Condoms with Barcodes Track Safe Sex

How odd... Condoms with a unique bar code to track safe sex? weird. Well whatever it takes to stop the spread of Aids and other STD's. This was a more like a test to see if people would actually follow through with this design of condom. Planned parenthood of the great northwest distributed 55,000 of these "cool condoms" with a quick response code embedded on them. Which were then needed to be scanned with a smartphone after use. The results where then uploaded to a map of the area that the condoms where distributed in. http://www.livescience.com/18744-condoms-track-safe-sex.html

Riot at Soccer Match Causes Many Deaths in Egypt

73 people were killed early this month at a soccer game between rivaling fans. Security must have been minimal due to the fact that weapons such as knives and clubs were used to beat each other. Then the next day riots break out over the deaths of the civilians at the soccer game. People in Cairo become hostile and four more people get killed and around 600 are injured. What next? Bedouin gunmen take two American tourists and an Egyptian tour guide hostage. They were eventually released by Egyptian police. These actions are so inhumane. http://www.infoplease.com/news/2012/current-events/world_feb.html

McDonald’s confirms that it’s no longer using ‘pink slime’ chemical in hamburgers

This cant be true. Pink slime in McDonald hamburgers? whats next?

Last week McDonald announced that they will no longer be using this "Pink slime" product in their hamburgers. Thank god! Last August this production has come to a halt for it has been making its way around to the people and they finally took action. MSNBC has reported that the same chemicals used in fertilizers and household cleaning products where also used in the preparation of McDonald hamburger meats. Here is a list of these chemicals... Propylene glycol, Carmine, shellac, L-cycsteine, lanolin and silicon dioxide. I don't even think you want me to describe these chemicals to you. I also find it hard to realize that the U.S Agriculture Department classifies these chemicals safe.
