Commented on Chinese grifters posing as brides work the countryside
Wow, you commenters are pretty heartless. Forget the societal ills BS for a sec, and consider the actual situation. The males looking for wives did not kill the females, their parents may have, but let's not condemn the children for...

Commented on Massive archive of US Army medical illustrations and photos free online
I like the idea behind "You pay taxes. These are your pictures," Rhode said. "You should be able to see them." I've always wanted to drive a tank, just once at least, or see the depths of Cheyenne Mountain, or...

Commented on UN security council classifies rape a "war tactic"
Takuan, I don't think anyone doubted your point about arms to Africa. Sorry you had to do all that work. I guess your other point was that the Western nations also have their hands in Africa. Not a surprise. Strangely...
Commented on UN security council classifies rape a "war tactic"
Takuan, I am very surprised that a cynical guy like you would even think such a law was in any way worthwhile. Do you think China and Russia would have any qualms signing such a bill for the sole reason...
Commented on Short film with smiling giant pencil and a girl
ACB, Um ... no. I one hand, I am hoping that "The Doctor and the Pencil" is just a joke, and on the other hand it would be funnier if it wasn't....
Commented on Old comic book depicts US suicide bomber as hero
As a ex-soldier, I can say that you are slightly off Takuan, the purpose of a soldier is to achieve a military objective. How they achieve it is subject to many things. Soldiers, as many of you may be, are...
Commented on Petitioners seek pardon for "witch" jailed in 1944
Gee I can't wait till next year when people don't feel the need to invoke Bush in half the comments. Is he the new Godwin?...
Commented on BIL is to TED as BarCamp is to Foo Camp
"Our event is self-organizing, emergent, and anarchic." Yeah, no kidding, there was a BIL yesterday in my bathroom and then again today in my neighbors pool....
Commented on Anna Rexia Halloween costume
Yeah, I've never seen anyone dress in anything designed to disturb or offend anyone on Halloween. In any case, an oldy, but I think an appropriate link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AtCmpSW7TY...

dainel commented on Chinese grifters posing as brides work the countryside
In China, the ratio for under 15s is 113 boys to 100 girls. In those aged 15-65, the ratio is 106 males to 100 females. 113 is higher than 105 for the world average. But not really that high. It's significant, but not enough to cause entire villages to be without any girls. Reading that article, you would have thought that there were 3 boys for every 1 girl born. Note: even without any selective abortion or infanticide, the natural ratio is not perfectly 1:1. There is a slight excess of boys. In fact, approximately, about 1.05...

Digilante @ 47: You need to read up on regression towards the mean as it relates to inherited intelligence. And also ruminate on the effect of class on education, as opposed to intelligence....

@Kieran O'Neill #8 most hospitals in Canada refuse to tell parents their baby's gender before birth Citation, please? I'm Canadian (live in Ontario), and every pregnant woman I have ever known has been given the option of learning their child's gender before birth. A few choose not to find out, wanting it to be a surprise or for other reasons, but I have never met anyone whose hospital refused to tell them....
