Flavin and Jassik have spent pages trying to change the subject in a vain attempt to deflect. I'm done with defending myself. If someone with more than half a brain like Kara wants to continue the discussion I'm down for that, but beyond this point I'm done arguing with bozos.

So is this the "resorting to insults because you have nothing to actually say" that you speak of? lol...

Did being called a bozo really hurt your feelings?

Cause I got a few words that may make you cut yourself in that case....

An insult can be an insult whether it actually bothers you or not. You guys throw around that line about not having anything to actually contribute to a topic so you insult. Funny when those who accuse others of doing it do it themselves.

I feel (Yep! That word.) as though this is a segue for a 'Fight Club' quote.

EDIT: Why'd you change it? The "One rule..."?

Yeah I mean at least when you kill off kids INSIDE the womb, they don't complain amirite? You're argument is flacid, they're dead either way. I guess we shouldn't risk letting them starve, so lets just kill em off before they're born.
No, dummy, this is exactly the ethical dilemma I was posing.

Is it morally better to allow a child to suffer through several years of privation, misery, and abuse, or better to kill it before it is born? Is it better to literally torture someone to death or just kill them outright?

I won't accuse anyone around here, but the Republican voting record is very clear: destroy Planned Parenthood and destroy universal healthcare, both of which provide birth control and abortion options, AND simultaneously de-fund SNAP, WIC, section 8, social security, and any other welfare option. Kids aren't dying of starvation right now, but left the wingnuts have their way and it becomes a very real possibility.

So, torture and death or death before measurable sentience?

The funny thing is I've never watched Fight Club but someone referenced it ! I've probably seen the trailer at some point though.

Speaking of nothing related to politics: I see they are doing a new Mad Max movie.

I do enjoy all the Hillary burrito references though. We need more.

I for one look forward to Empress Clinton ascending to the throne. She should pick Barack Obama as her running mate for the ultimate rage-inducing pair. Failing that, get Al Gore out of his fortress of Global Warming.

Then we can have Jeb Bush afterwards followed by Chelsea and then Neil, Marvin or Dorothy Bush.

If you have to tell yourself that go for it.

You must really care about my feels then since you can't seem to stop talking about them?

If her running mate was also a woman or at least a credible liberal it would increase the buttmad more I think.

Two women in the office just think of how well decorated the White House will be !

If SNL had good writers they would love the 2016 election.

Their idea of funny is Tina Fey Tina Fey and more Tina Fey.

Because, if you were to really look at it, you would notice that the federal funding is either in the "unrestricted" or "temporary restricted" categories. The problem is, if it was to be restricted by law, the funding itself should be in the "permanently restricted" category, wouldn't you think?
But it isn't restricted by a permanent law, it is restricted by a temporary rider attached to an appropriations bill. It just happens to have been re-issued for each allocation in the past almost-40 years.

I'm not an accountant, but you certainly could argue that it meets temporary restricted asset.

Permanently restricted net assets
The part of the net assets of a not-for-profit organization resulting (a) from contributions
and other inflows of assets whose use by the organization is limited by donor-imposed
stipulations that neither expire by passage of time nor can be fulfilled or otherwise
removed by actions of the organization, (b) from other asset enhancements and
diminishments subject to the same kinds of stipulations, and (c) from reclassifications
from (or to) other classes of net assets as a consequence of donor-imposed stipulations
(Concepts Statement 6, paragraph 92).
Temporarily restricted net assets
The part of the net assets of a not-for-profit organization resulting (a) from contributions
and other inflows of assets whose use by the organization is limited by donor-imposed
stipulations that either expire by passage of time or can be fulfilled and removed by
actions of the organization pursuant to those stipulations, (b) from other asset
enhancements and diminishments subject to the same kinds of stipulations, and (c) from
reclassifications to (or from) other classes of net assets as a consequence of
donor-imposed stipulations, their expiration by passage of time, or their fulfillment and
removal by actions of the organization pursuant to those stipulations (Concepts Statement
6, paragraph 93).
One would argue that the stipulation expires by the passage of time.

She is also doing her first "event" at a community college away from all the smarty pants students. She is realer than real.

You just quoted Balance Sheet Temporary Restricted Net Assets rules.

In the case of the government funding, these funds are "supposed" to be under stricter guidelines because of the law, meaning that if it was used for illegal purposes, the directors can be criminally held liable for such actions. Civilly too, if I'm not mistaken. So, it would fall under the guidelines of permanent restrictions, as those funds donated each year are permanently restricted with no date of expiration to them (grandfathered in).

At best, all Planned Parenthood did was commit minor fraud for improper reporting (yes, Sarbanes-Oxley will consider that as fraud, the directors did commit it by signing the returns attesting complete accuracy).

At worst, well, that's anyone's guess.

On that note, I wonder what her policies on taxes are.

Besides tax and spend.

I guess the liberal party still haven't written her acceptance speech yet, that comes first, right?

This is where the argument would take place. If the rider was not placed on the appropriations bill the next year/interval, does the restriction regarding previous donations still apply?
Again, not an accountant, but if the Hyde Amendment(or similar) was not re-issued, what is the implication for funds carried over?

So which candidate is the everyman again? Because every canddiate does this obnoxious "I'm just like you" pandering ***. It's as much a trope as kissing babies. Most of them are highly educated on paper and when they aren't being political are probably intelligent.

No, I'm not just like you. *slices filet mingnon* That's why I'm running for POTUS idiots. *sips wine* Because I'm better, the POTUS you deserve, highly educated with finer tastes. *applies napkin to lips* Do you really want some dipshit normie running foreign policy? *stands up* Didn't think so.

*deflates a football* Peasants. Feh.
