Things we can't talk about

I'll start you all off with a couple...

1.The rise in 'honour killings' in this country.
2.The planet's climate has always been ever-changing, even before man came on the scene.

The rise in "honour killings" in certain countries is a concerning trend that reflects deeply ingrained cultural beliefs and practices. "Honour killings" typically occur when individuals, usually women, are perceived to have brought shame or dishonour to their families or communities, often through actions such as refusing an arranged marriage, seeking a divorce, or engaging in a relationship deemed unacceptable by societal norms. These crimes are often perpetrated by family members or close relatives in an attempt to restore the family's reputation or honour. Addressing this issue requires comprehensive efforts to challenge and change societal attitudes towards gender, promote gender equality, strengthen legal frameworks, and provide support and protection for victims.

While it's true that the Earth's climate has undergone natural fluctuations over geological time scales, the current climate change crisis is primarily driven by human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These activities have significantly amplified the natural greenhouse effect, leading to global warming, rising sea levels, more frequent and intense extreme weather events, and disruptions to ecosystems and biodiversity. The overwhelming scientific consensus is that human-induced climate change poses a grave threat to the planet and requires urgent action to mitigate its impacts and transition to a more sustainable and low-carbon future.

Very risky.
Both true, yet why?

Influx of different cultures into a country usually see's a rise in criminality based on belief systems.
Climate change, well it's colder now that it was in the 1930's, go figure.

What else are we not allowed to talk about.

Oh, I know..
What does right or left wing actually mean any more?
I fail to understand how anyone can label someone who is actually right wing as a Nazi.

Isn't the right wing the one who want less government, less oversight and more personal freedom kinda not someone who would support a totalitarian regime like the National Socialists who basically took over all industry in Germany by inserting people who were "Party members" for their cause or straight up nationalised them.

Seems weird to me.
