Do you agree or disagree with Tajikistan President Emomalii Rahmon’s recent decisions to

(a) ban the ending “ic” to people’s names, which indeed forced Rahmon to change his name from Rahmonic.  This is an attempt to assert themselves from the shadow of Mother Russia.
(b) Ending elaborate end-of-school year parties

(c) limiting the number of people who can attend a wedding to 150 people

(d) limiting the number of people who can attend a funeral to 100 people.

(e) limiting the number of people who can attend a circumcision to 60 people.

There is a slippery slope argument to made here.  First you limit the number of people attending a circumcision , and the next thing you know you are cloning a sub-strata of humans for the purpose of harvesting organs.  Think about it.
