Armed anti-paedophile cops swoop on video site uploader

Darn Russian Circus Families!

It's all Russia's fault.

Hustler demands to know Who’s Nailin’ Paylin?

Damn us...

As an American I find this frustrating and embarrassing. The current election cycle is showing how terribly racist and sexist America still is.

Cops cuff anti-drug ninja vigilantes

...It's what's for Dinner

Sounds like some boys were looking to get sliced, diced, and served (to pit bulls). Lucky for them the cops caught 'em.

Doctors: Third babies are the same as patio heaters

Population control is within the realm of medicine, thank you very much.

It's called upstream thinking, and like it or not population control is in the realm of public health, which includes mainstream medicine. A healthy environment is necessary for the health of people and overpopulation is a serious threat to human health. Whether it means using more chemicals to produce foods, meeting the ever growing demand for technology, or increasing carbon emissions related to transportation of goods and people, the total population of the earth (especially amongst the relatively wealthy) has a dramatic effect on everyone's health. It is just another way of approaching the greatest problems of our time (global warming, environmental toxins, emerging diseases). I have every bit of faith that we will overcome our current situation through advances in technology, but it will also require critical thinking about how to address problems on the fly and being adaptive to changing demands. Anything related to reproduction is, rightfully, a slippery slope. But I do not see a problem with providing recommendations and offering sound knowledge for people to use for informed decision making. To me the idea of having any more that 2 kids is absurd for nothing more than practical purposes, but everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion.
