What’s the weirdest thing society accepts as normal?

[ForFunAquaTurtle]

Cheese on a stick

Killing and eating some animals, while spending huge amounts of money at the vet's to keep others healthy.

Can take five years for kids to sleep through the night.

With all my the it was three years, so nine years in total.

Mutilating the genitals of small boys in the name of religion and culture.

God why do threads like these always take a dark turn?

Nobody has normalised that.

See what I mean?

I think that a government which does not allow abortion should give the mother free health care for life as well as the child.

I am thinking of the states in America that do not allow termination.

No one's stopping you

This. In the Barbie movie when her feet go normal instead of stuck in tip toes position, she can barely walk in her shoes and she says “I would never wear heels if my feet were this way”. Indeed!

That the jobs that benefit society the most are amongst the lowest paid, and kicking a bit of leather around a patch of grass for 90 minutes while stopping your opponents from doing the same thing is somehow worth millions.

The expectancy that everyone is contactable 24/7.

Here, take this work phone so I can phone you at home, on your own time, or when you're on holiday.

Stuff that.

the weirdest thing that is taken as normal? the election of an idiot to POTUS

That we drink the breast milk of another species! Totally normalised...

Abusing and killing farm animals but getting upset about cruelty other animals - (especially as pigs are so intelligent and sweet).

The royal family and all the ridiculous fawning over them. Such a weird concept.

Riding horses ( and putting a big lump of metal in their mouths to control them)

Nationalism - preferring somebody because they are born on the same bit of rock as you.

There are loads...

Oh yes. The strangest of all. And we think it's "natural"!

Un necessary rudeness. I work as a hospital receptionist and understand patient and family’s anxiety but today I was annoyed.
I’m very good at my patient facing role but today a whole family turned up and completely ignored everything I said and did and blanked me. When they left they left our wheelchair in the middle of the front door blocking access.
This was an oncology appointment not A&E. At first I thought it was communication/language problems but I heard them speaking good English. I deal with oncology patients every day but this wasn’t the norm, cultural differences should not make a difference.
I try my best every day on close to minimum wage but I felt dis respected

Yes they have. Many religions circumcise boys and I believe it's absolutely the norm in America. Bloody barbaric! Yet "normal"..

Why?

Erm…back in my youth, you weren’t but women demanded equal rights to work. Once upon a time, married women were not allowed to work. War changed that but still, mothers were expected to be home. Can’t complain now when women wanted to go to work

Keeping the ones healthy that will be killed to eat also incurs large vet bills at times…even larger than pets.

Belief in a God thing. Ridiculous and so clearly exploited to subjugate women

Surely the uk was built on slavery and being slaves (to the nations that conquered them) over centuries.

And 'landowners' people that stole land when others were off fighting wars or something... it's all shite

I am a horse owner and rider, I have the kindest and sweetest horse.
i work hard to pay for boarding/livery, new shoes every 6 weeks, vet bills, unlimited food, insurance and plenty of love and kindness.
All I ask in return is a few hours of work per week which although I’m not Dr Dolittle he does it willingly. When I put the bit in his mouth he puts his head down so it’s easier. The bond I have with him I can’t into words. I’ve had him 7 years and he’s with me for his life. He weighs approximately 600kg, I don’t control him we’re a partnership, I’ve been through 2 hip replacements and he got me through them mentally and physically

Yes this!! Why is Christianity part of the curriculum ?
