'Why South Africa Sucks' Blog taken down.



One of the main blogs chronicling the decline of South Africa, from unparalleled levels of violent crime against non-blacks (though the blog, being run by white guys, concentrated only on crimes committed against whites, not Indians or coloureds), to the daily power failures by the Electricity company Eskom after BEE (Black-Economic-Empowerment) took hold and much much more that gave a grounds eye view of HBD, forbidden news and horrific crimes and corruption - has been removed from blogger for 'racist content'.

This was a years old blog with over 3,000 posts - collaboration between at least 5 people, and hundreds of hours of work - just gone. Hey guys, the truth can be racist at times! Get over it Google!

So much for the Internet being the samizdat of the west. The tentacles of liberals leave no stone unturned.

R.I.P.

Fathers, mothers, and kids.

Bryan Caplan:

In 1996, the GSS asked:

If the husband in a family wants children, but the wife decides that she does not want any children, is it all right for the wife to refuse to have children?

and

If the wife in a family wants children, but the husband decides that he does not want any children, is it all right for the husband to refuse to have children?

Survey says: 82% affirmed the wife's right to refuse, but only 61% affirmed the same right for husbands. Other than a simple men's rights story, anyone got an explanation?

P.S. Men and women are almost equally likely to hold this double standard. 83% of men (versus 81% of women) affirm women's right to refuse; 60% of men (versus 61% of women) affirm men's right to refuse.


While the question is fascinating in its own right, what popped into my mind was - what if the question was modified to:-

If the husband in a family wants more children, but the wife decides that she does not want any more children, is it all right for the wife to refuse to have children?

and

If the wife in a family wants more children, but the husband decides that he does not want any more children, is it all right for the husband to refuse to have children?

I wonder how the statistics would change...
