Of course I understand where the well-founded mentality came from, but at an impressionable young age, I can't help but vividly remember the carnage that ensued. I'm actually a little ashamed I didn't do anything about it, in retrospect.

Actually, yes, it was widely reported that it was. Unfortunately. Quite a few parents didn't have a choice but wait until delivery. Many articles were published about the mothers endured.

This presumes that the more intelligent males will be at the forefront. Studies and history show that given a context with a lower ratio of women, the more violent males become more aggressive, resulting in war. Time will tell who wins out, the civilized or the aggressive.

How could this not be foreseen? As a young teen in the mid-80s, I recall many shocked discussions re: what we justifiably considered to be a horrible backward mentality, namely, the abortion of females justified by the one-child policy.

That's one fantastic pic above! Good article over at Tor.com, thanks.

Barney/Cage, I totally see it!

I had already watched the pilot online. I found it funny and I'll watch next week. Also, if I immigrate to Chicago from Quebec, would that make me an Eastern Canadian American?

I especially enjoyed the wall-clutching with outstretched hands, and the scanning of the bed prior to the ultimate collapse. Super fun!

Oh yeah, quite easy. Much more so than strapping on prosthetics or head gear, wtf...

"Beetlejuice - This classic cartoon ran from 1989 to 1992 with 4 seasons and 109 episodes. All of them perfect. " So, so true... Sigh, fun Saturday mornings. I also actually enjoyed the Alien Nation series.

Thank you! That little girl is not fat. Not skinny, not fat. Wow. I can't believe how many replies I had to scroll through. Someone had to have made this statement, out of 186 replies.
