You're most welcome.
I got a real laugh out of this:

Since China introduced its “one child” policy in 1979, the imbalance between the sexes has increased to the point where there are 119 boys for every 100 girls. The pioneer generation of that 20 percent male surplus is reaching manhood now. Unless China’s planning on becoming the first gay superpower since Sparta, what’s going to happen to those young men? As a rule, large numbers of excitable lads who can’t get any action are useful for manning the nuttier outposts of the jihad but not for much else.

It is pretty funny. What's interesting is that China continues to send thousands and thousands of girls out of the country as adoptees.

By the time 2010 rolls around you're going to have 50,000,000-75,000,000 Chinese men aged 25-35 who will be facing the realization that they have nearly zero prospect of ever getting married.

The problem here is that when those tens of millions of "surplus" males start making problems for China because they can't find wives, the most obvious solution for China would be to start a massive war with one or more countries in a win-win situation: If China wins, bonus, and even if they lose, their casualties will thin out the "excess" male population.

I think we should all be concerned about a China which has tens of millions of young males it can afford to lose, and has an incentive to do so.

Oh yeah? Check out this.
Some stuff is so bizarre that
I'm too stunned to laugh:

"We have mentioned that the US Military revolted against Bush during the vacation month of August 2003, removing the 'football' from his control, the nuclear codes, and relaying that he was no longer considered their Commander-in-Chief. Gore, as the legitimately elected Commander-in-Chief, was whom they were reporting to, in the interim. All branches of the US Military except the Navy were so inclined, the Navy with their nuclear submarines and control of time keeping and observatories remaining loyal. Thus, we recently had an admiral assigned to NORTHCOM, the military arm of Homeland Security for defense of the entire North American Continent. We have also mentioned that recently the Navy was signaling a switch, the military altogether in revolt against the Bush cabal. Bush was not invited to go to NORTHCOM for the exercises during the busy weekend when Rita was slamming the coast and VP Cheney was in surgery, he was taken there, under arrest. The unmistakable change in his visage after being released a clue to what occurred. Scared, unable to smile. Wearing the same shirt for days, even when appearing in public. Cowed, brought to heel. What happened at NORTHCOM?"

Some of the social consequences of the one-child policy will be lessened by the fact that it's now easy for young men to migrate to other countries for school and/or work.
