Friday Roundup

Dude. Some criminal breaks in your house, you corner him at gunpoint and call 911, and the cops shoot you instead. In the back as well as in the front. 6 times.

Darwin fail. Penna woman killed by her pet black bear.

This is for all those women who crow about man-not-included reproduction: Stanford scientists create eggs and sperm from stem cells, thus removing both men and women from the reproductive equation.

More reproductive fun: Japanese researchers create three-parent embryos.

It's never too late: Eight-year PP director has change of heart, now opposes abortion.

Rickets making a comeback?

Think before you deploy those guns, guys. 16% of Americans infected with herpes, including 48% of black women and 21% of white women.

Publik Skool Drool #1: Well, at least they're vaguely aware of the programming that goes on in PS. Sort of. 60% of parents say their kids' textbooks place political correctness above accuracy.

Publik Skool Drool #2: This is the mentality of the government agents paid to program your children, folks. But best of all was this quote from a former RI National Guard commandant. In an example of spot-on analysis of his audience as a bunch of retards, he said: "The American soldier is armed. That's why they're called the armed forces. If you're going to portray it any other way, you miss the point."

Wow. 11 yo Mexican girl has sex with her stepfather and gets pregnant. But even more noteworthy is how she plans to keep the baby and not kill it. Abortionettes, naturally, are apoplectic at the prospect.

GMU econ professor demonstrates empirically what we already intuitively know: Lefties are economic morons. HT: Ulysses.

Vanity Fair's Sebastian Junger (of Perfect Storm fame) invokes the "Dunbar Number", or the natural limit of a man's loyalty, in a discussion of how masculine love invokes itself under the extreme survival pressure of warfare. Seems that the sizes of platoon (35 men) and company (150 men) are neither random nor arbitrary and, even more interestingly, occur in these sizes throughout antiquity, be they the natural upper limits of bands and tribes or Roman armies

Alternative Right provides us an illustration of how Anglo culture is a parody of itself, and how the Russians, while crude, represent the wisest response to an age-old phenomenon by far. You hafta admire the Russkies for their direct, no-b-s attitudes.

This is an example of how socons are sometimes just as much a threat to liberty as fembot liberals.

Good news about that sperm and egg from stem cells. I mean given the severe global shortage of the real things, the human race can now take itself off the endagered species list.

Just one more step towards helping Christopher Reeves walk again.

The black bear link is just what I needed to read with the black bear that has been spotted hanging out close to our neighborhood. :P I'll be extra sure to stay away from the alligator, black bears, and rabid foxes that have been making news around here now. haha.

The rickets article is interesting. I have a DVD about grain milling from a homeschool conference that speculates rickets and other nutritional deficiencies may be caused by the refined flours and grains that most people daily. The refining processes strip the grains of nutritious oils and the long time spent on the shelf spoils the grain further.

Hestia,
If you feel the rabid foxes, black bears, and alligators, they will be satisfied and leave you alone. They are only violent because of generational poverty and racism.

Professor Hale said...

change "feel" to "feed". Though it kind of works both ways.

Hestia said...

Should I also go to their territory to understand their plight? They all just have a bad rap because of the mean biased culture, right?

Good for the Russians. The only thing better would have been for them to have dumped the pirates in the water with a ton of chum made from pigs.

Re: Publik Skool Drool #1
Most of those 60% of parents who believe their kids' textbooks care more about political correctness than accuracy will still go on believing that "diversity is our strength."

Re: Publik Skool Drool #2
This is what happens when the education system is dominated by liberal women for over a generation.
