You SHOULD know this, because it is INCREDIBLY important and something that wasn’t acknowledged until very, VERY recently.
(I did a history project on this in Y9. We got to do something from the 20th century; everyone else did, like, Marilyn Monroe, and I read a translation of Moi, Pierre Seel, déporté homosexuel and then did my project on that. Cheerful, no, but important to know about, yes.)
whaaaaat, seriously?!
In 1950, East Germany abolished Nazi amendments to Paragraph 175, whereas West Germany kept them and even had them confirmed by its Constitutional Court.
Well, that’s horrifying.
The fuck…
Holy shit. I had no idea.

classe: VIVA LA DDR!
Oh, cazzarola…
I actually had to look this up on Google to believe it. Sadly, it’s true.

Sweden keeps forced sterilization law for trans people
Members of the Swedish government have announced they will not change the current law requesting transgender people to undergo sterilisation.
A majority of the Swedish Parliament is for an abolishment of the law but a small conservative party is putting a halt to the change. […]
The 1972 law being kept in force states that a person wanting their gender reconsidered by the state has to be over 18 years old, unmarried and sterilised.
Transgender persons are also banned from storing sperm or eggs in a sperm/egg bank for future use.
What the actual fuck?

Quando affonderà e il gasolio si spargerà su mezzo Tirreno con tutte le relative conseguenze, manderei quel parroco e quella statua a ripulire e a ripagare i danni.
E aggiungo: qualcuno dica a quella madre che dopo 8 giorni le speranze che la sua bambina sia ancora viva non ci sono.
Vadano a mettere in sicurezza la nave, invece di continuare a cercare cadaveri.

in america i federali hanno chiuso megaupload, il sito di file sharing a cui faceva capo megavideo, che manco sto a spiegarvi cosa sia, a voi che vivete nell’internet.
il fondatore del sito rischia una condanna pesantissima. si parla di pene che arrivano anche a un paio di decenni di carcere, da scontarsi con 54 minuti d’aria ogni 72 minuti di cella.

I want to feel a passion for the things I like, and stop feeling it for these things I don’t really like. Does this sentence even make sense? Let’s make it different: I want to like the things I know I like. But perhaps I’m confusing terms. When one says he likes writing, it’s a lie. What he…
The Global Gender Gap Report 2011
The World Economic Forum released their 2011 Global Gender Gap Report:
[…] a framework for capturing the magnitude and scope of gender-based disparities and tracking their progress. The Index benchmarks national gender gaps on economic, political, education and health-based criteria, and provides country rankings that allow for effective comparisons across regions and income groups, and over time. The rankings are designed to create greater awareness among a global audience of the challenges posed by gender gaps and the opportunities created by reducing them.
The best 20?
- Iceland
- Norway
- Finland
- Sweden
- Ireland
- New Zealand
- Denmark
- Philippines
- Lesotho
- Switzerland
- Germany
- Spain
- Belgium
- South Africa
- Netherlands
- United Kingdom
- United States
- Canada
- Latvia
- Cuba
Compared to the last year, the top 10 nations remain in the same position (except for Philippines and Lesotho that switched position). United States was 19°, United Kingdom was 15° and Germany was 13°. Italy, where I live, is 74° this year, the same of last year (at least we are not worse).
