Anonymous asked: You were born in Canada, don't you think it's annoying that the U.S is most commonly referred to as "America"? Because I find that rally irritating (rant ahead). I think that calling the U.S America is like calling Kenya Africa. America is not a country, it's two continents filled with countries!

government-hookers asked: In terms of the US media I meant that they're perfectly fine with over sexualizing women for advertising, but how dare we even think about teaching our children what sex is, how to have safe sex, and (heaven forbid) what gay sex is.

tnali asked: Depressing shit. Depressing shit from from the Middle East and Southeast Asia basically.
The anon who messaged me:
Usually I would be the one sending a message like that- but quite honestly it’s not that much of a metaphor when it comes to the things like the IMF and the policy that multinational companies have with these so-called “failed states” (which they, in most cases, helped bring to this stage). The reason I’m not posting your question is due to the sensitivity of a person who I...

THE ballots in the Yemeni presidential election offered only one choice. Next to a picture of the preordained victor, they also bore his campaign slogan, “Together we build the future”. How could it be that after 12 gruelling and often bloody months of protests demanding freedom and democracy, citizens could cheerfully condone such an electoral farce?

The thing I respect most about Malcolm X
is the sheer strength of his character. After he was lied to and felt betrayed by his mentor and after going for hajj and seeing that the religion he’d been putting his faith in was basically a fabrication, he didn’t stop or give up the whole idea but rather readjusted his view points and just soldiered on working for what he considered the most important thing since the very...
