16-Year-Old Malala Yousafzai Leaves Jon Stewart Speechless With Comment About Pacifism

Stewart asked her how she reacted when she learned that the Taliban wanted her dead. Her answer was absolutely remarkable.

 

Community Village‘s insight:

 

When Malala says that education gives women power and the audience cheers, I’m thinking

 

  1. She’s 100% correct
  2. The U.S. high school drop out rate is high
  3. U.S. college is not getting more affordable

 

Many in the U.S. are disempowered due to the difficulty of obtaining a college education.

Ex-Marine beats wife at divorce hearing! Wheres Security?

Ex-Marine beats wife at divorce hearing! Wheres Security?

 

Community Village‘s insight:

 

Where is the outrage and dialog around male aggression?

 

  • How was he considered mentally stable enough to be a Marnie?
  • Was he discharged from the Marines for violent or sociopathic behavior?
  • Did his Marine’s training ’cause him to choose violence to ‘solve’ his issues?
  • Was he on drugs?
  • Does he have a mental diagnosis as maybe a sociopath?
