True, but hardly an explanation if, for example, a support animal in a nursing home (another institution charged with looking after people) was being side gigged as a rat catcher, letting nature run its course in front of the residents. Mind you, the residents would be older, so I guess...

First Jimmy Hendrix jumping out of perfectly good airplanes, now this. Thanks for sharing!

That actually sounds like something Mark Twain could have said :) And/or Catholics, right?

If it's any comfort, I don't think you're a troll at all. That said, while a bit of caution about any single religion getting too much of a foothold may be needed, the same things have been said about, for example, Italians in the past, both in Canada and the U.S. And as someone from that...

A bit of recent "Second Sons take the show on the road" activity in the 705 area code: https://www.sudbury.com/local-news/white-nationalist-group-places-silent-slaughter-cross-at-sudburys-opioid-memorial-12412986...

Notwithstanding there's enough of a rat buffet in a prison that management can't deal with it outside of press ganging the emotional support animals.

Sad there can't be, say, something somewhere in the middle between wrapping young offenders in bubble wrap and making them witness ferret-rat gladiator games to teach them how the real world works outside, right?

Good idea fairy firing alright, fairy - STOPS! What do you do? Someone thought using the emotional support ferrets in a kid's prison to kill rats was a good idea - until one of the kids being emotionally supported sees the ferret doing its Darwinistic thing on a rat...

In this lifetime :)

In line with this ... ... and this ... ... one has to ask if we'd also be OK if all churches and religions were told, "hey, zero public audio for you - there's an app." I'd be OK with that broad a rule, but I suspect some might at least quibble when it comes to their own institutions being...

No big worries -- enough to chew on, I think, to rate its own thread within the guard rails of political discussion here on the boards. Army.ca Staff

Which, like political statements, are in the eye of the beholder. One person's church bells (which are and have been used as calls to a different kind of prayer) is another's call to prayer, with all the attendant narrative baggage one chooses to attach to either.

Easy to cherry pick the worst examples. From your own list, less "zero-tolerance, top-down governance" countries like Japan, Taiwan, the United States - even Israel these days - aren't exactly known for having blood flowing in the streets because of willy-nilly executions. That said, if life...
