My infusions cost $9100 each month ,luckily its free here in NZ ,its crazy to think if I had to pay for it and couldn't then I would he 6ft under

Not legal in my country. Right to life trumps right to religion.

My mother was a nurse. They had a child from some super conservative Jewish family at the hospital because their child had an accident and was bleeding out. They refused a blood transfusion so it died - survival chances would have been almost 100% with a blood transfusion, but doctors couldn't legally do anything against their decision in such a short time frame. These s**t-parents should have been prosecuted with murder.

I really don't understand this, I'd do anything to keep my kids safe whether I previously believed in it or not - to refuse a life saving procedure for any reason is baffling to me

Not legal where I live.

My partners mums words on his mental health (which is bad atm) “oh I never bothered with help, I know it’s just demons sent from Satan. It’s not medical’ - she’s a nurse 😞

I would have had an older brother, but he died before I was born from an undetermined illness. My mother was a Christian Scientist and didn't believe in doctors. I had double pneumonia when I was 18 months old (I have a picture of me then; I look like death warmed over) and nearly died as well since she wouldn't take me to the hospital. Some (all?) religions should be illegal.

Christian Scientists just pray away the disease

But if you let them play in your own yard, it's neglect. Got it.

This!

I would make companies give shares to their employees so that they can get payouts like shareholders. Minimum 51% shareholdership for workers. The workers CAN own the means of production!

And once born they're not important anymore, mother and child can drop dead.

Members of the House can use the Power of the Purse to intentionally shut down the government as political leverage and still get paid themselves, while withholding the paychecks of 4 million federal employees until their unpopular demands are met halfway.

I'll always click up on kitties, puppies, piglets, baby bats, but I will never understand the kids. Unless they're goat kids. That I get.

Now THAT is "grooming."

US is a 2 party government, rich and poor not republican and democrat

A friend of my mother's spent the money she got off of selling her home on seeing a few primary school friends in Australia, Canada and elsewhere. She had been widow a few years, her kids have good jobs, and she decided to spend it on herself now rather than having to pay it to a nursing home if she ever needed it. ( Over here they are subsidised exept if you have money of yourself over a certain amount.) She's a legend : had not flown before and did it by herself in her seventies.

Yes!!

just now was i introduced to the fact that rich people literally don't have to follow the rules. Laws are there to hurt the poor.

America.

Just spent half a day dealing with my health insurance company because they assigned me a PCP in a completely different city. American health insurance is so broken.

This should be illegal and it could be easily fixed contrary to the other stuff which involves huge structural changes in the countries' legal and economical systems. People shouldn't be allowed to disturb your peace.

Still legal in too many American states.

medi care in the U.S. is unbelievably high when compared to Europe.

only in America here in the UK if your sick your sick you dont get a certain number of days if its for long time you might need a doctors note but you get paid still

Dumping raw sewage in to a fresh water supply is much worse and, yeah that's a thing.

China has part share in a lot of mines in my area. The workers are really fairly compensated tbh. They also have learnership programs for the unemployed to better their skill set and be able to get a job

Because all around the world, tax laws are written BY the wealthy.

I hear this a lot from idiots who don't know how money works but blame Biden for some reason.

It's called civil forfeiture. "...civil forfeiture involves a dispute between law enforcement and property such as a pile of cash or a house or a boat, such that the thing is suspected of being involved in a crime [so not the person, GA]. To get back the seized property, owners must prove it was not involved in criminal activity..." - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_forfeiture_in_the_United_States

Unfortunately, it goes together with the fact that it is not rape if it happens in marriage. In Finland it became a punishable crime only in 1994. Sick.

Yes, & the dum-dums who run with the bulls too! Unless I'm attacked in the wilderness by a bull, then it's fair game.

If they live too far away that's called a third world country...

i work a full time job and earn a pretty decent monthly wage but i live with my parents because i simply cant afford to live by myself

Fellow aspie, Temple Grandin, revolutionized cattle slaughter industry to make it much more humane than previously operated

I think this statement goes in the category "How to say you are American without saying you are American" 🫣

The foreskin is there for a reason. Altering the body the way it was intended to be has no medical advantages.

THIS! In Australia (and globally)!

The US is one of only 4 democracies without any form of PR voting (the UK is another). In PR based systems, the incentive to gerrymander is greatly reduced. Although why partial people are allowed to redraw maps is a mystery.

And let's not forget to consider housing as a business. Investment funds based on real estate should be banned, as well as rental housing companies with a large number of properties.

I see no problen with those who REPORT it. But for them who don't : they should be kicked out AND fined. And if they can't/ won't pay : emprisoned.

TX has SPU prosecution for these crimes

I always thought influencers were bad - how weak-minded do you have to be to have someone tell you what to wear, what to listen to, what to think. But then Vloggers that prank their children hopefully have reserved a special layer in Hell, just for them. What they do is abuse, not entertainment. And it's allowed to happen.
