Anyone who was in Law Enforcement. Be it Police, Prosecutors, Defense Attorneys, et al. Understands the 'Civilian' ignorance of many Criminal Law Statutes.Sounds like fake news. <ed>or to put it this way, if I (my class) benefits, it is good and legal. |

Physicist Veronika Hubeny was interrupted when she was trying to talk, as the only woman, participated in a panel discussion about the universe and string theory. After she had been interrupted several times, a woman in the audience eventually got out and exclaimed: "Let her talk!" The panel discussion, led by Jim Holt, philosopher and writer of the New Yorker magazine, took place at the World Science Festival in New York this weekend. https://www.svt.se/nyheter/utrikes/kvinnlig-fysiker-avbrots-gang-pa-gang-till-slut-fick-publiken-nog "Moderator" Jim Holt Continuously Interrupts Physicist Veronika Hubeny at the World Science Festival http://www.teenvogue.com/story/moderator-jim-holt-continuously-interrupts-physicist-veronika-hubeny-at-the-world-science-festival Shame on you, Jim Holt! |

Since it's Sunday. There are so many that read the US Constitution as it was the Bible. Or the Quran. The Quran has been untouched since it was written. But the Bible has been revised many times over centuries. Let's say. I'm very confused... https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=80890#1872476 |

There are so many that read the US Constitution as it was the Bible. Here we haven't any wars, revolutions or civil wars for more than 200 years. Why? Because we change the Constitution over time. First "edition" was about 1000 years ago. Last revision are from 1809. Some amendments later and the last 2009 that took effect 2011. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_of_Sweden |

Only in Europe. (I think) I walked our dog this evening and met a kid aged about 5 from the Middle East. He wore a t shirt with the text "Chill Out Dude". Yes. Written in American English:) I have met his father who is practicing Islam. Especially now when its Ramadan. A very friendly person with very nice kids. |

Supreme Court sides with The Slants, rules ban on offensive names is unconstitutional LOL:) That our Supreme Courts should even bother to rule in such a silly case never happens in the Nordic Countries. I don't think any country in Europe. Not even Russia:) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_yNnmsrLkc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_Eswa5jQgs |

Left Wing defined 'Hate Speech', is also protected?Hate speech is often followed by hate actions. In Europe, they use hired vehicles. In the US, they use guns. |

Left Wing defined 'Hate Speech', is also protected? No. All types of Hate Speech are considered a criminal offense. Offensive names are called insults and can sometimes be considered a criminal offense. But that's very very rare. Have a nice vacation:) |

Swear words. A thing that very much differ the US at least to the Nordic countries Most of them refer to the devil. Not sexually like in the US. A problem though it's that the US have exported your "fine" language to us. Not lately I heard a young muslim kid aged about 7 I think shouting "You MF". |

Swear words. True Clyde. The best way to insult persons is to learn swear words. The sooner the better. Just kidding:) But Denmark have picked a lot your "fine" language . And Estonian trying to swear in Lithuanian. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zwFgAY7f1k And Russia of course:) https://svenska.yle.fi/artikel/2014/05/06/en-kurs-i-ryska-svordomar From the first of July, swear words are forbidden in Russian media. The ban applies to movies, news media, television shows and theater shows. Books containing swear words should be provided with a warning text. Those who violate the law are at risk of fines; private individuals may pay about 50 euros while organizations and companies can forge nearly EUR 1000. |

In the small border town of Beebe Plain there is an unusual house for sale. Armed 24-hour security includes whether you want or not. The nearly 650 square meter house was built in 1782 and is today divided into five small apartments. What's unique is that half of the house is in the United States and others in Canada. VIDEO:) https://www.svt.se/nyheter/utrikes/halva-huset-star-i-kanada-och-halva-i-usa-nu-forsoker-han-salja-sitt-ovanliga-barndomshem Brian and his wife Joan DuMoulin want to sell the house so they can move closer to their kids and grandchildren in Ontario. But it's not easy - for example, the person who moves in should have dual citizenship. |

In the small border town of Beebe Plain there is an unusual house for sale. Armed 24-hour security includes whether you want or not. HeHe:) Actually there is border village in Belgium/Netherlands that have the same "problem" The Belgian part includes 22 exclaves within Dutch territory. The exclaves, in turn, surround seven Dutch areas. Belgian territory also surrounds an eighth Dutch area near Ginhoven. Baarle with the border marked on the pavement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baarle The line of the border means that some buildings straddle both countries. This is the case for a branch of Zeeman. For these properties, the voordeurregel (literally: "front door rule") policy applies: their address lies in the country that contains their front door. The exception is a house on Loveren street with both Belgian (#2) and Dutch (#19) front doors. For convenience, every house number plaque shows a flag |

Dats Right. Bring In All dA Migrants dat SUCK DRY Resources of a Country and THROW OUT Hard CASH Spending Tourists. Have you ever been to the tourist hotspots mentioned in the article? Even Hard CASH Spending Tourists going there start to react. I think in the US you would be arrested by the police if Hard CASH Spending Tourists ran naked in the White House garden or urinated on some Washington monuments. |
