Reply to comment by monkey_sage in Canada House of Commons unanimously agrees to describe residential schools as genocide by shpydar
It remains strange to me. Mind you, my adoptive German-speaking granddad was constantly explaining why Nazis were evil. So many WW2 documentaries. He knew he wasn’t to blame for what happened before he was even born, but he knew it was important to teach kids that genocide of any kind was morally wrong. He didn’t want us to repeat the mistakes of the past.

It can infect humans, based on the reading I’ve done. It just is usually asymptomatic but can cause flu-like symptoms. I imagine it has to do with which strain you’re dealing with.

Reply to What’s the Correct Color of Bees? In Austria, It’s a Toxic Topic. by MySixSense
I’ll admit that I didn’t expect bee racism to be a problem but then again I run into people who think different colors of Labradors are different breeds.
