So it's either corporal punishment (castrating a serial rapist), rehabilitation or slavery (forcing prisoners to work for free). I picked the first option. I was tempted to pick the third option. I should've picked the third option. Now defenseless little children in my nation are going to suffer in the classroom to atone for the crimes of society's worst. Dumb issue all around.

Gazoo agrees!!! Minors shouldnt be having social media accounts! We must protect our children from the crazy things the radicals post online.

Biden has revealed his true colors by refusing to veto a UN Security Council resolution demanding a ceasefire without conditioning that ceasefire on the release of all hostages. He has proven that, like his predecessor Obama, he can't be trusted to stand with Israel and consistently uphold the right of Jews and non-Muslims to defend themselves. He is a coward for pandering to his hateful, ignorant far-left base and he is a traitor to all non-Muslims. The American people must make a note of his unforgivable betrayal and vote him out in November.

Ban TikTok or force its sale for national security reasons, but for other social media platforms based in friendly jurisdictions and owned by citizens of such, parents should have the final say. I just don't trust the state in any country in the world to micro-manage our daily lives or the daily lives of our children. The government should stay out of it. Sic semper tyrannis.

And speaking of social media, NS is a social media platform. Maybe Max Barry should raise the age limit to 18 and kick all the kiddos off so we adults can post as much p*rn as we want just like on X. /j

No seriously, I searched for BBC on X once and it wasn't what I expected to find. Now I can't unsee the images, which involve a very specific body part belonging to men of a very specific racial background in stunning HD.

Obviously I'm referring to the British Broadcasting Corporation. Bunch of perverted sickos, those guys. /j

Tik Tok is spying in America and causing big problems in our youth today! We must protect our children! Gazoo support banning Tik Tok as national security issue.

Can we all agree that China has caused enough damage with everything they have done in the past 4 years.

Hehe, the BBC thing made me chuckle.

I think the Florida bill should have excluded the ban and made social media legally require minors below 15 to require parents' permission. That part of the bill I liked, and it was considered standard practice when I was growing up, at least in my household.

A minor shouldnt be using an app that it is spying on all of us.

Happy Opening day.

The long 2 month span without American sports is finally over.

Let's go O's

Gazoo just noticed that Barbad0s ceased to exist. Gazoo hope Barbados do return one day to our great Union.

Zetox is ranked 1st in the Union for fattest citizens. The people of Zetox have very high obesity rates, poor health, and short life spans plagued by chronic disease

Almost a quarter of the people living in Capital Markets die from cancer, at least the Zetox secret service takes them out before the heart disease does.

Capital Markets is the freest nation in the Union based on a composite of world census measures. That means it's citizens have the freedom to pursue their own ends, even at the detriment to their own health. No one, however, will ever be "disappeared' by an iron fist government, like what happens in Zetox

Gazoo is proud that Zetox’s citizens are fat. That means there is an abundance of food and food security in Zetox.

Gazoo’s administration doesn’t order the secret service or any enforcement agency to do such thing in Zetox.

Gazoo doesn’t like that you and Delmarva and Cape May are implying that Gazoo orders the disappearance of Zetox’s citizens. That is wrong for you to say that without evidence of such. Gazoo is concerned of the disappearance issue and it’s working on policy to make Zetox even more safer.

Hello everyone! Hope everyone is having a great Saturday!!

Applause is in order as Sicias is no longer considered Democratic Socialist.

Of course the welfare state is a beast that still must be slain, and Taxes still need to be lowered to a sensible number. But there is tangible progress

Do they have the freedom to harm other people's health as well? Someone can make the argument that your disastrous environmental policies are creating significant market externalities. In contrast, the CRDC firmly believes that it's the government's duty to prevent environmental harm, as it can directly correlate to a deterioration of public health.

It is self-evident that your government is playing a key role in making disappearance the leading cause of death. It's 85.6% of that stat! Furthermore, if it is not the government, then who is causing it? How could you claim that you have no crime, yet let this happen illegally under your nation's watch? It's a humanitarian travesty, I say!

Should be returning from vacation and back in action by, at most, next Saturday! The fact that everything is going smoothly here is a relief. 💙

That’s great to hear, friend! Gazoo happy your country policies are improving and continue to improve and leaving the socialist ideas.

No! Zetox has one of best police force and won’t permit citizens cause harm to others! Gazoo is tough on crime!

Gazoo and its government in Zetox isn’t involved in the disappearance. Gazoo is investigating why the high percentage and as Gazoo said in multiple occasions, NS issues results sometimes takes things to the extreme.

Gazoo want rest assure that the people in Zetox loves Gazoo!

Blessings on this Easter, dear friend! But according to Joe Biden, Transgender Awareness Day is actually today. The LGBT community gets thirty holidays and an entire month to celebrate. I propose renaming April Foul's to Joe Biden Day. While we're at it, we might as well relocate this new transgender day to April Fool's Day or Halloween. Simply put, this is insane, and I'm not even a straight person.

Lol

Easter was on Mar. 29 (Good Friday). Did you not get a public holiday last Friday?

My bad. Easter always falls on a Sunday. Last Friday was Good Friday, which is entirely separate from Easter proper.

I'm hopping mad about that (no pun intended). Good for Trump on calling out Biden for that. The scary part is the dude is supposed to be Catholic!

Squashing the Holiest and most Joyful day on the Christian Calendar under your Transgender awareness day is uncalled for. If Biden wanted to do the smart thing (though I disagree Transgender Awareness day is smart) he might have moved it a Day earlier to Saturday to prevent angering his far left base but avoid completely wiping his rear in the faces of Millions of Christians.

Honestly shocked that even far left pope hasn't called him out on that

Edit: I just spotted something a leftist Friend said that put me into stitches

"Queers for Palestine is like cows for steakhouse ngl"

The funniest part is he's one of the ones whining about civilian casualties and "Genocide"

Easter, TVD and Ramadan all coincide on Mar. 31 (in America at least I think?).

EDIT: My bad. Easter always falls on a Sunday.

I don't actually care either way about Easter (besides the eggs and merchandising), Trans or Ramadan. I don't celebrate any of these holidays nor am I bothered by them in any way. I have fundamental disagreements and reservations with regards to trans issues and the wholesale deconstructing of objective reality and truth in favor of "your truth" and "my truth" as well as the takeover of medicine and other legal, academic and scientific disciplines by performative woke activists (a broader issue that extends far beyond anything to do with LGBT, which is just a convenient scapegoat), and you probably already know how strongly I feel about Islam, but to each their own. I say this as a transhumanist who firmly believes, one way or another, that AI will save the world.

It's also worth noting that Easter hasn't actually been banned or erased at all. America is not China. Biden, not trans, is the main problem in this case. The remedy is straightforward. Vote him out. I could care less about Trump's "anti-woke" domestic political grandstanding about TVD and Easter, but he needs to be in the White House right now.

I'd argue that LGBT is itself a victim of woke ideology. If even straight heteros like myself can identify as "queer" and "LGBT" simply by painting my nails pink, then anyone can be "LGBT". And if anyone can be "LGBT", then no one is. The result is that actual gays will go back to being marginalized ironically because everyone else is just as "oppressed" as they are, reducing the acronym to nothing more than a woke Gen Z TikTok label. Gays are being systematically erased on both sides by religious bigots (Muslims especially) on the far-right and radical woke trans activists on the far-left and they deserve far better than to be treated as a political football. The same goes for other minorities such as blacks, Jews, Asians and Latinos.

As for me personally, LGBT is a low priority issue by default except mainly as a cudgel to bash Islam. Democrats are arguably more anti-LGBT than Republicans due to their staunchly anti-LGBT Muslim allies and their vocal support for Hamas, OBL and their ilk, who would be more than happy to throw gays off rooftops. Christianity is far more benign than Islam in this regard and I'm willing to take my chances with some mildly annoying Pentecostal televangelists in America over the Islamic totalitarianism here in my country that is far more violent and repressive toward various minorities and non-believers like us.

As much as I dislike and distrust Biden as a president, Trans Visibility Day is not something that would really get me worked up the same way that bigots chanting "From the River to the Sea" would. I'd be much more bothered if an English city council celebrated Ramadan but forgot all about Easter. Westminster City Council hastily cobbled together some low-quality Easter decorations by around 5pm, 17 hours late, that a kindergartner could've made.

As for Ramadan, I don't really care as long as its not used to incite violence and persecution against Jews and other groups. All of these holidays are simply background noise to me except for Christmas and Lunar New Year, which I do celebrate.
