Heinlein Was Right....

[Webster]

Saw this quote of his....

Take sex away from people. Make it forbidden, evil. Limit it to ritualistic breeding. Force it to back up into suppressed sadism. Then hand the people a scapegoat to hate. Let them kill a scapegoat occasionally for cathartic release. The mechanism is ages old. Tyrants used it centuries before the word "psychology" was ever invented. It works, too.

....and thought, "What Heinlein wrote then for If This Goes On back in the early 1940's is still very much applicable today and the American Right are using it to the hilt against their enemies of choice."......

Thoughts?

In today’s modern world when this was not written, You can go to the store and get a dozen different forms of birth control. If you can’t afford 50 cents for a condom you should be thinking about your future life choices and current life decisions before taking off your pants.

 

[Webster]

In today’s modern world when this was not written

Doesn't matter, the principles/ideas Heinlein spoke of back then still apply today.

In no way does it, but if somehow they make rubbers illegal, then yes and I will stand with the left on that fight.

 

[Webster]

In no way does it

No, principles are principles that've stood the test of time.

What you don't like is when they're applied against your side of the aisle.

There is no principle here because it’s not today’s facts with this discussion. You have multiple ways to not get pregnant. This dude would be kicking your ass for using his quote for this.

What you don't like is when they're applied against your side of the aisle.

What I don’t like is a a quote that doesn’t fit the topic.

 

[Webster]

There is no principle here because it’s not today’s facts with this discussion.

The principle applies regardless of either of our opinions.

You have multiple ways to not get pregnant.

You should also have multiple ways to terminate said pregnancy, including abortion.

This dude would be kicking your ass for using his quote for this.

He might kick my ass for misusing it, but he would kick your ass for saying there's no such thing as principles.

 

[WHO IS SERAFIN]

The principle applies regardless of either of our opinions.

Not for this there isn’t. Anyone can afford a condom.

You should also have multiple ways to terminate said pregnancy, including abortion.

Not because you had no self control or took precautions.

He might kick my ass for misusing it, but he would kick your ass for saying there's no such thing as principles.

Principles is the main argument, don’t kill children.

 

[Webster]

Principles is the main argument, don’t kill children.

You call it that, most Americans would beg to differ so don't be surprised if you start to see an Underground Railroad start up in support of reproductive health/abortion services because there's a lot more of us than there are of you.

Actually most Americans don’t beg to differ. Most Americans believe in limiting abortion and that’s thanks to modern technology that even the younger generation is changing their view on this. They are understanding this is killing a child.

 

[Webster]

They are understanding this is killing a child.

Tough; it ain't going away and supporters like myself ain't going away either. Where we can find a way to get them done, we will.

Count on it.

Yes evil will always exist, I know. It’s a never ending battle.
