. -- (link) - Inigo Aug 21, 11:11
"Michele Bachmann needs to come out and make a strong case for rape as a positive force in society. She's losing the crazy crown." -- nm - Don Homer Aug 21, 11:09 22
- the 90s study being tossed around suggests 32,000 rape babies are born every year in the US ... - Beryllium Aug 21, 11:12 21
  - I thought it just suggested that many pregnancies? -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 11:20 17
    - and? -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 21, 11:22 1
      - a certain number of those (probably higher than average) will end in abortion. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 11:22
    - You might be right. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 21, 11:20 14
      - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8765248 -- (link) - mara Aug 21, 11:22 13
        
        am I reading this right ? 32,000 pregnancies and pregnancies occur in 5% of rapes each year? - decline Aug 21, 11:26 3
        
        I'm not sure about definitions and methodology, but this has a smaller number. -- (link) - mara Aug 21, 11:29 1
        
        methodology is important, because they may or may not be including the assumed unreported numbers. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 11:31
        
        they don't give methodology but it may include statutory cases. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 11:27
        
        My math says 10,332 kept the baby. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 11:25 8
        
        Now the question is, was that because abortion wasn't available to them as an option? -- nm - TWuG Aug 21, 11:26 7
        
        it's available everywhere, last I knew. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 11:28 6
        
        Not even close to everywhere unless you mean each state has at least 1 provider. - TWuG Aug 21, 11:29 5
        
        is that still true (each state has 1+)? -- nm - Don Homer Aug 21, 11:31 3
        
        "14 percent of obstetricians and gynecologists in the United States provide abortions" -- (link) - mara Aug 21, 11:36
        
        There was a thing about a state with 1 provider and a new law that would probably force it to close - TWuG Aug 21, 11:35 1
        
        I wonder if it was a clinic that was an option for low-income women, or something. If you have money, I think even Kansas has more than doctor who'll - mara Aug 21, 11:37
        
        oh, I thought you meant not legally available. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 11:30
  - If they asked the woman if the pregnancy was actually due to a rape or consensual sex, I think they'd be surprised by the answer. - Mop (197 lbs) Aug 21, 11:18
  - If TV has taught me anything, it's that they grow up to be cops that are really good at handling sexually charged crimes. -- nm - TWuG Aug 21, 11:18
  - hmm. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 21, 11:16
Tony Scott suicide videos being shopped around (I won't link to the TMZ article about it). Downfall of humanity or just the new age of news coverage - oblique Aug 21, 11:07 18
- disgusting, and likely all fake, I would think. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 11:14
- they did not buy the video. -- nm - Remlik Aug 21, 11:11
- Michael Bay thinks his will be better. - Mop (197 lbs) Aug 21, 11:11
- Not interested ... unless he directed it. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 21, 11:10
- Tons of people watched the Daniel Pearl beheading on-line, so can't be surprised. -- nm - ty97 Aug 21, 11:09 4
  - One of the biggest mistakes of my experience online. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 21, 11:14 3
    - and I'm thinking of the Nick Berg video. Horrifying. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 21, 11:33 2
      - I made the mistake of clicking on one of those girls getting stoned (not the good kind) videos and of course...tub girl -- nm - oblique Aug 21, 11:35 1
        
        horrifying. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 21, 11:39
- Disgusting, but shit like that (Faces of Death) have been around for a while. -- nm - Stephen Aug 21, 11:08 6
  - (I know this is not your point at all but) Faces of Death was all fake. On the other hand, yes, there's tons of snuff sites online. - Mop (197 lbs) Aug 21, 11:13 5
    - There was a story not too long ago about EMTs taking pictures and videos of horrific crash scenes/accidents. - Stephen Aug 21, 11:15 4
      - Like Porsche Girl. -- nm - sycor Aug 21, 11:40
      - I've seen soldiers pass around war photos/videos. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 11:16 2
        
        I remember during DS/DS there was one guy in our Platoon who was all gung-ho to see some dead bodies and take pictures... - Stephen Aug 21, 11:36
        
        yup. Guys I played poker with had after pictures of suicide bombers -- nm - Beaker Aug 21, 11:19
- ugh. - znufrii Aug 21, 11:07 1
  - this -- nm - Old Antarctic Explorer Aug 21, 11:23
Hey, Hollywood Reporter's New A-List. It's called a razor. Look into it. -- (link) - Mop (197 lbs) Aug 21, 11:05 2
- but we don't want chris hemsworth or channing tatum to slit their wrists -- nm - ceregon Aug 21, 11:06 1
  - They're the only reason I didn't make that list! - Mop (197 lbs) Aug 21, 11:07
What do male underwear models, one direction and romney's taxes have in common? -- (link) - ceregon Aug 21, 11:04 [youtube] 2
- padding? -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 21, 11:21
- I don't know about "one direction" but... full of sh*t? -- nm - Don Homer Aug 21, 11:05

  - So the Brits gave us the 2012 Olympics and we give them Jacksonville Jaguars in return? - amoxy Aug 21, 11:13
- Why? -- nm - amoxy Aug 21, 11:03 3
  - cause MJD hates England and they want to rub his face in it -- nm - Beaker Aug 21, 11:11
  - Because they're more likely to sell out games there than in Jacksonville. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 21, 11:10
  - Because it would be awkward if the NBA announced it. -- nm - Mop (197 lbs) Aug 21, 11:04
Not that I need to say it, but so long as Akin stays in the race, he's the poster child for "the GOP War on Women". - Mop (197 lbs) Aug 21, 11:00 11
- I don't see just him on the poster, but a whole host of imbeciles including Steve King, Bob McDonnell, and Paul Ryan. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 21, 11:02 10
  - Steve King is hilarious. Apparently he missed the whole kerfuffle about the German monster who imprisoned and impregnated his daughter seven times. -- nm - mara Aug 21, 11:07 1
    - heinous/hilarious, catsup/ketshup. ;) -- nm - Don Homer Aug 21, 11:10
  - I'm so frustrated at the fact that I heard women this morning on NPR saying, "he's totally right." -- nm - amanda Aug 21, 11:04 7
    - Men certainly don't hold a lock on ignorance of women's bodies. -- nm - TWuG Aug 21, 11:06 6
      - It's remarkable what ideology can convince you to believe. -- nm - mara Aug 21, 11:07 5
        
        and that's the problem I have with the "agreee to disagree" approach. - znufrii Aug 21, 11:18 1
        
        in some cases you have to take a stand. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 11:21
        
        This is very true. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 21, 11:17
        
        it's this. it's really this. I am *distraught* over this for so many reasons. -- nm - amanda Aug 21, 11:14
        
        the quantum gigglemonster will prevent pregnancy! -- nm - Beryllium Aug 21, 11:08
The question was asked yesterday (don't remember seeing it answered, so ignore if it was) regarding the difference between rape and forcible rape, - Stephen Aug 21, 10:59 3
- So if he hadn't said "Your sure?" the rape charge would have been reduced? - amoxy Aug 21, 11:01 2
  - sure - if he'd just stopped as soon as she said no, it might not have been construed as forcible ... -- nm - Beryllium Aug 21, 11:02
  - If he had simply pulled out there'd be no forceable rape charge. - Stephen Aug 21, 11:02
