UK Parents Arrested Over School WhatsApp Group Complaints in ‘Massive Overreach’ by Police
Everyone should be treated the same. Justice should be blind. The correct response to your alleged poor treatment of minorities (I have many examples to disprove that) is not poor treatment of non minorities. The spiteful, racist politics of revenge that you propose will not work out well for you. Best you drop it. -

New York Doctor Fired Over Anti-Israel & Hamas Supporting Comments "Long Live Hamas"
No it's not. It could just be as easily construed as free speach. From A.I. 'In the U.S., verbally supporting a designated foreign terrorist organization can be illegal under certain circumstances, specifically when the speech constitutes "material support" or is used to incite or facilitate terrorist acts, as outlined in 18 U.S.C. § 2339A and § 2339B. The term "material support or resources" is defined in 18 U.S.C. § 2339B and includes things like funds, training, safehouses, weapons, false documentation, and communications. Free Speech Considerations: The Supreme Court has ruled that Congress can outlaw material support to terrorist organizations, even in the form of speech, when that speech is not independent of the terrorist organization and is coordinated with them. Examples of Illegal Speech: Counsel, promotes, encourages, or urges anyone to commit a terrorist act. Provides instructions on how to commit a terrorist act. Now the only part she could be accused of providing material support for would be to 'Praise anyone for committing a terrorist act' but there also has to be 'a substantial risk that such praise may lead another person to commit a terrorist act.' None of which has been proven. And it wasn't just ' a hospital decision', it came after heavy pressure from City Councilwoman Inna Vernikov, a Brooklyn Republican. If you want to have it your way then the US should start arresting anyone that espouses any support for white nationalism, supports the KKK, Aryan Nations or similar organisations that are categorised as domestic terrorism. And before anyone thinks I'm a fan of Hamas and that I think this woman wasn't just stipid for doing what she did, think again. I'm just more of a fan of TRUE free speach and fairness across the board. -

Poverty Rates in the West
The OP compares apples and oranges. The US figure looks as if it is based on the SNAP food program. In Australia the poverty line is 50% of median household income. It takes no account of savings. I am below that poverty line, in terms of income. Living in Thailand, I have two dwellings, two cars, and two scooters. Plus substantial cash savings in Thailand and Australia. It's a flawed comparison, as different metrics are used. -

Government Hires Crackpot to "Study" Nonexistent Link Between Vaccines and Autism
As the vaccine was untested with the normal procedures it is not unreasonable to research what side effects it could cause. -

Thai PM fumes over delayed quake warnings; demands action
Entire house shakes for over a minute. 😕 "Hummm. I wonder what that was? I need someone who is an 'expert' to explain this to me. I'm so confused." We have electric, cell phone, and water outages routinely where I live. No one needs an SMS from the government to figure out why. Everyone knows why - utilities in Thailand aren't the most reliable. Now - after your house shakes for over a minute and then stuff doesn't work? You'd have to be a complete moron who has lived their entire life in a hermetically sealed box all of their life not to understand what happened.
