Get the Conscious full spectrum response mug.Similar to the race card, but used by conservatives.
Something they tout as an answer to every single social issue in existence. Such reasoning is fallacious, however, because in actuality life is much more complicated..
Conservative: If people don't want babies, they shouldn't have sex. That way, abortion wouldn't even be necessary. Think, liberals, think! Personal responsibility, people!
Liberal/Moderate: Ok, so if abortion was banned, it's true that less people would have irresponsible sex, and there might be far fewer abortions. You're right on that one. But what about in cases of rape? You can't mount the "personal responsibility" defense there - people don't choose to get raped.
Conservative: Make abortion legal only in cases of rape then.
L/M: Well how are you supposed to know when the hell she's lying then? You'd be encouraging women to lie. Same problem as before, she just has to employ a different method of getting around it. How are you supposed to distinguish between the liars and the true victims?
Conservative: Polygraph.
L/M: In a perfect world, those things are fully reliable. But they're clearly not. Since we don't live in a perfect world, and polygraphs sometimes fail, we may as well legalize abortion considering that there are many cases where it's very necessary. Of course there are whores who will use it as birth control. But that's unavoidable.

"personal responsibility card"
Personal responsibility is important but it doesn't take into account factors that are outside of the person's control. For instance, conservatives are operating under the assumption that welfare discourages the work ethic and personal responsibility. But what about people with Parkinson's, or similar diseases? What about valuable workers that have been laid off en masse by struggling companies and need aid to get that back on their feet? Are they necessarily lazy and lacking personal responsibility?

Get the blue response mug.an alternative term for 'fair enough'.
When me and my finace were stoned, we sat there and wondered where glitter came from. Don't worry, this is going somewhere. We decided that as 'fairies' (in their disney sense) were glittery, it was OBVIOUS that they came glitter. Therefore, glitter is made by factories of fairies, masturbating. They are forced to do so. When they come, they shriek 'glitter'. Now, as Fairy Muff sounds like Fair Enough, me and my fiance started to use it instead. The other one of us would say 'glitter' in a high pitched tone of voice in response.

Get the Responsibeerity mug.This is a response to the dilemma of having to choose between Bud Light or Blight, and Bud Light Platinum or Plight. Like the fight-or-flight response, the blight-or-plight response is a physiologic reaction to a perceived harmful event, attack, or threat to survival. After the initial shock due to a systematic increase in adrenaline, the response results in disgust and rejection of either beer option.
When I first walked into the liquor store I had a wicked blight-or-plight response until I realized the microbrews were hidden all the way in the back.
