    I can't tell, is this thing pro-rape or anti-rape?

    1. some guy   9 years ago

      No idea. Usually these are bad, but understandable. This time I have no idea what he's getting at.

      1. UnCivilServant   9 years ago

        I'm afraid I'm in the same boat - no idea what they're trying to say.

        1. Curt   9 years ago

          Mr. Bok, what you have just drawn is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever seen. At no point in your rambling, incoherent cartoon were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

          1. SQRLSY One   9 years ago

            If Government Almighty can reserve the option to draft (enslave) half of the human race of American citizens, then it can do the same to the other half as well.

            If Government Almighty can do all that, it could also require womyn to be on birth control to drink booze, so as not to hurt the fetus.

            That is my take on the cartoon... Seems straight-forward to me...

            1. Reverend Draco   9 years ago

              Yup.

      2. Trials and Trippelations   9 years ago

        MOAR LABELZ

        1. Swiss Servator   9 years ago

          Might help, but I am with the others....don't get it.

    2. Will4Freedom   9 years ago

      Pro-slavery. Conscription = involuntary servitude.

    3. Mr Lizard   9 years ago

      YES

      1. UnCivilServant   9 years ago

        Where have you been hiding? Did the cold shut down your metabolism?

        1. Suthenboy   9 years ago

          He probably was on an extended tropical vacation. Laying around on rocks in the sun and sipping bug juice.

          1. UnCivilServant   9 years ago

            That differs from his normal lifestyle how?

            1. Mr Lizard   9 years ago

              Well this time I wasn't crawling on your mother...

              1. UnCivilServant   9 years ago

                Your standard internet bluster is not physically possible.

                It must have been someone else's mother.

  2. Tejicano   9 years ago

    Oh yeah, it's pro-rape. But it not gender biased rape so that's OK.

  3. sloopyinTEXAS   9 years ago

    What the Bok is this shit?

  4. sloopyinTEXAS   9 years ago

    What the Bok is this shit?

    1. Mr Lizard   9 years ago

      Sqlr'd in the morning eh?

  5. SugarFree   9 years ago

    Bok is stringing a thread between the paternalism of the CDC warning fertile women not to drink and the extension of the draft to women in order to show that the government is an overbearing presence in women's lives.

    Both of these stories were just in the news.

    1. Will4Freedom   9 years ago

      *Hat tip to you for clearing that up*

  6. Rich   9 years ago

    Why is W.C.Fields wearing Uncle Sam's hat?

    1. Will4Freedom   9 years ago

      I think that's Homer and Moe, but I don't know the identity of the child nor the reason for the costumes.

  7. Rich   9 years ago

    And *slap!* to Whom It May Concern.

    1. Almanian's Rusty Woodchipper   9 years ago

      *SLAP!*

      been awhile!

      1. straffinrun   9 years ago

        *Slap!*

      2. WTF   9 years ago

        *SLAP!*

  8. Almanian's Rusty Woodchipper   9 years ago

    I don't get it. Awful - therefore, perfect.

    Happy Fucking Friday, Reasonoids, and here's another post from Fort Sill, OK and our own Derpetologist. Just a couple weeks to graduation as of this writing!

    Feb 5 Derpetologist update! Let's start with Spot the Not ? one of these things he did NOT say to his drill Sgt
    1) As you wish, Drill Sgt
    2) Shall I continue, Drill Sgt?
    3) Your left boot is untied, Drill Sgt
    4) I'm trying, Drill Sgt, but it's like trying to jerk off while wearing boxing gloves.
    5) I haven't called you anything except "Drill Sgt", Drill Sgt
    6) I'm running on nothing but raw determination and honey lemon cough drops, Drill Sgt.

    His troop no longer sings "My Girlfriend is a Vegetable" cadence because a soldier complained that it reminded him of his brother who died after being in a coma.
    Derpy's squad was "killed" in an ambush ? attacked from behind by machine gun.
    Derpy did a live-fire exercise . "Another guy and me took tuns rushing forward while providing covering fire. It was exciting."
    Derpy represented his platoon during the pugil stick tournament. "I clobbered the other guy. Observers said I was the only one who used any kind of strategy during the tournament." THAT'S OUR DERPETOLOGIST~
    GRADUATION ON THE 23rd!!!

    1. UnCivilServant   9 years ago

      #6 AND #3 are the nots.

    2. WTF   9 years ago

      Ima say #3.

    3. Swiss Servator   9 years ago

      #3 - he is too smart for that.

    4. Swiss Servator   9 years ago

      Derpy did a live-fire exercise . "Another guy and me took tuns rushing forward while providing covering fire. It was exciting."

      I hope he never gets to experience the adrenaline rush from it being for real...

  9. Tejicano   9 years ago

    Anybody who didn't see this coming - generals and others suggesting that women now be required to register for ther draft - don't understand how the military sees things.

    Next "surprise"? When they think they can do it they will require everybody in the military to declare their sexual preference.

  10. Almanian's Rusty Woodchipper   9 years ago

    #4 is the not - Derpy assured me

    (and that's funny)

    1. dantheserene   9 years ago

      A solder can go far on raw determination and honey lemon cough drops.

      1. Almanian's Rusty Woodchipper   9 years ago

        +1 Army of One

  11. Lord Humungus   9 years ago

    Bok: banned in the Geneva Convention as being worse than waterboarding.

    *screams into the abyss*

  12. GILMORE?   9 years ago

    I don't get it. Why is Hillary a midget slut.

  13. Able_Magwitch   9 years ago

    for those who don't get it, it is because you missed this story: http://reason.com/blog/2016/02.....ohol-drugs

  14. lukashik   8 years ago

    The technology is so developed that we can watch videos, live streaming, TV serials and any of our missed programs within our mobiles and PCs. Showbox
    All we need is a mobile or PC with a very good internet connection. There are many applications by which we can enjoy videos, our missed programs, live streaming etc.
