Yemen blockade continues

dimanche 10 décembre 2017 à 01:00

The International Rescue Committee: Salafi Arabia and its "coalition" (including the US) are still blockading Yemen.

The troll publicly called on Salafi Arabia to end the blockade of Yemen, but if he were serious about this he could just pull out of that "coalition" and make it end.

Housing fire aftermath

dimanche 10 décembre 2017 à 01:00

After six months, most of the families made homeless by the housing project fire in London are still not living in permanent homes.

This is because of the UK's general policies that sell off public housing instead of building more.

Killing with permits

People with state permits to carry concealed guns have killed a substantial number of people.

Office parties

dimanche 10 décembre 2017 à 01:00

A woman writes about being groped at an office Christmas party, and how she has hated them ever since, and now is glad she can refuse to go.

I never was in a situation that compelled me to go to office holiday season parties, but I did sometimes go to them. I appreciate that they weren't designated "Christmas" parties, and sometimes I enjoyed conversing with people that were not drunk. The culture of Cambridge, Massachusetts, doesn't pressure people to get very drunk, the way it does in England.

I don't expect anyone would grope me at drunken parties, but I still find them horrid. I can't understand how anyone can stand them. I can't imagine letting other people pressure me into going to them, either. There is a limit to what I will do to "fit in" with others, a rather low limit.

I am glad the author of the article can now refuse to attend office parties, but she shouldn't have to justify or explain it either.
