Bollicks...

Couldn't agree more

As already stated, but which clearly went over your head, this is almost certainly in response to your litigious society and absurd legal system.

If a kid scratched herself playing school, some witless parent would sue the school for millions - and probably win.

This has nothing to do with the Nanny State and everything to do with covering legal arses.

It's just indicitive of the prevailing moonbat mind-set there and across the St. Croix River in MN. As an aside, I attended a outdoor concert there in Stevens Point back in the day - seemed like a real bucolic place.

Swedish Flag Banned in Swedish School for Being “Racist”

The USA isn’t the only country where moonbats have been repressing flags. In Sweden they have taken the next logical step by banning the national flag on the grounds that it is “offensive against ethnic groups.”

These crime-prone, welfare-dependent, largely unassimilable ethnic groups have been imported from the Third World by a government hostile to the people it rules in order to displace them.

At least America isn’t dying alone.

The ban was imposed at Söndrum school in Halmstad. It may be superfluous, because the principal, Hans Åkerlund, “believes that by using the Swedish flag one may be guilty of violating the racism law.”

But in a country ruled by leftists, you can never have too many bans and laws.

One school with a nutjob principal does not the whole country make. Jeez Booners, I know it was a big gay day and all, but no need to play the drama queen!

Mom Charged With Endangerment for Letting 7-Year-Old Play in Park Right Across the Street

A 7-year-old in Westbrook, Maine, was playing at the park within eyesight of her family’s house. Someone called 911 (of course) and the police swooped in. They took the girl to the precinct because, as this WMTW reporter notes, “Mom wasn’t watching.”

What? Mom didn’t devote her afternoon to sitting at the side of the park and watching her child’s every move? Tsk, tsk. The child was on her own for about an hour, and as Police Chief Janine Roberts told the reporter, “That’s a long time for a 7-year-old girl to be by herself any place, let alone a park.”

Yes, the park is certainly the last place you’d ever want to see a kid hanging out. What kind of crazy mom would let her child go there?"

That's pretty fucked-up, man...

So, a seven year old was left alone in park for how long?

Roads, paedophiles etc....

Yes, it's too much to ask to supervise your kids.

You'd be the first to call for the perpetrator to be eviscerated if anything had happened

As usual - didn't read the article.

The kid was in eyesight of her home.

Let’s hope Jensen has learned her lesson: Parks aren’t for kids! They’re for real estate values. They’re props. You’re not supposed to let your kids actually, you know, play, in them.

If you watch to the end of the video, the reporter, David Charns, notes that the little girl and her brother are headed straight back to the park.

What sort of parent can't spare time to spend playing with their kids?

Just send them off to a park on their own, yeah great parenting that.

She stressed that her kids check in with her every hour, and the park is usually filled with other parents, who take turns watching each other’s children.

Note the word "usually"..... she didn't even check. Paying close attention then!

The kid is 7 years old for fucks sake. You gonna tell me your mommie held your hand every time you stepped outa the house when you were seven?

Well, probably now, upon further consideration, she probably had to!

Entitled white trash - if something had happened they'd shout 'black man, black man!!!' and how they always took such good care of their kids and how their kids were the best . . . sure, send a seven year old to a park down the road unsupervised.

Probably not a problem in many other countries, but the USA where every nutjob has a gun?

Here we go again!

NY Mayor Bill DeBlasio Wants to Make it Illegal to Smoke in Your Own Homes

Bill DiBlasio despises you and your freedom.

New Yorkers may soon not be able to smoke in their own homes, if Democratic New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio gets his way.
The New York Post reported on de Blasio’s new initiative to partner with health groups that will "pressure landlords" into banning smoking in apartment buildings.

"“That means smokers would be barred from lighting up in one of their last sanctuaries: their own living quarters," the paper said. "Smoking is already banned in public places, including bars and restaurants, workplaces, sports venues, and parks."

Bill De Blasio Hates Freedom | Washington Free Beacon

While this poster doesn't smoke the very idea of restricting a citizen from smoking in his or her own home is beyond the Orwellian dream.

Hurt someone’s feelings on the Internet in New Zealand, go to jail for two years

With Hobbit and LoTR in the can, Trolls no longer welcome in New Zealand
Kiwi parliament passes 'Harmful digital communications bill' outlawing online nasties.

New Zealand has become the latest country to think bad online manners are amenable to legislation.

The country last night passed a controversial bill, the Harmful Digital Communications Bill, in the hope of stemming “cyber-bullying”.

The bill creates a regime under which digital communications causing “serious emotional distress” are subject to an escalating regime that starts as “negotiation, mediation or persuasion” but reaches up to creating the offences of not complying with an order, and “causing harm by posting digital communication”.

The most serious offenders would face two years in jail or a maximum fine of NZ$50,000 (US$33,900).

After it passed by a 116-to-5 vote in New Zealand's parliament, Gareth Hughes, one of the four Greens MPs to vote against the bill, said it was overly broad and “risks limiting our freedom of expression”.

NZ Labour said it was “wedged” by the NZ government: while some of the bill was “worthy of discussion” the law has “deeply worrying” elements.

The bill covers posts that are racist, sexist, or show religious intolerance, along with hassling people over disability or sexual orientation.

There's also a new offence of incitement to suicide (three years' jail).

The regime will be enforced by a yet-to-be-established agency that will make contact with publishers and social media platforms, and if it can't resolve a complaint, the agency will be able to escalate it to the district court.

There's a safe harbour provision for Web sites, and here's where the free speech arises. A platform like Facebook or Twitter (if they bothered) can opt into the safe harbour – but only if they agree to remove allegedly offending material either on-demand or within the bill's 48-hour grace period.

New Zealand's National Business Review notes complaints that it could criminalise children over the age of 14.

InternetNZ told the outlet that the bill should be kept under review: “the risk is of unintended consequences, or chosen balances of rights not working out in practice.”

With Hobbit and LoTR in the can, Trolls no longer welcome in New Zealand ? The Register[716828551776354]&action_type_map=[%22og.likes%22]&action_ref_map=[]

Heh...love the clause - "There's also a new offence of incitement to suicide (three years' jail)."

Which means that if Landreth posted his message (in NZ) as of the other day for some of us to 'euthanize' ourselves I believe was his term - he could go to the Big House...

Not valid as there is no directive, no council/police advisory etc...

Prove it's real or it's simply more bullshit
