Ultrasound As a Male Contraceptive
TeslaBoy writes "The BBC has an article about using ultrasound aimed at the testicles as a reversible male contraceptive. This can last for six months. With a grant of $100,000 from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, researchers at the University of North Carolina will push ahead with more clinical trials, fine tuning, and safety tests."
Little known fact: for about the last 10 years there's been implants available that completely eliminate the female menstrual cycle. This is completely reversible and requires no surgery (the implant is just injected in the arm). So every time you have to put up with a woman with PMT, understand that you are enduring it because they're either ignorant or negligent.
How we know is more important than what we know.
Of course, the Catholic Church would be up in arms about this,
huh? I'm pretty sure just about everyone would be up in arms about mass sterilization.. I mean, if you're not going to defend your right to breed they you probably shouldn't even bother arming yourself.
BTW, I hope you fucking die fascist.

I get modded down as overrated and this doesn't even get troll or flamebait? I'd sigh dramatically and state how I've lost faith in /. moderators, but that would indicate that I had faith in them to begin with.
Been here too long to have any faith in them.
Or to respond directly to such obvious trolling/flamebaitery.
"There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death." Proverbs 16:25 (NKJV)
Obviously *I* don't. But frankly, there isn't a man alive who understands or appreciates female PMT and the fact that there are *numerous* treatments available for this condition, *some* of which are effective at eliminating the condition completely, and women choose not to take them is, I think, more than sufficient reason for us to be disgusted, just as women are towards men who refuse to use deodorant, or as the majority of us are towards the mentally ill who refuse to stay on their meds.
The human condition is flawed and can be improved. Each of us has a responsibility to the rest of society to do what we can to make it a little more pleasant to be around each other, or risk being ostracized.

There's none more irrationally angry than one who's repressed his guilt.
