Ban YouTube Like Tik Tok

-

India is one of the countries that banned Tik Tok because it thinks the app might use the data for spying. It should also ban YouTube after the Delhi High Court ruling about Aaradhya Bachchan. The 11 year-old wanted the court to tell YouTube to desist from posting videos claiming she was sick, even suggesting she was ‘no more.’

Indian and Nigerian actors and actresses are used to it. It’s no surprise to wake up in the morning, switch on their phones or laptops and read that they’re dead. The Delhi High Court granted Aaradhya Bachchan her plea and sent a message to YouTube that such videos must be taken down. YouTube compiled and will also provide names of who started the lie: source URLs.

Aaradhya Bachchan is just one of the children that are harmed by online lies and frightening adult content. YouTube is aware of sites that have been selling children for years. It also knows content that will harm children playing in the sun, not aware that the approaching car, has satanic intentions for them. India banned Tik Tok based on what might happen, a probability.

The Delhi High Court is not guess work. It has strong language for videos that harm children and it specifically said all children, not just celebrity children like Aaradhya Bachchan. Before this case, the world just sighed and lamented about the evils of the internet. What can we do? What is bad, Tik Tok or YouTube? They are equally bad therefore, America which ordered all vassal countries to ban Tik Tok, must also ban YouTube. The harm to children justifies it.

Ban YouTube? It’s too big. It can never happen. It can, the same way India banned Tik Tok, to protect kids' data.

Elections And Political Bullies

-

Forget democracy.   It should be called political bullying. We are watching it in the prelude to the Canadian election on the 19 th of October, 2015.   Americans have also started their political bullying for the looming presidential election next year. So many trees wasted on books about democracy.   Some countries have big budgets for invading other countries ‘ to defend democracy’ but it is seldom practised in campaigning for elections.   Calling opponents names and printing flyers attacking each other is behaviour that will not be tolerated in kindergarten, but it is all legal, in campaigning.   It is irritating and such a let-down to the whole notion of democracy.   Grown-up men and women behaving like Grade One kids. It is also misleading because many voters believe it is real hatred.   Don’t let that fool you.   These politicians play golf together, attend the same dinner parties, eat and drink at the same social events, share jokes and cut deals in parliament.   They

Comfort Food As Regret Food

-

Chicken curry. Comfort food is good for the soul, which usually bleeds in winter from icy roads, bad drivers that want to annihilate pedestrians, frozen fingers and toes that take a sabbatical.   What happened to my toes?   I thought I was wearing special socks for boots? We therefore have a right to comfort food which throws doctors’ orders out of the window and has no loyalty to calories.   No calculator on the table, thanks very much.   Piece of bread 5 calories, half a banana 10 calories, sugar-free cheesecake 2,000 calories.   Ah! Ah!  We only live once. Naw!   Comfort food is old school food with its compulsory second helping.   It involves licking fingers and giving a big sigh, about the good life, which is shelter, food, love and debt.   The problem is the zip.   The jeans remind you that comfort food can also be called you will regret food .   Home sweet home is even sweeter in winter after surviving blowing snow and bumper to bumper traffic. What is more welcoming th

No Air Miles

I don’t have Air Miles.   I’m considering putting that on a T-Shirt because I cannot go to the drugstore (chemist) or coffee shop without the cashier asking me if I have air miles. We waited for about two minutes the other day, while this guy looked for his Air Miles card in his overweight wallet.   For what?   For a few points. I don’t have air miles because Mathematics is a foreign language.   I was never good in numbers. That is why I squashed the idea of being an investment banker very early in life.   I understand you can invest in cornfields before the soil is turned up or pork bellies even before a baby pig is born. That is how I view air miles, investing in tomorrow or the unknown.   I’m the dumb one.   Some people understand this air miles’ thing so well, I overheard one customer saying: I can even convert my points into cash. Points and air miles are the same thing in Canada and the U.S.   Drugstores or clothing stores even give you a card to collect point
