Arizona Senator Jake Hoffman, who co-sponsored the bill, wrote: “Even in the wake of a global civil rights leader — an Arizona resident and her own constituent — being assassinated in broad daylight for his defense of the First Amendment, Hobbs couldn’t find the human decency to put her far-Left extremism aside simply to allow those how wish to honor him to do so.
Charlie Kirk a "global civil rights leader"? Pull the other one, it has bells on.
Yes, but it's complex. I helped care for a lovely old Scottish lady, she was so nice everyone was confused as to why her family never visited. Turns out before the dementia set in she was a horriblY abusive person, and none of her kids wants to have anything to do with her.
For anyone who isn't Australian, the only reason we have a teenage social media ban is because almost everyone wanted a ban on gambling advertising but the gambling industry and the politicans they own couldn't allow that.
The teenage social media ban is just a distraction, and it's only going ahead because a majority of Australian parents can't or won't control their kids and are happy to let the government do it.
When my mother-in-law passed away I attended the funeral in rural China. It was weird for me as a non-Chinese, it seemed to me like everyone was being hysterical with the wailing, pulling at their own hair and clothes in grief etc.
But I joined in anyway and looking back on it I feel that while it seemed weird at the time to grieve so publicly, it was positive to get it all out at once.
Go do something that will start the tears flowing, watch a sad movie if you have to, but once you start let it all out.
I'm not Chinese, but my wife is and we lived in China for the first decade of our marriage, having 3 kids from 2008-2014.
When my wife was pregnant with our first she had an entry level job in local government. We both had to have a meeting with her boss and sign a pledge that we wouldn't have any further children. Doing so meant she got full access to paid maternity leave, and her work paid all the hospitals bills.
Before our second was born we'd already decided she was going to stay at home and look after the kids, rather than returning to work while her parents cared for them (as she was raised), so she quit that job.
The one child policy didn't affect us atall after that. I always heard rumours of forced sterilization out in the countryside, but in our post-2000s experience there was none of that.
I also had a student who's dad had a cushy government job that he lost because they wanted a second child.
This is awesome. Unfortunately my handwriting is terrible.
