Well, I have immersed myself in the US Democratic debates...Mr. Sanders interview with Ms. Couric is very informative...Bernie for President!!
Glad that Canada has welcomed Syrian Refugees...perhaps this is what we need to show others...time for peace and love...
Lets face it...refugee fear is part of our history...fear mongering that the Republicans are spewing is wrong...the vetting process in the USA is far more intricate than they know...love Jeb's answer to accepting certain refugees...a comical dialogue from John Oliver covers some pretty good points...a good watch...Happy Thanks Giving...
Love Bill Maher and his show...rather watch this than the debate between Republicans...a show that asks pertinent questions and has a panel of politicians and other citizens that represent society...it proves that politics can be done with respect and offers a comedic element...
A very disturbing look into the homophobic attitudes in Russia...vigilante groups are thriving since Putin regards being homosexual as immoral...and enacted a new anti-gay propaganda law to silence homosexuals...
Attacking homosexuals is now a sport and often their victims are beaten and humiliated and the videos of these crimes are posted on social media...
Many vigilantes claim that homosexuals are p*dophile...giving these groups a reason for violent behaviour...
Police often turn a blind eye to such attacks on the gay community...with no support from the police or government...they live in fear...keeping their sexuality behind closed doors...
Welcome to the new era of extremism...
Finally after being banned...it is now accessible for people to watch...the story of a female medical student brutally raped and killed by men...sadly women are still treated as sub-human in this country...no celebrations are done when a female child is born...and rape according to one of the guilty party...he said a woman is more responsible for a rape than a man...unbelievable to fathom a comment coming from another human being...but incredulously the government decided to ban this documentary...
This documentary is about how female children are routinely killed in the rural parts of India...female infanticide is a product of being poor...unfortunately this practice is upsetting the natural balance of the ratio of males and females...although it is against the law...this abuse still happens...and the mothers are blamed and chastised...
Despite the ban on ultra sound...finding out the child's sex before birth...many private clinics offer this service...
The dowry is also banned but unfortunately people still follow such traditions...another reason why female children are not wanted...and treated so poorly...what are your thoughts...
An very interesting documentary about the problems of a category 5 hurricane and the infrastructure designed to keep the water out...the levies were only built with a category 3 in mind...another problem was the destruction of wet lands due to the infrastructure...taking away a natural phenomenon of absorbing water when storms of this nature hit land...
Should the city New Orleans be rebuilt or become vacant?...
A very interesting documentary that delves into the world of psychopaths...although a good percentage of psychopaths are in prison...some are successful psychopaths...they blend well into society and use their talents to gain wealth and power at the expense of others...whether in the boardroom or in relationships...master manipulators...what are your thoughts?...
This is documentary is about the veil worn by women of the Muslim faith...not too long ago this woman called N.S. was asked to remove the niqab in court...even the Prime Minister became involved...does she have the right to practice face covering here in Canada when it comes to court proceeding and citizenship?...is this really about feminism...ensuring that women are equal and not subservient...or is it more about being fearful of Muslims since ISIS made its presence known...here is this young woman's perspective on it and the battle in court for her to continue wearing her niqab...
What are your thoughts?...
Growing up in the seventies...I listened to various musicians...but the one that stuck in my mind was a country singer...Glen Campbell...now in the stages of Alzheimers disease...such a talent...a tribute to his music...
This is a story about a girl being abused...she grew up as an Independent Fundamentalist Baptist...women and girls are of the lowest rung...men are king...here is her story...
