Great story.

I'm assuming there's something not working quite right upstairs. Other news stories report other alleged weird behaviors, like firing too old, too fat, or too buxom employees, and requesting male employees pull down their pants.

It appears you don't understand how chemotherapy works.

Of course parents' rights to dominion over their children should be absolute. What could possibly go wrong with that?

So it looks like the ATF's Standard Operating Procedures for stings involve exploiting the mentally disabled and then jailing them when they've outlived their usefulness, as they've been caught doing it multiple times now. These are the "heroes" making America safe. :fp:


The Story
 
It's from a Norwegian blog, but good news anyway!

Denmark's biggest sporting clothes chains are now stopping to sell Canada Goose jackets! They are also stopping to sell any products with fur on. Sportmaster have been one of the biggest distributioner of the jacket, and none of the 100 stores they have will have products with fur anymore!

In Denmark, it's not allowed to breed foxes for fur. :)

An other good news from Norway. It's stupid that we don't have English papers, but Google translate will give you something to laugh about at least (I have a lot of joy when I use it for Finish articles. :P ).

Link to the article.

This is about palmoil. I guess you all know that palmoil are neither good for you health, nor the rainforrest.

Norway is one of the contries this has really been put in focus, and we have redused the use of palmoil quite a much. In 2011 we used 15 000 tonn. In 2012 only 5000 tonn. The number for 2013 are not ready yet, but it is still redusing. A lot of brands have taken out the palmoil from their products totaly, and several other have starting to reduse it quite much, with the goal to stop using it at all. Some are of cause clinging to their palmoil, and one of the brands (not mentioned in the article) are produsing baby food.

From 2014 it will not be leagal to camoflage palmoil in products by calling them "vegetabile oil" og "vegetabile fat"

One of the biggest brand on produsing palmoils, "Wilmar" ,have sign a manifest that comitt them not contribute to more deforestation, build on peat ground and no more taking advantage of humans and local societies. Wilmar is behind 45% of the palmoil tradings.

It shows that the force we have as customers is big, and we can be a part of the changes to the industry!

I wish they would do that in the US. It's hidden under about 50 different names here.

This is the point of the request:

Hemant Mehta, who writes for the Friendly Atheist blog, said the Hindus’ request would likely put Oklahoma lawmakers in a legal and political bind.
“If the Commission votes yes on the proposal, conservatives will flip out,” Mehta wrote. “If they vote no, they’re just inviting a lawsuit. This is beautiful."
