I have been looking for specific data, I see from world census data that male infant mortality is ~20% higher than female, but I have not yet found a reliable source either way on actual birth rates before the advent of legalized abortion for the US. I know my old biology books (OK, clay tablets in Cuneiform) say that female birth rates are higher than males precisely for the reason I mentioned, genetic fragility, but it is not like they cited the sources well anyway. As for Wikipedia, heh I prefer secondary sources and historical fact.
Actually it is the other way around, males are genetically more fragile and so more girls are born under normal circumstances than boys. This is also why male infant mortality from natural causes is higher.
[begin massive sarcasm]All these orphans are unwanted why not just perform REALLY late term abortions on them? Nothing magical happens by traveling down a vagina. The NY Times reported in 2007 some 32% of children never traveled down one, they were delivered via cesarian. Since they are not old enough to survive on their own (hence the need for fostering/ adoption) save us all some money and just pop a 22 round in them, or use them for science experiments instead of the poor bunnies and chimps which are getting rights anyways. Even better train the older ones as suicide bombers or assassins or heck if you want to be nice and keep them around anyway let them be useful just reinstitute slavery.[/end massive sarsasm]
My grandparents were foster parents, adopted 1 (in addition their their natural 3) and tried to adopt a 2nd, courts would not let them despite the fact that they were more than capable of taking care of another child (their 2 oldest were already off at college). While Granddad may not have been uber wealthy money wise he did have 160 acres including farmland and livestock plus he was a mail carrier, barber, welder and volunteer fireman.
Dangit, it ripped my pseudocode sarcasm tags off the first paragraph. There, it is corrected now Oh well, I am going to get marked flaimbait or over rated or something anyways.

Physical degenerates: yes, moral degenerates: no. Remember a few days (weeks) where it was pointed out that people were using ultrasounds to select for gender and so for the first time ever more boys were being born than girls?
Besides we have already sen what the eugenics wars will bring us... KHANNNNNNNNNNNN!
Sorry to burst your math deficient bubble but spending more than you bring in is what causes a deficit. Social Security still brings in more money than it costs: for example in 2009 Social Security brought in 807 billion and paid out 686 billion. This leaves medicare/medicaid and defense. Medicare costs approximately 3x what it brings in per individual. This means payroll taxes need to increase, benefits need to decrease, waste needs to be cut or some combination of the aforementioned 3. Bring the spending below the income and no deficit again. Without going into defense and medicaid, let me also state that raising taxes $1 does not bring in $1 in taxes and that you make the very faulty assumption that tax policy immediately affects revenue and GDP.
FTA:Northrop Grumman will have to perfect the UAS’ flight for it to survive in that challenging environment. In the next two years its expected that the X-47B will expand its flight capabilities, and begin testing mid-air refueling as it prepares for real world carrier tests in 2013.
Pocketbooks ereader is 7" so that limitation must be a thing of the past. I have a rooted nookcolor and a modbook(waste of money) now that will keep me busy for a bit. If adam lives up to the hype, well I have the cash already set aside for it but not till Android 3 is on it and the kinks are worked out. I stopped reading Rohan's blog a couple of weeks ago have you seen anything to lead you to infer that the UI will be customizable? Because, quite frankly what drove me away was the UI being so proprietary and the 3 panel implementation.
I agree the hardware is nice. It will be interesting to see just what it takes to get a generic install on it and what functionality is lost in doing so.
Till they started with the massive customization of the UI (named eve). So much so that it now seems kludgy. Now I am waiting on a Mirasol product instead.
Sigh, a 51% vote is typically needed in a republic as well and yet a swing of 12% is much more significant than a swing of 1-2% if you cannot understand even this then the rest of the conversation is useless and I am sorry that I have wasted both your time and mine, Good day.
Socrates was found guilty with a 56% vote (280 to 220) not 51% as you have claimed. Further, his death was his own choice. He was given the option of death or exile and he chose to kill himself.
You really need to start getting your historical facts straight and stop twisting them so.
Why? Regardless of ones particular viewpoint most theology is lies. The religious person only believes their own theology to be correct the rest are lies, the atheist believes all theology to be lies and the comparative theologian is often times just trying to compare the lies.
In this particular case the law is working as intended. This judge has not stated if the child is negligent, guilty or anything of that nature. Instead they simply ruled on the current law which states that in their district of operation no child under the age of 4 may be sued. The suit may proceed as to determine liability, damages etc. and that is all the judge was ruling on.
I lived in a small hatch back for over a year. If your vehicle it is mobile, Walmart parking lots typically allow for over night parking, this is why you see so many campers parked in them. I was in Texas at the time and it is completely legal to park and sleep on the side of any interstate or Texas highway in Texas. In my case, I slept in the parking lot of Tarrant County Community College's south campus for half of the time. The first night I was there I flagged down a security officer and explained the situation. They routinely checked up on me but never after 9pm or before 6am
In regard to "rights" I refer the reader to a quote from RAH: "Ah, yes, the 'unalienable rights.' Each year someone quotes that magnificent poetry. Life? What 'right' to life has a man who is drowning in the Pacific? The ocean will not hearken to his cries. What 'right' to life has a man who must die if he is to save his children? If he chooses to save his own life, does he do so as a matter of 'right'? If two men are starving and cannibalism is the only alternative to death, which man's right is 'unalienable'? And is it 'right'? As to liberty, the heroes who signed that great document pledged themselves to buy liberty with their lives. Liberty is always unalienable; it must be redeemed regularly with the blood of patriots or it is always vanquished. Of all the so-called 'natural human rights' that have ever been invented, liberty is least likely to be cheap and is never free of cost.
The noblest fate that a man can endure is to place his own mortal body between his loved home and the war's desolation.
Of course, the Marxian definition of value is ridiculous. All the work one cares to add willl not turn a mud pie into an apple tart; it remains a mud pie, value zero. By corollary, unskillful work can easily subtract value; an untalented cook can turn wholesome dough and fresh green apples, valuable already, into an inedible mess, value zero. Conversely, a great chef can fashion of those same materials a confection of greater value than a commonplace apple tart, with no more effort than an ordinary cook uses to prepare an ordinary sweet. These kitchen illustrations demolish the Marxian theory of value - the fallacy from which the entire magnificent fraud of communism derives - and to illustrate the truth of the common-sense defintion as measured in terms of use.
I told you that juvenile delinquent is a contradiction in terms. Delinquent means failing in duty. But duty is an adult virtue - indeed a juvenile becomes an adult when, and only when, he acquires a knowledge of duty and embraces it as dearer than the self-love he was born with. There never was, there cannot be, a juvenile delinquent.
California Is not trying to be efficient, they suffer from NIMBY (Not in my back yard) syndrome.
There is this amazing things called taking responsibility for one's own actions. I suppose that message is lost on most people today especially of the current generation.
To those people who cannot think: try taking you painful attempts at reductio ad absurd somewhere else.
The problem is not in California, it is in Oregon. The demand is in California, but they cannot get the supply out of Oregon.
Sounds to me like a large part of the problem is that Californians are using more than they produce. That in itself is a problem, in fact is the heart of the problem. Californians need to produce more power locally, use less or find a balance of the two.
The same thing goes with California's other budget issue - fiscal-
sigh, yet another person who read the summary but not both articles where it explicitly states that material was used to create 80 embryos.
FTFA: "The Newcastle team created a total of 80 embryos. These were cultured for up to eight days in the laboratory under the terms of a licence granted by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA)." After which they were destroyed as per British law.

No, one year does not give anything other than anecdotal evidence. Don't worry I will keep digging through census data as I have time.

I think you might want to look at the definition of exaggerating: take a look here for a start http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/exaggerating. As to commodore64_love twisting facts, well you should look well at the volume of his posts and discern wether or not he does in fact routinely twist facts. Also you might want to consider the history of the issue. I suggest reading the trial of socratese http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/socrates/socrates.HTM .

Not that I would know, holding 6 GCSEs 1 O level 1 A/S level 4 A levels and 2 S levels or anything.
Quiz: Since I hold both an O Level and several GCSEs when was I in school.
