Bullshit editorialized headline.
How does this have so many upvotes?

Oh I tagged him as ignoramus gigantica.

one has to reject the fact, because one cannot reject reality.

Facts are based on reality, you cannot reject facts without rejecting reality. The stupidity of the above is mind blowing. 🤣🤣🤣

A lot of that makes sense, and the issue of just pretending to be nice is absolutely also an American thing. That’s being superficial, and that’s just about stereotypical American.
And absolutely for many countries culture and politics are intertwined. IDK so much about China, but for USA the culture of violence is absolutely both in politics and in the population. USA is a very atypically violent country for a democracy.

That’s horrible, I don’t really know what to say, except best wishes to you.
I always thought Chinese were a more pragmatic people than most, but this is not pragmatic of your parents, this is cynical and evil.

Seems to me that Islam is discriminating strongly against women, and that could absolutely be a factor to prevent this sick culture from being abandoned.
I know there are Muslims who are good people, but I don’t think the religion is helping.
I knew many Muslims when I lived in Copenhagen, from many different countries, and common for the men were that they were way more discriminating against women than is normally acceptable among cultural Danes. They also commonly claimed that the women preferred it that way! For instance regarding very stereotypical strong gender roles.
I also don’t believe the honor thing is without heavy influence from religion, and religion is helping preserve these medieval standards in modern times.

I know there are Muslims that are more modern and more moral, and just like most Christians have abandoned ancient doctrines that are clearly bad.
It just seems to me that Islam has not progressed away from such practices as much as Christianity generally has.
For instance by far the most Muslims still believe apostasy is a sin that should be punished. In a modern society that is unacceptable.

Funny then that when they move to another culture, and take it with them, it is always muslims.

It’s insane how twisted in the head you have to be to think that killing your daughter is the honorable thing to do!
Religion is harmful to both individuals and society. Extreme religion is extremely harmful to both individuals and society.

Say what you want about Hitler, but at least he killed Hitler.

It was so obviously stupid back then, that only people too young to remember don’t know this.
Trump had no reason to tear up that agreement, he did it because it was an agreement Obama had made, and Trump was hellbent on reversing everything Obama did out of spite and nothing else.

Yeah it’s far from perfect, but it’s still better than most countries in most ways.
Child protection however is an extremely difficult area, because getting it wrong is horrible, despite they think they are helping the child. In other situations, there really is a need to protect the child.

I don’t know if this woman has gotten her children back

Probably not, the standard mode for social workers/services I’ve seen here in Denmark, is to double down, no matter how wrong their original decision was. It was their decision, and they are right by law, and it basically can’t be questioned.

simply being Greenlandic will be enough to get the attention of social workers.

The tests cover attachment, personality traits, cognitive abilities and psychopathology, and take about 15-20 hours. It is almost impossible to pass them, says Nellemann; even he and his colleagues have failed to do so.

I remember reading about this late last year, and I remember not trusting that social worker or the process one bit.
I once watched a documentary about this kind of “social service” and some of their methods are 100% unscientific, and don’t take personality traits or just moods into account, like whether a person is extro- or introvert. I even posted about it on feddit.dk, but was met with much skepticism. One of the things I saw, was that if a baby doesn’t seek eye contact with a stranger holding it, it should be a sign that the mother doesn’t give the baby enough attention! Yes really it’s that stupid! When obviously it’s more likely the baby doesn’t appreciate a stranger.

I can’t put into words how much I despise that kind of quackery! Because that’s what it is.
But quackery is unfortunately standard procedure in social services. And social services even trump real doctors, meaning quackery trumps real doctors by law!!
Quackery is illegal in Denmark, except in social services where it’s an everyday phenomenon.

Or maybe this is Bridge, where you need to have a good partner, but trump is playing alone against 3. 🤣

Trump is not playing cards, he is playing shit on the carpet, and he thinks he is winning, because nobody else is doing it.
But all he is doing is leaving a huge stink in USA, making life worse for Americans, and keeping everybody else away.

Then they could at least state it was an accident.

This bill is going nowhere, and Trump just said at the summit that he would honor article 5.
I know Trump often changes his mind, but the summit showed that Trump has definitely changed course for the better regarding NATO.

When the seas are boiling and everything else is hotter than that, I don’t think so.
If that was the case, why isn’t there life on Venus?

The earth core is hot too, if the surface gets hot everything in between gets hot too.

Yeah the original plan to keep it below 2°C is toast.
