without the policy that China had in place of one
child per family they'd have many millions more to
feed. please read up on history.
 
India is about to have a pretty rude awakening.

again, you really don't know your history.
i'm glad our country does have birth control and
abortions available for those who don't want more
children.

ISTR one of the Larry Niven 'Ringworld' Sci-Fi trilogy where the
childbearing permit went up in price exponentialy with successive progeny.
 
Most everyone could afford to have one child, but the second one cost
twice as much. Second kids became a sort of 'status symbol, thirds became
ostentatious displays of wealth.
 
As well as the child permit, one also had to post a major bond for
diapers, college, &c.

What is wrong with my history? China had lifted the ban. If it was so
good it would still be in effect. It also upset the natural balance as
females were often aborted. Yes, it may have prevented some births, but
if it worked well they would still have it.
 
India may be in for a rude awakening but historically, it did not work.
They paid men to have a vasectomy so all the old men had one to get the
money.
 
Having something available is far different than promoting or requiring
it. They are also relatively new in history. Roe v Wade was 1973 and
is still fiercely fought. Birth control other than condoms can be
difficult for young people. When I was younger, even condoms were a bit
of a hassle, you had to ask the pharmacist that had them out of sight.
Today you pick the ones you want off a rack in Walmart.
 
The US is not promoting birth control at all, doubt they will. If
anything, have a baby you cannot afford and we'll give you more money.

Women have been procuring abortions since time immemorial. Granted
they are easier to obtain (for the most part) and safer now than ever
before.

Back in the 1970s when I became sexually active, it was trivially easy
to get birth control pills, IUDs, diaphragms, etc., at least if you
had a little money. I got my first prescription for the pill from the
University of Michigan Student Health Service.

The U.S. Government, U.S. doctors, or what? Even MTV has advertising
for birth control.

In the 60s it was not like that, especially for unmarried women.

US Government. I think even the Catholic church is finally looking away
now and accepting reality.

there's a lot of older people who are completely spoiled
and unable to think of others. there are also a lot of
people who are fairly senile but they manage to get by but
that doesn't mean they are competent when it comes down to
figuring out risks and assessing what they need to do to
keep themselves and others safe.
 
all you can do is hope they stay away. unfortunately some
of us live with others so we can't quarantine as we'd like.
it's a farkin crap shoot. good luck.

Most American's would stare blankly in incomprehension. We call it a

That's tragic in so many ways. It's definitely bad judgement and how many
more did he go on to infect at public meetings?

A few weeks ago, I stated that they were just a bunch of
babies that can't deal with the real world so they all
ran off to the moderated facebook group.
 
Since then, and reading ALL posts here at Rfc usenet, I
take that back. These are people that want to talk about
food without all the constant bickering bullshit that
consumes over 90% of the posts here.
 
"This group is a haven for imbeciles," and I'm one
of them too.
 
Those folks there are not babies. They just eliminated
all the bs that goes on here. I will admit though that
much of the bs here is interesting to read and even
argue back about.
 
That's all I wanted to say - carry on. :)

Thanks Gary. It's appreciated.
I still read this group, but very little, simply because there's not as much real discussion as there is trading of insults. That gets really old really quickly.

Good for you. Yesterday seemed to be one of the worst ever with
personal attacks. Sad, really. Having a disagreement and debating can
be interesting and enlightening. Name calling, personal attacks and
just plain wrong. There are still a handful of interesting, fun, people
that post mostly on topic and I'm grateful for that.
 
Food and cooking. What we came here from orginaly, please don't let it
turn to a garbage pit.

Would be easy to bring it back to the old RFC by not replying to the
OT imbecile trolls.
 
Dinner last night was a scrumptious roasted on-bone pork loin with
roasted red skined spuds, plenty for tonight too.

IMO it isn't about the people but more about the whole concept of what
you give up to use FB :( I suddenly started receiving 'you should
see this on FB' emails and have never joined FB. In the end, the only
thing I can think is that somehow it connected my granddaughter with
the same name as me, with me and linked our addies. Intrusive in my
opinion.
 
Then again, yesterday I installed a new edition of Paint Shop Pro as I
saw a special. When it was all set up it congratulated me on
rejoining, told me I last joined in 2011, which would be about right
:(

At least once a month I receive email from FaceBook reminding me to
return... several years ago I tried to join FB but at that time the
admin didn't believe it was me so dumped my brand new account the next
day without emailing me so I could explain it was really me, I'll
never return to that FaggotBook.
 
Last night's dinner, plenty for tonight and the following night...
will likely be some slices for the freezer and then the bone for soup:

Hindsight is always 20-20.
Nobody here lived those times as an adult.
Decisions were made then that seemed the best
solution at the time. Easy for us to critisize now.

Wow, wow, wow. Things are more interesting like spending your time here
criticizing Americans. I bet everything you see has a brown haze from
being so full of shit.
 
Thanks for the laugh.

Smithsonian Channel has been running a lot of colorized film from the
Pacific and European wars. It is easy to sit at your computer today and
say what you think should have been done, but watching the reality is
very disturbing. This is footage of people made to dig a grave and
showing them shot and killed in place as they stood in it.
 
The arm chair generals are usually just speaking out of ignorance and
have never see real war, especially as it was fought in WWII. IMO, the
were The Greatest Generation.

It's a shame the ships didn't have the balls to get close enough to
show to drop them DD tanks instead of dumping them too far out and most
of them sank. Americans only accounted for half the force. The British
and Canadians reached their objective.

A lot of dogs are happy with just plain old dry dog food. It might not
hurt to add a little olive oil. My old Malinois was quite happy with
his food unadorned, but he had a salmon based chow made for dogs with
skin and digestive issue. He worked for both. He stopped shedding and
his dermatitis cleared up and his stools were nice and firm, which i a
good sign for dogs.
 
If you do change dog goods do so gradually. Get the new stuff while
there are still a few days worth of the old food and gradually add more
and more of the new food.
 
Sorry to say that if he is 10 years old he is not likely to be around
much longer. Big dogs don't life as long and life expectancy is 8-10
years.

Not too long ago, some non-usain commented that americans
smile too much. heh heh
 
Very funny to me because I know exactly where that came from
and it's a pet peeve of mine too. American commercials!
 
No matter what is advertised, we see people with full smiles,
showing all teeth and even gums. Many commercials show
people doing silly dances (with full smiles), no matter
what product is being advertised. No matter what, all
commercials show everyone with Cheshire Cat smiles.
 
That nonsense annoys me to no end.
In *real* american day to day life, it's very rare to see
that.
