невежество убивает

Гомеопатия помогает её любителям сделать то, что они мечтают - облегчить бремя планеты, уменьшить на ней количество человеков. За счёт самих любителей гомеопатии, что, считаю, заслуженно. Ребенка, правда, жалко, он не при чём.

Quick update

Сегодня у нас художественный флешмоб. Екатерина Нарасслабоне предложила мне Чюрлёниса. Изучаем полотно "Лес".
Чтобы поучавствовать, надо лайкнуть картинку, и в коментариях я дам вам художника, чье произведение вам надо будет опубликовать в своей ленте.

Highly predictable, considering the hostile Arab/Islamic regimes all around. All Jews serve by conscription, except for the Orthodox; the latter, just like people of other nationalities, can volunteer to serve. There is one exception — Israeli Arabs (of whom there are quite a few in the country, about 20%). Men serve for three years, women for two, sometimes even more — if the army paid for your civilian specialty training, for example.
