Ahhh..

Socialist agendas and their polls. :roll:

As proof, I'll direct you here: http://www.madcowssteakhouse.com/viewtopic.php?t=15833

This was brought as proof (against US "child poverty") based on a the same report.



Cuba
Infant mortality rate:
total: 6.22 deaths/1,000 live births
male: 6.99 deaths/1,000 live births
female: 5.41 deaths/1,000 live births (2006 est.)

United States
Infant mortality rate:
total: 6.43 deaths/1,000 live births
male: 7.09 deaths/1,000 live births
female: 5.74 deaths/1,000 live births (2006 est.)


I guess that's why so many Cubans flee Cuba for the US. :doh:

BBC mounts court fight to keep 'critical' report secret

The BBC has spent thousands of pounds of licence payers' money trying to block the release of a report which is believed to be highly critical / The corporation is mounting a landmark High Court action to prevent the release of The Balen Report under the Freedom of Information Act.

Cadbury eggs rule.

The Japanese have mandatory PE classes all the way through their school system. The actual education system sucks, but I have heard their PE program is top notch. I don't know if they just sic the dogs on them and whoever lives, lives, and whoever doesn't, doesn't. Private schools might work different. Plus there's all the inbreeding. I'm not saying Japan is perfect, I'm just saying I have heard they keep their kids in shape by running them around the block a few times per day. Maybe Britain needs some kind of mandatory physical program? God knows America does -- not only school, but corporate-required biannual fitness tests as well.

Personally, I blame Bush.
