Houie,
Seeing that you seemed to think Belly was referring to abortions and not infanticide of the 7 million girls in India, I went looking for a BBC article and found this, below, which may be the article Belly referred to.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7123753.stm

You will note that this article states that an estimated 7 million girls have gone 'missing' in the past 25 years. Also that getting rid of baby girls (infanticide) is widespread in India.

Now I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the BBC but it does appear that Belly was quoting correctly. Abortions are another subject.

Perhaps you should read his first 2 posts again and also your first post as you seem to have not got the gist of what he said and he did not mention blaming males.

Also He did not say we should stop trading with India. He cited India might be offended as a reason that our media did not carry these sorts of stories.

Yeah but after that he has continuously held the line that he believes they were mostly infanticide.

'7 Million female children killed in India? truth is more , many many more.'
'surely we understand few can pay for ultra sound,'
'Does it make it better if those girl children are MURDERED by a woman.'
'my concern at the murder '

I think his position is pretty clear. He believes the vast majority is infanticide, and I have shown a study where they believe the vast majority is abortion.

I've given plenty of opportunity for Belly to clarify his position about a solution, but he has ignored me or said he has none. It would actually make for a more interesting discussion if he would bother to try to come up with one. Or is the purpose of the topic for him to grandstand his social conscience. I believe so, so I accepted the invitation to challenge this.

Anyway, it seems Belly has gone off on a tangent about Korea now, so I don't think you can fairly admonish me for getting of the point.

Just read your link Banjo. What are you on about....

'An estimated seven million girls have gone missing from India's population over the last 25 years.

Some of them will have been killed after they were born, or allowed to die within their first few days. But most of them will have been aborted. '

*25* years, and 'most of them will have been aborted'

Houlie do not make it up as you go along.
I never spoke about any action against India.
I see no reason to highlight abortion from after birth murders IF the reason is the sex of the child.
Do you.
I answered Poirot, in aside about north Korea.
See I value every human life, and stand against slavery.
I am b%ggered if I know why you think we are better for ignoring these issues.
Is it guilt?
And while India is the subject many other country's could be.
Some one gave a figure of 17.000 in a 100,000 less females born every year, maybe in China, unsure, but what impact will that have in 25 years?

Houel:”I know a few who constantly lament that they are invisible to white chicks. I did once know some Greek guys who would only date Greek girls. But they are scared of their mothers I think.”

Well they need to man the hell up. I went out with an Asian dude as a teen, lovely guy so it was a shame I got expelled and had to leave town.

“I struggle to contemplate a life with no excess, and I think excess is the essence of life.”

Yep but you might be excessively wrong.

“I have a friend and her teenaged daughter is a responsible nerdy conscientious impeccably polite sensible communicative young lady, and I'm constantly worried there is something wrong with her. I hope mine don't turn out like that.”

I’m the same and I worry about consistently calm people like I would a ticking bomb.

So anyways, gender specific abortions or baby girls killed days later or sold into the sex industry a few years later. What a wonderful world.

“But you go about your business, worrying about things you have no control over, enjoying the warmth of the kudos for your ostentatious social conscience, while I'm over here enjoying my life.”

Hmm... umm... alrighty Houel take it easy, enjoy your kids. Have a good weekend. Stop worrying about the poor downtrodden menfolk everywhere.

Belly you raised 10 kids yeah? Amazing stuff, hope you have a great weekend and thanks for keeping people thinking about the kids out there.

'Stop worrying about the poor downtrodden menfolk everywhere'

Meh. Men, women, swings, roundabouts. I'll take the swings 'cause I'm used to them, I just continue to be fascinated by the constant whinging about roundabouts.

'keeping people thinking about the kids out there.'
What does this thinking achieve Jewls? Make you a bit grumpy so you don't enjoy the time with your own? Sounds pretty silly to me.
