When I read the constitution, I often ask myself - WHAT were the founding fathers thinking? HOW could they not include a right for women to have employers and taxpayers pay for their personal sexual choices? I mean, why....just WHY should they not have been more concerned with that than giving the citizens the rights to defend themselves against a tyrannical government? Where were their priorities?  evileye

Does CVS now sell pistols? Do I have to be a Boyscout to buy one?

 No, they don't sell them.  According to this, they hand them out free to children who ask for one.

 Not that I know of.  However, this is the gist -

It starts out as a normal birth control commercial and then has the standard "Ask your doctor if birth control is right for you".  Normal enough.  But then it goes on to about 8 different scenes  - ask your boss if BC is right for you, ask your boss' priest if BC is right for you, ask the black guy and asian guy playing chess in the park if BC is right for you (and ask how they came to be friends, that has to be interesting - inferring racism), and on and on.  Then she goes to the pharmacist to get her BC, and she has no refills and says "I have to go through all of this again next month?" and the pharmacist says yes.  Then she asks herself if she should really be having sex for fun.  Then a little boy walks up to the pharmacist and asks for a gun and the pharmacist says "sure" and throws one across the counter at him. 

 

Last time I checked, a grown woman can BC anytime she wants.  She just MIGHT have to pay for it.

I was hoping you'd post a summation of it. All I got was a broken FB video page.

Now that I've read the synopsis, I agree with you, it's pretty stupid.

 Yes.  You are correct.  Which is much more important than the rest.

 I gave a summary of the video and your only comment was on my word usage.  It reminds me of ..... "When you have nothing meaningful to say, just correct their grammar."

 I'm sure if you google, you can find it.  It is all over facebook, being shared by LIVs.

And I just clicked the link - it worked fine, it is not broken. Your browser obviously has issue with it.

I can't open it either.

But it does sound stupid.

I think it ridiculous how you hear all about "it's a woman's body and she should be in control of it, can't tell her what to do".

But then the same people seem to turn around wonder why BC isn't provided and how it is someone else's responsibility.

Who is responsible for your body? You or someone else?

I didn't correct your grammar. I corrected your vocabulary.  Consider it a Public Service Announcement.

The person giving the information does the implying. The person receiving the information does the inferring.  You're welcome.

I watched the whole entire video. It was stupid. It was all intended to make fun of those of us who feel like if your work doesn't pay for your BC maybe you should just um be RESPONSIBLE for it yourself? There was a time in my life where my DH (ex DH) and I didn't have insurance. I managed to both have sex AND not get pregnant. I know that seems like a miracle.

Do some liberals ever get tired of being so stereotypical?

Probably not. But the same question with likely the same answer could apply to any demographic someone would care to replace "liberals" with.

 So your mind immediately went to racism because a black guy and Asian guy were playing chess in the park? Interesting.

First you admitted I was right, and now you're saying the opposite. Speaking of minds...how about making your's up?

I saw the commercial. They make it extremely clear that something is wrong that an Asian kid and black man could be friends. It's what the commercial SAYS not what LL says.

 My mind immediately went to racism because the video actually said - "and then ask how these two became friends because that has to be an interesting story".  WHY else would that be said?  Why can't a black guy and an asian guy be friends, and why does their ethnicity matter when they are just playing chess?  If it didn't mean anything, you would just be asking 2 men playing chess in the park.

But since you can't watch the video, maybe you should just stop before you make more foolish comments.
