Google "Iran 1970s" and click on photos.

Religious zealots and fundamentalists. Grade A nutters using religion for their narrow minded bigoted ideas.

Greece has put all of its navy out to sea after Turkey threatened to invade a couple of Islands.

Google "Iran 1970s" and click on photos.

I see quite a few photos that could be The Garment District in LA, downtown San Francisco,.... anywhere that's very Western & at the same time fairly diverse in nature.

Crazy isn't it? Did you find the Boobie pics?

[D41]

No, but to be fair I neglected to look for any.... they weren't exactly at the top of my agenda.

America is **** weird

America is **** weird

And how are they checking against FtM transgender I wonder???

[Kwacky]

There's a much bigger issue going on. It's all linked to the recent changes in abortion laws. There's been lots of tracking apps being promoted to monitor periods

They really don't care about trans athletes.

If you get bored, do some googling about America being worried there's not enough white kids being born.

[D41]

I can see it happening.... abortions are much more prevalent among lower income women - and those also tend to be women of color. With Roe v Wade being recently overturned there's a danger now that they're going to breed whitey right out of existence.
Race War!!!!

All sounds very Handmaidens Tale doesn’t it

Quite a number of white folk that could do with knowing what it feels like to be a minority race imo.

[D41]

I think that would only heighten their bigotry TBH.
And I also think most of that sort of sentiment is learned behavior.....in other words for the most part I blame the parents.

[Kwacky]

No one is born a racist

But it would be nice if the racists stopped breeding

[D41]

No one is born a racist

That's true, but we're also naturally wary of the unknown - that's a trait which everyone is born with....and in a lot of people's minds it doesn't take much of anything at all to tip the scale in the wrong direction.

This is huge. What a move by POTUS

[Jack]

I wonder how many of the privately owned jails will now be forced to close , not enough as in my opinion .

This is huge. What a move by POTUS

All it would take is the threat of releasing one photo of Biden, high on a spliff at a Syracuse University party in back in the swinging sixties,,,,,,
Just sayin.

[D41]

He did say at the beginning of last year that he'd be pushing to decriminalize cannabis/marijuana use and/or possession. I guess that this is an extension or expansion of that policy?

And with mid-terms coming up.......

Talking to a guy I work with who lives in the us about this during the week. I don't know what D41 thinks, but his opinion was that this is a bit of a non-announcement.

From what he was saying, with the exception of the states where weed is already legal, the majority of states look to be opposing this move.
