"A mini-census conducted in 1995 showed that never-married men 20 to
44 years old outnumbered their female counterparts by nearly 2 to 1.
(Between the ages of 25 and 39, the ratio was 4 to 1.) ... 'If you
have an area where men are up in the hills, on the periphery,

\_ [censor's comments censored again] It's not my quote. I just
don't like you and every other motd censor. So now I'm giving
you a taste of your own medicine.
\_ WTF is your problem? YOU are the one censoring things. YOU
are the one removing quotes and text and comments from the motd.
Fucking replace the original comment/entry because it was an
accurate critique of the original motd entry, and gave a much
more complete picture of what the article said and what the
situation in china is.
\_ The chickens are coming home to roost.
\_ The alternative being...? Mass starvation?
\_ and for a different type of quote from the same article:
"Where are you going to get extra females? Import women from other
countries?" Banister said. "Only the most radical things could
solve it, and nobody's suggesting those radical things, like women
getting two husbands each."
\_ Marry Russian women. I heard that Russia has more women than men
cause the men drank too much vodka.
\_ The solution is Christianity, and its anti-abortion stance will
stop the parents from using ultrasound to abort female fetuses. |
