Quote from Lucrum:
You seem to be suggesting that ONLY women should decide female issues such as rape abortion etc.

I merely asked why not/suggested that only tax payers should vote on tax related issues.

I am in complete agreement with that. In fact, I was going to further suggest that people's votes (on tax issues especially) should be weighed by their expected contribution to the nation's finances. So, for example, if you're elderly, retired and are not paying taxes, should your vote have the same weight in budget decisions that affect primarily the taxpayers of the next generation? IMHO, the skewed incentives for elderly taxpayers contribute to why Japan finds itself in such an unpleasant fiscal situation.

I tell you what I'll apologize when fertility clinics start advocating rape as a way to increase fertility.
I suspect something is seriously skewed with their methodology otherwise you are attempting to prove evolution favors rape and an abnormal sexual response.

Are you sure you liberals are okay with the implications of going down this road? I think not.

OH yea, that will go over big. One persons vote counts for less than another one. :eek: How's about this? If you haven't served in the military, you don't get to vote at all. Since wars are the most costly thing we can vote on, only those who have served can have a valid opinion. I like that one.

OK, so back to your original suggestion. How are you going to index how much a women's vote on female issues is counted? The size of her vagina?

You clearly typed that on the fly. Only the military can vote?

I'm just saying to my conservative friends, if we're going to decide whose vote has more value, the military man/woman goes to the front of the line and every other one the deadbeats that enjoy the freedom they paid no price for can pound sand.

Former/current military, land owners and federal income tax payers. One vote per. I'd be OK with that.

Of course the democratic party would all but cease to exist, but I could live with that.
