Apparently saying vagina in MI can get you banned

If she were using medical terminology to speak about body parts, I wouldn't find it vulgar. The vulgarity is using medical terminology for the sake of being bombastic and hyperbolic, and detracting from the subject topic in doing so. It's a vulgar display of rudeness and ill-mannered behavior, and not appropriate for the floor or any legislative body. She was given the opportunity to speak on the issue at hand, not make bombastic statements for the express purpose of evoking an emotive response. I would have the same response if someone from the 'pro-life' side had made a comment regarding "murdering people in cold blood." Hyperbolic displays have no place in the arena of serious debate. They are a DISTRACTION from it. IF we allow such displays, our entire system and process devolves into what this forum often illustrates, a great big pile of rhetorical hyperbolic SHIT that no one can sift through to find the reasoned points of a debate. As much as you may think that works well here, it doesn't work in a legislative body which has to decide on matters of law and make informed choices. There, you need some decorum, something more than GRIND trying to wrap his mind around whether "redneck southern racist bigot" is actually a "personal insult" to me or not, and which "rule" it violated. That kind of lackadaisical approach is fine for an obscure political message board, but not for a congressional body.

It doesn't matter that she used it to be bombastic or even sarcastic. Using medical terminology isn't vulgar. Let her look like a child, don't pretend that your virgin ears can't take the word "vagina", let her look the fool and stop trying to make yourself look like one.

seriously...vagina is now shocking?!?!

of course the proper terminology would be womb, but seriously, having a cow over the word vagina is simply stupid. and to ban them from further speech is wholly unconstitutional. i can't believe any con would support this.l

Really, you find it surprising that the religious right would find vagina offensive or shocking. They have on a crusade to stop vagina from having sex with penises for decades. They also want two penises to stop engaging in the alternate fucking of anuses, women's tongues from licking other vagina and any other form if sexual activity they find objectionable.

The republicans have appointed themselves the sex and reproduction police. They would have fit in well in communist Romania.

And yet, they claim to be the party of smaller gov't. Isn't that a hoot?

Yeah, I'd kick her ass out too. It's sarcastic and vulgar.

I can agree that it was sarcastic, she was being deliberately aggressive in her language trying to defend what she thinks is a right. I don't think it is "vulgar" though. I think it was a distraction, childish, and made her look like a fool... right up until some idiot banned her from speaking because she said it and instead made her into a victim.

you expect me to know that a whiny thread about the alleged war on women is the same as this? :pke:

i've pretty much given up on those threads an ignore 90-% of them because they are bullshit.

btw....do cite her exact words. if she said those exact words, i will recant.

we should give a fuck whether you recant?.......what do you think she implied when she said "no means no"?.....
 
I think she was just being a bitch. That would probably also be frowned upon, because I'm trying to attack someone else in my use of the word "bitch."

See bold below... You said you "would" recant, he asked who would care if you did...
