Search Results: how long is too long

According to the World Health Organization, Turkey has around 10 million stray dogs and is considered a rabies-risk country. Europeans dealt with their own stray dog problem long ago, and even today they require pet dogs to be microchipped to prevent a stray population from emerging again. But when it comes to Turkey, they pressure us in the name of animal rights.

On the other hand, we also have a group of people here who constantly complain, saying, "You don't want to be a stray animal—or even a woman—in Turkey. Life is too hard."

So here's my proposal: we open our border gates in Thrace and let our stray dogs cross into Europe. They'll supposedly have a wonderful life there. And if our European overlords happen to be bothered by them, they're free to cull them after all—they won't have to answer to anyone. After all, the Dutch culled 300,000 chickens last year, and hardly anyone said a word about it.

As someone who been into the arts for a very long time, watching art sites that are still active, and looking at art trend, from 90s to today, I notice a slow shift toward diverse representation of what is beautiful, and appealing. Previously, there were idea that really thin ladies are attractive, but now that's not as popular as women who are of normal weight. For most of 90s and 2000s, what is dominant is the representation of white women to symbolize beauty, but that's changing toward more inclusive and diverse representation as in non-white people are beautiful, and even men's bodies are more out there too. So, I can see 2030s and beyond becoming the era of diversity in arts after a massive cultural shift happens.

Personally, I find every demographics beautiful, in and out visually, and I'm an asexual heteroromantic man. But, I do wonder how far are we when it comes to appreciation of beauty in both men and women, and in ethnicity. I don't think appreciation of beauty in bodies (clothed or not) has to do with either romanticism or sexuality, and that's not the case with me.
