They have already tried to make T.P. so people couldn’t afford it just because some were hoarding it. Bad idea.

“Is it for the bore cleaning solution or for the excess oil as well? “

For the bore I use a bore snake with a cleaner and then some gun oil. I use the pads with gun oil on them to wipe down the exterior of the weapon.

These power-crazed fascists in the Scottish government are
so ridiculous, it’s jaw-dropping. They are fighting for “Menses Justice!”

How about this, you dumb@ss Scots: Why don’t you take that money you’re willing to spend and actually do some good in the world—like sending free feminine hygiene products to desperately poor girls in African countries.

These girls can’t attend school when they have their periods, they have to just stay home one week a month. They can’t afford to buy Kotex/Tampax, and they can’t go to school while they’re bleeding beccause of the stigma and shame. How about helping these desperately poor little African black girls?!?

Oh yeah, that’s right, your “charity” is more about your power over others in your country instead of real charity.

Sanitary napkins are good to have in a first aid kit, but not for period whatever.

Tampons are good to have around to plug bullet holes too.

Government issues tampons will be as bad as government-made food.

“period poverty”

I had no idea this was a problem.

However, now that I think about it, I do think I remember some bimbo (Sandra Fluke?) who a few years ago advocated that government should provide these products for free. Rush ridiculed her for it and another movement was started to shut him down by running off his advertisers for being “mean to her.”

Sandra Fluke, who demanded the right to taxpayer funded contraceptives, had a point though; there were millions of people who'd gladly pay money to prevent her from breeding.

Her mistake was not recognizing that these same millions of people wanted to pay for a hysterectomy, not a temporary solution that she controlled.

They should be available without cost as should birth control.

Diapers should be free also as should trash bags.

During a terrain map briefing of the CG 82d I received a kudos for using a tampon to represent a Dragon AT weapon location. Yes, it was painted camo.

England is paying for this. Makes you wonder if the SNP really wants independence at all. How are they going to pay for all this free sht when the English taxpayer is no longer on the hook for paying for all of it?
