Far right puts brakes on a new law that aims to stamp out homophobia in Italy

 I’ve read an article about fighting against homophobia in Italy. About 2 weeks ago a gay couple who kissed at a metro station in Rome were attacked. One of the man was hit and kicked by an aggressor after kissing his boyfriend who also got kicked. A bill that would extend the rights of LGBT people didn’t pass through the Senate. The reasons were changes in the Senate and resistance from far-right politicians.

I support activits, but the problem of homophobia affects people all over the world. I find it scary that people in the 21st century are afraid to be themselves and have to pretend to be someone to feel safe. It's also ridiculous that there are people who say that being different is synonymous with a disease that needs to be treated. Everyone has the right to their own opinion as long as it does not pose a threat to someone's safety or life, because freedom of speech and hate speech are two different things.

    As I understand, this incident wasn't even about hate speech but it was a pure act of violence, which is a criminal offence, no matter what it was motivated by.
    And I absolutely agree that being different should automatically make you a target of discrimination, hatred and persecution.

Underwater pyramid in the Azores

Obraz
  At the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, a large pyramid-shape was found. The top of the pyramid is 40 meters deep and 60 meters high and covers an area of ​​8,000 m2. The underwater pyramid was discovered by a local angler in September this year during one of his trips. This angler claims that the pyramid must have been built with human hands and it may be the mythical Atlantis. However, not everyone is convinced that the find from the Azores is a pyramid. Skeptics that there is a chance that this is just an underwater volcanic hill, not a residual Atlantean civilization. (it’s because Azores are archipelago of nine volcanic islands and that’s why people are not convinced about the theory of underwater city)    https://curiosmos.com/is-there-a-20000-year-old-underwater-pyramid-in-the-atlantic-ocean/

Observation 7

Some time ago I’ve read an article in which the author considered whether online or stationary education is better. „E-learning” had and in some places still have its pros and cons. To answer which side wins we probably would hace to ask many people, because everyone has their own opinion. Personally I agree with the author of this text. Spending many hours in front of the computer, not seeing friends for quite a long time and being home for many weeks was definetely very challenging for everyone. Everybody could feel negative effects of that education method despite the fact that, as it was said, we spend great part of our lives in the internet. I’m sure it was pretty interesting experience but if we ever go back to those days in our memories we will remember that it required from us a lot of patience and positive thinking. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2021/nov/08/the-big-idea-should-we-leave-the-classroom-behind

Are polish people polite and kind?

In my opinion polish people are polite and kind. I think that everybody heard about ,,polish hospitality". From the very beginning of our country we can see a lot of exaples of kidness. Why didn't we heard about for example german hospitality? Because it's Poland and polish people known of heartendness from hundreds of years. Good example of these features is Otto III's visit to Poland in 1000. Our king - Bolesław Chrobry- hosted him and gave a lot of gifts. Additonally in now a days, a lot of nationalities say that polish people are very polite and Poland is a country where is a good food, beautiful women and great people.
