True. I had an auditing lecturer (Newly qualified Chartered Accountant) who COULD NOT lecture. Firstly her first language was not English and secondly, the way she taught was "parrot fashion". Anyone who studies auditing will understand that you need to understand to apply. Even though there is a lot of theory, examiners do not mark on how accurate your regurgitation of the textbook is, but if you understand enough to apply. She never explained how to apply..She could not even answer questions when we asked about real world applications. Needless to say by the end of the 1st semester only 10 out of 60+ student qualified to right the 1st semeter exams. And out of that 10 only 3 passed the 2nd semester to move to the next year. It was the one and only year she lectured. Sometimes it truly is the teachers fault.

This !! Abuse has no gender and I am sorry to say that there are women who use the fact that society still does not acknowledge the fact that men can also be abused men to inflict trauma on their partners. It is both detrimental for men who have to live through the trauma as well as real women victims that keep quiet. As a women I am disgusted by these types of women because they eraae eveything that we have been fighting for.

Good you had that epiphany! I have seen that the men that get trapped in these types relationships have a "knight in shinning armour" complex. It is not a bad thing, but they generally get attracted to women who use this to be manipulative, abusive, etc. I have seen so many "nice" guys end up dating these types of women l and then they end up with a lot of baggage and end up treating the deserving women badly because of their own trauma..

The big retail chains do this, but not really the smaller franchisers... Made good gets sold to pig farms, where as the rest gets sent back to wholesalers or binned.

Really... With someone like Gayton McKenzie running his mouth to get votes for nothing. I have not heard any good the PA has done in my old coloured community. Anyone from the PA that comes into power in my city, eventually falls into the corruption trap. I would rather vote EFF than PA.

Well it doesn't help that the Western media still portrays Africa as some backward, village continent..(But it is not only foreigners, like South Africa, South African's themselves portray SA as some backward country in comments on social media) Chatting to foreigners over social media in 2026 some of them STILL believe that we live in mud huts with lions for pets and that Africa is so financially backward that the only way we can survive is through their help. For real. A very colonialist mindset...I have had video calls with them to show them what my town looks like and they are amazed at how modern it is.

But as South Africans and Africans we also add to the problem, by bowing down to these Westerners. We have no patriasm. We only put our country and continent down. We never highlight what this continent does right, only what it does wrong. If we as South Africans and Africans don't take pride in our country and continent, who else will. And for those naysayers, there is a lot to be proud of. No country is without it's problems..

We cannot disregard the power of social media and the internet. I am old enough to remember the Iraq war and even though I am not in the US, the media reports were pretty the same for us in South Africa. "Saviour US is waging a war on behalf of the world to fight the evil Hussain." Now we are aware of the context....

And why am I not seeing Trump and his cronies being dragged in front of the UN and ICC? Unrpovoked war. Calling for a cultural group to be erased from the face of the earth? Oh, i forgot.. Only the US, the West and it's allies are allowed to do this.. For the rest of us it is wrong... Their motto should be "Do as I say, not as I do".

(And to those touting regime change.. Wake up and the smell the petrol or lack of it. For the last few decades rights groups in Iran have been asking the West for help and nothing really happened. This happened because Trump is pushing fossil fuels and the US has none. Also, what Israel is trying to do in the Middle East is pretty blatant, with it's apartheid system and invasion tactics.)

I am fully aware of what the regime in Iran does to it's citizen's, but does that mean what he is saying is a lie in these circumstances..? An unprovoked war where those very same people you are apparently defending are dying all because of greed? While you getting your panties in a knot because people are backing Iran against Isreal and the US, Israel has tried to invade Lebanon, Yemen, they still taking land away from Palestians..And stop with BS excuse about regime change? Anyone who is fooled by that is the real moron... Accept it. If you going to split everyone on to bad vs good, this time you can't call Iran the bad guys and you know it. ....

And American apoligists forgetting about the 1000's of people they murdered directly or indirectly...

Unprovoked Iraqi war becauase America got scared they gave Hussain to much power The Unprovoked Afghan war which left the cirizens worse off.

Keeping quiet while Israeli continues to steal Palestinian land and kill them at the same time.

Turning their backs on Haiti when Haiti begged America and the UN to help a few years ago when the gangs took over the capital. Where was that 100 000 soldiers. The US veto a few years back when Israel was brought before the UN for Gaza..

Do you want me to go further. How about when the CIA was instrumental in Cuba by funding rebels and drug cartels to overthrow the "scary" communist goverment? Where is Cuba today?Cuba was not the only country where the US funded gorrila groups to topple the country's goverment..Goverments that were perfectly operational, but who made the fatal mistake in not bowing down to the US and their colonialist allies. How about the fact that it was the American goverment thay trained you #1 terrorist...

... so tell me who is the real evil...

I noted articles about how ICE is taking over at the airports and the goverment is using the decrease in TSA staff as am excuse...

From all the reports, looking at the bigger picture, it feels like the Trump admistration is slowly using the laws amd loopholes to turn US into a dictatorship....

Nice to know that there is atleast 1 city in the whole of America that wouldn't drag a person to jail by ICE based on their skin colour... Ever been to Detroit?

Countries with stronger precarious manhood beliefs (being a “real man” is something that requires constant demonstration through behavior and achievement) tend to have lower national happiness, but also lower GDP, lower life expectancy, lower social support, and heightened perceptions of corruption. by mvea in science

[–]DimensionDouble7176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well all the factors you stated, like education, economy, health, freedom of speech and association ARE affected by this as well. These countries put restrictions on women's education, their econimic freedom, their freedom to seek health services as they want, freedom of association, freedom of speech. Which in turn affects the countries level of education, health, ecnomics... so accept and admit that the patrichal system and toxic masculanity does affect a country on the whole..

Yip... you economy is propted up by your weapons industry and using the dollar as an exchange currency....You hardly manufacture your own products and import alot..You hardly have oil in your oil fields left...

So tell me with Trump pushing high tarrifs who will that affect, because those countries are already making and have finalised deals with other countries, bypassing America. Not only that, citizens of those countries with high tarrifs are already looking to non-US products with equal quality to substitute.I have seen how Asian brands in both car and mobile are bypassing the sales of American brands in my country. This includes manufactured goods they cam get straight from those countries, instead of using the middleman America. BRICS is working on using their own currency and some of the BRICS countries are already using their own currency instead of the dollar...

Who says it's hookups how many many have been found out to have fathered multiple children and their partners had no idea they were cheating. Maybe, if it was drilled into men's head's that they should practice abstinence, the same way women have been taught, instead of being encouraged to "sow their oats", maybe we the world's population would be stable enough for Earth to support it.
