Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Enter a foreign country and start slinging hate speech, that's never gone wrong for anyone

If it was just them leaving the house and wanting to leave even if that is against the rules I don't think they would have gotten jail time, making online insults for no reason is the thing people won't be as accommodating for.

if this were some form of state enforced punishment over insulting islam or the like we’d see people throwing all kinds of derision

this kind of behavior for something so minor should elicit disgust

that said people should be respectful to other cultures or not go
