Joe, if it were one isolated statement maybe I would retract. However, you have made MANY statements in your posts (including your rebuttal to me) that shows your distaste for America. If you weren't making the statements, I wouldn't even be calling you out. Own it.

Am I wrong?

I have no opinion of America, as I have never been there. I was stating that what I know about it, is the information given out by news broadcasters from all over the world and they seem to paint a pretty bleak picture. Let me give you an example, my wifes' uncle lives in USA, when she booked a holiday there, it was recommended that she did not take the option of a hire car as the registration number gives it away. But myself personally with working in bars for over 10 years in the past, I have never met a nasty American man or woman.

They have found a first report of a Dr that first reached Lincoln from the movie theatre immediately after he was shot. An undiscovered report according to news sources. Shedding nothing new but it was the first Dr report and gave insight into the lack of ability for Dr's of the time to to any more. But he was praised for doing waht he could and in fact reviving the fatally wounded president for a short time.

Do you think the Mom was out of line for cheering or the police officer for arresting her?

Hard to believe this sort of thing is still going on in 2012 but unfortunately, it is.

Cooked Squid Inseminates Woman’s Mouth
Here’s one not for the squeamish, from South Korea: A semi-cooked squid inseminated a woman’s mouth, according to a paper published in the Journal of Parasitology. After experiencing “severe pain in her oral cavity” when she bit into her seafood, the woman spat out her meal, but continued to feel a lingering “pricking” sensation.

Doctors found that the 63-year-old woman had “small, white spindle-shaped bug-like organisms” lodged in the mucous membrane of her tongue, cheek and gums.

Despite having been boiled, the dead squid’s live spermatophores, or sperm sacks, were alive and penetrated the woman’s mouth. The sacks, which contain ejaculatory devices, forcefully release sperm and a “cement” that attaches the sperm to a wall.

Not to worry, calamari lovers. Most Western-world squid preparation removes the squid’s internal organs, leaving only its muscle for eaters to enjoy, according to Danna Staaf, who writes the blog Squid a Day, published on Science 2.0.

Seafood, anyone?

Well, in accordance with her (misguided, amoral, socialist) primary belief that terminating human life saves the planet why has she not yet killed herself? May I suggest it is simply because she's a selfish, murdering hypocrite.

Not wanting to beat a dead horse here I just had to comment having seen this for the first time. Obviously, the passionate nature of the responses to what is, in effect, a personal descision was rather puzzling. Regardless of the reason(s) these women have for choosing not to have a baby, I would rather them not procreate than to procreate and abuse or ignore the child. If many more people out there followed their true feelings and choose not to have children there would sure be a lot less child abuse than there is.

Also, I too do not understand the reason why everyone must procreate? Some people are meant to be parents, some not, so simply respect a persons descision for choice. Honestly, if the woman came right out and said she hates kids and simply does not want to have them would she still be viewed as bad? What exactly is the criteria for a woman to be viewed as good but yet choose to not reproduce? Are the issues mutually exclusive?

The point I am trying to make is why vilify this woman simply for making a descision which affects ONLY HER? By vilifying her are not the vilifiers the selfish ones? We all find ourselves on a planet housing over 7 billion people with diminishing resources and these women are considered selfish? I guess I missed something in the article. Fact is, some people want children, some don't. The choice is up to the individual without recrimination.
