Talblog: This just tickles me...

This just tickles me...

So i was at a poster sale at the university the other day when i saw a poster that spawned a memory of the blog. Not to long ago the site T-shirt hell.com was posted. Among other things, the shirt that quoted "abortions tickle" stuck in my mind. Anyways, my girlfriend and i were talking about said shirt when some nosey reporter for the Brock Press was at the same time clusterfucking our words into her little bitch of the week story. Our conversation went something like this:

"hey i went to the funnyest site the other day. I'm totaly gonna buy some shirts from there, there was a hillarious one that said ABOTIONS TICKLE."

"hah thats funny"

END!

This is what the article in the paper said

STAFF EDITORIAL
'Abortion tickles,' hatred is sad
by Christine Lambert

At the imaginus poster sale last wednesday I was wandering around in the rather quiet back room when i heard the girl standing beside me say loudly, "womens should feel guilty for having an abortion," in reaction to a feminist poster. At which the boy with her began to say some unmemorable things, finaly ending their discussion with the phrase, "abortions tickle."
The hate laced in those words instantly infected me and my gut reaction was to turn around and tell them in some unfavorable language the heartlessness of their comments, and make them feel guilty, but then i realized that i had just become guilty of the same thing they were, a superiority complex.
While i have never been in the situation of having an unwanted pregnancy, i have compassion for those who have.
I know the weight of the decision of whether or not to leave my family for university was one with such life-0changing ramifications that it make me feel like i was choosing between life and death.
But the choise of right and wrong on such an issue, where there are so many answers out there, and the result literally is life or death -- how can one trivialize such a thing? Some consider it murder, a tragedy, and some view it as a necessary step. Can we not be understanding with those who regret their decision? Have we never made life-altering chouses ourselves and doubted? Correct me if im wrong, but if you were in her shouse, living her life, whould it be easy to judge?
The only person i know well enough to decide what's best for is myself, and I'm rarely sure about that.
There are very few people in this world who have the right to enforce or expect compliance to their set of beliefs. The next time you decide your way is the only way, think about the six biullion other 'ways,' and meditate on how you feel when someone tells you the way they live their life is how you should live yours.
Treat others the way you want to be treated, and only throw the stone after you've decided you aren't worthy of a stoning yourself.

Alright sister... Next time, make sure you base your pro humanity shpeal on actual events and not feeble misquotes. Makes me wonder if she had a deadline 1 hour away. LOL and "unmemorable things" yea thats fine, unless the unmemorable things were I SAW A T-SHIRT THAT SAID. Dumb bitch... that pisses me right off

Wow... how can she get away with such a thing? She must be one of those "I am going over to the coffee shop to write" types... And if she is looking to be a journalist, she should look for some integrity on her travels, otherwise she is going to be making up alien baby invasion stories for the national enquirer.

yea, she's a liar too...you should write in an annoymous tip to the newspaper that say she's giving out false information.

Posted by: brett at December 5, 2004 11:49 PM

damn the tip im gonna make their asses print a retraction and embarrass the hell outta them...

no shit! i would too. you can totally write an editorial and submit it. i'm sure they would, seeing as it's a controversial topic and their bitchass reporter was WRONG. was that just a crappy commentary section or something, b/c if she wants to be a writer, then the bitch needs direct quotes and NAMES attached. i'll write the retraction FOR YOU. she's an amateur.

oh please do it. and then scan the article when it gets in the paper...who knows what kinda 'dear abbey' battle you could have going on back and worth with this girl through the newspaper! It'd be so rad.

Posted by: brett at December 6, 2004 12:25 PM

somebody needs to write it and justin can submit it. I started one but it fizzled out... missy, GO.

Abortion has always been a heavy topic in our society. Some people have strong feelings on it and take any opportunity to broadcast them. Justin was commenting on the creative word play of such a serious topic which triggered a response from a highly sensitve young scribe who was panicking for a story.

Injustice, poverty, slavery, ignorance - these may be cured by reform or revolution. But men do not live only by fighting evils. They live by positive goals, individual and collective, a vast variety of them, seldom predictable, at times incompatible. by free online poker
