Valin Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Meanwhile in China... Abortion and Politics in China Evan Osnos 6/15/12 China convulsed this week around the story of Feng Jianmei, a twenty-three-year-old expectant mother, who was escorted from a relative’s home in Shaanxi province by local family-planning officials, shoved into a van, and driven to a hospital. She was blindfolded and given a document to sign. It didn’t matter that she couldn’t see it; she knew why she was there. She had violated the one-child policy. Two shots were injected into her belly, and on the morning of June 4th she gave birth to a stillborn baby girl. Afterward, while she lay on a metal-framed hospital bed, her sister took a devastating (*and, be warned, graphic) photo: mother, beside the bloodied remains of her daughter. It electrified the country. By Thursday night, the topic had attracted a million comments on Weibo, the Chinese Twitter, and rage was mounting. China’s family-planning system has been “openly killing people for years in the name of national policy,” a commenter wrote on Clubkdnet.net. “What is wrong with society?” Li Chengpeng, a widely followed commentator, wrote, “A seven-month baby can think already. I want to ask the murderer, how do you face your own mother when you go home? If this evil policy is not stopped, this country will have no humanity.” (Snip) * Not kidding! Go to the site if you must see....it's bad. H/T Althouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saveliberty Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 There is an elementary school girl in Scotland with the nickname of VEG: VEG My dad says I should call myself Veritas Ex Gustu, truth from tasting in Latin but who knows Latin? You can call me Veg. She has taken to blogging about her school lunches in an effort to raise money for a charitable organization that feeds children in Africa, Mary's Meals. She had set out to raise £7,000 and thus far has raised over £2,000. She was pulled out of class because she was forbidden to post pictures. This is because her blog made it to the newspapers. She will be blogging again, because the order has been reversed. Her blog is here. H/T Instapundit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valin Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Not Where They Hoped They'd Be Reuters recently assigned a number of photographers to capture images of a struggling generation. The result is this series of portraits of graduates from around the world who have been unable to find work in their degree fields and have ended up in poorly paid service industry jobs. Although their current positions may be disappointing, the subjects in these photos may count themselves lucky to have any job at all -- the International Labor Organization estimates the number of people aged 15 to 24 without a job at almost 75 million. From a cook in Athens with a degree in civil engineering to a waiter in Algiers with a masters in corporate finance, these young people have spent years studying hard to compete in the 21st century, only to discover that even the most desirable qualifications mean little in a distressed global economy. A thought popped into my mind when looking at these photos...Life is full of disappointments...this is one of them...Deal With it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
