Comedian Dave Anthony: The podcast - some clarification.

comediandaveanthony:

The honest truth is things are worse than I thought. And they are pretty difficult for me to deal with, nor do I want to deal with it.

So, the podcast is shut down for now. I don’t know if it comes back or when it comes back. We were originally supposed to be down for a month and then we’d start…

This honestly makes me sad, but I hope it’s ultimately for the best for both Dave and Greg. Thanks for the time you shared with us, fellas. I’ll keep my hopes up for a triumphant return, but in the meantime take care of yourselves.

I have said that eHarmony really ought to put up $10 million and ask other companies to put up money and do a really first class job of figuring out homosexuality. … At the very best, it’s been a painful way for a lot of people to have to live.
The creator of eHarmony, who was forced as part of a court settlement to make a same-sex dating site. He says the marriage equality battle has “really damaged (his) company” and maybe companies should pool their resources to “figure out” what all that gayness is about, anyways. Ah, the usual loving acceptable from the Christian crowd. (via stfuconservatives)

CC: everyone who says “wahhhhh i don’t want to pay for your birth control”

Heres an idea! How about we save all the dollars and just stop having sex outside committed relationships that can actually handle the stress of a unplanned pregnancy? You fuck up, you pay for it. End of story. I honestly don’t see why I should pay for someone else’s birth control when I can barely afford it for myself. Know how I save money and don’t get knocked up? I don’t have sex! Novel idea. 

Also, to all the people who are going to try and give me shit for what I just wrote. I am not attacking anyone. I am not attacking a woman’s right to have sex. I am merely stating the fact that the most logical solution to ending the billions of dollars of taxpayers money is to try and educate the general public on the benefits of not having sex, and keeping it in their pants until they are able to actually afford a child (both financially and emotionally), even one who was unplanned. 

You say that such a thing will never happen in our generation? Well why not. We’re supposed to be one of the most intelligent, technologically savvy, and gifted generations to come so far, why would we let ourselves get held back by an urge as primal as sex? We have a heavily evolved brain, lets listen to it instead of our bodies/hormones.

Hey guys, “[w]e’re…one of the most intelligent, technologically savvy, and gifted generations to come so far”. So instead of making it easier for people to get birth control, let’s just ask everyone to abstain from sex. It will totally work because COMPUTERS AND STUFF!


So let’s see: throughout history, people having illicit sex has been a continuous Thing That Has Happened. Louis XIV got syphilis after a wild party in Versailles. “Sexually active popes” has its own Wikipedia page. Countless presidents, prime ministers, senators, governors, and other heads of state have been caught cheating. Abstinence-only education has been an abysmal failure everywhere it’s been tried. History has proven, again and again, in every possible arena, that it’s impossible to get folks to stop fucking, even if it threatens their career, health, social status, finances, or really anything. Other than asexual people, just about everybody fucks, or at least thinks extensively about fucking.

And you think American teenagers are going to subvert all of that, all of human history, because they have iPhones???

Well, in all fairness, iPhones are pretty awesome.
