what's the connection between having fewer children and feminism?

Is that a serious question? I can answer it if you like but I hesitate to insult anyone's intelligence.

No, do enlighten me.
I thought there were plenty of varied reasons for women having fewer children, I wasn't aware it all boiled down to 'being a feminist'

No, I don't think I'll bother. I don't feel like an argument tonight.

Women! Know your place!

FFS. :roll:

Personally I don't have or want children. This is not because I'm obsessively pursuing my career but simply because I, er, don't want them. This also, incidentally, does not mean I hate parents, children or babies as some people seem to assume.

I believe this:

Is the key point. The Mail are inferring a specific link being a woman who wants a career (because they don't mention any other specific reason for wanting fewer/no kids) with an increased risk of cancer.

Let's keep this one in mind when they report that dust causes cancer,

As a slob, I certainly hope it doesn't. But even if it did I wouldn't be arsed to do anything about it.

Lord Brett · **Posted:** Fri Jul 23, 2010 3:25 pm

Whoever finds a cure for cancer-causing dust will clean up!

Apparently the 'Face on Mars' isn't a face at all, it's a hill. No shit.

Some surprisingly level headed comments mostly taking the mick out of the wingnuts who believe this sort of thing, but talking of wingnuts...

If you check out the European space agency Mars express photos and look for (Crater Hale in perspective, looking west) Your will see Mar bases there, I use the latest Photoshop version to examine this in detail and they are there. You have zoom in, and carry out a few minor adjustments to clear up the pictures, Use Photoshop and strip some lighting filters out, also reduce brightness. I have studied this from various other angles and shots taken and it's no camera problem or light trick. Aliens are their! This is only done to distract you from the truth, it's propaganda to dissuade acceptance.

Nine people agree with him. Nine! I have a good mind to find out who they are and push them off a cliff (preferably on Mars)

Read "The Mars mystery" by Dr Graham Hancock. There are compelling arguments for a NASA cover up. The geometric designs of the nearby pyramids cannot be a coincidence - scientific analysis has all but proved that. The comparison between the Giza pyramids and those on Mars are extraordinary, and people should open their minds to new possibilities. We are still learning about our universe, and the new discoveries are beyond the imagination of scientists just 50 years ago.

At least only one person agrees with Chris, and it's probably Chris himself. Someone else points out Graham Hancock's degree (not doctorate, he doesn't have one) is in sociology :lol:

I wouldn't take anything that NASA says literally..they've been covering up and airbrushing photos for decades. This is no conspiracy theory but proven fact.

Really? Where is this proven apart from Youtube comments and mentalist websites? Yes, NASA do enhance images taken with long range telescopes so the public can better see what's in them but they don't change what's in them...or have They got to me too???

Did you not all know that Aliens have been using Glen Campbell's chin dimple as a Stargate to our world for years. Some have stayed and got senior postions as Stock Control Managers in major supermarkets. They then clear the shelves of certian items, usually the things you want but can not find. They then return to their own Planet to open their own Post Offices. Mark my words, it is happening, Elvis told me so.

A Doctor Writes - an article about various things that have been suggested as causes of breast cancer, in which she assesses whether the true risk from each is high or low. Or at least a journalist writes it and the doctor, who is employed as " health information manager with Cancer Research UK", gives her opinions.

This piece is then followed by 66 comments from various members of the public, most of whom know MUCH better than the doctor who is employed by Cancer Research UK. How Daily Mail of them. So I'm off to burn all my bras, throw away my mobile phone, stop drinking milk and in fact eschew all dairy products, and OF COURSE refuse mammograms, because they cause breast cancer. Oh yes. And BTW abortions apparently cause breast cancer, which is exactly what I would have expected to be the case in Mailland.
