  2. China's overpopulation issues by Smartcowboy · · Score: 0, Troll

    China have a huge population but now famillies are limited to 1 children. Chinesse prefer male child so there is a lack of female. If the plan of the autorities work, the chinesse population will drop very fast because the number of birth is proportional to the number of woman and the number of male have very few effect.

    But there may be some side-effects to this scenario:

    Do you think chinesse man will sit and say "Well, there is no girl available. Let's masturbate!"? Maybe some will do that. But they are more likely to search for female outside of china. In other asian countries, then in USA, EU, UK....

    Nobody know what will happens.... :S

  3. The SARS front by Clockwork000 · · Score: 0, Troll

    WHO just likes to pimp out drugs. The virus that supposedly caused SARS was never actually isolated. The amount of the "virus" is what usually determines how devistating the virus is. The amount of SARS was never measured in any patients because they didn't know what they were really looking for. Add to this the fact that a large portion of the people who died were elderly. Give an elderly person, with a weak immune system, some drugs...quarenteen em in a depressing place like a hospital....tell em they have a deadly virus. Even if they never had anything in the first place, the negative effects of the above is enough to kill a person. In the end, the OP works out for WHO. They make themselves look like saviors. What happens to the countries that go against WHO's agenda? They get called inhumane and denied future aid. So...the media makes a huge deal out of a variation of the flu, people run scared and buy worthless masks, and WHO is the hero!!! WHO is an organization run by ex and current Pharmaceutical stock holders. They pump out new and deadly diseases, and viruses. Then the drugs start flowing. Then the cash starts flowing. SARS is just another OP to make WHO look godlike. Period. 1. Create worldwide scare 2. Save the world with a cure 3. PROFIT!!
