The name of this restaurant is not the problem for its owners. the problem is that the anti-woke revel in their stupidity. They don't even recognize that there are multiple meanings for many words. I would tell them they need to learn about homonyms but accuse me of being a groomer.

Only one of those things occurs outside the country’s borders. Only one of those things risks irreversible damage to nature.

In the UK, it’s illegal for any member of the public to carry a lethal or non-lethal self-defense weapon. The maximum sentence for possessing a weapon in the UK is 6 years in prison, whilst possessing firearms is 10 years. This includes pepper spray, any knife, or other weapon for self-defense. Any knife you can cary that opens one handed and locks...illegal. pepper spray...illegal to use. Your only option is to be faster or stronger than your attacker. Period.

From my job: really good that my large, international employer focuses on diversity and everyone feeling like they have no obstacles because of gender, sexuality, colour,... However, targeting 40% women in technical/engineering positions by 2025 when it's currently 30% and only 20% of graduates in engineering are women, is letting your perfectly fine ideas of equality run over the reality of the situation.
Also from my job: I've been denied an internal training because 'we are looking for a more diverse group'. Aka, we already have a few white men so we will now deny 70% of our workforce in light of 'diversity and equality'.
Oh or better! A big city in Belgium has publicly stated that if multiple applicants for a job have the same qualifications, they will chose the one from a minority group. Again, everyone deserves a job, but you can't justify obvious discrimination because it's not against a minority.

Most dangerous spiders, most dangerous snakes, most dangerous sharks, even fluffy things like Kangaroo are aggressive and now this. Just. Just avoid Australia. The people are great, but it’s barely worth the risk from Mother Nature 😆

The more you read on the story the crazier it gets. He's a "pastor", working with at-risk people fighting addiction issues...while being a drug dealer. He is married, but lives with his GF in one town while his wife and MIL live with 14 convicted sex offenders! It's just a whole lot of "Are you f'n kidding me?!" moments.

Yes, Chinese law enforcement is notoriously fair and even-handed.
> The US has had similar laws on the books in various states against infidelity, oral sex, and so on that just don't get enforced.
Had laws that weren't enforced versus have laws that are enforced is a huge difference.

Please give us some examples of "when good and necessary ideas are taken too far". Being vague just makes us assume the worst of you.

I think China fully meets every bullet point of "civilized."
The US has had similar laws on the books in various states against infidelity, oral sex, and so on that just don't get enforced.
An onion-y headline would be something like:
"Chinese province enacts ban on abortions after the 60th trimester"

Looks up to see the sign for a cafe containing a word that has no real meaning and immediately sets himself on fire.
