Calls for peace after caste riots
"On Friday, eight people were killed and up to 20 injured in clashes between the Gujjars and rival Meena community. Earlier in the week, 20 people died in clashes between the Gujjars and the police.
The powerful Meenas, who make up about 15 per cent of the population and already enjoy the privileges, oppose the Gujjars' demand as it would mean more competition for them."
Calls for peace after caste riots
"MORE than 150 police have been injured in violent clashes with protesters at a demonstration in northern Germany against next week's G8 summit, a police spokesman says.
Masked demonstrators hurled Molotov cocktails, stones and bottles at police as tens of thousands of people marched through the streets of Rostock.
...The Rostock demonstration kicks off a week of protests against the summit of the leaders of Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia and the US."
Calls for peace after caste riots
"A crackdown on violators of the one-child policy triggered massive unrest and the outbreak of violence in the southwest region of the country, as villagers fought back against government officials and the one-child policy enforcers.
Thousands of Chinese peasants rioted over exorbitant fines, forced abortions and sterilizations, and the destruction and confiscation of property inflicted on the communities by family planning officers. "
What I always like is the "pleas for peace." The people in power telling the desperate "just settle down and we'll work this out (after we take care of ourselves, of course."

So there I was, all curious about China, as last I'd heard they'd been allowing people to have more than one kid. So I click on the article.
And Deconsumption's credibility just went out the window.
Check your sources. Extremist websites about increasing global population might not be the most accurate source for news about China's policies regarding children.
