in a perfect world, one would hope that no woman would need to consider an abortion.
there is unfortunately, no perfect world and there does not seem there will ever be a perfect world.
so consider .... 1. a child rape case in paraguay.. ... but the plot unfolding in paraguay is so dark and twisted that it is currently tearing the south american country apart.it began on april 21 when a mother brought her 10-year-old daughter to a public hospital.
Perry:
What she went through is awful. It seems she recovered well, thankfully. Too bad she attributes her survival and our human accountability to a myth. Still, I don't know how prolific this sort of incident is, either way I don't know how any human being can strangle a child to death and it certainly disgusts me even as Someone who supports abortion.
this article was published by the wts on their website.. i find this jw practice of targeting vulnerable populations to be so disturbing.
the last thing that canadian aboriginal communities need is yet another institution that victimizes their members.. http://www.jw.org/en/news/releases/by-region/canada/inuit-bible-education-northern-canada/.
officials in remote northern canada thank jehovahs witnesses for special bible education campaign.
yesterday i had an email from amnesty international about the two sisters in an indian village who were sentenced by the village elders to be raped as a punishment for their brother falling in love with a woman from another hindu caste and eloping with her.. amnesty do a great deal of good work but the real force is individuals who sign the petitions and send letters and emails to political leaders.
people power folks, it really works.
for those of us who signed the petition and the rest of the over 300,000 people who did, meenakshi and her young sister thank you.
i was sitting on a train, across from me was a middle-aged man reading: "knowledge that leads to everlasting life" .
it was in english which is not the native language here.
it was underlined so i figured he was either a foreign jw or a study.
i just got the new document about blood fractions from the wt, they will allow you to choose hemoglobin, but apparently not packed red blood cells, but in the medical journal i see nothing about hemoglobin infusions, is this even possible or just more bullshit from the wt?
Everything you need to know about hemoglobin:

so i was fooled by the witnesses.
what can i learn from that?
not to accept things at face value but to seek out opinion and different view points.. hence my question " do you believe man landed on the moon?.
DJS:
While I don't find the content of those links surprising in the least, I do find the statistics somewhat disconcerting.

i suffer from cheese addiction.
lobsters are mercilessly boiled alive.. but after watching this new documentary called cowspiracy on netflix, all that may change.
Marmot:
I wasnt strictly referring to meat consumption in relation to population. I was referring to consumption in general. Still, if it worn't for our population explosion there would be no need for such a scale of mass production of meat, cars, housing, farming- you name it - anyway, but because suppliers don't want to be "short" on consumer demands they more often than not produce more than what is needed. And humans generally want more than what they actually need.
VI:
I completely agree, one child would be preferable but I can't forsee that anywhere globally in the near future. People still tend to think in terms of "If I can't see it or feel it then it may not actually be true", or their culture, bilogical drive or ideologies override the logical benefits of having fewer kids.
As far as restructuring goes I also completely agree. At least some of us see that as obvious. Right now we do our best to buy co-op or co-grow/share our veggies, fruit and herbs with our neighbors which as far as I'm concerned right now, is the best the wife and I can do until that restructuring revolution happens.

My wife and I are both hunters/fisherpeople and between our seasonal tags we get to fill our freezers every year with meat to last us almost 9 months. I only eat free range meat when not eating venison and even then red meat twice a week maximum. Most of my protein is from free range eggs.
Before I concern myself with what industrialized farming is doing, I would concern myself more with not breeding more than two kids per household (this is purely my opinion). Less population = fewer resource consumption, period. So my biggest contribution so far is a vasectomy. I think how much I saved this planet in resources by choosing NOT to have kids and although it's not enough, it certainly is more than than a dietary adjustment.
