They're paying white women to have children Twisty reports that Russia is offering Russian women approximately $9,000 to have kids. This is interesting, because Russia has 143,000,000 people, and every forty seconds a woman dies from domestic violence. There's no telling how many women, precisely, are injured, but the population as a whole suffers from an amazing array of diseases---AIDS, tuberculosis, hepatitus of various sorts, STDs, and so forth. Birth control is hard to get ahold of, and abortions are common. I know one woman who had eight, gave birth to two living children, and saw one of them become a drug addict and prostitute. Another friend of a friend had her fetus die inside her but the doctor would not perform the operation to evacuate it till her husband rounded up enough money. Medical care is often cash upfront. She died of sepsis on the operating table.

Oh yes, plus there's this: some Russian soldiers change their underwear only every three months, and that's just something I didn't want to know. Sigh - Russian men - 'tis very sad... ;-)
Oh, and when you do resume normal service, maybe you'd like to offer some sympathy to an Australian damsel-in-distress who's in distress because of (you guessed it!) bad, interest-stealing Russians! ...
