2/2
I was pissed off, but being as well-behaved as an outraged 13 yr old can be.

Told my parents that evening.

Next morning they told me to go ahead and check out A Tale of Two Cities from the school library.

(Yes, I've always read, a lot. Book fiend. Bookish. Whatever. That's not the point here.)

Don't be telling people what they can and cannot read.
Book banning is stupid.
Stupid people ban books because they're stupid people.

When I was in Grade 7 (13yrs old), I tried to check out Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities from the school library.
A very stupid teacher (I still remember his name) informed me that it wasn't allowed. It was too much for me. (At the time I was reading Dickens' entire ouvre for my own fun)

Tried logic with him, it's available to me at the public library. No go.

I wasn't used to being told I was too stupid for any book.

Kenapa aku harus tinggal di kota buruk seperti ini? Orang-orang di sini kebanyakan buruk, mencari yang baik atau pintar sulit.

Absolutely wonderful news.

The comments from the hard of thinking on the Facebook share, on the other hand, make me shudder for the future.

What we have is a huge investment both in rail and tram infrastructure throughout South Yorkshire improving reliability, speeds, increasing electrification and providing an additional station for Rotherham where two lines come together (the obvious location for a railway interchange - see photo).

So what do those with the mental capacity of a hotdog sausage think?

🔸The station is in the wrong place. It should be in the town centre" (see stations : Rotherham station)
🔸 We've already got Masborough Station (which closed in 1987 when Rotherham Central opened)
🔸 The trams hardly get used (try finding a seat during rush hour on a tram, or when there's an event on at the arena, or even when there's a football match on)

It's the typical scenario with the UK to be honest. An improvement to a service is announced and all the people who never use the service chime in about what is there already is absolutely fine (despite them never using it) and how we should spend the money on the roads. Always roads.

Oh and keeping small boats out.

Unfortunately such a topical topic: "Masse und Macht" ("Crowds and Power") by Elias Canetti. Read it! #politics #trumpism #stupidpeople #humanity
Possible motive revealed after medical helicopter, onboard nurse hit by gunfire in central Alabama

Court filings are revealing a possible motive after a man was arrested Wednesday for allegedly firing multiple shots, hitting a medical helicopter and one of the medics onboard as it was responding to an emergency call.

Telling your mother - who raised a severely physically disabled child (me) and two other sons while being married to an abusive tyrant of a husband - that parenting is oh-so-hard because your wife decided to work the holiday weekend at the hospital, and you had to watch over your two able-bodied kids (ages 12 and 13) at home isn’t really a good look, bro.

Oy.
