Scenario 1
Person 1: OH MY GOD! Can you believe India only outlawed acid throwing on women's faces in 2013?

Get the North American Scott mug.The last good Green Day album, then afterwards they stooped to pop punk. If you want to listen to Green Day a proper punk band, then listen to Kerplunk, Dookie, Insomniac and Nimrod.

Get the As American as apple pie mug.(noun) A term in modern political discourse describing individuals with psychopathic traits who are drawn to positions of power, including political office, driven by a desire for control and prestige. These individuals exhibit malignant characteristics such as superficial charm, manipulativeness, lack of empathy, grandiosity, and deceitfulness. Their traits influence decision-making and public interactions, suggesting a tendency to pursue power for personal gain rather than the public good.
American Psychopathy calls out today’s politics for what it is—a high-stakes hustle where charisma beats credentials, lies sell better than truth, and public service is a grab for clout and cash.
