Sooooo, you visit Phuket, the <deleted> hole of Thailand and Bkk and claim that the entire country is the same. Try visiting other parts of the country outside cities for a change of attitude. -

Retire Malaya VS Thailand: Advantages? Disadvantages? Your Experiences?
LOL. I am aware that the luvvies call it Malaysia, but I deliberately call it Malaya to differentiate it from Borneo which is part of Malaysia. Same reason US people don't call all the states America. Also, I spent my childhood in that part of the world and it was Malaya ( it was also British ) so It's what I'm used to. So stick your "ignorance" where the sun don't shine. -

Controversy Over ‘Mx’ Titles: Young Pupils and Gender-Neutral Teachers
Seriously? The only excuse for not identifying as male or female is being a hermaphrodite. How much longer are sane people going to put up with this moronic stupidity? -

Watch: Biden Struggles to Navigate Delaware Beach & Stumbles Multiple Times
If Biden was judged unable to be the next POTUS, why is he judged worthy to still be in that position? This whole fiasco exposes the US political system to be completely broken and a disaster in the making. One hopes that no crisis arises before January 20 that requires a functioning human being in charge. -

Liberal Meltdown Thread
If you've got 5 minutes to spend on a hilarious liberal meltdown article, have a look at some examples: Universities are decrying President-elect Donald Trump’s victory and offering a swath of therapeutic safe-space activities to help students cope with their emotions. Several universities are offering counseling services and special post-election debriefing events on campus, while professors canceled classes and called for a rise against the future administration, according to emails obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. Just one example: https://dailycaller.com/2024/11/11/safe-spaces-therapy-colleges-help-students-cope-kamala-harris-loss-2024-election/ Where was all the compassion for conservative students after 2020? Or is it just the lefties that are frail and unstable? Scary if these are the people that plan to run the country in the future. -

Controversy Over ‘Mx’ Titles: Young Pupils and Gender-Neutral Teachers
In a recent shift, some schools in Scotland have introduced the gender-neutral title "Mx" for teachers, with children as young as four now being encouraged to use this term when addressing staff. This change aims to create a more inclusive environment for non-binary individuals and those who do not identify strictly as male or female. However, the use of gender-neutral titles in classrooms has sparked a broader debate about the appropriateness of discussing gender identity with very young students. According to figures from Scottish councils, at least 86 educators, including teachers, teaching assistants, and aides, have adopted the "Mx" title instead of traditional titles like Miss, Mrs, Ms, or Mr. Of these, 13 are in primary schools, and 73 work in secondary schools. Edinburgh has the highest concentration, with 44 staff members recorded as using a gender-neutral title. However, actual numbers may be higher, as some councils do not track this data. Supporters argue that using gender-neutral titles in schools reflects a progressive approach to inclusion, recognizing non-binary identities and fostering respect among students. However, critics have raised concerns about introducing such concepts to young children. Scottish Conservative spokesperson for children and young people, Roz McCall, stated that focusing on these "fringe issues" diverts attention from core educational goals, arguing that this shift may leave some children feeling uncomfortable or confused. Campaign groups such as For Women Scotland and Parent Watch Scotland have also expressed opposition. Marion Calder, of For Women Scotland, argued that introducing non-binary concepts in classrooms can be confusing for young children, likening the emphasis on gender identity to "astrology" and urging teachers to avoid bringing personal ideologies into their professional roles. She voiced concerns over the trustworthiness of teachers in students' eyes, asking, “How are children to believe anything a teacher says if they lie about something so fundamental?” This sentiment was echoed by Parent Watch Scotland, which claimed titles like "Mx" often require explanations that could serve as conversation starters about gender identity, a topic some feel is inappropriate for younger students. In addition to the debate over titles, critics also point to broader issues related to gender identity in Scottish schools. Some teaching materials reportedly include discussions of multiple gender identities, with lessons suggesting there are at least 17 genders. These approaches have raised questions about parental involvement, with critics arguing that parental consent is often overlooked when affirming students’ gender identities. A significant shift in Scotland’s approach to gender issues in education occurred after the Cass Review, an assessment of gender services in England, called for more thorough research on the impact of puberty blockers and other gender-affirming treatments for youth. As a result, Scotland has paused the prescription of puberty blockers for young people, signaling a cautious approach to medical interventions for gender dysphoria in response to the findings. The ongoing discourse around titles like "Mx" underscores a growing debate on the role of schools in addressing gender identity and inclusivity. As schools strive to balance inclusivity with developmental appropriateness, the debate is likely to continue, raising complex questions about the role of education in shaping young minds.
