A Taiwanese couple married and divorced 4 times in a span of 37 days so they could take advantage of a honeymoon-leave loophole

I wonder what the regulations are here in America...we get X number of sick days, earn vacation time, bereavement time for immediate family, most major holidays off....and then you have these Asian companies (as stated in the article) that give a total of 3 days off. SMH.

If only Facebook did the same in terms of deleting historical ideas for assassins creed wich is what i did specifically saying ancient Japan or Mongolia for a world setting stating it dosent fit our standers. They fixed my post but this politically correct bs really is blurring the lines of what is offensive. Also fuck twitter that place is a cancer and should die. I swear im going to by a no mam shirt from married with children go to a feminist rally wearing it saying something anti woman just to watch them meltdown

Heard on the radio this morning a cop pulled over a mini-van that was speeding and driving recklessly.

It's a ten-year-old boy who wanted to go to the store while his parents were sleeping to buy Cheerios for tomorrow's breakfast.

I thought it was interesting that the wedding went forward as planned because it turned out that, while the bride was the groom's mother's long lost biological daughter, the groom was actually her ADOPTED son, so the bride and groom weren't blood relations at all.

The fact that we cannot realistically attain perfection doesn't mean we shouldn't be open to improvements. That's all I'm saying. Nothing is served by shutting down all criticism.

I never said shutdown criticism but people have this picture perfect world where everyone gets along. I truly believe thats not possible. Its like almost asking can good exist without the bad and can the bad exist without the good? i dont think it can

I imagine many would argue that we aren't "the best" on human rights, even though we are clearly much better than many other places.

I'm not saying our country is horrible, but there is a sort of knee-jerk defensiveness we have to be wary of. Yes, some criticisms I hear seem unfair, and some "solutions" (abolish the police, really?) seem borderline crazy, but there is a real danger inherent in snapping back against ANY criticisms with a knee-jerk comparisons to places that are much worse.

People always seem to be willing to admit that we're "not perfect", but if that admission doesn't come with a willingness to at least consider proposed improvements, then it feels rather dishonest.

Like I said, I know some criticisms may seem unfair, but even in those cases it seems like it is important to try to have a dialogue, because it seems to me like, usually, even if you don't agree with their estimation of the extent of the problem, or the exact nature of it, if we're honest and willing to consider things, we find that there is SOME kind of problem at the root, and nothing is served by just defensively denying that, and pointing to China or Nazi Germany. Nothing will EVER improve that way, and if we truly believe our country isn't PERFECT, we should be looking for ways to improve it.

Nothings perfect because life itself isnt. Throughout human history when human beings evolved who had it perfect even better what country throughout the world's existence was a perfect country?
How would you define a perfect life , country or world?
