Explaining jokes to idiots

No. It was a right wing troll bait question. Its a fake issue. Such instruction isn't happening. Similar to the critical race theory fake issue. That's a graduate school level subject.

Russians feel they need a strong man leader. Its deeply cultural and arguably related to the fundamentals of such a vast nation.

Yes and Putin doesn't care about the lives of his own troops either. There is no existential threat to Russia from Ukraine but there is an existential threat to Putin if he badly loses. So he will do anything to win. To Putin he IS the state.

Its all about viciously demonizing and scapegoating LGBT Americans for political gain.

How low will right wingers go to seize even more power? There really is no limit! Now they are mainstreaming totally insane QAnon conspiracy theories. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/03/31/grooming-repugnant-gop-attack-anti-gay-anti-trans/ Grooming’: Republicans’ vile new attack on any who criticize them What’s the most repulsive accusation you could make about a person? It’s hard to think of anything worse than calling them a pedophile. Which is what conservatives are now doing to anyone who criticizes the anti-gay and anti-trans legislation they’re promoting in state after state.

Its fear mongering is all to whip up the right wing base.

The lies ambitious slimeball politicians tell. https://www.advocate.com/politics/2022/4/07/report-story-desantis-uses-support-dont-say-gay-just-lie Report: Story DeSantis Uses to Support 'Don't Say Gay' Is 'Just a Lie' The Florida governor's description of how a school district handled a student's gender transition is "just a lie," the district's superintendent says, and emails back that up.

That's a wee bit further than Naklua.

Have you eaten the dish in Singapore? Then you would know.

Schools are not "training" kids on how to be a different gender id. As far as LGBT kids or kids with same sex parents or much more commonly kids with one whatever parent or LGBT teachers its not a question of normal or abnormal. Such diversity in families and teachers is a fact of life. Believe me everyone learns about heteronormative assumptions very early.

Exactly. Not really interested in the real implications of this bill.

Ignoring the fact that the bill includes ALL grades.

Don't go then because then you'll realize its not as good here.

Its a matter of equality in schools not special treatment

A very ironic thing is that American right wingers pose as the pro liberty party Making a major segment of the population invisible in schools under penalty of financially ruinous lawsuits by organized bigoted moron parents is the opposite of liberty. I wonder if this bill might even be worse than war criminal Putin's anti LGBT laws.

Dude you haven't even bothered to process the actual chilling anti intellectual freedom impact of this bill on ALL grades so you're obviously not posting in good faith. For one of millions of examples in ANY grade in a music class if the subject of the homosexuality of Tchaikovsky comes up the teacher must aggressively shut it down or risk being sued by a moron bigoted parent. The LGBT kids will be made invisible and made to feel something is wrong with them increasing already high LGBT youth suicide rates. Imagine if this same bill was about Jews not LGBT. Then at least some of the anti LGBT bigots might understand how horrible this bill is.

Much longer than that but now the US has devolved into a cold civil war situation where the future of any kind of democracy is under real and direct threat.

The main difference between this Chinese origin chicken rice as found in Thailand and Singapore is that its usually much much better in Singapore.

Now that anti LGBT demagogue DeSantis has attacked "sacred" in Florida Disney, is there hope that will backfire? Don't mess with Disney! https://www.newsweek.com/disney-ron-desantis-vote-florida-1695981 Could Disney Workers Help Vote Ron DeSantis Out of Florida? Amid his ongoing feud with Disney over its opposition to the controversial "don't say gay" bill, there has been speculation Florida Governor Ron DeSantis may have picked a fight too big even for the political firebrand.

Of course I won't be responding to extremist anti LGBT flame rants on a gay forum. Experience has shown there is no hope of rational discussion with such people. Similar waste of time situation as trying to talk to pro insurrectionist trumpists.

My understanding is that SWIFT transfers are totally blocked internationally but only to SOME Russian banks. So I'm not aware of any reason why any Thai bank couldn't do a SWIFT transfer to the still not blocked Russian banks (if they wanted to). There may be other workarounds. Additional (or all) Russian banks might eventually be added to the no SWIFT list.

Why? Florida song.

DeSantis signs legislation dubbed by opponents 'Don't Say Gay' (heraldtribune.com) Again, the issue is about ALL GRADES. Parents are free to bring lawsuits against schools for any speech they don't like, because "... in accordance with state standards ..." is NOT DEFINED and the state of Florida has no intension of defining them. Then schools must spend money they don't have to defend these cases. The result -- basically don't say gay. Just ERASE all the LGBT students, teachers, people in the rest of the community, and from all history. Teachers will be forced to self censor in the extreme. The USA promotes itself as a free country. This policy is the exact OPPOSITE of freedom and liberty. Many good teachers will obviously just resign from the profession, perhaps leaving too many that support this kind of ignorant far right wing intolerance. This is what you would expect in an authoritarian country like Russia.
