  3. True! I think it was the Mongols or some people like that who invented yoghurt..

  4. There have been SO many abusive institutions in the US like that... Some they even farmed out abroad, to the Caribbean or Eastern Europe. The Czech government had to close down at least one like that!

  5. Thank you! 🙂👍 I have a recommendation too: there is a webcomic called elan * school! (YouTube won't let me put "dot" so I put asterisk! 🙂)

  9. Sigh. I really don't know what to comment to this stupid video, which tells me a "fact" that I never really wished to know in the first place... it's true I didn't know that the law on this subject had changed in 2022, because I was about to point out that it has been legal in this country for many years, for 16 and 17 year olds to marry with the permission of their parent(s) or guardian. That age group is a minor age group - but are they children? I think not! (And neither does the justice system, if the "children" happen to commit offences.) Personally, I am against law changes for stupid "politically correct" reasons. I suspect this entire law change in the UK, was got up by middle-class white do-gooders under the excuse (though they'd never frame it exactly this way!) that it was something that was "bad for brown people". That stigmatised young marriages, including love marriages, as something that "only ignorant people of other races" do! Newsflash: WHITE people (a small proportion of them) have been doing this for many years in the UK without issue. In fact, a good few years ago I watched a documentary about such a love match between two young people decades ago, who had to go to court to confirm it or something like that, because their parents wouldn't. They did OK. What a fuss about nothing! 🙄

  11. Not true!! Though I see you did mention the few who survived. Usually this is done by going into or being put into a coma. You can, indeed must, get an immunisation injection after you have bitten by an animal suspected of having rabies. And then you will be OK. I have also heard of Ayurvedic preparations that *do*, reputedly work. You do not necessarily have to know what causes a disease, to find an effective treatment.

  12. And you have to also take into account, that this was cruel to the animals, as well! 😡 Indeed the demand for "beasts for the arena", made lions, bears, and other such creatures extinct, or near extinct, in Northern Africa, which was the nearest place for them to get them from. I don't know about lead poisoning, but it seems to me that all governments, even today, tend to be somewhat sadistic. 😏 Personally, I think I'd prefer the leather bag/river treatment. 😏 If you managed to conceal a knife, you could escape, Count Of Monte Cristo style. And if you got to the bank, and ran out of the city (or were swept outside of it), and were never so stupid as to go back there, *they'd never know*. Bet lots of people did just that! 🙂 Hmm. Well Julius Caesar certainly gave the European colonialists and anti-Native-American genocidalists some inspiration, didn't they? This "enemy of the state" thing. The US government does similar today: viz. Julian Assange. 😏 And if they think you have anything to do with drugs, the US government will use THAT to confiscate your property, as various writers have pointed out.

  13. ​@vulcanfeline Americans have both a propensity for, and a weakness towards, cults. Look at Scientology.

  15. ​ @angiep2229 No. It's a money making scam, all done on the cheap, like most cults.

  16. How come (as many videos on Youtube state) that in the US in the 1950s, obesity was much less prevalent, even though that is when this "food pyramid" was promoted, and the calorie requirements for your average male was 3000 calories per day?? 😏 And I've seen the picture at the front of one of Bill Bryson's books, showing what your average American family of four ate in a year in the 1950s. It sure was a mountain of food! There HAS to be something else going on here... Chemicals in the environment, or something. Maybe more processed food. (But isn't even canned food, processed food? 🤔) Re dairy: If you are European or African, you are likely not lactose intolerant. If you are Asian you may well be.

  17. @Incomudro1963  I heard that it was in the US in the 1950s.. Of course, I suppose it depends how much manual labour you do.. White collar vs blue collar..

  23. ​@MNanme1z4xs They could make public information films and broadcast them in places like India, Brazil and Kenya.. Plus kids' cartoons mentioning the dangers of radiation: a free comic book to be distributed to kids... Christians can do that for their propaganda: why can't government safety agencies?

  27. When are you going to mention the illegal forced boxing matches, during which at least one kid was killed?

  29. But what is "a child"? In any society, post puberty? Children seem to want to grow up faster and faster in the West (WHY all the sexualised adverts and pop music then? 😏 Does one have to be Muslim to point this out?) So why not let them? Mind you, some people still think they're kids when they're at college.. 😏

  33. ​ @annmareeofoz Yes: and it's only when SHE spoke out, that the "troubled teen industry" really got criticised in the mainstream media, bar a few newspaper articles. The storm lived exclusively on message boards for YEARS before that! Oh - and have you ever read thestraights website? It's still findable online.. 🙂

  38. And because they didn't succeed, in this totally unhelpful to the victims scheme (they would have done a lot better to accept more German and Polish Jewish immigrants to Palestine before the war 😏) No doubt these same type of Israelis who think like this, because of the failure of their initial spite, have been venting their spite on the Palestinians ever since. 😏
