Americans Share Harsh Truths The Rest Of The World Is Probably Not Ready To Hear Yet, Here Are Their 30 Answers

I agree with the other comments. Nobody said there was not a racism problem in Europe. I mean look at the elections results, in a lot of countries far right political parties have very high scores. I think the difference is how we apprehend racism. In the US the "race question" is more at the center of things. In Europe, or in my country at least, people are more discreet about it, just think about words, we don't call people with foreign origins "african-french" or "asian-french". There is not one institution (state, school, university, whatever) where you would be asked about your origins (I don't mean the nationality of course) or anything private for that matter like religion, etc. There is a huge racism problem in Europe, especially with the immigration crisis going on, it just manifests itself in a different way than in the US and we deal with it differently.

Dad Has To Change Son's Diaper In The Ladies’ Room And Gets Yelled At, Asks If He's The Jerk

Why is nobody questioning the screaming lady? I mean, did she took of her pants before entering the restroom? Was she naked? Was he naked? What's the difference between a lady changing diapers or a men changing diapers? Why did she started screaming in stead of assessing the situation? Is she socially r******d? Is this America?

Dad Has To Change Son's Diaper In The Ladies’ Room And Gets Yelled At, Asks If He's The Jerk

I don't have a baby but even I know that lots of places only have changing tables in the ladies' bathrooms. I don't think I'd give a moment's thought of a man changing a baby in there. And IF for some reason I'd feel uncomfortable, I'd just turn around and wait outside until he's done, no big deal. But likely I'd just go and do what I came to do, women's bathrooms don't have urinals, you'll go into a stall with a door, so who cares if the stranger listening to you pee is a men or a woman? As for the establishment, if for some reason it's not feasible to add a changing table to the men's room, you could also just separate the front area with the changing table and the sinks with a wall and door from the stalls. Then women have their privacy, guys can still change babies. Slap a sign outside that says women/changing table, job done.

Barring a minority of halfwits, the UK is one of the most tolerant and multicultural countries in the world. We welcome and embrace foreign culture to the point that an Indian dish is our national favourite. Speaking of food, there aren't many places in the world where you can choose from authentic Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Indian, Pakistani, Bangledeshi, African, Turkish, Greek, Italian, Polish and British food all in one town or city. But yes, racist to the core.

People don't pretend racism doesn't exist elsewhere. The difference is that the USA built that racism into their laws, and many actively fought against them being removed. The fact that just over 50 years ago there were laws that said a black man could not marry a white woman in some parts is insane to most countries. Of course an interracial marriage in Europe would no doubt also meet prejudice and racism, but it was not the government saying that that prejudice is correct and must be followed.

My state, Queensland, in Australia is two and a half times the size of Texas. And Western Australia is almost 4 times as big. Yet Australians are some of the most travelled people on the planet, particularly the girls.

The size of your country doesn't alter how easy it is to get on a plane and go to a different country - carbon footprint aside. Travelling doesn't = cultured either. You can learn about other cultures and stay put and you can travel and learn very little - a lot depends on the person.

Hmmm...dunno, 'bout the reasoning given here - Australia isn't a great deal smaller than the US and we're a long way from a lot of places, yet we're big on travelling and we definitely hold a lot more passports percentage wise than the US.

“I Accepted A No Tip Order”: Driver Sparks Debate After Sharing How She Accidentally Accepted A “No Tip” Order

May be wrong, but from what I can make out it was a slow day for orders, she was waiting as there were none coming through. She then accepted the first one which did come through, without looking to see if there was a tip. The 20 is what she gets paid for picking up and delivering the groceries, which were worth 267. Batch pay is the 20, so the fee that she gets for doing the order.

Americans Share Harsh Truths The Rest Of The World Is Probably Not Ready To Hear Yet, Here Are Their 30 Answers

It was probably more because it's a very sweeping statement. Agree with a lot of the sentiment being said, but Europe is a very big place, with very differing exposure to other cultures and races. To just say that anywhere outside of the main cities is always racist is a bit much.

Mom Is Disgusted With How Daycare Worker Treats Her Daughter, Reports It To The Director And Gets Her Fired

Where's the obsessive stalker information in this post? Is she sat outside their house at night because I missed that bit

I have one question for your post. Why can't you take your before and after pictures from the same perspective?

Mom Is Disgusted With How Daycare Worker Treats Her Daughter, Reports It To The Director And Gets Her Fired

"Obsessive stalker"? Wow, careful on that slippery slope.

15 "Questions I Have For The Man Who Built My House"

I'm trying to figure out what she means by "this article is satire." What is she satirizing? People who don't understand that the person who built their house might have had different priorities and preferences than they do?

15 "Questions I Have For The Man Who Built My House"

Why would you buy a house knowing that it had these issues? Did you get a home inspection before you bought it?

Mom Is Disgusted With How Daycare Worker Treats Her Daughter, Reports It To The Director And Gets Her Fired

This woman is jealous and it's actually really sad that she's upset that her child is forming a loving bond with someone else. You've got someone that loves and cares about your child. That's a good thing and you're turning this into the worker being creepy is what's really concerning. This is jealousy and insecurities at its worst. So much so that you're twisting a normal bond and affection into something negative to make people think something is wrong when it's not. As a mother of 4 kids myself I know other people loving and caring for my kids is something that we should hold dear. Because there are some very awful people in this world. So when a person comes along that wants to treat my child with as much love as I do. I would never deny them that experience and think it's odd when someone else wants to share and show that love as well to my children. This woman really needs to talk with someone who can help her mentally, emotionally, and psychologically. All I can say is her reaction to this is abnormal and not healthy for her child or her.

35 Times People Were Caught Being Completely In The Wrong

I’d prefer my taxes went to education or healthcare rather than to washing graffiti off public buildings. Someone pays for this, and if they don’t then more and more people do it and the area looks horrible and attracts more issues.

35 Times People Were Caught Being Completely In The Wrong

It's the contradiction between his attitude in the 2 posts. In the first he is suggesting that spending 46,500 a month in living costs is not extravagant for someone like him, but at the same time complaining that other people won't work for 14 dollers an hour

35 Times People Were Caught Being Completely In The Wrong

Is this maybe a cultural thing? Seems to be a lot of comments and upvotes thinking this is ok. Growing up in Scotland, graffiti obviously happens, but regardless of what type of building it is or what is used, it's not considered an acceptable thing or anything that an adult should be encouraging

35 Times People Were Caught Being Completely In The Wrong

Depends on where. If you live in countries where your law-given rights cannot be signed off by a contract, then most likely: No! If an employer had tried anything like this in Scandinavia or in the EU, it would be illegal.

Husband Comes Up With The Idea Of Pretending To Be His Wife On A Call With The Bank To Be Able To Sort Out Her Account Issue

Or I just have a basic understanding of the rules and regulations they need to follow, which by the way are mostly dictated by third party and government bodies to protect customers, not the banks. How would you like it if someone like a carer got your elderly mother to phone up her bank and told her what to say to make transfers for made up bills? Then the bank said it was ok because she had answered the security question? Unfortunately things like that happen, and the only thing that can help stop it is banks following these rules to minimise the risk

Husband Comes Up With The Idea Of Pretending To Be His Wife On A Call With The Bank To Be Able To Sort Out Her Account Issue

Problem from what he has said in the story (least what is published here) is that the account holder didn't give him permission to speak on her behalf, he just gave her the phone then was telling her what to say. Once it's established that someone is feeding the account holder what to say, you do not know that what is being said is the actual account holders wishes. For all you know this could be a vulnerable customer, who is being fed what to say in order to take advantage of them.

As far as the cable one goes this is what my old employer did "we have reason to believe that a person with all of this account holders information is attempting to access this account fraudulently. Because of that positive photo ID will be required. You can go to our lobby, or we could schedule a meeting at your home if you are unable to travel"

“So TikTok Got Me Fired”: Woman In The Tech Industry Loses Her New Job After Her Employer Finds Her TikTok Account

The issue is - and it's a big one in terms of compensation - she worked there for two weeks. Compensation is based on two things, how long you worked there, and how long it was before you got another job. So it's two weeks, and sounds like she got her old job back quickly. So the 'financial hardship' of being fired was minimal. Lost earnings is almost zero. The best she could hope for is punitive damages to discourage that company from firing people in future.

Gen Xer Shares How He Was Accused Of 'Sexual Harassment' For Using ‘80s Reference That His Gen Z Colleague Didn't Understand

I agree that accusations can have serious consequences, but in this specific case he explains that HR asked to speak to him because the woman said he made an inappropriate comment, he explained what he actually said, and everyone laughed it off, he even says his story was just meant to be an "amusing take of miscommunication". My point is in this scenario, he shouldnt let this incident build up into a feeling that anything he says to the younger people is going to be taken as offence and he should withdraw from being able to join in conversation

Gen Xer Shares How He Was Accused Of 'Sexual Harassment' For Using ‘80s Reference That His Gen Z Colleague Didn't Understand

The marketing woman is an idiot, however this guy needs relax a bit. The woman overreacted to nothing, and has made a fool of herself, and no doubt everyone at the office will be talking about that time she reported someone to HR for quoting a jingle that was in no way sexual. There is no need to jump straight to the "everyone is too PC now, we all have to police what we say" line. Laugh if off as a nonsense that happened at work from a young colleague, and unless you are actually likely to say something offensive for some reason, no need to worry before talking.

Erika needs to get over herself, and stop trying to create drama she can post online. This women is not "blocking them from their garage", they are demanding this woman gives them access through her clicker. It's a garage where the access is restricted. Her boyfriend was trying to tailgate into the garage because he did not have a clicker. The woman was perfectly entitled to stop someone else getting access through her. They could have just said sorry, his girlfriend had the clicker and either shown it, or asked her to allow the gate to close and then they could open it themselves.

Woman Refuses To See Her Niece And Sister-In-Law After They Trim Her Houseplants And Sell The Cuttings On Marketplace

Basic facts are they stole from her. It may be plants, but it's still something of value which she owns, which they took when she was away and putting her trust in them, and sold for profit. If they had helped themselves to her jewellery and sold that, would her brother still expect her to play happy families with them? Perfectly reasonable to cut these people out her life.

50 Important Historical Photos That Might Change Your Perspective On Things (New Pics)

I do get your point, images like that are often used in a very simple manner, without looking at the wider context of the times, and complexity of individual societies. However, you equally cannot dismiss the importance of images like that. Being able to dress as they please, keep their hair uncovered and receive an education were choices woman fought to have, and is a visual symbol of the progress that had been made for women in that society. Woman still had freedom issues in the 70s, but progress had been made and now they cannot even get an education, or travel without an escort in many situations in Afghanistan.

23 Y.O. Son Tells His Parents He’ll Never Speak To Them Again After Finding Out They’re Paying For Sister’s Education Yet Didn’t Pay For His

The poster isn't an Ahole, but without getting the full information from his parents, it's probably not as black and white as he thinks. For all he knows there may have been debts etc back in 2016 which meant they didn't have the money then, that are now paid off meaning they can afford to support the sister more. Also, a lot of the time when you get shares through an employer, part of the conditions are that you need to hold them for a minimum period before you can sell, usually years. If the dad only started working for companies like that in 2006, he possibly did not have many that he could sell in 2016 compared to now.

“This Isn’t Motivation”: A Picture Of A Gas Station Employee Working While Taking Care Of A Newborn Raises Awareness Of Toxic Positivity Online

Aside from the general discussion about poor working conditions, I feel it's unfair to discuss this particular picture and make assumptions. If as it says above the picture has actually been around the for a few years now, the post that started this conversation is completely made up. For all we know the family may own the gas station and she could be stepping in to help out for a short period while someone runs an errand etc. Or an emergency could have resulted in her needing to have the child with her as a one off. Who knows. If we find out the circumstances and it turns out she has needed to bring a baby to work because of poverty, lack of maternity leave etc, then by all means hold this up as what is wrong, but don't start putting an image of this woman all over the internet and making up scenarios without her input
