Captain Capitalism calculates the ROI on a vasectomy. Sadly, he only bases the calculation on the costs of children but fails to take into account any benefits whatsoever, from societal to individual.
His comments are highly informative to the debate actually. Some commenters of like mind express their disdain for reproductive outcomes (though they clearly enjoy […]
I believe these teenage girls just wanted attention and needed to feel important — they succeeded. My suspicion is that the outrageousness of this event is just a mirror of the outrageous lack of attention or love these girls experience on a daily basis. There seems to be an odd naivety among adults […]
After last week’s stunning juxtaposition of the Prime Minister apologizing to Indian children who were sent to denomination-assisted government education facilities in which their human rights were terribly abused while a “human rights tribunal” essentially made a 2000 year-old religion illegal, and with this week’s news that the senate has now approved a bill which […]

Angelina Jolie is ticked off because Disney doesn’t have a black princess.
Busy creating a wonderful international family with children in every shade imaginable (an admirable task), I guess she has turned her concern with how to mould her children to looking blindly at the physical signs of genetic variation found in people from different areas […]
I am accusing the Burmese junta of ongoing genocide in the wake of cyclone Nargis. First, they deny immediate international aid which arrived at their doorstep, then they refuse to distribute the aid saying the local population does not need it. Now, they force survivors to go back to the ravaged region. […]
On the two sides of the Atlantic Ocean this past week the world was introduced to two different debates over the role that human rights play in our society. Over in Europe, the European Court of Human Rights has agreed to hear the case of a British woman who wants to adopt a 26-year […]
