Cause

Cause is short for because. It is a conjunction like because and is also referred to as a verb.
We did it cause we felt it was needed.

Caused

And you're still wrong. I don't make a harm argument. I actually demonstrate (explicitly) why a harm argument wouldn't be a good one (Citing stealing meds as an example as "not having Concerta" doesn't constitute a state of harm). I cite the logistical irrelevance BUT that doesn't speak to the social relevance as A selection criteria OR as HER selection criteria. No, CLEARLY I'm too easy to flatter. What would it take for you to actually cede ANY point regarding a woman's choice in the context of sex? If there an age? 5 years old? If it gets hard it ships? Animals? What would it take for her to be wrong? Nothing? If the answer to that question is "Nothing" then your arguments for why this particular instance is justified are irrelevant. A woman CAN'T be wrong to you.
Hym "Whether or not it caused any harm is irrelevant. My argument is and alway has been gender-based discrimination in the ENFORCEMENT of rules, creating a hostile work environment where I was threatened with punitive action EXPLICITLY for THE RETARD NOT DOING WHAT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO and at the same the other one is fucking the retard. I'm being deprived of damages that become increasingly medically necessary. And even THESE are only some of the MANY grievances I have. You know what? Nevermind. Better yet, I'll just sit and wait to have a stroke. Oo! Or I could care about your kids! That would do it. No, it's fine. Your argument for why I should be fine with you fucking a retard instead of me a far more important than any. It's fine. Your fine."

Cause Cannon

A wearisome, vacuous windbag that takes any opportunity to spout Guardian-esque pinko rhetoric in relation to any left-wing hobby-horse as if they were an authority that cannot be challenged or questioned.
"That twerp Tarquin's mouth sewer was firing out the Mayor's tripe about air quality in the pub again last night as if it's not a smoke screen for more stealth taxation. What a total Cause Cannon."
