That may very well be true, but Edmonton still isn't in the United States.

The (former) man who wanted and had his genitals removed, the doctor and staff who agreed to perform the surgery or the people who actually ate the cooked genitalia.

In any case...

You found it so disgusting that you are now vomiting blood? I would get that checked out, sounds like you have a serious medical condition.

Is it just me, or does our nose look like an AK-47?

Little-known fecal transplant cures woman's bacterial infection - CNN.com

It's actually an upbeat story about someone's life being saved, but the 12 year old in me can't help finding it sort of funny that they saved her life by stuffing her mom's poop up her butt.

A soldier trying to scare another soldier out of hiccups shot his comrade in the face, killing him, authorities said Tuesday.

Both soldiers, joined by a third man, were drinking alcohol and watching football at the time of the Sunday night incident, authorities said.

"The victim had the hiccups. The suspect pulled out a gun to scare him in order to stop the hiccups," said spokesman Carroll Smith of the Killeen, Texas, Police Department.

Pfc. Patrick Edward Myers, 27, was charged on Tuesday with manslaughter, and Justice of the Peace Garland Potvin set his bond at $1 million, police said.

Killed was Pfc. Isaac Lawrence Young, 22, of Ash Grove, Missouri, a motor transport operator at the Army base, the military said. Young entered active duty in May 2011 and arrived at Fort Hood in October 2011, the Army said.
Myers is a soldier at the base, as was Young at the time of his death, said Fort Hood spokesman Chris Haug.

Police responded to a shooting shortly after 10 p.m. Sunday and found a man shot in the face and two other men at the residence, Killeen police said.

Myers allegedly "produced a handgun and while handling it in an unsafe manner, discharged the handgun striking the victim in the face," police said.

Young was pronounced dead during the ambulance transport to Skylark Field, where he had been scheduled for an airlift to a hospital, authorities said.

Young received the National Defense Service Medal and Army Service Ribbon, the military said.

Republican Legislator Says ‘Slavery Was A Blessing In Disguise’ | Addicting Info

“… the institution of slavery that the black race has long believed to be an abomination upon its people may actually have been a blessing in disguise. The blacks who could endure those conditions and circumstances would someday be rewarded with citizenship in the greatest nation ever established upon the face of the Earth.”

Yeah, sorry about the whole slavery thing but hey, look on the bright side. At least we let you live here! USA! USA! USA!

I had an uncle who pretty much said the same thing. Except he said they should be grateful they don't have to live in mud huts and get AIDS.

Unfortunately we all know people with pretty awfully closed minds who are prone to making wide generalisations. What this idiot has said is stupidity of the highest order though.

Not that our treatment of the Native Americans wasn't absolutely repugnant, but in absolute fairness, most of them died due to unintentional exposure to our diseases.

Eh, I know there are some who still think that way, so this doesn't come as a surprise really. The fact that it is released does.

The ignorance and hatred behind these statements is simply amazing; who in their right mind would have even begun to think that these are worth publishing? If this man gets another term, I will be astounded.

I completely agree that, him, his publishers and the Republican Party who permit this are the abomination to worry about.

I know, seriously. Unfortunately, considering where I live, I hear that aaaaalllll the time. It's really, really annoying how the American people have been brainwashed into thinking that we are the best and no other nationality truly matters.

With all the current commotion around the allegations made about Jimmy Saville, and the fact that it seems to have been generally deemed far more acceptible in the past for an older man to have sex with teenage girls than it is today, it was fairly obvious that more women were going to come forward, more stories sold and more celebrities dragged into the spotlight.

I mean, I'm only (nearly) 28 so I didn't live it but it seems that a grown man sleeping with a 15 year old girl would, at one time, not have created such a fuss. I'm not claiming that it's right or proper behavior but the mindset of the general public has changed and become much, much more harsher and hostile about that kind of thing. I wonder, now that the floodgates have been opened, how many other celebrities are going to have claims made against them in the near future?
