POPSPatch puts a stop to Montezuma's revenge While it may not solve the problem for everybody, it will certainly be a relief for many. A patch like this could be the sort of thing that can support a child's immune system and allow it to strengthen after it has been weakened by starvation, and diseases such as this. Giving food the chance to be absorbed and rebuild, rather than being ejected undigested, with enough water to cause critical dehydration.

POPSThe Western Hypocrites Line Up There is currently a worldwide food crisis, created by the greediest bastards of the West. How dare these pile of hypocrites get mad because Robert Mugabe is in attendancce. Starvation in Zimbabwe? Excuse me? Starvation means dying from hunger. So whose dying of starvation in Zimbabwe. News to me. The average Zimbabwean is fatter than the average European. So are Europeans are "starving" to death? Robert Mugabe is denounced for one reason and one reason ONLY, despite all the bloviating from the West and the West alone: Mugabe is alone among African leaders with the balls to declare that the land and its resources of Zimbabwe belongs to Zimbabweans. Considering the fact that the US kidnaps, tortures, invades, steals, mass-murder, starves and both commits and finance state terrorism and Europe doesn't notice one thing wrong, European critics of Mugabe are just plane full of shit.

POPSOrthodox Jewish youths burn New Testaments. What next? Wonder how this went down with the Christian Zionist fundamentalists? Are they in rapture over the burning of the new testaments? So your welcome to boast the Zionist economy but don't bring your bible. So now we have the torture, the concentration camps, the assassinations, the ethnic cleansing, the Gaza prison, the slow starvation, the economic strangulation, the racism, the Arab holocaust to match the Nakba of 60 years ago, and on and on. And all with America's blessing. What next? Burning the Christians?

POPSHow Not to Run a Government People are dying by the thousands in Burma and all the government can think of is protecting itself from a hostile people demanding change. I am praying for that very uprising to take place and this self-serving junta military government gets sent packing. I am sure these rulers are getting three squares a day and then some.
