I'd agree with that overall.
I don't really understand why only women change their names on marriage, but anyone should be free to.

Going to Israeli controlled areas of Gaza.
Don't be fooled, he's not helping the reconstruction of Palestine.

Looks like his arrest photo. Appropriate?

The solution for the future is simple: keep your own name if you marry.

You can bet young women watching this are learning about the dangers od being personally colonialised by men.

I wonder if Trump can name any "friendly countries" who would agree with that designation of themselves.

And what does he say about you, Senator Graham?

To me too.
I find that "live and let live" is a fine maxim to live by, when there's no encroachment on each other's lives.

Why do you think some people find trans people so threatening?

Do children ever fly in the US? (No drivers licenses)

This is all such a ridiculous furphy.

What about undocumented immigrants who identify as American?

No point sugar-coating it.

Although given the Aussie tendency to ironic naming (like calling a red-head "bluey") perhaps this SHOULD be the "warm-skinned cuddly worm"...?

What is "our way of life" in Australia?

Could someone please ask Angus Taylor what he means by this?

Writing your own academic work.

I can't believe that "a computer is in charge" is preferable to "a person who isn't American is in charge".

What is wrong with these people? You don't need them to wear their names, addresses and birth dates, just an id number or code, like a number plate. This is not rocket science.

I'm regretting all the Writers' Festivals I didn't go to, back when they were possible.

If votes counted were in constant proportions over the counting period, there would be no Dem or GOP areas, no gerrymandering, and in fact no need to count more than the first 10 or 100 votes.
