They've already arrested a Norwegian for the attacks.
It seemed politically motivated, not religiously anyway.

[BizzarreCoyote]

According to the things we've seen the Norway Bomber have, it *is* religiously motivated. This time, however, it's a Radical Christian, not a Radical Islamist.

Not that religion particularly matters in a case like this. No one cares what you're doing it for, killing in the name of religion is ridiculous.

[Quel33]

I was watching a show, and it basically echoed a view of mine. It's not religion that does this, it's fanatics. Which makes me wonder if there's a thread on fanatics vs religion in the Think Tank...?

[Hguols]

There is a few people talking about this where I am locally. Some people think its a badger, but if you look at the face of a badger, and also how flat the body is, I don't think the body adds up. Just like the news reporter says, dogs don't have claws like that. Also, the earls look eerily.... human.

Some people are talking chupacabra.

This was an interesting bit of news, it was. Honestly that crocodile isn't small at all. The word small can only relate to that croc when he stands next to a moogle.

Spoiler

That's the fear among some parents and experts, after The New York Times reported a case in which a sperm donor may have fathered at least 150 children. This isn't the first such discovery - large clusters of these so-called "donor families" are cropping up on registry sites where parents search to see if their kid has donor half-siblings.

"My daughter knows her donor's number for this very reason," an unidentified mother of a teenager conceived via sperm donation in California, told the New York Times. "She's had crushes on boys who are donor children. It's become part of sex education," she said.

And incest isn't the only worry.

The revelations also raise fears that children from the same donor could share disease-causing genes that can spread through the population.

In July, ABC News reported 24 children of one donor were at risk for a potentially fatal hereditary heart defect. In August, the Daily Mail reported a donor with Asperger's syndrome fathered at least 22 children, some of which are already showing signs of autism.

How can a donor father so many kids? Some experts say the sperm donation industry needs tighter regulation.

"We have more rules that go into place when you buy a used car than when you buy sperm," Debora L. Spar, author of "The Baby Business: How Money, Science and Politics Drive the Commerce of Conception," told the Times.

England's Human Fertilisation Embryology Authority caps the number of kids from one sperm donor at 10. France and Sweden also have laws limiting sperm donation, according to the Times.

But here in the U.S., there's no defined law, only recommended guidelines. The American Society of Reproductive Medicine recommends restricting conceptions to 25 births per 800,000-person population.

Dr. Robert G. Brzyski, chairman of the society, told the Times it's time to reassess the industry's standards.

Previously, Brzyski said, decisions were based on estimates of unintended circumstances when brothers and sisters might meet and marry. "I think those models were very limited in their vision when they were created, he told the Times. Now I think there needs to be a reassessment of the criteria and the policies regarding the appropriate number of offspring."

Suprisingly, mainstream media is reporting on this.

RIP - Steve Jobs, you've brought wonders bringing the mac

I am grateful for what you have done, since I utilize what you have brought me as a artist, the adobe programs on a mac
Without the mac, I wouldn't know much about photoshop and my way to be a great artist

May Steve Jobs have a peaceful rest, or new life.


Boy he managed to survive with pancreatic cancer for a long time, outstanding.

I hear you have within a year to live, I think Steve Jobs went for almost three years...?

Don't quote me I'm going by third hand, blurry memories, I'm probably horribly inaccurate.


I do know he lasted far longer than is normal for someone with pancreatic caner...

That figures...


I wonder if every iconic figure in the future is going to have a religious mob protest at their funeral, and if they're religious themselves, an opposing religious mob, or techno grouper mob. :/

Respect the dead you morons.

[Faith]

How can they be so idiotic, going to a funeral just because Steve didn't give God glory, I mean, he IS dead, he is probably somewhere better who knows, but I doubt he'll be staying to hear some annoying group who lacks of attention demands.

But that's just how they work right, not wanting to hear people's opinions but forcing others to hear theirs, even in funerals.

Anyways, R.I.P. Steve, I heard his last speech, to be honest I didn't know much about him until someone told me he had cancer, his story is very inspiring.
