I'm getting old ... cause I remember the time long ago when libtards had enough shame to keep them from bragging about getting dosed with a virus that causes genital warts.

The City Council is a disgrace in every sense of the word.
There's one councilman, Ydanis Rodriguez, who doesn't even speak English.
I'm not even exaggerating.

This is a byproduct of the sexual revolution. I’ve seen stats saying 47% of women have HPV.

Why does it need to be destigmatized?
Should murder be destigmatized?
Wanting people to be wary and careful is a good thing, isn’t it?
It doesn’t need to be “destigmatized”, the words should be “Object Lesson”

Her tweet was a public service announcement for all the (apparently blind) men or dikes she has been with.

The dependent clause is correctly placed to modify “Mark-Viverito.”
If the clause were to describe the aide, the commas would be omitted: “An aide to Mark-Viverito who is not married explained ...”

Because in a Liberal’s mind everyone should be equal and there should be no moral responsibility. Those who are reckless and foolish in their decisions should shoulder no blame and no stigma for their foolishness. They should be viewed as morally equivalent to those who have attempted to choose wisely and live by higher standards.

WHHHEEEEW! I just bought a new car with a turbo and I swear I saw 500 HPV on the headers. Then I saw that pig.
