I know an Apostolic woman who is currently teaching in China. She is a strong advocate of fair trade and human rights. Not everyone believes exactly like you ferdie boy. And it only demonstrates your uncouth nature when you stoop below your Christian moorings to be so insulting.



Don’t be stupid. The numbers come from the Center for Children's Health and the Environment
Mount Sinai School of Medicine.



Keep Sis. Meeks (our sister in China) in prayer. That would be much more appreciated than your sarcasm.



Not everyone voted in favor of that measure, nor does everyone agree with the idea. You’re painting with too broad a brush ferdie boy.



We agree here. It’s obvious that we should invest in more efficient fuel technologies. And those who are advocates of fair trade are speaking out together with conservatives that the ethanol effort failed with unintended results. But it’s also important to note that the cost of fuel on the global market is driving up food prices well beyond what many can afford throughout the world. We need to focus on alternative fuel technologies and make the use of crude a thing for the history books.

You and Chris, know someone that fits every single scenario. its amazing.

Fair trade advocates have denounced China’s one child policy since 1993 ferdie boy. Forcing a woman to have an abortion is a violation of human rights worse than rape.



As an advocate of fair trade I have to say that’s very upsetting. I disagree, I don’t like abortion. I’m crying out against China’s policy, you’re defending our policies that sanction their forced abortion policy. I think YOU like abortion…if you can save a dollar at your local Wal-Mart.



Evidently you’re incapable of being civil. You don’t have to join their cause, but you can acknowledge that some of us are working to make changes from the other side are brothers and sisters entitled to some respect instead of calling us baby killers and the like.



If we’re not careful? China needs to be careful.

I was reflecting on a post above. Do you think the earthquake may have been a judgment from God seeing that it’s generated a groundswell of outcry against their one child policy?

Whoa, whoa, good grief. BE NICE. Stop with the name calling please.
