Damn, need some new friends x).

Huh. Well today I learned that I have a long-lost cousin who was put up for adoption a long time ago. Neither I nor any of my other cousins knew about her until one of them met her at University.
This is gonna be some soap opera shit.
What? Just go by yourself. You don't need your friends to enjoy a concert.Originally Posted by Chiodos

Baby with two faces born, worshiped in India
Wasn't India where the kid with the tail was born? I love how they keep producing these mutated children and then pretending like it's a divine miracle. Poor kids.

I heard a theory about this today.
Population of the US (3rd most populous nation in the world): 303 Million
Population of Europe: 728 Million (as of 2005).
Population of India: 1.6 Billion
Population of the world: 6.6 billion.
That's one quarter of the world's population in a country a little less than 1/3 the size of Europe, and 1/3 of the United States (for the western hemisphere-rs like me).
With such a large slice of the world's people crammed into so small a space, it's very likely that random mutations will occur there. In fact, here's another one!

It's really more of a disproportionate representation. Do things like this happen in the United States or in Europe? Sure. But less often, because when combined, India still has a larger population.
India is just over 1 billion in population. Currently China is the most populous people in the world. India is projected to be at 1.6 billion by 2050, which is what you get when you have no birth control and a lot of bored, poor people. China at least has communist rule limiting child birth to 1 per adult (2 per couple).

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
Good god, they didn't notice until she was 5?

I talked to an Indian guy from Princeton the other day, and he said for the most part people in India are aware about the population problem, thus creating cultural traditions to try to keep the place more sanitary (even small things like changing shoes in the bathroom, or when going to school, showering often)

That picture looks so fake... It's like bagandscalpel's avatar.
India does have a four faced deity. Combine that with poor education and high religious influence, that guy's half a god to them.
People are getting their way around that by coming to Hong Kong when their baby's due. If it's born in HK, it doesn't count, and it can have education there as well, if they wish to. There was much public debate a while ago, since these women didn't pay medical fees or something, and it was all coming out of the HK public health fund. They changed some legalities, but I don't know the details.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
The worshiping of mutated children is religiously driven. Hindu mythology is quite weird. The reason why the rural population is increasing so fast is because more kids = more farmhands.
I'd say around 90% of the Chinese population don't have the money and/or connections to do that.
I think all countries should have a 1 child per adult rule.

I second that, except for the Japanese. The world could use more Japanese. Oh, and hot chicks can have up to 5.

The 1 child policy is the stupidest thing ever. China has set itself up for a massive social and demographic fall. Given the preference for boys, I think there are already like 20 million more boys in China than there are girls (can't remember the source). Even if there wasn't this gender imbalance, the workforce of China will shrink forcibly, causing a higher tax burden on the future generations as less youngsters have to support more older people.
i think so too... and it should be also not allowed to have NO children once you reach a certain age or so, this would help a lot in most european countries.. schools have less and less pupils each year.
well this would require the help of the goverment though.
because having children means MONEY for the country (i admitt that too many children have the opposite effect)
The source of that information can usually be found in geography books.
Although it is very unlikley, heard a rumor that they used to give away/abandon or even kill the baby if it turned out to be a girl.

I'm going to ruin this deep philosophical mood with some blatant superficiality here.
Today, I learned that glow in the dark yarn exists. I must have it! If only I wasn't so poor *cries* Imagine the awesomeness of secret messages or symbols knitted into garments that only become visible when the lights are turned out.
That is some amazing stuff, right there. I must have. I want to watch my cats play with it after dark. (Is it just me, or did that sound perverted right there?)
Now 99% disease free!
Only if cats is a euphemism.
Kat: That is awesome.

Today I learned, yet again, that complete thoughts are hard to keep concise. And also that the group I'm working in has a serious lack of rapport with some of our userbase, that it's going to take a long time to address.
