Makes you wonder if the Ottomans just could've run a better country and picked the correct side in WW1 that all of this never would've happened in the first place. Dumb Ottomans.

Why medical records should contain a person's real gender and not their fantasy gender.
So, do we use accurate genders in medical records or ask every man that comes in if they're pregnant whenever it might be relevant because tolerance?

From the land of the high speed pursuit comes another doozy. Good news is the dogs are going to recover, even the one at the end who went through the front of the RV, into a tree, and came out with the heavy limp and bleeding profusely. The one who jumped out earlier is supposedly 100%. Fucking cunt needs to see significant jail time after the meth wears off.

Good about the dogs, but any news on the driver in the black car the RV demolished? Hopefully they were uninjured but damn, that was brutal.

edit: seems the woman she hit was ok.

You know I am a "it's just an animal" guy. But I heard something on NPR yesterday that is a bit much. It was this guy talking about tiger farms. People breed tigers in captivity and show them until they are about three years old then butcher them for various purposes. One thing they talked about was pink tiger bone jewelry. To make pink tiger bone jewelry they remove the bones from the tiger while it is alive. They sedate the cat then debone it. That's to make the bone keep the pink color associated with blood flow.

I mean....that is a bit much. Asian culture. It's a bitch.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

Ok this is an old one I just came across but it illustrates the problem with the "Black History" distortions:

https://www.ebony.com/entertainment/queen-nefertiti/

It's Black people getting fired up because an image generated through imaging technology didn't look "Black."

Here's the problem: Queen Nefertiti reigned from 1353 to 1336 BC. The ancient Egyptians of that time were not what we call "Black."

Here's an article on DNA research into the matter:

https://bigthink.com/philip-perry/were- ... s-now-know

Take a look at this ancient bust of Nefertiti:

That's not a "Black" woman.

The ancient Egyptians were no more "Black" than this guy is:

Army tweets, "How has serving impacted you?"

Yeah, that was a mistake. :lol:
Just a sampling of the replies:
Never met my grandfather thanks to a long battle with melanoma from Agent Orange in Vietnam but thanks for asking
My dad has had PTSD since his tours in Afghanistan post-9/11. He has not been able to hold a job for more than a month since he retired, and his alcoholism gets worse every year. He can’t get care at the VA. He wakes up screaming every night.
My dad had the choice of going to Vietnam or prison. He went to Vietnam and regrets not choosing prison.
