I know that kurds are not allowed to speak kurdish (close to Farsi) in Turkey.
Children gets a slap on the face if they speak it.
Alan Kurdi's father got his teeth pulled out by ISIS for instance.

Today I learned that even in my country kurds are afraid to speak their own language.
I know Stepan, a six year old boy who likes to play with our dog. His mother told him not to speak kurdish.

Biji Kurdistan:)

They initially even threatened to prosecute him for making a 'hoax bomb'. So basically the idea was that a kid who did not make a bomb nor pretended that he had made a bomb was about to be prosecuted by people to stupid to see the difference between a real bomb and a homemade clock, for not making a real bomb.

Thankfully this got all the news media up in arms, but what if this had slipped under the radar of the major news outlets? A kid would now be in jail because his teachers and the police are apparently Luddites and incompetent.

No. Sometimes this happens in Scandinavia as well...

Can happen anywhere where mysticism rules over reason.

It so happens that kids like explosives.
I for one.
We did a lot of experiments and tools to make it happen.
Once I found plastic explosive (Dynamex) and ignators.
We used a scooter motor to trigger it and it was quite spectaculary.
This was done in a remote area of course.

Personal Ethics and Morality, are the reason most situations regarding the Legal 'Use of Deadly Physical Force', does not result in the Police Officer 'Discharging' his/her weapon.

<translation>It is a mess pile of paper work.

An online tool used to help identify which California communities are hit hardest by environmental hazards reveals significant disparities by race, according to an analysis by researchers at UC Berkeley and the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA).

Previous studies have found that neighborhoods with higher percentages of Hispanic and African American residents had poorer air quality, closer proximity to hazardous waste sites or fewer parks.

“What’s unique about this study is that we are looking at multiple hazards at once and including factors that make populations more vulnerable to the effects of pollution, such as age and disease status,” said study lead author Lara Cushing, a Ph.D. student in the UC Berkeley Energy and Resources Group. “Still, it is surprising to see such a consistent and stark disparity by race when it comes to the burden of environmental health hazards. It was a bigger factor than income.”
...
The median cumulative impact score was 75 percent higher for Hispanics and 67 percent higher for African Americans compared with non-Hispanic white populations.
...
“The findings indicate that people of color — especially African American and Latino Californians — are much more likely than white Californians to be exposed to both environmental and social stressors that impact health,” said Cushing.

Segregation rears its ugly head again. No doubt as income wasn't a factor. The only thing not mentioned in the study is how far the people travel to their jobs. A study of this may indicate that the affected populations live close to their jobs and their jobs are the dirty ones that pollute. More white privilege?

Wonder what they'd make of the flamethrower i built from a super-soaker with a metal nozzle and a bbq lighter...

Those where the days we didn't know what rascism and terrorism is...

When and why, did we make Childhood 'Adventures' and Crazy Adolescence, Criminal?
When and why, did we make Normal Parenting Decisions Criminal? A 9 year-old, playing alone in a park is Criminal?

Please no stupid and clueless: It's The Right or The Left.
It's from both sides.

Charged with unlawful conduct toward a child, a felony punishable by up to 10 years in jail! That's BS!
A child at 9 years are capable to play alone.
You have to leave children sometimes.
I meet children every day playing without their parents.
Sipan a kurd is only six years old and playing by himself. He has not started school yet.

It is the same thinking as .... . Thank you Rupert Murdoch.

That was while i was still a student, less than a decade ago!

Two years ago i made a big batch of fake crystal meth (actually lemon brittle dyed blue*) for the finale of Breaking Bad, then crossed town on the bus with it sealed in little plastic bags. I'd like to see what the police would have made of that if i'd been searched.

*Real crystal meth is white, but it was blue in the programme.

Oh dear:)
I was talking about more then 4 decades ago.
Have you seen the movie Stand By Me, from a Steven King novell?

Today I think every kid knows what rascism and terrorism is :(

Foundational problem, as always: The Authority's are scared.
Today:
Some Idiot, who believes all should be forced to follow their Beliefs. Calls the Police on this 'Old Enough' (to anyone with an IQ over a flea) child.
The Police, out of Fear of Negative Consequences (to themselves), if they make the wrong decision: Call a Government Child Welfare Agency to make 'The Decision'.
The responding Authority Personnel, out of Fear if they make a wrong decision (better safe than sorry - for themselves): Find some Law to Enforce.
In the past:
Police are called and respond. They would say to this total Idiot 'Are you F...ing Stupid, or something' (well - In New York anyway), and leave.
No one, I repeat NO ONE, would care what complaint this total and complete Idiot, would make against the responding Police.

It's our politicians that makes our laws.
Good and Bad.
But for heavens sake US. Vote!

But for heavens sake US. Vote!

They have to choose from the available candidates .....

I believe it is a Cultural, not a Law Problem.
There will always be Volumes of Laws and Regulations. This problem will not be solved by changing Laws.
Our Culture and perhaps Europe too, used to allow Police, Teachers, etc., to use their Common Sense, and allow Discretion when making decisions. There would rarely be any Criminal Sanctions against the Authority's Personnel.
Today, it has changed. Human Nature makes one understand, that if only one person is unfairly criminally charged (In the Authority's Personnel Opinion): All personnel, I repeat all personnel, will 'take steps' to ensure this does not happen to them.
Just the way we Humans are.
How do we return to Common Sense and Discretion?
As the 'Old Saying' goes: 'It takes only minutes to destroy a dam. But years to rebuild'.
Who destroyed 'The Dam', and why?

I think politicians are afraid to not being political correct, AKA PC!
PC is a silly thing. If all politicians are PC, then we don't need partys.
In fact politicians are not needed at all when a socioty is PC...

I was walking our dog Tosca tonight.
There is a square here where teenagers usually hang out that I had to pass.
In this case all of them comes from the middle east.
But one guy was asking if he could pat Tosca. (To muslims thats haram)
Sure I said.
Another guy asked me where I come from.
I said Stockholm and the guy said "So do I, From Flemingsberg".
My GF's brother lived there and I have been there.

The world is small.
So please behave:)

PC = Deciding who cannot be offended, and who it is correct (and the duty of all) to offend.

Of course. PC it is just a mechanism to Control Populations.

PC is an attempt to change people's minds and perceptions. Often terms are used in a very negative fashion, such as retard or gay, to call people names. Retard, of course, originally meant slow, or mentally slow, but in time was used to offend those who didn't catch on quickly enough. Gay of course meant happy, but has been used with very negative connotations, such as when you dislike something you call it gay, thus equating gay with bad or terrible.

Of course, the anti-PC brigade has to put a negative spin on the idea of trying not to offend people that they have to make PC sound bad so that they can continue using words in the ways described above without caring about other people's feelings.

And yes, I do think in some cases being politically correct goes too far, such as calling a garbage man "sanitation and waste management" or a janitor as "building services" or "building custodian".
