This almost sounds like a april fools day prank but given the date and medium that's very unlikely. Weird story though!

A Tourette’s-like disorder that has so far affected 18 girls and one boy at a New York school continues to baffle experts… (sounds like the start of an X-files episode but it's true).

See how easy it is for website to find out which social networks you're using

They also provide a solution if you care about this kind of information being available to everyone:
"If you want to prevent sites from being able to detect this then for Firefox you can try RequestPolicy or NoScript. For Chrome you can give ScriptNo a shot. On IE you can try giving Firefox or Chrome a try. ;)"

Why do American politician always use wrong statistics when they want to bash Holland. Is this from the statistics agency from FOX news again?!

According to Rick Santorum is 10% of deaths "caused" by euthanasia, while the proper statistics say it's only 2%. He's make the statement that 50% of these euthanasia cases is not out of free will (something that is simply illegal and I cannot imagine that GPs all over the country are evil killing machines).

Because of this all old Dutch people are afraid of the hospital and take their care in another country…. So how come that the health care system is stretched to the max with the current after war generation, aren't they suppose to get their healthcare somewhere in Europe without euthanasia rights?!

"Obamacare leads America down the same road" – a right, of course, free (or accessibel to all) healthcare is evil and leads to killing sprees under the patients.

What a joke if this is the only way you can win elections….
