ConfuciusMencius say you should value your mother's life above all. And that wetting the bed is ok and plenty of people do it so don't judge.

CA is a blue state (and getting bluer). But she was terrible and ran a terrible campaign. She also did some spokesperson work for Romney in 2012 and was similarly awful at it.

My favorite Fiorina factoid is that HP's stock shot up like 11% the day she was fired, meaning that the company was worth something like $7 billion more the moment she left it. The company was exactly the same as it was the day before, it's just the name in the "CEO" slot changed. The free market determined that her worth as a person was literally negative seven billion dollars.

See, this is the kind of thing she needs to be told to her face. Constantly.

(All numbers approximate, going from very bad memory, would appreciate if someone has the real numbers)

Factoid means 'something that looks like a fact, but isn't' for the record. But you're close - their stock jumped by just under $3 billion.

And the news articles make no secret of it being because she left and no other reason.

I've used that one on anti-abortion people for years, "I'm holding a baby in one hand and a dish with a fertilized embryo in the other. I drop them both. Which do you dive for?"

Even if you catch the baby that's probably hosed up its spine and neck, the embryo doesn't have a neck to gently caress up so might as well catch the embryo. Checkmat, libtard.

Well hold on, is it an Iraqi baby and was that embryo fertilized from the seed of a US solider?

The 4 year old, much more viable, unless the 85 year old had some kind of knowledge that was extremely vital and non-duplicate-able.

Same reason I'd save the 4 year old over the jar of embryos. We already make all kinds of value judgements of the worth of one life over another. You might as well weigh the worth of 40 Iraqis vs 1 US Soldier, or the number of Chinese working in a sweatshop to bring you your iPhone.

Personally I think they're all alive, I've just made peace with some lives being worth more than others a long time ago. so the gotcha question of embyros vs a 4 year old doesn't work.

The value of a human life is measured by its worth to society says the actual definition of facism

Tbh if you can't bride-carry an 85 year old and tell the child to keep their hand in your pocket while fleeing a burning building, you're a bit of a bitch and should probably be the one left behind in the building.

If you don't have a Ti-83 graphing calculator you probably shouldn't bother trying to save anyone from a burning building.

"Which person do you save?" is a trick question because a bucket of 10,000 embryos still isn't a person.

You're in a burning building and you can either rescue a jello mold filled with embryos or a beta bitch. What do you put in your pockets?

Went digging up the past and found an old interview with Brietbart caterwauling about how no one should care if the ACORN videos were faked.

Wow he was a crazy whiny turd. Just watch the first 30 seconds of him admitting that the pimp costume wasn't actually used and accused the interviewer of being the REAL propagandist for the left. :gonk:

Don't forget how O'Keefe himself roofied one of his coworkers and stole her panties when she fought back. Or the time he tried to lure a female CNN reporter onto a "sex boat" filled with dildos and other naughty gear so he could secretly film the whole thing for laughs.

Man, sexual assault hasn't been this funny since 1980s Hollywood. O'Keefe's bringin' it back, yo.
