I’m Honestly Fed Up With All The Bad News, So I Illustrated 50 Of The Best Ones From 2019

Child marriage should not be tolerated anywhere.

This should have way more upvotes!

I am so happy for their victory, but just find it bonkers that an indigenous tribe had to fight a legal battle to protect their land in the first place.

This must make many people happy due to one act. Lovely initiative.

I had read about this in the news earlier this year. Good job, mate!

Norway you magical bastards, you give me hope.

Wow, that is a huge rise. Fantastic efforts.

Hopefully supermarkets worldwide can implement more eco friendly alternatives also.

More funding is needed for stem cell research. They have already discovered some incredible ways stem cells can help with paralysis and other movement disorders etc. Imagine what else they can discover.

Ducks will also be providing some fertilizer. Win Win

Hm, I think Sweden must have forgot to apply then. We dont have stray dogs, at least for decades. Any lost dog gets collected, if no owner is found it gets adopted via Animal Protection. I have seen one or two lost dogs, where we found the owner, but never a genuine stray.

Every country needs to do that - and stop whaling.

Steps like these show the power of the State in achieving large scale sustainable results if there is a will.

I'd appreciate daytime disco parties for people over 21

This should be worldwide. Adopt don’t shop.

Or buzz stops, as they should now be known.

SOOOO not against this! But....shouldn't it be equal pay for equal skill? (meaning, no race, gender, age, or any discrimination at all!) If you have more skill in the task, you get paid more, if you have less you get paid less. Plain and simple (yet I know it is more difficult to prove wrong-doing that way too)

Ahem, US enacted the Equal Pay Act of 1963.

Even when your taking the same exact job..if she takes off personal time for x,y,z...why should she get the same pay as the man that shows up and does the job...if anything men should get the same amount of personal time off as women

What does this mean? ain't people suposed to be payed equaly regarding their skill and effort, not gender?

I'm not sure what Iceland has done differently (I'm happy to learn just not have the time right now, feel free to educate me) but I'm fairly certain that many countries have had this law for ages (as my own country - the Czech Republic). The issue is more about enforcing this law. No matter what - it's definitely a step in a good direction.

This artical obviously referencing the 'Wage Gap'. People would do well to actually look at the studies and dig a little bit, the 70 cents for every dollar stat is based on studies on the gross life time earning by gender, they are NOT a study of Sally makes $14 and Tim makes $20 an hour. The difference is primarily do to time off for child rearing and a quirk that females tend towards careers that make less (not my opinion, just the numbers) more female Nurses and teachers for example. Whether those careers should make less could be a debate for sure. This idea is even debunked by some feminist organisations because its misleading. I am sure wage gaps are a thing in some places but people have tried and we can't currently prove that beyond the anecdotal stage as there to many variables, my opinion is one could likely argue and prove that age has a larger factor than gender, much less skill and competence.

and yet women and men are payed the same for the same job in every single modern country I've lived in. Virtue signaling gets you no where

Now just end the awful whale hunts!

Some of my own peers have a problem with the term 'equal rights' for men and women. Is there anyone that understands this or shares that view? I honestly don't get it.

Not true. America made this the law in 1965. Oh! You mean equal payment for different hours in different job? You could have just said that to avoid being a pseudo-journalist hack spreading slander against the male sex that's purely intended to inflame hatred.

Legal pay is already enforced and a las in the united states. You can sue companies if they are openly paying men more then women or vice versa. There is not “equal pay” because it does not account for the fact that less women have jobs, less hours worked, or jobs/positions. It is simply a statistic, no company has different salary for women $ men, nor does the military

The united states literally has had a law about this for over 40 years. The equal pay act of 1963.

And how is the US NOT this country??

Well recent studies have shown that one of the biggest reasons men in America are being paid more then women is because men are naturally more bold and confident, so they will ask for raises more frequently then women. There is a gap but if women gained some more confidence the they might get paid the same. And some women do which is awesome. But it's just fact that if you are good at your job and you are confident enough to ask for more raises, then you will get paid more then someone who is just as skilled but lacks confidence. If you take gender out it is still about skill and confidence, not man or woman.

No true. Australia introduced it in 1964. Other countries have too.

Western feminists like to complain about the "wage gap" but never when it benefits them, such as when Google was discovered to be paying its female engineers a higher wage than their male co-workers of equal responsibility. Ironically, it was a lawsuit by female employees claiming Google was discriminating against female employees that made Google reveal its data to show that they were actually paying women more than men. Anyway, many countries, such as America, have already been paying women the same wages as men, despite how in most cases, they do much less work and take more time off. In the many jobs I had before settling with my current career, it was always my female co-workers relying on men to do the "hard" work so why should they be entitled to raises? Promotions? Work harder, ladies, and you'll find yourself being recognized and rewarded more often. As for Iceland and its law, it's one of the countries that is really late to enforce equal pay.

1. The US has several of these laws 2. According to studies by the (private feminist organization) American Association of University Women and the (government agency) Bureau of Labor Statistics show that men and women make pretty much the same after controlling for things like job choice, experience, education, etc... It's just not common knowledge because sensationalist media like this website keep propagating misinformation and suckers buy into it without exercising a healthy level of skepticism I know most people won't read these but in case you want to, you can find the numbers in the conclusion sections: https://www.aauw.org/files/2013/02/graduating-to-a-pay-gap-the-earnings-of-women-and-men-one-year-after-college-graduation.pdf https://www.shrm.org/hr-today/public-policy/hr-public-policy-issues/Documents/Gender%20Wage%20Gap%20Final%20Report.pdf

This actually makes it seem like other countries willfully pay women less, which is a lie.

But how do you say both jobs are equal..take an actor.. should milly bobby brown be paid the same as tom cruise..both do the same job

Gender equality!!?

Where I work, women who apply for jobs set their salary expectations way lower than the average men, but as we believe in equal pay these women also get a nice surprise when their offers way exceed their expectations. I assume they ask for less as they get paid less elsewhere, but I also wonder if there are other factors why men ask for more money.

This is something I can celebrate 🎉 should be world wide

I beg to differ. China has already done it in the 90s. Both the Constitution (1982)(Article 48) and the law of Labor (1994)(Article 56) have legally enforced equal pay for women and men.

Agree Marc.
