Quit the ignore gloating.

One-Stop Rules Shop wrote:Gloating: Specific types of gloating are considered warnable. Posting "In before the lock" generates a warning to those posters who wish to gloat about an obviously lockable topic. IGNORE gloating is typically seen in the roleplay forums, though it can appear elsewhere. Politely informing another nation that you are henceforth using the "ignore" feature is acceptable, but repeating it in different threads or over long periods is considered gloating. Other cases will be considered on an ad hoc basis.


It's been pretty disgusting by many posters (led by Divair of all people ... disappointing) but you're the one doing it right on the page I'm posting to, so you're the one I'm telling to please quit it.

EDIT: Damn, well make that "within a page" rather than "on the page" ...

RP makes them I think. Perhaps you're asking with what program/game? I don't know that, but it looks old.

I keep seeing this on my Facebook newsfeed, since Planned Parenthood put it up. Figured it's appropriate.

OK, I looked at the smaller zip file of DoGA. Date stamps between 1998 and 2002 ... pretty old. But I like that.

If New haven america is thinking of adding a "signature" pic to their own posts, that would probably be picspamming. A Mod doing it to attract attention to a moderator action is different to a signature.

And duh, no it's not genocide. You've just worn out the word "murder" and now you need something worse to call it.

50 million nationwide, give or take 10 million.


Not an answer.

It's reminiscent of Democratic filibusters of anti-segregation laws in the 1950s and 1960s.


When the Dems were today's GOP?

Yeah... No.

Very accurate - particularly the notes in his pocket.

Hm. Darn, now I have to go think of something.

Nirvana's Pennyroyal Tea has allusions to abortion, but it's been so long since I've heard it that I don't recall if it's actually about abortion.

Politicians are clearly the only ones who can make accurate health care decisions, that's why I'm submitting a proposal that they prescribe me my psych meds.

The word-part "gyno" refers generally to women though. They're not interested in all of the woman, just the bit that makes babies.

Thus ... obstetrician + politician = obstetrolitician

Or if that has too many syllables, just call them a SOB/GYN

I can barely read it, but I think this is what it says:

Shut down health (I believe it's centers)
Ban abortions.
Redefine rape.
Take away birth control.
