GOod points, 'adriel'
It makes you wonder whether young men will reach for the ibuprofen just to 'benefit' from it's added bonus of preventing births.
Japan is confronting exactly what you point out about becoming extinct. Their public broadcaster, NHK, regularly has news stories about the labor shortage, and the growing aging population, with no one but robots to take care of them. They even showed heavy construction equipment-road graders, bulldozers, operated by remote control. The main issue is that they do not allow immigration.
They also have regular stories about the survivors of the Hiroshima or Nagasaki atomic bombs, all in the name of preventing any future attacks. What this will do for the North Korean dictator is beyond anyone's belief, since he doesn't care what those survivors say.
There would be even fewer Japanese today if those 2 bombs were not launched, and the Allied forces would have had to launch ground attacks in Japan. Their government had already indoctrinated their people to fight, and US soldiers who fought in Okinawa can tell you about them. Imagine them being killed; how many Japanese would be living today? |

I did see that the Japanese public broadcast service, NHK, played up the UN resolution condemning the move, with Japan voting in favor of the resolution. Only after a few minutes into their story did they admit that it is non-binding. They also did not mention the fact the the US Congress had passed a law in 1995 to make the move to Jerusalem, but that US presidents had granted a waiver every six months. So, in reality, all that President Trump did was to end the waiver.
NHK also played up the protests in Israel, and rarely played up Israels prime minister supporting the move. Instead, they had their experts tell how this was only going to cause more Mideast tension.
In other words, don't stand up for the right thing because bad people will go crazy and hurt innocent people. I think they miss the point that the function of governments is to protect us from bad people (even the Bible says, that govt. bears a sword for a reason). |

I think I saw a PBS program about the flu epidemic of 1918, that killed hundreds of thousands in the US.
So it's been over a hundred years, and they say whatever California starts, the rest of the country eventually catches, like skateboarding, surfing, little old ladies in tennis shoes, etc.
I wonder if Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses, Seventh Day Adventists, and Masons get the flu vaccination? |

From what I read on the web, Germany was the first country to adopt daylight savings time, and it was during World War One, to save money for the war effort. Other countries noticed this and decided to follow suit.Recently, some counties in Indiana switched from not observing DST to observing it, and some university professors decided to study how much money was saved. Result: not much. Sure, people may not turn on lights as soon at night, but before they are waking up earlier, in the dark for many, lights have to be turned on, and energy usage doesn't change. This study was done before the advent of those new, more efficient LED and CFL light bulbs, so the energy saved on lighting is much less significant, I think.
There are medical studies showing more strokes occur in the first 2 weeks after DST, so in a way, we could call it CET, 'cull the elderly time' just as snowy winters kill some people with strokes from shoveling it off their sidewalks.
Arizona does not follow DST because they say it is so hot that they don't want to have the 'extra' hour of that burning sun and heat! Yet they still get the same 12 hours or so that everyone else gets, just at an earlier time.
I know Mexico follows our old system, so for the next 3 weeks or so there is a discrepancy. |

That's a very good 'vow' but the problem is your vote in any election will be wiped out by the Democrat Party that fights any attempt to clear the voting rolls of dead people, duplicate addresses, etc. And then, in states that allow early voting or have lax rules on absentee ballots, the doors are wide open for voter fraud.
When you consider these facts, your heart felt 'vow' is like a small voice crying out in the wilderness.
Better to write letters to the editor of your local newspaper or join other groups that support your views, though again, keep in mind your vote is subject to all that fraud.
And then, consider how many who may hold your view who will not vote because the candidate colors his hair, wears a toupe, has a beard, etc. |

That their study showed most people were unaware of the videos shows the power of the left-leaning mainstream media. Talk radio may been dominated by conservatives, but it is still much smaller than the audience watching the network weekly news programs. And that is an audience that considers itself, 'very well informed' and that may be true, if you consider that few people even join them. And then even fewer read newspapers--it's almost a sign of your age that if you do subscribe to the newspaper, you are over 50. Local newspapers may have some conservative viewpoints, but I think even they are in the hands of editors that are liberal.
The real question is how do people find out what is going on in the country today? You could break that down by age group, so for the over 50 group, the newspaper and the nightly news broadcasts make up the source.
For people under 30, maybe social media make up the source, or the Internet. |

I listened to the rally where the term came up from the audience, and Trump simply repeated it. On one hand, it is strange that the press picked up on this, when they have defended former President of Sleaze Himself--Bill Clinton--and his many adulterous acts which any self-respecting wife would have found grounds for a divorce in a second. (Yet we hear that this same wife--who we know has 'stuck to her man' in order to keep that name recognition for use in a political campaign--is supposed to be respected as the Smartest Woman in the Room! If she was so smart and wonderful, why didn't she divorce Bill and get her own political life together?
By the way, didn't "Slick Willy" joke about Obama that he would have been serving Bill and his friends coffee in the country club years ago? Yet the mainstream press forgets that. I guess it helps to have your former press secretary George Stephanopolus at ABC.
Profanity: didn't LBJ use a lot of it, yet he was considered to be great, too?
I guess it all depends on whose side you are on.
I think many people who have never voted before, will see this Trump incident as another reason to support him---he's a real guy, not so worried about being 'politically correct" |

Somehow, I am not surprised that they would support the Jewish candidate. I've heard that a third of Jewish Americans do not believe in God. That sounds unbelievable, but surveys have show it to be true. They might keep some Jewish customs but only as cultural customs, like Americans eating turkey and dressing on Thanksgiving Day, or having a parade on the 4th of July.And then there is that old joke, if you have 3 Jews in a room, and ask them a question, you will get 4 answers.
Contrary to what many Christians think, they do not support the modern state of Israel, which by the way, is a very politically liberal state.
Some of the secular Jews got tired of the automatic exemption that the Orthodox Jews had from compulsory military service, so they changed the law. It caused a big firestorm, but I think it went through since the Orthodox Jews make up such a small portion of the population. And not only are they exempt from military service, but the govt. pays for their 'religious studies' where they memorize the Torah and pray, and then raise large families. The majority secular Jews (and any Christians living there) must have asked, Why do we have to pay for this when we don't agree with their beliefs! |
