I was well aware of domestic abuse and sexual assault issues before the SNES launched too.

The return of the bust of Churchill (loaned after 9/11) flustered the British government because they didn't ask for it to be returned. Our best ally was nonplussed and even quickly told Obama he could keep it in the Oval Office where Bush had displayed the piece of art. Obama told them no thanks which made the Brits even more amazed.
Maybe just maybe it's Obama's office now and he wants to decorate it with his own stuff and not stuff loaned to Bush.
Of course Obama doesn't want a bust of Churchill staring at him while he's busy trying to impersonate Neville Chamberlain.
I do not understand this squeamishness about the use of gas. We have definitely adopted the position at the Peace Conference of arguing in favour of the retention of gas as a permanent method of warfare. It is sheer affectation to lacerate a man with the poisonous fragment of a bursting shell and to boggle at making his eyes water by means of lachrymatory gas.I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes. The moral effect should be so good that the loss of life should be reduced to a minimum. It is not necessary to use only the most deadly gasses: gasses can be used which cause great inconvenience and would spread a lively terror and yet would leave no serious permanent effects on most of those affected.
