I hate this kind of false equivalence. It prevents anyone from discussing the actual problems, because, well, "You do it too! You're just as bad!" No. The West is not just as bad as North Korea. The West has more freedom of s

Some people have body dysmorphia issues, and some people just really identify with looking a specific way. I understand that. However, some people really identify with living in a specific location, too, but we don't usually regard mov
