Before anyone beats me to it, I'm aware that the US was built on stolen land worked by stolen humans, making the claim of "freedom" to be... dubious at best.

But what other outdated beliefs are there about your country??

This is the headquarters of the National Fisheries Development Board (NFDB) in Hyderabad, India. This building is just so weird and funny.

Pappu Devi is a woman from Pushkar, Rajasthan, India. She went viral for her striking "Tigress Eyes," which were captured in a photo over 20 years ago. She runs a small stall in Pushkar and has lived there for decades. She also has a daughter who has similarly distinctive eyes.

*“Islam must adapt to Sweden.” A statement now sparking heated debate.

Sweden’s Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch has reignited national and international debate after supporting a ban on the burqa and niqab in all public places. According to the statement circulating online, Busch argues that Islam must adapt to Swedish society rather than being practiced in the same way as in Muslim majority countries.

Supporters of the proposal say it promotes integration, gender equality, and shared civic values. Critics warn that such a ban would restrict religious freedom and disproportionately target Muslim women, deepening social division instead of reducing it.*

I searched this group before I posted. Here is my opinion on my country, but my country probably has many. What’s your tourist destination that leaves people shaking their heads?

In India, revealing a baby’s sex before birth is illegal. Doctors are not allowed to disclose it during ultrasounds.

This surprises many foreigners because in most of the countries, parents openly find out the baby’s sex and even have gender reveal parties.

The reason for the ban is India’s history of sex-selective abortions, especially favoring male children. This led to a serious gender imbalance in some regions. To combat this, the government introduced the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act, which prohibits prenatal sex determination except for medical reasons.

Whether people agree with it or not, the law was meant to address deep-rooted social bias and protect female children.

In Bulgaria it’s the чушкопек (chushkopek). It is a small electric cylinder with a hot ceramic liner and a slot for one pepper. There are also triple models that roast three at once. You drop in a pepper, the skin blisters all around in a few minutes, you pull it out, let it steam, and the peel slides off. This is all it does, it cooks peppers.

I briefly considered Jordan Peterson, but I think he's dead or something.

In 2019, a photo of Justin Trudeau, the previous prime minister of Canada, wearing ‘brownface’ make-up at a 2001 gala at a private school he taught at was leaked. Trudeau had to make a public apology soon after. It can be argued by many Canadians that this photo is one of the most embarrassing for the country in recent history.

Words cannot describe the hate I feel for Woodrow

The "Immovable Ladder" in Jerusalem's Church of the Holy Sepulchre can't be moved because of a 1757 agreement called the Status Quo, which requires the unanimous consent of the church's six Christian denominations for any changes to be made.

Since the denominations cannot agree on the ladder's fate, it has remained in the same place for centuries, becoming a symbol.
