Genetically alternated cotton seeds for food.

Putin’s Congo Roast.
More Vicious Than Rape. (Make sure you read the WARNING before you proceed to read the article.)
Nice things to read on a Saturday morning. NOT.
F**king savages, and not limited to Congo. And the Chinese leaders were shaking hands with them savages only a couple of weeks ago.
