  1. The way she looked at her father when he said "We will give him a good education when he is older" broke my heart. But her story is nevertheless a good one, although her life did not turn the way she probably would have chosen, it is good one.

  2. Life is so complicated. I would be happy if a bad person never did a good deed and a good person - a bad one. But sometimes is sooo not black and white. Still I think he should not have been acquitted at the trial.

  4. I so liked when the lady said "we do not do lines, but the restaurant type". It is so misunderstood that is only about being fed. Such a little thing to bring their confidence up and preserve their human dignity. So thoughtful!! Thank you all for making this movie.

  5.  @jaysunbrady  I think he did it on purpose, he saw the guy was annoyed when he got couple of things wrong at the start and then tried to make the guy angry. Probably thinking that then he would be less careful in answering. I do not know if that is what you should do, but he was put on the spot and tired something at least.

  6. No one thinks growing up in an orphanage is great. To tell you the truth I was amazed even by what they showed in the video, for example growing so many flowers (and other plants) is a hard work and all of it done by the kids! Plus the cleaning, washing, heating ... amazing really.

  7. That is so interesting. In my country also strong kids would many times protect younger one, or girls etc.. from bulling. It was understood to be a heroic behaviour, exactly "macho" thing. The assumption was exactly as you put it "bullies are cowards". Bulling (mostly seen in movies) in American schools was very strange thing to behold.

  8.  @vanshajsharma62  I wonder how many rapes are not reported in your country. Something tells me that only the worst cases end up being reported. That said, I would bet that knowing the country and culture could save you from being raped and it is really a stupid reason not to visit a country.

  9. May be society should stop pushing people beyond their breaking point. Good for you that you are so tough, this is to be respected.

  10. I have to say that I am amazed and grateful to all those Americans that stands against Trump now. Grateful, because they do participate in the fight against oppression, amazed, since there are a lot of those that dare to. Despite all the changes in that country, it is still one of the few where people will not mistakenly identify the country with the current government. Look for example at Russia - there were some small attempts to protest, then everyone fell in line. "THE STATE CANNOT BE WRONG" is what they believe there and in many other countries. This is why I am so encouraged to see so much opposition - just couple of days ago two of the republicans supreme judges voted against - judges he appointed himself! I am happy that the spirit of democracy and freedom is so difficult to be extinguished, and thank you for the support.

  11. You are so right about the big division workers/capitalist. But sadly it is not so simple, because there is such a big difference between, for example, a part-time minimum wage worker and a tenure-track professor in MIT. They are in fact both working class, since the moment something happens - for example the professor get seriously ill, they will end up in the same circumstances, since both have to work for their money. But still, the live one can afford, as long as nothing major happens, is so much better than the other, that they cannot feel belonging to the same side. My husband is a professor (not MIT), he forever feels that he is a working class member and one time he mentioned that to friends of ours. The friends were almost outraged that he wanted to "insert" himself in the working class, as they were at that time working in a factory and it was apparently awful experience. It was so funny and sad at the same time. But that made me see why this question is so complicated. All that said, I love the way you simplify and explain the matter.
    10
  12. Now, I did not get the impression from the video that this is happening all over your country. My impression is that this will be true for small villages where people are very poor and uneducated. But I would suspect that does not matter what the law says, those traditions are very difficult to uproot. Also you say "it's very rare to see girls getting married early that too without the consent of the girl", as if she is free in her choice. She was not, she was pressured by customs and society into "accepting her fate". I actually do admire her for that and do understand that in some situations it is the right choice. She does love her family, she brought them a lot of happiness by giving birth to a grandson and she is content, even happy in her life. But you can still feel that she has also the understanding of missing something in life, by agreeing to go this way. It is a biter-sweet story that shows us the reality for so many poor girls.

  13.  @IceLynne  That is also so true. We had a bad credit score when we decide to move, not realizing how difficult that will be. Lucky for us, as we rented our old place for more than 3 years, they took us back without checking out credit score. We were both working (me and my husband) and he was getting more that good salary. It was crazy! I was joking that I will buy a tent, but is was not a very funny joke.

  14. Her story is heartbreaking. I am also fascinated how even to this day she finds excuses for them - girl, your parents were evil, it is not because of the culture. The culture will contribute, but what she describes is not normal in any culture - I am so sorry girl, you simply pulled the short stick with those trashy parents.

  15.  @LloydGP888  Well, Canada is right now threatened by another country. Alberta is not an independent nation, If the nation will not unite, it will loose the war and then it will be up to the winner to decide what will be done with everything in the country. This will include the oil of the so called Alberta, which will be now essentially a colony to the winner.
    7
  16. Yes, and Canada is one of those, so we are in a dangerous situation. Do you think the USA will prefer to buy them, or take them for free? I do not know, but I am not putting it beyond them.

  17.  @PAPSN  We must have watched a different videos. There was no point at which they were not touching him. He was at arms length all the time, that how the stabbings occurred. And no, they are not helpless kids calling for help.

  18. It is so sad that religions try to control the thing that cannot be controlled - what is happening in a person's head. Even if her husband is surrounded by fully covered "hidgabed" women, he is a real human being, he can and will fantasize. We (as human beings) should not be shamed or punished for our thoughts, as long as they do not turn into actions. Even if a person feels certain desires, the fact that he can dismiss them is the important one. I hope in time Islam, the same way as Christianity, will lower the expectations towards his followers, as those expectations create so much suffering.

  19. Yes, she should really show her respect, or he could look for that elsewhere.

  21. I would wonder then why the hotel people did not advise him about the local night live, as it would be natural to want to help tourists have a good time, if you are on the tourist business. There must be something they have in mind in order to lock him up in the room.
    5
  22.  @Don_ECHOguy  I hope so, as when a country is attacked the unity is a very important thing. She is acting inappropriately, as the question is not only the tariffs.

  23. I do not see why you consider the lowest the worst. As the video said the pressure on both sides is the same (due to the wholes). I would assume being at the lowest position would give it a better chance to be pushed downwards (e.g. into the ground) if explosion happens.

  24. There are couple of things for me in true crime stories: 1) I fell so "protected" behind my laptop and my life - so much better for not having that in it. 2) Some of them include very interesting science - the "Forensic files" show was incredible. 3) They are puzzles solved in front of your eyes, it is very engaging.

  25. I am very happy that people notice the power misbalance. She was only 17 when he marries her, that is not sweet, that is creepy . He was in love wit her, OK, but was She? And the narrator mentioning her "stipend"all the time - was she his wife after all, or simply a supported woman? Who gives "stipend" to his wife, do people do that? He was talking to his mother about "saving those girls" - well, saving by marrying her and making right away couple of kids while the girl is only 17, instead of sending her first to school, does not look like saving to me. But what do I know, being a woman in an 3-rd world country.

  26.  @ToqaTaha-pv8dw  I see, all is great in this part of the world: everyone can wear whatever they want, marry whomever they want, go and do whatever they want, muslims, christian, jews, armenians etc.. live happy next to each other..., no wonder so many europeans are trying to reach that land of peace and plenty and get the refugees status there.

  27. Oh, it makes total sense on me. I have been fired up by really small things. I bet it was n ot simply asking, I bet there were comments exchanged.

  28. If the USA is not sovereign who is. Here you are - one million army, nuclear weapons etc... and now going around telling who is your 51-st state, whom the Panama canal belong, what should Greenland join ... and wondering at their reaction. You must understand that it is not about whom you elect, but whom you (not personally, but your government) threatened.

  29. The explosions will be due to the poor material not withstanding the pressure of the gas in the cylinder and since the piston has holes in it, the pressure is equal on both sides (I think if it was dues to force acting on the piston, that force is upward and we will see the explosion directed more upwards than in all directions ). The lowest position of the the piston looks better, since there is bigger chance the piston to be pushed downwards: imagine a force pushing on the wall of the cylinder. If the piston is at the bottom wall of the cylinder that force will push it towards the floor, if the piston is up, the force will be pushing it up.

  30. You are so much not understanding the game. He/they are not doing that because of some unfair treatment, but to get moire money for themselves for free, no matter what the other countries are doing. Just like the (non-existent) flow of fantail from Canada excuse.

  31. You did not stop laughing. I think this is very disrespectful. But what do americans know about respect. You are the same as your current president.

  33. Those are crazy people. This is my cat's behaviour, but so many times he would get too exited by it and bite my leg. If that lion gets exited, even a small friendly swap with the paw can take away half human face - crazy, I am telling you, they are crazy.

  34.  @FulltimeDuddooScene  Yes, it was all for show. But it does not mean that it does not happen sometimes for real and apparently the authorities do not care if it is prearranged or not. In Bulgarian weddings there are some similar theatrics, only not so big. For example the male relatives of the bride pretend not to allow the groom to enter trough the door and he either has to "pay" his way in, or gather friend and "push" trough the door. But in previous centuries there was a tradition when girls got stolen, if they did not want to marry.

  35. Do not focus on the "top-ness" of the university (and all their un-transparent criteria for choosing their students.) If you work towards getting the skills you will need, does not matter which university you have finished. What matters at the end is what you can do and what you know, and that is what will lead to a fulfilling life.
    3
  36.  @shamaradanielson1945  Girl, what you are saying and what you are doing must be in accord. The guy called "get away" and then touched him. And I am happy that yours got over those dangerous years, but people should not bend over and allow teens go berserk only because they are teens. Both parties were acting insanely stupid and sometimes stupid is punished. I would say those "kids" won the Darwinian award.

  37. Finally she said Canadians, not Albertans. Small victory.

  39. People will never see what they would not like to see. I grew up in a communist country, we did not have homelessness, but my relatives and their friends would all the time talk how much better is "there" (on the other side of the iron curtain). When I was 5th grade it was the first time I was in a capitalist country (Morocco) and I cannot describe the feeling when I saw people going trough the garbage cans. I had no idea what they were gathering, but simply the idea that a human being can fall to such a state was incomprehensible. After that, no amount of talking could convince me that "they are living better than us". Kids have such simple minds.

  40. I find very strange how people feel it is Ok to ask what I consider to be personal questions to someone that they are not really close to, and "why do you work this and that" is one of those questions. Stop it, it is not your business, it is not friendly, it is the opposite of that, no matter "good intentions".

  41. My favourite book was "The three musketeers", exactly because of the friendships there.

  42. I am not sure who took advantage of whom. 400 dollars, and this is a reason for criminal charges? I saw a lonely woman (Kathy) that bought herself a family. I do not want to judge too harshly though, as Delena could have kept her son - nobody can make you give away your child, if you do not decide to do so. What I see is that hey managed to make it work, and this is all that matters. Life is complicated.

  43. I do not think it will work.

  44.  @lameh6  Different countries have different ways of life (and all that this involves), and we should not impose to everyone our own values, since it will not work. Their society has to evolve naturally to whatever they want it to. She is happy, as they are treating her well and in such cases that is the most important thing.
    3
  45.  @KyleEvra5  Yes, I agree with that. But girls can have such a bad life there that not being beaten, foe example, is a win for her. Again, did you see how they lived - those are people in extreme poverty, I do not feel it is right to judge them. We saw her father asking the in-laws to let her continue her education. I am sure he would have preferred that, given the option. There is a lot of misery around the world and the only way to end it is by advocating and helping people out of poverty, not impose our western cultural norms to them.

  46. @Flavor_Flav I guess the question is does Alberta want to stay in Canada. I am curious to see the results of this election, as this will show how committed this country is to stay independent.

  47.  @RR-pc7yv  If you want to believe that, go on, nobody is stopping you. If you want others to believe it - better listen to your own women. There is no stereotyping and generalizing, there is the fact that this is not a safe country for women in many ways that one. And then, you may want ot check the dictionary before using words you do not know the meaning to.

  48. They think their kids do not eat so much. Did you see the size of the potato for the 4 year old? Do you know how much a healthy 4 year old will eat from that? My daughter will barely finish 1/2 of it. There it is - if at every meal you take two time what you need.... you will end up soon overweight. My husband is overweight and according to him he constantly starves himself. But if he really counts the amount of food he takes - for example after dinner he constantly "snacks", making at the end of the evening a second full dinner, but he never notices that (and I have mentioned it once, but after the reaction I received, never again, still sometimes he "wonders" why he is not losing weight).
    3
  49. Some things e may not notice, but there is a limit. I may not know when exactly horses were domesticated, but mixing the giant birds that were living 50 000 years ago, or who does not know that corn, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes,... were brought from the Americas after Columbus? And once we started talking with my family about that, we suddenly realized that those seeds could not have looked like the now days seeds, so yes.... people will notice much more than you would think.

  51. They could have organized their life better, but I think the guy was no much help and she was looking for a job that will pay more than the minimal wage. If you noticed their biggest problem started when the landlord did not hold his end to the deal. They were on the brick of drowning and he simply pushed their hands under and held. Cold.

  57. I am yet 1/3 trough, so I am not sure if you will talk about that, but I would like to mention that for women the sexual act carries always some violence, as it is a foreign object entering your body. You may agree to it, even want it (god forbid😄), but it looks physically as an assault to your body. This fact have to complicate the feelings toward sex.

  58. Here is what I see - the USA gave up on being an empire, but it has to get its resources from somewhere. Up to now the world was feeding them. From now on, their influence shrinks to the two Americas (North and possibly South), but it will be more direct, e.g they will not longer "protect" in order to get what they want, but will straight take what they want. Sadly, we Canadians, are on the continent of North America.

  59.  @theaegisgundamz  Well, even if it was illegal, I was not on the edge of my seat to see the "masters" going to prison. My point being even if a law is passed, if no one observes it, what is the point.
    2
  60. I am not sure how poor they were. Her father was said to have gathered enough dory to marry her off. If they are so poor, how could that happen. I feel it will be more the societal pressure. And you are right, in rural area, where the population is not as educated this pressure will be stronger.

  61. Please, there is no need to sleep in the same bed with a 10 year old to be his confidate, supporter and loving father figure.... This is way beyond wired and as Dr.Grande points out was normalized only because he was so famous and wealthy. What he did or not (I mean did something happened or not) we will never now, but he was a pedophile. There are pedophiles that never act on their feelings.

  62. I do not see people retreating from him. the stupid girl looks likes cannot believe at the blood she sees, but then looks like she is ready to go towards him. Till the end they did not stop touching him. Those people were crazy. Or drunk and that makes you stupid.

  63. Listening to her brings so much of my own mother talking. I mean the way she does it, you are so correct, that woman does not want to see the reality, she lives in her own world where what the truth is does not matter. The same with my mother. I have tried couple of times to bring her to seeing some things, but to no avail, it does not work. But with such a mother I could see how things could go wrong, thank god I am not buying it. Also, due to her delusions, this mother could be very critical even toward her own son (we do not see it here, but believe me, it happens) in a very passive-aggressive kind of way.

  64. Keep strong, for the sake of you family. It will not last forever, although now you may think that. Bad things happen, but also good things happen. And if you have to lie how many kids you have in order to get a house, do not even blink.

  65.  @charlessmith4242  Now that you mention it, it makes so much sense. He wants to go inside, hence the clawing. If it is a wild animal he will not feel safe and what to do into houses. Another possibility is sickness of some kind, like rabies. Either way, it is terrifying, only a flimsy door away from an angry cougar. I hope no other death to follow and that they can save the animal.
    2
  66.  @WildKat25  What about the clawing at the door. A cat (ha-ha, larger too) will claw at a door like that if wants to enter the place. You tell me that an animal that was not raised (at least at some point) indoors, wants to enter the house? No way. It may be a sick one - that is the only other possibility I see.

  67. I am not sure that is true. The girl said that her mother gets very angry if somebody touches her. If she had such a plan she could start selling her now, probably for more money than in the future.

  68. The guy said that it is written in the Quran that a "Muslim woman cannot marry non-muslim man" and the movie was actually about that more than anything else. As for which religions is the kindest one - they are ALL very kind on paper, but when you look at what they have brought - killings, wars, exterminations, etc... so for me religion, as is practiced in society, is simply one more way to divide people,.. as if we need more ways to do so.

  69. That is so coldhearted, but when he said the guy was taken to the hospital I was in fear he survived.

  70.  @harshtimes23  Well, he did not say he believed her, but that is was good for her case to give an explanation, so no he was not "duped".

  72.  @distanttraveler6531  He was clearly not (as he said he would have voted conservative), but he understands that being a USA colony will not be better. And this is where Canada is heading, if it does not unite. She never said Canadians, not a single time, only Albertans. If you think Albertans will be better as an USA colony, you should sure vote for the conservatives.

  73.  @shamaradanielson1945  I am not commenting on his behaviour, as I do not think he will loose as much, even if he is sentenced, as the guy that died. I was simply baffled how the crowd around did not realize the danger of the situation for,... I feel as forever. Armed with a knife man at an arms reach - this SCREAMS "life danger". It must have been the alcohol, that can make you reckless/inadequate in your responses. As to who was at fault - difficult for me to decide. On one hand you have some 5-6 bullies taunting someone, on the other hand there was an overreaction of attacking with a deadly weapon. Of course there are many polarized opinions, as usually in such cases. I was more pointing out that after all is said and done the boy will still be alive if he simply ran/stayed away. After all he was not chasing after them with intent to stab them.
    2
  74. And you do not seem to understand what the movie is saying. The fact that one couple was successful is irrelevant, the statistic is showing such early marriages are devastating for most of the couples. It is not about marring for love, it is about marring later.

  75. I think it was obvious even at the start (when the babies were born) that in Bolivia the things are better. She had a doctor and a hospital that looked like one at the delivery of her kid. Being poor and living in poverty is not the same. When access to healthcare and education is not available it is poverty from which you cannot recover.
    2
  76. I did not see any attempts for kidnapping. There were a lot of boys, relatively big ones, difficult to drag into a car. Also the guy chasing the boy - his face was not covered, he will be seen and recognized. This story is phoney, the family wanted a bit of fame I guess. Kidnaping does not happen like this, there is another explanation. Throwing rocks on cars is pretty convincing (someone mentioned in the comments).

  79. When you have not fridge or it is too small to put the cooked meal in, you usually cook for one meal. There was no much leftovers to be eaten, back when we did not have bug fridges. Also with a turkey is totally possible, since the bird is so big, to be not well cooked only at certain parts, and then it happens only some of the guests to get sick, the ones that have eaten the not well heated parts. Probably this was the case of the girl - bad luck.

  80.  @StevenJohn91  Exactly. There are so many things you can talk about without being intrusive. I remember a lady janitor in my workplace that we started talking with on a permanent basis. We really talked about any king of stuff, not only superficial stuff, but life in general. At the end I knew about her son, she knew where I am from, etc.. but it never felt appropriate to ask her why she works this. There are many reasons a person would stay at a particular job and I really do not need to know them.
    2
  81. I am appalled by the american journalists. The way they both were talking about it is implying that Canada (e.g. we, as I am Canadian) are starting war against them. Justin said it as it is - the war was started by USA. But apparently, if Ukraine could be the aggressor 😁(repeated many times over now by the American propagandists), so are we.

  82. Also investing in a falling empire (e.g. USA) is a bad investment.

  84.  @emerislinmer  That was like a low of nature - back in my poem country when I was a kid people travelling in trains (the most common mode of transportation then) would strike a conversation right away. That was especially common between elderly women - at the end of the trip they will know all about their kids and grandkids etc.. and also the other people in the compartment, which, if young will not take much part into the conversation, but keep to themselves. As a kid I loved those elderly ladies - they made the trip seems too short with their stories. I know this is not making friends, as they will probably never see each other again, but my god... it helped so much to feel that there are other people on that planet that are the same as you.

  85. I do not know why you are laughing. Canada is no match to the USA military and we have a lot of things the USA would like to have for free. You are a moron to laugh on that, but again, you are on the other side of the border.

  86.  @Sally-b1p  Nothing can be gained by talking to Trump. But you will see, when she returns with nothing but be made fun by Shapiro. We saw already what Ford accomplished by going there - what exactly did he say "things are simmering slowly". HA-ha-ha.
    2
  87.  @DrRyan82994  Destroying had already be tried - with disastrous result. 45 years later, practically one generation later, the power had turned back to those with the money, simply the people with the money had changed. My only hope is slow evolution of new morality - we changed our view for so many things: now new, less destructive technologies are developing, recycling, thinking more about concerving nature... so I would hope such evolution could happen in peoples behaviour. If we do not change how will our society change.

  88. When I red "should have been able to end better" I though - if it was a movie it would - the business of the Stanley's will probably succeed, the other family will stay together and keep the house. I feel they deserve it, but will never get it in real life.

  90.  @RR-pc7yv  What does the conviction rate has to do with the reported cases? You can see many Indian women in the comments below admitting not feeling safe in their own country. Do you wan to convince me otherwise. Because you could not. Talk to your fellow countrywomen.
    2
  91. I do that a lot, consciously, especially if the person I am talking with experienced something bad/disturbing. I do it because if I am in their shoes it will be a relive to hear other people have similar problems (this had always helped me). But now I see that it could be taken the wrong way, since people are different. How funny, since sometimes I would go to lengths, or even make up something similar, in order to "relive" them...

  94. I want to say that this is a very good analysis. I have noticed (when first arrived) the division in american society, probably because, as a person from outside, some things are more obvious than to people brought up in that society. Believe it or not, it is not like this everywhere.

  98. I am not convinced she is the one to kill the girl. May be they needed to investigate more, instead of pressuring her into nonsense talking. If you never seen a police interview you will be sure she is guilty, because of the 4 different versions she gave. Well, tell you what - go sit in that room for more than 10 hours, listen to people saying something like" "You got angry, I understand, its normal. May be you slapped her once, two days ago..." - you will be amazed how many people at the end will "confess". She was probably mistreating the girl, but that is not killing her. Were there old bruises, could they have been from both of them, why did they believe one of the doctors and not the other... all good questions. Dr. Grande, I think here you are underestimating the state to which a person could be driven in interrogation and also how his words could be taken out of context. The case is about did she kill the girl, not did she hit her a week ago.

  101. The things with the lady in Sweden were really strange. First of all babies do not "drop" like they "explained", except if this is not her first child. Then, not wanting ti talk was strange, explaining that with her husband "forbidding" her sound made up or that he is abusive. Both cases - the things are not rosy in Sweden, so I do not agree with the conclusion, we do not know what is happening in the kid live.

  103. First: in the video there was no "outrage" and passengers called "selfish", so shame for the title. Second: when an accident occurs, non-trained people are really disoriented, not sure what to do. It is difficult to explain, but you heard what some of them carried - water bottles and neck pillows - they were simply hanging to them without even realizing, so I would say it is good to remind them to leave everything in a clam voice, during the evacuation. It is also good, with a videos like this, to speed the knowledge what to do in such a case - the time to learn that is before something happens. But to use it as a click bait is not so good.

  104. As long as Trump continues with the annexation threats, seems to me people will not vote conservative. Also, seeing the situation the republicans created across the border pulls away a lot of voters from "our republicans". A recession is most probably coming, you do not want conservatives during a recession - they support entrepreneurs and investment (theoretically), but there will be not much of that in the foreseeable future.

  108. I did think a lot about the difference between capitalism and communism, since I grew up in a communist country, on the other side of the iron curtain. Communism did not exactly "fail", since it was destroyed from the top, not from the bottom. Power could come in many forms, in capitalism it comes from money. In communism it was built into the party and the repressive apparatus. But even in our society a worker was never equal to a doctor, for example. Is there any better way - I hope there is, the failure of that society does not prove (for me) that better way society cannot exist (as many want us to believe now). It prove simply that this was not the way.

  117. I am happy to hear you talk about that. As a mother of a young boy that concerns me too. Only we are on the other side of the border. Will the USA army follow an attack order, should Canada rests or not... after all our army is 60 thousand and the USA - a million, not to mention the nuclear weapons. If it means the lives of my kids, do I want us to resist? Hypothetically I would like to at least fight back, I could even give my life for my country, but then what about my kids lives. It is a damn hard question and I hope never to be tested in real life. Still, I thing it is useful to talk and think about it, as I see that one way to possibly avoid it.

  124. I am sorry for his experience, not everyone is cut to be a landlord and sometimes you can be very unlucky. But I have seen people getting quite reach from renting. They started with one small building, ended up with couple of building (in Saskatchewan) and did very well for themselves. They did have many types of renters (there will always be problematic tenant), but the loss of some money did not put much of a dip in their income. Bottom line - it will be quite profitable if you are somewhat lucky and know how to do it. Their main thing was they were very handy, so did almost all the work on the properties by themselves. That cut a lot of cost.

  125. Many of the arrests were done to people wearing the checkered scarfs, symbol of the Palestinians, so I really wonder if finally the authorities payed attention to the troubles of the average German, or there is something else here. From my experience it will be the second. A few other thoughts: how can a muslim embrace the "constitutional values of Germany", since if he/she have to put before anything else the will of Allah and in this will there is no "German constitution". Also I cannot but sympathize the Palestinians - I would think I will be out there too, if someone (let's say Turkey) invaded parts of Bulgaria and are killing bulgarians left and right, while Europe is "calling of peace" in words only.

It will survive the antivaxers too. Only the price that will be payed in human lives...

Some mentioned drugs, may be, but it looks to me more like a mental issue and those people being fast to judge. Once you're down (depression or whatnot) and it is not treated it is a nightmare.

  138.  @jayc5373  No, they did not. At the end they decided to invade only USRR. There is no "second turning point", the turning point is one. Look at the casualties - 20 million soviet soldiers, 1 million resistance fighters in Ugoslavia only,... and then look at the USA/Canada combined. Cities ruined to the ground and they did not stop talking about Pearl Harbor! The truth is the war was won by the soviet people. Only in year 42 two thousand airplanes are produced and many more rocket launchers, the famous Katyusha. The allies made their Normandy decent only when faced with the possibly Germany to be overtaken "by the communist". And they do not even acknowledge the Russians contribution in the last celebration of the victory... shame. I am not saying that your grandfather decision to engage in a war that was way across the ocean is not admirable. We are all given one life, so I do acclaim all that choose to fight for their ideas, but overplaying the role of certain countries is not fair to the memory of all that fought.

Also why is she complaining to the canadians, that is what the americans charged her. In 2003 our weekly budget was 60$ (americans) and when we moved to Canada it become 80$ (canadian). We were buying the same things and in the cheapest possible stores, so not that big of a difference.

  142. You are so right, it is funny now, but back when I was young mother - you need support to keep breastfeeding! The bottle is so much easier in many ways - some babies are a bit "lazy" at the beginning and apparently getting milk from the bottle is easier; you cannot see how much the baby had eaten and you may worry and so on... I had a doctor that tried to really keep me going and when I look back, his insistence that is important to breastfeed is what made me to not give up. Trying to breastfeed and having a person constantly reminding you how much "easier" will be with a bottle sound like a nightmare. I hope now, when the knowledge is spreading, the madness of bottle feeding will die out even with mothers in poor countries.

  143. For a parent every sickness is scary, for a child not at all, so you were not afraid because you were too young to be afraid, not because there was no vaccine. Then, when you grew up, you started to be afraid, not because there was a vaccine, but because you knew what could happen. For a kid nothing bad could happen ever.

  146. I heard about how bad it had become when the manufacturing companies started moving to cheap labour markets, but did not realize how much better those jobs were. The men said they were making 18 - 20 $ per hours plus benefits. 20 years later they are happy to make 10 - 15$ per our, no benefit!. So back then even working class families get by normally, the neighbourhoods were not disintegrating, life was full of hope for the majority of people. I just wonder did those companies realized what kind of devastation will follow and did they do it for some more money (for their shareholders) or were they really struggling and going bankrupt? And if they did it simply to enrich themselves are those shareholders happy to live in a city/country that is plunged in poverty and crime and unhappiness? Do they think it was worth it?

  158. I sadly think those (not only the 51st state but Panama and Greenland) were not personal "whims" of Trump, but the direction of the new foreign politics of the USA. It is true that Canada benefited from its relationship with the USA - the USA is an enormous market, right next door - no big transportation costs, no language barriers etc..., but it was a good deal for the USA too - relatively cheap and reliable resources. The thing is that they no longer want to pay for it and if the economic pressure does not give the desired result what will they do? Leave us alone? It is not Trump - it is the republican party itself, I hope not in cahoots with the liberals, since then there is no escape.

  159. I totally understand your point. That said, movies should not be taken as an historical truth and what an actress said about history should not be paid so much attention. You have very good points here, but I would like to ask is that the first time this series misrepresent history? I personally watched Vikings (the original TV show depicting Ragnar) and my question is: How realistically you find that an 8th century viking king will be made addicted to opium, brought by one of his asian slaves (as if back then they had the destilling technology that will produce a concentrate to be easily transported and potent enough to feed the habit for months). Yes, theoretically it could happen, no it is not likely at all. Is that not as unbelievable as a black woman earl? For me is worse, since it destroyed Ragnar's character, he would never abandon his family, if not a drug addict, and they needed an age gap for some reason (I was so angry, that I started a fanfiction to "right the wrong"). My point being, writers always do that, but when it is about something else than the race/gender people seems to not notice. The stories we tell, even the historical ones, are saying much more about our time, than the times long past. Focusing on this particular misrepresentation (by both sides) shows that we have invested interest in that question nowadays, in today's society. If the argument was not actually about today's society, we would simply wave a hand and allow it as "a writer's choice", same as we allow that in one of the Shakespeare's very famous plays.

  161. Do not get discouraged, Trump is digging his own grave. Promises are great, and for now he gets the benefit of the doubt, but he cannot deliver. I have fate in the American people. They are not like the Russians, they will never accept to endure poverty and hard times in the name of the state and for "building the future" (popular slogan in the USRR). He and his cohort do not know how the real world works, any single policy they make - from cutting USAID (an agency USA farmers relied to buy their production) to imposing tariffs to everyone (you can use tariffs sparingly, for some strategic things, but not like "mass tariffing" he does), to the new order for ship exports (do not ask me why I now know how things are transported overseas).... everything is going down. In other words, not need for the Democrats to do anything, he will destroy himself.

The way it is described - the fetus being out on the ground, etc..., shows he was making a point, kind of double revenge. I think many of us forget that people can break, if you apply too much pressure on them and then things go south.... while looking back you see the point where things could have been salvaged - honour his grief, admit fault, ask for forgiveness, or be punished by your peers(e.g. referring to the court case he filed), but nothing of that was done and the guy broke.

  174. Canada was taking a lot of immigrants, but if you see what those immigrants have to pass trough (my family being one of those) you will realize that they pick their immigrants carefully, gathering practically the "top" people from everywhere - well educated, knowing the language (English or french), usually with kids and with no health problems and on top of that, arriving with initial funds of (back then) 20 000$, for their first 6 month expenses. So you see, those are different type of immigrants, so may be Sweden should start applying similar policies.

  175.  @MoonPhantom  I believe that is correct. I believe also that as a country that was ethnically and religiously very coherent, it was vey arrogant to think you will show to the world the right way to accept different cultures. It turns out this is not as easy and straightforward as you thought. Those people come with their own problems, mindset and ideas and letting them in and giving them money is not always the answer. As a person living in a country where we are very mixed ethnically and religiously I was tired to hear how we should starting doing things. Things that we had coped with for far longer than you (all the Nordic countries). Our ways are not very good, that is true, as people are divided, but this is a working way and dismissing it was really insulting. Now you are ready to give up after even not one whole generation of refugees. Only big words from you.

  177. I lived under a dictatorship (former communist country), so I do know that although nothing is leaked officially, there is an unstoppable spreading of rumours: people connected to the camps (guards, cooks, drivers,...) would talk to family, may be sometimes friends, although they have to be very careful, and those to other people and so on... although the regime tried to control it, it cannot be stopped. The funny thing is how different people would react to those stories: some would not believe the extent of the tortures, some would even approve of, since the prisoners are deemed "enemies of the people". And above all is the fear that some night they will knock at your door, so people are very careful to whom and what they say. But the knowledge is there. Probably it was the same in Germany. I cannot even describe to people never lived under such conditions how much everything is under censorship. My father was a journalist back then, so I do know how every printed word has to be approved "from above" and if you fear they will not allow something to be printed, you have to go look for personal connections, talk to the party functionary on many level to try and convince them to back your story up. So I am convinced they knew, at least the grown ups, and also they were simultaneously under oppression and denial. I quite see how the German nation could look at the defeat of the Nazi not as a defeat, but liberation of Germany (at least right after the end of the war).

  187. Well, finally the fall of the empire of the evil. Nobody likes you, get that in your this head. They only followed you while you provided some sort of "protection". Now go sell your F-35 to North Korea!

  188.  @Butterflies-are-free  You are so right. The USA empire is feeding from the whole world and only the stupid USA citizens did not know that 😆

  189. Such a nicely behaved kitty! And so much dedication to save his life. I hope he fully recovers. We have only one life, so nice sometimes to see the lengths to which someone will go to save a life.

  190. The girl's mother is so delusional, if she thinks she is helping her daughter with that insensitive speech of hers.

  191.  @obdxb  Don't you understand english - they take their passports away. Also being isolated does something to the human mind. Yes, there is exploitation everywhere, but the degree matter and this is beyond acceptable.

  192.  @RR-pc7yv  I wonder if you know why India is one of thy few countries where ultrasound during pregnancy is illegal. No... it must be the West family values that are in the wrong.

  193. I do not agree with the logic of the corporate taxes. Why would you lower your corporate taxes right now? In those uncertain times where will they go? America?

  194. The important question is did you vote for him in spite of all this. I realize this is a personal question, but I hope not.🙂

  195. Whatever the truth is, this is a case that shocks by the bad science, lying experts (this guy was discovered to be doing that in many other cases, basically whenever he felt that the person is guilty, but there is not enough physical evidence to convict) and the hiding of facts by police and prosecution. They were not interested to discover the truth, they were interested to convict. Exposing all of the bad characteristics of the justice system.

  196. I do not think I have ever seen such a botched police interview. He interrupts her! Who does that! He never ever puts a pressure on her! Who does that! May be they decided they cannot get them both and need the one to testify against the other, otherwise I do not see a reason for this. Or he is really and truly seriously incompetent.

  197. To tell the truth I was surprised how casually he said "usually I would ask the parents". I would assume you have to ALWAYS ask the parents.

  198. I do not know why they changed the story, but in t he book the "imagine she was white" is done during the deliberation of the jury. This speech was done by one of the jurors when he wanted to convince the others to let him with "not guilty".

  199. You are one smart lady. And simply to chime it - a revolution is actually a lot of hard work - it requires an ideology, organization, people that are so low that they do not have anything more to loose,... it is not a few people with guns storming the capitol. USA is not there yet.

  200. That is all good, I only hope he USA will not take drastic measures to secure those resources. They already threatened to add us to their "great country" and asked us to be grateful for it (did we say thank you to America? I guess not. We better do.😄)

  201. You are so right, it's getting scary to be a woman everywhere nowadays. We are walking backwards.

  202. I think the 70% was for the pakistani in Britain, e.g 70% of the British pakistani are married to a first cousin.

  203.  @pin65371  You are building it for another nation, just wait. They are coming.

  204. Not to be that person, but there are many out there that are not the fathers of the kids they believe they are. It is so sad, one of the few times I felt "not proud" to be a woman is when I learned that this is more common than we think it is. But at one point you have to ask yourself - do I want to know and does it really matters - as in his case the kids are practically grown ups.
