67% of Russia is permafrost. I doubt Chinese could build any factory there.

" = Chinese annexing some Russian land."

According to a Chinese professor I had in college much of that land was originally part of China. Should be interesting.

You both had me worried, because I didn’t remember any such comment.

Now I see that I posted in 2003.

Most of the Ethiopians I have met were Coptics, while the Eritreans were Muslim.

Or is that the other way around?

Its hard to keep up without a scorecard.

lol! I had no idea I was commenting on something from 2003. That’ll teach me to pay attention!

Eritrea is about half Christian (same church as Ethiopia) & half Muslim, so I suppose the odds are that you met Eritrean Muslims.

Steyn recommends: "Next time you're in a rundown diner and the 17-year-old waitress is eight months pregnant, don't tut "What a tragedy" and point her to the nearest Planned Parenthood clinic. Leave her a large tip instead.

Steyn is an idiot. Someone with no proper means of supporting herself (the image that comes to mind is a greasy spoon, not l'Maison Ritz) has no business having kids -- and if she is, I'm almost certainly having my pocket picked already to pay for it, and can only compensate a bit by leaving no tip at all.

The failure to get a job sufficient to support herself and an infant is the bad behavior that should not be rewarded.

Statistically, the girl who gets pregnant out of wedlock at 17 is likely to have, lifetime, only one or two children. It's better that she doesn't abort, but far better if she waits until she's 24 and then enters a stable, happy marriage.

Better than congratulating the waitress, how about thanking the 30-40 year old harried, married mother with 3 or 4 or 5 kids in tow at the supermarket for her generosity with life?

People with large families run into a fair amount of "tut-tut" disparagement and disapproval ... even from those who have no business expressing such, like their superiors at work.

“The failure to get a job sufficient to support herself and an infant is the bad behavior that should not be rewarded.”

The failure of the father of the child to get a job to support his ersatz wife and child is the bad behavior that should not be rewarded.

According to Dr Paul Erlich depopulation would be a good thing.

Dr Paul Ehrlich has been so very wrong about so very much -- for going on forty years now.

Ain't it amazin' what people will say and do to get their names in the paper?
