Urban Outfitters sells Mitt Romney shirts.
Oh shit, let’s all bitch about it on tumblr and maybe mention the Ron Paul shirts they also sell but let’s mostly talk about the Mitt Romney ones. But remember! Don’t mention the Obama shirts, because we like Obama! And we need another reason to bitch about Urban Outfitters since the old CEO is gone, and they’re lacking homophobia.
Guys. They’re selling shirts for each presidential candidate. Not singling out Mitt Romney, or even Republicans. Chill the fuck out.
And let’s be honest here. Who cares if a private company wants to sell Mitt Romney shirts? You can/could get Barack Obama shirts not only from UO, Spencer’s, Zumiez, nd online retailers. Just like you can get them for Romney, Paul, hell you can probably get Colbert/Stewart ones too.
They are t-shirts. And if people are getting upset about this, they need to find something else to do with their time.

I Don't Make Monkeys: Why I am not "Pro-Choice"
Wow, did I seriously just read someone defending abortion because only white babies have a good chance of getting adopted, implying it’s better to abort a pregnancy than consider adoption because the child isn’t white? Wow. Just wow.
It’s funny, I used to be pro-choice, but I morally cannot…
It’s not necessarily that it’s better to abort the pregnancy. It’s just a fact pointed out to people who constantly champion adoption as being the best option, when in fact it is not- children sit in the system for YEARS in many cases waiting for the “willing families” to adopt them.
And I think it’s quite a mature decision to realize you cannot handle supporting a child FOR THE NEXT EIGHTEEN YEARS OF YOUR LIFE. People need to realize that parenting isn’t easy at all and it’s not something you can just skip through like a field of fucking flowers. Just because someone has sex does not mean they are mature enough to handle having children. Not everyone has sex purely for procreation, and for you to judge others- whom you have never met- so harshly for their personal sexual decisions is just as immature and childish. For you to tell people that they are disgusting and should be ashamed is just as immature and childish. You do not know their situation or their personal lives.
And birth control IS HARD to acquire for some people. You know, like rural communities? People who don’t have the money or access?
I’m astonished at how willingly you point an accusing and unsympathetic finger at people who have abortions or use birth control that fails. “but you need to deal with it because you should have known there was a chance it could fail.” What the motherfuck? Are you serious? Don’t get so high and mighty on your horse there, dear. Nothing’s perfect, and it’s quite unfair of you to expect people to know everything about using birth control and expect everything to work out 100% perfectly.
And yes, there is availability of information. Unfortunately, it doesn’t get dispersed because of idiotic politicians, a poor education system, and people who champion abstinence-only health classes.
Man, I’ll never understand how libertarians can be pro-life, but whatever. It’s your opinion, though I feel there are many flaws in this particular argument, not to mention a lack of sympathy for people who don’t always have options and access to everything you and I do.

"So far, President Obama and Democratic groups supporting him have raised $450 million for the 2012 campaign. Mitt Romney and Republican groups backing him have raised $400 million. The two campaigns and Super PACs will together spend close to $2 billion - by far, the most expensive election ever."
Associated Press (via endthebushtaxcuts)
Politicians are no better than celebrities when it comes to throwing money down the drain.

Hosni Mubarak was found guilty of allowing the deaths of at least 800 protesters in the 18-day uprising that toppled his presidency in 2011. He was given a life sentence, which he will serve in Torah prison in southern Cairo. Given a life sentence alongside him was his former interior minister Habib el-Adly. The corruption charges leveled against his sons, Gamal and Alaa, were dropped.
The picture above was taken and tweeted by Al Jazeera’s @glcarlstrom, and is of parents outside the courthouse who have dropped to their knees crying over the portrait of their martyred son after hearing the news of the verdict.

The Crazy Corner: Abortion Is Murder
You can’t kill your 2 year old because you’re broke. You shouldn’t be able to kill your unborn baby because you’re broke.
You can’t kill your 2 year old because you’re not in a stable relationship and you don’t want to be a single parent.You shouldn’t be able to kill your unborn baby because…
You’re comparing a two year old to a fetus.
There’s a noticeable difference between the two.

Stand For What Is Right: Another thing I hate:
The factitious images pro-lifers post of “babies” that have been aborted. Having been to the Body’s Exhibit that toured the U.S., I know what a fetus at each stage of development looks like. The B.E. had a section just for fetus development in which they had a fetus from every week of a pregnancy…
^^ This.
Also on a side note, really wish I could have seen that exhibit.

Liberal Hypocrisy
Sex-based abortion is reprehensible in China!
Sex-based abortion is A-okay in America!
Show me solid proof that sex-based abortion is happening in the United States.
It should also be noted that a good 77% of Americans are against sex-based abortions in the first place…that number isn’t limited to just pro-lifers.
