I do not understand this preference of boys over girls.
Anyway, IMO abortion should not be disallowed because of possible sex picking. This is a dangerous and slippery slope. Groups who are silly to perform this on a cultural basis will have a reduced chance of spreading their genes. In the end, Nature is fair.

probably a last-name-carries on thing? In my nationalities history, before they went all Catholicistic, the middle name was the mom's maiden name. It helped keep cross breeding to a minimum. The Azores are kinda small, so they are really careful.
The mexicans give each kid nine zillion names to cover both sides and track the bloodline .. but, uncles hump their neices an aweful lot in mexican culture. Not sure why. The narrow bloodlines in the backwoodsy areas of mexico have all of the classic birth defect issues, including low I.Q., club hands and feet, hair lip, palsey, and other birth issues. Starts to add up now, dont it?

It is not possible to understand the culture imperatives of a culture that is alien to oneself. It (the behavior) just is, what it is.
No more possible than it is to understand why on the Real Estate Threats, there are some who get off on bragging about their savvy, smart investments, peppering their broadcasted boastings with belittling epithets against those who disagree with them.
I suppose those kinda people are a culture that's alien to me.

Me, too.
It's the Cool and Hip Way in the Cool and Hip Bay Area.
But that's a big difference than (fully immersed) living it or being raised in it or whatever. Without that kind of perspective, even if we "Hipster In" with some superficial exposure to them by living in an Internationalist Place like the Bay Area or London or Vancouver or whatever, other cultures are still alien to us.

Thank you for posting this. Government cannot favor one religion over another (well, it couldn't prior to Obamneycare, which taxes/penalizes people based on their religion or irreligion), but it is worth remembering that some religions really are worse than others, and some still require child sacrifice.
Muslims sacrifice daughters literally by killing them for perceived improprieties, e.g. if the daughters get assaulted sexually then they have been dishonored and it is their fault because they must have dressed immodestly. Mormons (aka cult of Moroni, but calling it Moronic would have been too obvious) sacrifice sons by driving them to suicide. Some Jewish sects mourn apostates as if they were dead, e.g. if a son is gay they will sit shiva as if he had died and never speak to him again. South American tribes sacrificed children of both sexes to various gods.
The beneficiaries of the sacrifice are always the preachers in charge. If they can get you to sacrifice your children for them, then they own you because you will never be able to doubt the religion, the cognitive dissonance of having sacrificed your own child for nothing would be too terrible. (Likewise the recurring war cry: these dead soldiers must not have died in vain, therefore we must kill more soldiers. It sounds ridiculous but it recurs because it moves people.) Religion is fundamentally about displacing natural law (we live, we try to promote the next generation, we die) with magical thinking (all is the will of a deity that is omnipotent yet paradoxically needs our help and money all the time, and we will live forever if we sacrifice our resources for the preachers).
Any self-interested system can produce similar results, including the medical-industrial complex, e.g. Medicare and Obamneycare. The message seems to be, "If you give us enough money, you'll live forever." As Eisenhower warned of military spending, medical spending is also taken from resources that could otherwise have been invested in the young, e.g. education to give them better prospects in life. Certainly in California, education budgets have been cut and schools have been closed in order to pay for more medical spending.
Alas I don't see much prospect of stopping the trend. The organizational forces are simply too huge. Witness the only groups strong enough to resist Obamneycare, and win exemption for themselves, were religions that also sacrifice their children by refusing even the most basic medical treatment. Notice the Republicans are nominating, as their crusader against Obamneycare, the cult member who signed the original Romneycare. From the perspective of actual people, Romney is much worse than Obama, but from the perspective of corporate and institutional power over people, it's a wash.

Please don't confuse Indians in this debate. Honor killings are not endemic in Indian (Hindu) society. There is a problem with backward, ignorant people with cross caste relationships but with education this is being stamped out.
Every society has it's ignorant people but it depends on whether the cultural diasphora accepts this or speaks out against it.
I'll preempt the usual caste curry and cows comment by saying that before throwing those stones at Hindus about caste violence, there have been no genocides, witch hunts , inquisitions associated with the faith. If the worst is caste violence by illiterate , backward , ignorant people struggling to survive then there is no comparison with lynchin's of black folk in a prosperous superpower or ethnic cleansing of all non muslims in muslim dominated countries pakistan and bangladesh.

Liberals don't hate any of those things. Take it from me, a liberal.
If a student wants to pray to your god, the Islamic god, a Hindu god, or Satan, I have absolutely no problem with that student being able to do so anywhere as long as he's not forcing others to participate against their will including by holding a captive audience at a graduation ceremony.
If I can't sing the praises of Satan during the graduation ceremony without being escorted out by force, then you can't do the same of Jesus. Fair's fair.
However, if a student wants to pray on his own or with other consenting people, he's free to do so regardless of whether his prayers are to Jesus or Satan. The school cannot interfere as long as he's not disrupting school activities such as classes. But the school cannot give him special treatment either as that is state sponsorship of religion.
Somehow, I doubt that those who favor "prayer in schools" apply that philosophy to Wicca, witchcraft, Satan worshiping, Islam, or polytheistic religions like Hindu, Confucianism, and Daoism. I'll bet all those "bring god back into the classroom" types would freak out if the god brought back was Gaia and the students formed a witches and warlocks club.

Forgot to mention Deuteronomy 21:18-21
“If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.”
In this situation, the family takes one for the team: one couple are allowed to kill one son, as an example to frighten everyone's sons, so they will all be afraid and obedient.

interesting point Peter... what does the Libertarian view suggest?
It suggests that they want the government out of their lives so they can build a smaller little government that we call A FAMILY.
Communism begins with an attack on the family, and ends with the complete destruction of society.
Libertarianism begins with an attack on government, and ends with a kingdom with a tribal chieftain.

Killing anyone on purpose is murder. At best, it's the path of least evil as in the case of self-defense or defense of another. But killing a person who is no longer a threat to anyone because he's in super-max prison, is still murder regardless of how guilty he is.
Justice and vengeance are mutually exclusive.
And isn't it your god that allegedly wrote on stone tablets: Thou shall not kill. If your god was real, you could leave justice to him.
Of course, your death penalty makes no sense given your belief in the afterlife. A man kills someone, gets arrested, and sentence to death. On his last day of life, a priest visits him and absolves his sins. He dies sinless and goes to heaven where he enjoys eternal bliss. Some punishment.

nope. It's called "punishment". It is supposed to fit the "crime".
Dan8267 says
my beliefes do not include a priest, but other than that you are correct. But, the purpose of punishment of evil is have safe LIFE for the LIVING. The spiritual war has already been won by God. The physical world has laws, rules, and punishment. I know you are really smart, so I always feel like the cat swatting at the yarn you are holding. Kinda sucks.

yes he does, and so does anyone else that belives in God, and accepts that Jesus covered all debts. Including you and me. As for the punishment, it is a crime in this world and a punishment in this world to keep a value of life high enough to be worth the trouble. Notice how easy murder and death are becoming to accept these days? Those chopped heads of mexico are here now. Ready for it in SanJose? Better get ready.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth is antithetical to Jesus's teachings. Do you disagree with Jesus? Don't feel bad if the answer is yes, I do too often.
Bap33 says
The concepts of punishment and deterrent are not the same. As a punishment, under your assumptions, the murderer is better off, so it's hardly a punishment as death has no sting.
As a deterrent, the death penalty is worthless as proven over and over.

The facts simply don't support your claim that the death penalty deters murder. However, there is something that does deter murder and other violent crimes: socialism.

There are certain specific policies that trouble me like Gitmo, drone strikes, waterboarding, indefinite detention. These things are based on the priniciple that life is cheap.
Nevertheless, despite certain atrocities committed by countries like the United States, Syria, the Soviet Union, and Germany over the past century, we live in the least violent period of human history to date.
Seriously, I know you don't believe me, but watch the video on this page, http://www.edge.org/conversation/mc2011-history-violence-pinker
Here's a few slides from his video.
All these slides show violence going down and at it's minimal levels today. This means that despite a few recent atrocities by our country and a few others, the world as a whole values life far more today than at any other time. You live in a golden age of peace and non-violence.

Excellent graphs.
The only grahpic I'd dispute the one that matches specific sites to "20th Century". Obviously Europe & the US over 100 years has much lower violence, but comparing specific sites to an entire century's average is misleading.
A better comparison would be "Crow Creek" with "Stalingrad" or "Anzio", and I think we'd get much different results.
