lol a c-section is significantly more dangerous than the natural method.

plus she'll have a huge scar that will probably make goatstein stop loving her

what is the function of the stomach? is it to digest food? obviously. is that why the stomach exists? in a meaningful sense, yes. why not call it purpose?



"function" and "purpose" don't mean the same thing even in regular speech, much less in evolutionary theory

in any case it's invalid to point to a trait's function and say "that's why x trait exists", traits arise prior to their adaptive value being expressed, are normally multifunctional, and most traits of interest are governed by genetic regulatory networks that are not independent of those governing other traits. unless you've worked out stomach or ballsack genetics and done selective pressure experiments on the governing alleles you can't even say a trait was selected for a particular function with any certainty

My function is as a smarmy child punching-bag. This will be my purpose..

my wife really wanted to be surprised and spend 30 hours in labor beginning at 1 am on a tuesday but that bitch of a doctor just browbeat her into submission

#578
this is a perfect opportunity for a giant head/tiny vagina joke. possibly with some sideways flair. you guys are slipping
#579
yeah, 30 hours doing the normal WHO-prescribed method of giving birth, way better than fucking dying because you had a date the next night.

cycloneman you have about as much business telling people how to give birth as i have telling barry bonds how to play baseball

#583
yes, dr. fisher's office? hi laura, john goatstein. fine, thanks. so i think we're gonna go ahead and do it the natural way. well, an autistic teen virgin said that it doesnt make a lot of sense. on the internet. yes. stop laughing!!
#584
so did the World Health Organization.
#585
im sure the natural birthing method is generally superior infection- and bleeding-wise when giving birth in the yurt, but in the portions of the world where we have a surplus of sutures and a deficiency of wild dogs to steal the afterbirth its not so bad

why are you even having a baby anyway. why ruin your vagina or live with horrible abdominal scars when you can outsource giving birth to some poor woman in the boonies. these days you can even check the baby beforehand for FAS and get one that's white enough to be worth loving.

Uh, poor people's genes are all fucked up and defective much? Nice troll attempt though.

can we go back to the part where goldsmith said he raped some chicks or something and he felt bad about it so now no one should have sex w/ someone they don't love?
