Then there's your answer. Your memes get deleted and your comments get down voted because you aren't trying to do any good, you're just trying to flaunt how Right and morally superior you are.
I get what you're saying, but the reality is if you are trying to do good, it doesn't matter how "right" you are if you are a dick about it.
Take Doctor Ignaz Semmelweis, for example. He worked hard and found a way to dramatically reduce deaths of women in childbirth (and tons of others besides) by washing hands after autopsies. Instead of trying to convince other doctors and influence the medical culture, he confronted and shamed other doctors, even to the point the doctors who he had gotten to start washing their hands stopped. Could he have caught more flies with honey than vinegar? Probably. But he was right, so what did it matter the method he used?
What mattered is hand-washing didn't get adopted. But I'm sure being right offered him some comfort when he was dying of sepsis in a mental asylum. Not to mention the women who died of infection.
The point is, do you want to Be Right, or do you want to do good? Because all this makes it sound like you want to Be Right.
I agree that they public schools should teach the history and dangers of communism. And the history and dangers of capitalism. And the history and danger of monarchies. And the history and dangers of democracy (and republics). And especially the history and dangers of fascism.
Those are all important subjects to teach, and there is not a governmental or economic system in current or previous existence that wasn't vulnerable to corruption, inefficiency, or evil in some way. An educated populous is the way to mitigate those vulnerabilities.
At my old unit, we somehow managed to justify (and purchased) a really nice 3D printer for my shop. One of the pilots came in at one point and printed a 9 inch long purple spiraled Unicorn horn with NVG mount locking points built into the base, and attached it to the flight helmet of another pilot who everyone thought was a bronie. It was a masterpiece and fit perfectly.
I was shocked how easy it was to do my taxes when I was poor (back before the online services even). Just went to the library and spent half an hour filling out a 1040EZ form and dropping it in a mailbox.
It's harder now that I actually have contributions to retirement, back when I owned a house, make considerably more, have two kids and a wife that's going to school, etc. But still took me less than an hour.
And I would argue that if it takes you more than an hour to do taxes, you both should and can afford someone to do taxes for you.
Kanye in the show didn't get it and thought people were calling him a gay fish. So if real Kanye didn't get the joke, and got mad because he thought South Park was calling him a gay fish... that's just incredible.
Well, it was during the Reagan administration, during a time the disease was generally believed to only afflict gay people, so...
It also is curious that military academies banned students who had kids (and made having kids punishable by expulsion) at around the same time they started admitting women.
Somebody posted a picture of a Harry Potter book burning in what I believe was a bird bath.
I commented that it was ironic that two groups so diametrically opposed as those that don't like shitty TERFs, and crazy Fundamentalists that not only believe magic is real, but also Sinful, would protest the books in that way for such completely different reasons.
The person posting said something about "hurr durr mah both sides," some people corrected them that I wasn't saying they were the same, just that it was bizarre that they agree on something at all, much less that... and then the mod removed my comment (I believe the same that wrote the comment responding to mine).
So... sometimes mods here can show poor reading comprehension and remove things for no reason as well.
I live in Alaska, so... Basically just a pair of Xtratufs by the door. Sandals and running shoes get added during the summer. Big snow boots come out for the heavy snows.
Inside I just wear socks. If I need to pop out, I pop the xtratufs on.
I can't imagine not taking shoes off and just wandering around the house with shoes on, tracking the outside in everywhere. I don't even know anyone who does that.
When in April, with its sweet showers,
The drought of March had pierced to the root,
And bathed every root in such liquor
Of which virtue engendered is the flower.
Basically, it's setting the scene for the coming story (it's the introduction to The Canterbury Tales), and talking about in April spring starts to see rain dispelling the drought of March and filling the roots with sweet water.
It goes on to talk about the winds and the birds, where the sun is in the sky (directly overhead), and then to pilgrims starting their pilgrimages, as a sort of "And this is where we begin our story" thing.
The way my dog squeezes his body and face into my leg to fall asleep (wiener dog), I'd say no. Keep in mind, we're still warmer than ambient temperature, so it's not like we're not pumping out heat.
Easter isn't even about Jesus. At least Christmas has the name, and some manger imagery, and other Christian-based stuff they can stamp on top of Saturnalia, but Easter is still named after the goddess of fertility with all the accompanying fertility and spring parts, from eggs to rabbits, to little sprouting plants and whatnot.
And I get that the Christians try to associate that spring renewal and rebirth with the resurrection, but I think that's a pretty big stretch to try to make it work.
Easter is not about Jesus. Every time somebody says "keep Christ in Christmas" I want to say "then get him out of Easter."
Also, "in case of rape"? Does that require a conviction for rape, which even in fairly slam dunk cases takes more than the length of the pregnancy? Does the woman have to file a police report and then be able to get an abortion? Do they just have to tell the doctor they were raped? What does "except in cases of rape, etc" mean, practically?
I didn't read this, but did you know that the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV has a free trial, and includes the entirety of A Realm Reborn AND the award-winning Heavensward expansion up to level 60 with no restrictions on playtime?
Well that answers that, doesn't it.
