Vaccines save millions of lives, a tiny tiny percentage of people that take vaccines have terrible side effects. Overall, vaccines are very useful and serve a great purpose. And yes, i have done research into various vaccines.
As to dangerous metals and chemicals in vaccines, you do realise there are only a limited number of elements right? Every substance on the planet (and off) is made from a variety of elements mixed together. For example, human beings contain precious metals (just in exceedingly small quantities). The problems arise of that proportion of chemicals is too high, for example too high a mercury content.
This is another of those polarising issues though. You are either for or against.

You are implying that women have more education with the less children they have, and this is not true...
There are plenty of single women, with no children out there who are as dumb as a rock, and it goes not only for young women, but for old women as well... There are also women who have several children and have a career/ degree/degrees in higher education...
Education as Correlate of Fertility Rate among Families in Southern Nigeria
The study examined the relationship between the level of educational attainment of families and their family size. The study identified educational attainments, urban and rural dwellings as correlates of fertility rate among families in Southern Nigeria. The analysis revealed that education and fertility rate are inversely related, both in urban and rural societies. However, education was found to be more inversely related to fertility among women and urban dwellers than men are and rural dwellers. The Nigerian love for children, their polygamous nature, irrespective of their educational attainment and the need for a particular sex of children, among others, were identified factors responsible for enlarged family size.

Yeah, money among the elite...who would have thought?
Power coming along with money...you must be kidding me!
Greed? I would think it would be exceedingly rare to become a high elite without having a knack for greed.
Why stop there, though? I mean, Microsoft has touched how many lives in a positive way?
Would the internet even be operational and so widespread as it is today without Microsoft?
Who knows?
What I do know is that it's not nearly as black and white of a picture as you are making it out to be.

Oh please...what was the first thing you did responding to this thread, or any other?... using ad hominem attacks and strawmans...
You are another of those members who NEVER provides any evidence to corroborate your claims. you seem to think that just because you say so it must be true...

Forced abortions are not part of China's laws. They are illegal.
Compensations have been paid to some.
Some provinces take the law into their own hands - - - mostly the more rural areas.
WASHINGTON (BP) -- Recent reports of women undergoing late-term abortions against their will are "only the tip of the iceberg" of the forced procedures that occur daily in China, a Christian advocate for human rights has told a congressional panel.
The new accounts of forced abortions have brought China's coercive, "one-child," population control policy to the world's attention in a way that is possibly unprecedented since it was instituted in 1979.
The story and photo of Feng Jianmei and her forcibly aborted daughter gained global attention online in June. Family planning officials kidnapped Feng, who was seven months pregnant but had no birth permit, June 2 in Shaanxi province and aborted her child when her family did not pay a fine. Authorities placed the body of her dead daughter next to her in bed. A Chinese dissident posted an account, plus a photo of the devastated mother and her dead daughter, online, and it went viral when the news broke June 12 in the West, according to testimony at a July 9 hearing before a House of Representatives subcommittee.

THE ONE CHILD POLICY AND ITS IMPACT ON CHINESE FAMILIES
Current birth planning (jihua shengyu) program of People’s Republic of China, featured by the one-child-per-couple policy (the one child policy), has been one of the largest and most dramatic population-control campaigns in the world, receiving both praise and sharp evaluation over the past quarter of a century. It has been so successfully implemented in China that the nation’s population growth rate dropped significantly. This policy has been intensely criticized internationally for violating fundamental human rights evidenced by the forced sterilizations and abortions, and the wide-spread abandonment and/or neglect of baby girls. As the policy has recently been extended through new legislation as the nation’s demographic strategy in the future (Xin Hua News Agency 2001), we will highlight some of the major challenges confronting Chinese families in the 21st century as the consequence of this policy.

Facts Behind China’s One
-Child Policy
All Girls Allowed
Chai Ling, Founder & President 7/10/2010
The mission of All Girls Allowed is to restore life, value and dignity to girls in China and around the world.
The goal of All Girls Allowed is to end the One-Child Policy and expose the injustices, rescuethe victims and celebrate the life of girls. Since 1978, the implementation of China‘s One-ChildPolicy has led to female gendercide, abandonment of daughters, human trafficking and violations of women‘s reproductive rights.
Through education, advocacy, strategic partnerships, and legal defense, All Girls Allowed strivesto:
Raise public awareness about the cruel methods used to enforce the One-Child Policy;
Educate families against gender based pregnancy termination by easing the burden of having a baby girl with monthly stipends and a baby shower gift of clothes and food;
Provide legal defense and asylum counseling to mothers who are in danger of forcedpregnancy terminations or involuntary sterilization;
Support abandoned children, the vast majority of whom are girls, by raising funds fororphanages; and
Reunite trafficked women and children with their families.

Forced abortion and sterilization are still commonplace in China today. Reports from across China‘s 22 provinces continue to report blatant human rights abuses. The enclosed documents reveal the inhumane process of forced sterilization and abortions in China. These reports cite incidents as recent as April, 2010. According to reputable reports, China‘s Population and Family Planning Commission (PFPC) continues to ignore basic human rights on several fronts. Other than forced abortions and sterilizations, PFPC agents have also been known to kidnap women against their will in the dead of night to avoid resistance. If the targeted mother is not present, it is not uncommon for PFPC agents to confiscate personal possessions, raze the family‘s home, or to detain relatives such as the husband or present parents. These measures are intended to pressure the woman into approving the forced abortion or sterilization. PFPC agents have also been known to deny birth permits to entire towns until the mother they are searching for is turned over. If these methods somehow fail, women are taken to clinics and hospitals by force, at times requiring ten or more men to apprehend and subdue them.
The laws by which Chinese women must abide are inhumane and surrender the control of the woman‘s body to the government. Women are forced to wear birth control rings, and are checked 2-4 times a year so that the government can ensure that they are being used. If women fail to attend their appointments, which are normally in their counties of birth and not where they work, they are heavily fined. In China it is illegal to even become pregnant without receiving a birth permit first. The cost of one alone is enough to discourage many families. Couples are not allowed to conceive until after they are married. This leads many couples who have illegitimate children to flee into the countryside to avoid PFPC detection until after they givebirth. Yet after they return they are still in danger. If PFPC officials find out that the newborn is illegitimate the family faces heavy fines and the mother is often forcefully sterilized for her deceit.
Once in a clinic, pregnant women are placed in small rooms with others in their situation. One-by-one they are injected with a serum that kills the fetus in the womb and triggers a birth within 24 hours. Accounts tell of women who are forced to give birth with no doctors or nurses present. When doctors are present, the operations are often unsanitary and life-threatening to the mothers. Multiple accounts refer to women being subjected to sterilization surgery even during menstruation, often leading to severe and life-altering complications. It is also well-documented that for abortions and sterilizations, anesthetics are rarely used and the women are subjected to extreme pain. Sadly, there are multiple accounts of surgeries that resulted in the death of both the fetus the mother. The government compensates such cases with only 40,000 Yuan

Scientists claim black people less intelligent than whites in Channel 4 show
Campaigners have criticised Channel 4 over plans to screen a controversial documentary in which scientists claim ethnic minorities are less intelligent than their white counterparts.
...
In the documentary Psychology professor Richard Lynn from the University of Ulster will say there is a global "league table", using evidence from IQ tests, to claim that intelligence is linked to race, with north-east Asians in the top tier and Australian aborigines at the bottom. He says on the programme that African IQs “don’t rise up to the same level as Europeans”.
British born psychology professor J Philippe Rushton is also interviewed on the programme.
He claims the differences between black and white and East Asian brains is due to general intelligence.
