I'm worried about what this news means for the future of Japanese porn...

Japan; old?

how many workers are there for each old person collecting a pension?

Slog is always telling us that demographics don't matter.

Slog is always telling us reproductive biology doesn't matter.

Slog is always telling us slaughtering a million babies a year is no big deal.

Slog is always telling us that if you teach kids that barren homosexual pairings are JUST AS GOOD as marriages of man and women (and they believe it) that that would be just AWESOME.

Slog, let us introduce to you a fellow named Darwin....

Some NA school should name their sports teams for the US 7th Cavalry, and watch the shit hit the fan.

speaking of which, you've got to be in awe of the SEfuckingC....

Alabama, Georgia and Florida took care of business today
(that is the way you do it, Oregon and K State...)
cementing their positions at the top of the rankings.

The only thing yet to see is if the Condoms of Southern Cal will do the South a big one and knock off the Pedophiles setting up a(nother) all SEC National Championship game in Miami.

If you humanist heathens believe in reincarnation maybe you could be so lucky as to come back as Southerners.....

Speaking of old populations...spending a week in Denver area (Durp-ver Central) I note, as I have noted here in Greater Seattle (Littler Durp), the complete absence of single women between 25 and 45. This makes for a worse society, I feel.

@8 I read your posts and I worry about you.

How comes no one mentions the mascots used by the Boston Celtics adn the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

Oh yea because they are white.

Typical double standard.

@8

Uuuuurgh, you're so gross, Bailo.

@10 heh, I am 28 years old and just now learned the Boston Celtics have a little Irish man as their mascot. I figured the name was Celtic themed, but how the name is pronounced I just figured the etymology was something akin to the Steelers. I would have guessed they didn't have a mascot perse.

@8: Why does it bother you? It's not like any single woman in that age group would give you the time of day.

@3: I have formal education in evolutionary biology. Several other SLOG commenters do as well. You don't know a thing about what you're talking about. But please, continue talking.

@10, I can add the Oklahoma Sooners to your list. The term "sooner" is a celebration of taking land from First Nations that had been given to them as compensation for land taken from them previously.
