This kid in a Costa Rica's mall tossed his drink leaving trash and water behind, then walked off like nothing happened. They later found him and made him clean it up. Original post

Will someone please tell these people as well as those involved in rodeos, bullfights, etc. what century they’re living in??? Many will make the “tradition” argument, but it doesn’t take an encyclopedic knowledge of history to know that many “traditions” of the past have been rightfully abandoned.

Just arrived in Croatia. We’re staying at a “Luxury Suites” and you know what? Nothing says luxury suite to me like an obscured glass bathroom panel door but a gap to the side of it wide enough to slip fingers into, or spy through to see everything and therefore zero privacy at all, sonic or visual.

Pike received her death sentence in 1996 for the murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer. She herself was 18 and had endured childhood sexual abuse. After 32 years of waiting to die, she may now be living with a brain injury. Everything about this is grotesque.

Why does nobody use their handbrake any more? In a queue of 8 cars ahead of me stopped at lights I could see only one not sitting on their foot brake. If it hadn’t been for application of my handbrake many years ago, I would have had an insurance claim against me as well as the one I had to claim./1

Might have done a bit of a rant at my MP. It's quite a nice feeling actually. Give it a go.
Dear Ms Dollimore,

The recent behaviour of a mob of organised men committing acts of public disorder, crimes, inciting racist violence, and yesterday actually slashing a rubber dinghy in the Channel with two RNLI rescuers still aboard it, needs urgent, visible action from our government, and from the police.

If Palestine Action can be proscribed as a terrorist group for causing property damage, then this gang of thugs has already gone much further. Local news in Gosport (link to the story provided below my signature), reports that a child in just such a mob was singing "let them drown" over a megaphone there, yesterday.

RNLI staff are suffering horrific harassment and assaults, and in some areas no longer feel they can work at all, which endangers everyone at sea. Our ports have been vandalised at Portsmouth and Dover.

Enough is enough. We either take action, or we cede this once inclusive, secular country to the hands of a narrow group of men, the leaders of which claim to be Christian (it is no brand of Christianity I recognise), who want this island to be only for white, violent, straight men in balaclavas to do with as they see fit. This isn't a British ethos: this is the ethos of every Russian mercenary. It has been promoted and pushed and egged and funded and nurtured by social media, where the racism, the hate. the disdain for our country's values is open and constant - and which remains unregulated to the cost of us all; and by the British media, also entirely unregulated (I suppose we could crowd fund some dentures for Ofcom but I remain unconvinced that it would know what to do with them), including those parts of it which are most trusted by the British public (link to BBC article below, where the thugs are referred to as if they are ordinary protesters, and a life-threatening criminal act in the channel aqainst RNLI staff is relegated to a brief mention in paragraph 15).

We used to hear "both sides" from the news. and even then, that was an absurd position, where only one side ever provided facts, and the other only ever provided feelings. We don't hear that any more. Now we only hear one side. it is the racist. hateful side. and it is framed, always, as "legitimate concerns".

They are not legitimate. We saw no village-wide protest from Piddington, when they had 2,600 mostly white young men in those barracks, and endured crimes, including rape, associated with those men. But 1200 brown men? Suddenly that's "legitimate concerns". It isn't. It's racism.We cannot predicate the human rights of a person upon the strong feelings of a group that hates them.

That is not how human rights work ir this country, or it didn't used to be. We have done precisely this to trans people in this country - handed their harmless lives directly to the tiny, well- connected, well-funded group that hates them most. We are now normalising racism in precisely the same way. This is going to destroy our society.

What we need from the government urgently is:-
• Press regulation, sharp-eared enough to identify a dogwhistle and bold enough to call it what it is: with the good of our inclusive society at it's core and meaningful punishments
• Social media regulation: frankly X should be shut down. and the embarrassing fact that we don't want to annoy the chief nazi because he owns Starlink needs to be faced, because X's continued influence or our society must end. Facebook isn't much better: regulate them or end them.• We need clear, unequivocal statements from our PM. and from our MPs, about the fact that this is racism and terrorism. It is not "legitimate concerns".
• We need these Blackshirts and their leaders proscribed as terrorists, and sentenced accordingly
• And we need a concerted public information campaign to offset the colossal, constant untruths the press and social media have propagated: our society has hardly any crime. Refugees aren't disproportionately criminal. And tell people what benefits refugees get because it's shockingly low and people believe utter nonsense they read on Facebook. Educate people! We used to have incredibly effective public information films on prime time TV - I'm old enough to remember when drink driving went from "a bit of a laugh, ho ho ho evervone does it," to "nobody does that now" virtually overniqht, because of such a campaign.

I realise government is hard, and that our current qovernment is tasked with undoing 20 years of utter incompetence. But that must start from the basis of British values. "Respect and dignity" isn't an idea. It's an action, taken every day, it's the courage to stand up against hate, every day, and to call it what it is and to say the uncomfortable thing and sometimes, yes, the unpopular thing.

I hope that our government has this courage. I have not seen it yet,
Yours faithfully,

Why are humans such pigs? At the cinema. At our feet, where we arrived at our seat, a tray of partially-eaten nachos and 3/4 of a hot dog. I picked them up and took them out to a bin. As we left, more nachos on the floor, sauce smeared, cups left, popcorn spilled, empty boxes. People are horrible!

This echoes studies done with Monopoly players, half of whom were given a financial leg-up at start of play. Those who started at an in-game financial advantage made more money faster, were greedier and - significantly - were punitive towards those that started with nothing. Humans must do better.
