[You Make Me]

Congratualations!

Much overdo. That was amazing. Animation was perfect. You timed everything exactly and used great ideas for a weird song (which was also great).

[Evil Josh & Billy]

Mixed.

Some of it was funny. Other parts weren't. Watch it yourself, and you will know exactly what I'm talking about.

[Shortpacked!]

Short but Sweet

I have no idea what he was whispering, but it was funny. It was ALL funny. Isn't that enough???

[A diary of an unborn kid.]

You hate it because you know it's true

Sad but disturbingly funny.

[How 2 Succeed on NG]

Excruciating.

It felt like that went on forever. Don't talk so slowly, next time. Most of what you said is correct, but Carlos Mencia is definitely not a dousche-bag.

Boring

I started drifting off about two minutes into it--really, I did. I hit my head on the desk before I fell asleep, though.

Okay, having said that, it was the worst pro-life argument I've heard...maybe. I don't know if McCain would have said those things, but I wouldn't be surprised if he did (ambiguous weasel...)

Conservatives don't want to ban abortions all together; they just want to eliminate revolving-door clinics. Abortion is a horrible thing that shouldn't be an alternative to safe-sex. "Accidents" that do happen are not the child's fault, and to kill the child for your own carelessness is abhorrent. Rape is kind of a gray area, but an abortion is always a horrible thing to do for any reason (even to save the mother, which is no-contest).

The arguments about back-alley abortions are over-hyped and should be considered offensive to women everywhere. Some people want you to think that without abortion clinics, women would be disemboweling themselves behind porn-shops all over the country. I don't have to tell you this is absurd (but I will). There was no national crisis before Roe vs. Wade. Interestingly enough, all we hear about today is the horrible things young women are doing to their babies (high schoolers dumping them in trash-cans on prom night [another tasteful MacFarlaine joke]; college students doing the same, sometimes repeatedly). I'm not saying this is a direct result of Roe vs. Wade, but it's clear that society's attitude about children (especially women's) has degenerated in the past half-century. There are abortion clinics available all over the country, but some women still wait until they're born to take their lives.

Even if I believed some good came out of Roe vs. Wade, I would never consider it an achievement worth celebrating. A woman's "right to choose" is about as dignified as Manson's right to pick Kool-Aid from some other rancid drink. Men don't even get away with leaving their children with their mothers, yet women are allowed to kill them on a whim.

I think I've exhausted the subject.

Cambo responds:

this is a really intelligent defence of not having abortions in some situations. I'm not for or against abortion, so you know.

But playing devil's advocate, say a woman got pregnant because she forgot to take the pill. You wouldn't allow her to have an abortion? On what grounds?

Acknowledging as you have that abortion is always a horrible thing to do, do you think that you'd make a better decision than the mother in this situation? Why?

And women aren't allowed to kill their children on a whim, I think if you believe that you're misunderstanding the concept of abortion.

Also, your statement that "[women's] attitudes about children have degenerated in the past half-century" isn't true. You on one hand use the example of the back-alley abortion as a gross over-exaggeration - but, acknowledging that they're horrible and have happened in extreme cases, surely you wouldn't say this is indicative of women's attitudes towards children in the last century? Surely your opinion of women's attitudes about the issue of child-raising is based on the overwhelming majority.

So then why are you characterising the attitudes of women in the last fifty years with the very feint anecdotal example of women who "still wait until [their children are] born to take their loves"?

Furthermore, I don't know of any examples of this happening as an alternative to abortion. This has happened - mothers do occasionally murder their infants - but it's almost always as a result of mental illness or post-natal depression. And I wouldn't say that that has anything to do with society's attitudes to abortion.

I don't really understand your Manson's right to Kool-Aid comment though.

Excellent Flash

It was political without pissing me off but still made me laugh. Whatever you believe, I liked this a lot. It's much better than listening to Seth Macfarlane call our troops rapists for laughs.

Cambo responds:

i was going to say that it's good you can separate your criticism from your political views, but I think a lot of people like this flash BECAUSE of their views. And I'm glad people like this flash.

So I suppose I'm just glad you like it.

[Birthday Surprise]

No way

That was awful. How did you...no, don't tell me.

[Not-The-FFXII Extras]

That wasn't as amusing as I hoped it would be.

That wasn't as amusing as I hoped it would be.

Bobert-Rob responds:

You're not as amused as I hoped you would be.
