Asp Forum - Re: What do you use Ruby for?

I started learning Perl a couple of years ago. I still like
Perl a lot, and use it.
I make a living as a software tester, though, and one of the
most promising tools for a kind of testing that I'm about to be doing is
written in Ruby: http://www.clabs.org/wtr/index.cgi?p.... I'm
really impressed by the project and its developers. So I'm learning
Ruby.
I don't have a very strong OO background, so progress is in fits
and starts. Ruby seems like a really good way for me to get a grasp on
objects, something I've managed to avoid in my career until now.

The idea behind providing birth control through health plans the Obama
way is to actually save money. How does it save money? About 5
years' worth of pills is equivalent to the cost of a single abortion
and about 10 times that for a hospital birth. Multiply that by about
100 million American women of child-bearing age and you can see how
much money can be saved on the health care system by making birth
preventable. But I see that you're too math deficient and life stupid
to understand that.

Too bad that your mother didn't want to be that frugal.

And the REALLY good part about it is it prevents thousands of negro
babies from being born !! Can you say "Margaret Sanger"??

http://michellemalkin.com/2012/02/10/to-stop-the-multiplication-of-the-unfit-to-stop-the-multiplication-of-...

If you aren’t creeped out by the No Birth Control Left Behind rhetoric
of the White House and Planned Parenthood, you aren’t listening
closely enough. The anesthetic of progressive benevolence always dulls
the senses. Wake up.

When a bunch of wealthy white women and elite Washington bureaucrats
defend the trampling of religious liberties in the name of “increased
access” to “reproductive services” for “poor” women, the ghost of
Margaret Sanger is cackling.

As she wrote in her autobiography, Sanger founded Planned Parenthood
in 1916 “to stop the multiplication of the unfit.” This, she boasted,
would be “the most important and greatest step towards race
betterment.” While she oversaw the mass murder of black babies, Sanger
cynically recruited minority activists to front her death racket. She
conspired with eugenics financier and businessman Clarence Gamble to
“hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service
backgrounds, and with engaging personalities” to sell their genocidal
policies as community health and welfare services.

Outright murder wouldn’t sell. But wrapping it under the egalitarian
cloak of “women’s health” — and adorning it with the moral authority
of black churches — would. Sanger and Gamble called their deadly
campaign “The Negro Project.”

You are hopelessly trying to educate the Leftist LibTards with the facts of
the situation. Unfortunately, you bring 'em books and all the curs will do
is chew off the covers and belch loudly about their ignorance.

But kudos for giving it a try!
