After certain groups within society having been excluded for ever,both the powers that be and those groups want to be represented more in the workings the of the societies they live in.

Jester13 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) On social media today it was brought to attention that white people shouldn't be using gifs with black people because it's racist. It's called digital blackface. Look for it in the Websters dictionary in 2021. Edit: true story. Edited March 13, 2021 by Jester13 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess Black people shouldn't wear pants because they are appropriating white culture, oh and don't forget mechanization and most of the comforts of modern life. Since most were created by thew western European culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take for instance this report recently released by the US government. It is PDF but it says that Jehovah's Witnesses are the most persecuted religion in the world. Some of the most peaceful people in the world. https://www.uscirf.gov/sites/default/files/2020 Issue Update - Jehovahs Witnesses.pdf Then you have the government of Slovenia doing this. To get permanent residency you have to declare your ethnicity, religious affiliation and native language. This goes against the EU's privacy laws. https://www.total-slovenia-news.com/politics/7763-changes-to-slovenia-s-residence-registration-law-require-individuals-to-state-ethnicity-religion-native-language To be fair Jehovas Witness is about as close to a cult as you can get without being called one. Source: A good friend was a Jehova's Witness and him and his sister tried to leave. Bens far away now with his wife, after being kidnapped by his family at one point (locked in a basement of a church). His sister is a missing persons case to this day. She had recently told her family she was leaving and marrying a Jewish man. Edited March 14, 2021 by 5Fivehole0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now one could argue that we should all see people as individuals rather than a collective, but I tend to ignore that fact sometimes. There are just too many people on this planet. For every one intelligent person there are a dozen idiots. Sometimes I think if the one child per policy should be applied globally. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada needs to be accepting an extra 100,000 new immigrants per year by 2030 to get anywhere near sustaining current levels of economic growth. These new immigrants need to be younger, but they would still only offset some of the effects of Canada's aging population. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has told me that everyone has to live their own life and be responsible for their own actions. Kinda like God showed Adam the consequences of eating the fruit from the tree but never stopped him from doing it. While I do not doubt your story, I doubt that it was a family of Jehovah's Witnesses. That would be a huge No-No and be contrary to everything they believe in.

Saving the environment, reducing the impact of consumption and consumerism, minimizing the strain on the health care system, saving our unborn kids from having to deal with this $&!# world for their whole life, including all of the stupidity home and abroad. Woohoo!! It’s interesting that very developed places like Japan. S.Korea, western Europe, Canada, Singapore etc. have very low birth rates. On the other hand, birth rates are exploding in Yemen, Afghanistan, Sudan, Nigeria, Somalia etc. To me this trend is disturbing because places that are ripe with extremism, wars, human rights issues, medieval mentality etc. are growing in population, while countries that are trying to eradicate those things are shrinking.
