The United States revokes the visa of Nobel Prize winner Wole Soyinka.
Nobel Prize winner Wole Soyinka announced that the United States revoked his non-immigrant visa, issued last year, and asked him to reapply if he wishes to visit the country.
JB COMMENTS: So tRump was turned down for the Nobel Peace Prize and now - like some petulant child - attacks the winner in this fashion and it just appalls, disgusts and outrages anyone that - well - ANYONE - coud be this vindictive, petty and vile. It is worse than childish and ESPECIALLY SO from someone who we are suppose to respect and look up to, whereas we all - globally, look down on this man as nothing better than SCUM, and sadly, those stupid enough to follow and vote for him are just as responsible.
Whenever she asked why, the boy would give the same innocent reply: "I just stopped to say hello to the husky."
Since their neighbors did indeed own a husky, the mother didn’t think much of it.But when she mentioned it to the neighbors, they told her that their husky had been away the entire week. Hearing this, the mother’s heart sank.
Feeling both curious and concerned, she quietly followed her son the next day. Walking through a quiet alley, she saw her son kneeling beside a severely injured wolf, gently sharing his snacks with it. The wolf had a broken leg and could barely move—it was the boy’s kindness that had kept it alive until then.
The mother immediately contacted the relevant authorities, and the wolf was rescued and received medical treatment. Later, surveillance footage confirmed that the boy had been feeding the wolf every day after school.
The story soon spread online, with thousands of netizens commenting: "Children see the world differently than we do. They don’t label things as 'dangerous'—they simply see a life in need of love."

Dear John - I went on a march against migrants filling our country and taking advantage and got into a heated debate with somene who supported even more migrants coming into the country and it was only when I stated ' ARE YOU WILLING TO OPEN YOUR HOME UP AND LET A MIGRANT LIVE IN YOUR HOME WITH YOU - WITH YOUR 12 AND 13 YEAR OLD DAUGHTERS AND YOUR WIFE ALONE AT HOME ALL DAY ?' and they screamed absolutely not, except they do expect locals to have to put up with hundreds of unemployed, non English speaking, people who have NOT earned our trust - have NOT earned our respect and who have NOT brought any skills to the Uk except to sponge off the system, who try and change our lifestyle to be something it is not but that suits them, and then scream at us for eating pork, having dogs, drinking alcohol, dressing a certain way and anything that may offend Allah, as if Allah gave a shit anyway. It is a minority of Muslims who want change and these are the ones that are a danger, not the integrating person who is grateful to be here and live by our lifestyle but the minority who shout the loudest and who clearly do not want to be here.
This guy was adamant against having someone in his home and could not get my argument about where these people are to live and all he kept saying was that it's up to the government and while his argument fell flat as the cost of hundreds of millions every week could go to schools, the OAP's, housing OUR OWN homeless and looking after the elderly, and he absolutely refused to listen and preferred to remain pig thick ignorant.
That, John, was a white English man in absolute denial of any kind of common sense. Malcolm.

A group of tourists were visiting a crocodile farm and they were in a floating structure in the middle of a crocodile lake. The owner of the farm shouted: "Whoever jumps into the water and swims to shore, will receive 10 million dollars."
The silence was deafening.
Suddenly, a man jumped into the water. He was chased by crocodiles, but with great luck he was unharmed. The owner announced: "We have a winner!!!". After receiving his reward, the man and his wife returned to the hotel room. The man tells his wife: "I did not jump in myself... Someone pushed me !!!" His wife smiled and said coldly: "It was me!" Moral of the story: "Behind every successful man, there is always a woman to give him a little push" ...
JB ADDS: I would wholeheartedly agree with that. Men may be the motivator and energy force behind most of the planets great achievements, ( or so it is claimed ) but nothing could have been done without some women cooking, cleaning, shopping, washing and generally looking afer these self important artists who cannot work and achieve fuck all without someone - a Wife, Mother, Sister, Whore - looking after them. Men were men and women knew their place - in the home on their backs or by the kitchen sink. Women have come a long way and about time to as these child like men are just that - immature babies pretending to be all grown up.
Siegfried and Roy. Two of the biggest acts ever to appear in Vegas. They did magic with live animals like tigers, lions and others. That is until once night in 2003 Roy, I think he’s the one on the left, was mauled by one of the tigers.
Supposedly the tiger got spooked and attacked him leaving him terribly injured. He claimed later that the tiger tried to save him as it pulled him off stage.
They would raise these cats from the time they were young. Living with them and even sleeping with them in the same bed until the cats were year old. But even then they were wild animals and an animal like that can turn on you in an instant.
You can never truly tame a wild animal even if you raise it from birth. Their instincts are still very very real and dangerous.
My condolences to your parents for wasting their time and money for the two weeks of schooling you received. Hopefully, there was a money back guarantee for the $20 or $30 dollars that they wasted. Perhaps, you can see if it's not too late for you to get some remedial teaching starting with the 3 r’s.
Maybe a few years on geography but definitely several years concentrating on history.
But most of all thank you for giving Quora users such a huge laugh.
BTW Pell, approximately 1% of Australians claim at least one American parent.
You don't even make into the top 20 and we have more people from each of these countries: Chinese, Indian, Filipino and Vietnamese people.
And a long list of European countries including the Dutch, Germans, Greeks, Italians etc. At one stage and maybe still, Melbourne was the biggest Greek city outside of Athens.
Like I said, thank you for the laugh.

The wolf never eats corpses — neither animal nor human. It spends its entire life with a single partner, and does not mate with its mother or sister. It is a monogamous animal, it betrays no one. If its partner dies, the wolf remains alone. It knows its young very well: it is the only animal that helps its parents even when they are very old, bringing them food.
When a wolf is killed, it looks you in the eyes until its soul leaves its body. It is said to be 25% more intelligent than a dog, and it is the only animal that does not submit to training. Wolves think, dream, develop plans, communicate intelligently among themselves, and resemble us more than any other living being.

In so many words? Yes.
They want to make it that being obese is normal and a personal choice so deal with it.
The problem is they don’t live in the same reality as the rest of us. Let me give you an example:
This is Jaelynn Chaney better known as “Jaebae” on social media. She’s a “plus size influencer” that travels on other people’s dime. She rose to fame in part due to an event that took place at SeaTac airport where she demanded that the flight attendant, or somebody, wheel her 600 pound ass up to the plane or off the plane. I’m not sure which. Problem is nobody was strong enough to do so so she protested.
And I think she was the only one that showed up for it.
Her views are that she, as a plus sized traveler, should get as many seats as she needs, not pay extra for them and for everybody else on the flight to then pay for her extra seats and for her to be wheeled to and from the plane regardless.
This is of course unreasonable but this is the world we live in when people like this feel they have the right to dictate policy to the rest of us.
I’m 6′2″ and I can fit in a plane seat but my legs are up against the back of the seat in front of me. Should I then get the exit row for free because of my legs? According to JaeBae I should because it’s nothing I can change and the world has to work according to my wishes.
Do you see how this kind of thinking doesn’t work? Airlines don’t work according to her wishes or mine. They cram as many seats as they can into their planes to make as much money as possible. This is the price you pay for such cheap airfare. If you take up more than one seat you should pay for that extra seat. If I want the extra legroom I have to pay for it. It’s that simple.
Obesity can be a choice. But society is under no obligation to recognize it or bend to their whims.
You’re obese for reasons other than stuffing your face and being a lump? Goody for you. Nobody cares. There’s no point in saying you’re different than JaeBae because let’s face it, people are going to look at you the same anyway.
JB ADDS: Trying to make fat - fashionable and acceptable, is unnacceptable. If you are fat, then you are fat, no excuses and no denying than in most cases, shoving dozens of cheese burgers and donuts down your throat for breakfast is going to lead to fat and an early death. THAT IS YOUR CHOICE, and it is MY choice NOT to pay for you to have an extra wide seat as it is my choice not to be a rascist or a bigot. Fat people do not revolt me as it does many - but the attitude of too many fat people that they have rights above and beyond slim people and make their demands for wider doorways, stairs, elavators and on planes, is clearly dumb dumb dumb and actually, quite abusive. and that ' I demand my rights as a fat person' attitude can take a running jump and shove it into one of the many folds of flab they ccarry and we don't have to experience it again. Here we have an obese woman who had to be carried by Air Peace ground crew assisting her up the mobile staircase to board the plane, as she appears unable to climb due to mobility issues related to her size. I would refuse to help - as this goes way beyond anyone's job description and if you are too fat to walk, or climb stairs, then you shouldn't expect others to break their backs helping.

While on a road trip, an elderly couple stopped at a roadside restaurant for lunch. After finishing their meal, they left the restaurant, and resumed their trip. When leaving, the elderly woman unknowingly left her glasses on the table, and...
When leaving, the elderly woman unknowingly left her glasses on the table, and she didn't miss them until they had been driving for about forty minutes.
By then, to add to the aggravation, they had to travel quite a distance before they could find a place to turnaround, in order to return to the restaurant to retrieve her glasses. All the way back, the elderly husband became the classic grumpy old man. He fussed and complained, and scolded his wife relentlessly during the entire return drive. The more he chided her, the more agitated he became. He just wouldn't let up for a single minute. To her relief, they finally arrived at the restaurant. As the woman got out of the car, and hurried inside to retrieve her glasses, the old geezer yelled to her, ' While you're in there, you might as well get my hat and the credit card.'

One quiet afternoon at Avalon Beach in Australia, Nicole Graham faced something every horse owner dreads.
Her much-loved horse, Astro, who is 18 years old, got stuck in deep, heavy mud — like quicksand. His large body, weighing nearly 500 kg, was sinking fast, all the way to his neck. And the tide was coming in.
Nicole could have walked away. She could have saved herself.
But she didn’t. She stayed there with him. Kneeling in the cold mud, deep up to her waist, she held his head up for three hours so he wouldn’t drown.
She talked softly to him. She cried with him. She didn’t let him give up. As the sea got closer, rescue teams worked as fast as they could. A vet named Stacey Sullivan gave Astro something to calm him down. Then, with a tractor, they slowly pulled him out.
He was tired. Shaking. But he was alive. Nicole never left his side. Because real love doesn’t walk away when things get hard.

Unlike Sam, who gave up on his lover of 15 years as soon as he found out his lover was HIV and it was OUT THE FUCKING DOOR SO FAST and love and togetherness and support and 15 loyal years together, stood for nothing and while ill with Aids related problems, was thrown out on his ear with nowhere to go and no thought of helping. Sam, the man, wasn't a man at all and coudn't face having a lover with HIV. Later - when it trned out Sam also had HIV and was a lot more ill, had no one as he had run away from everyone he ever knew who were ill - and out of fear, had become the very thing he feared the most - ill health. Karma is a bitch.
