I always give a thank you to other drivers - I even acknowledge with a friendly wave when they cut me off or do something stupid - makes them do a double take trying to figure it out.

Maybe someone could start a course to teach people to just talk like a chat bot. New job opportunities?

Just what is this obsession people have with buying these huge, heavy vehicles? vehicles designed for Off-Road use are being bought but never do morwe than take the children to and from school, do the weekly shopping. General Motors released a Monster Vehicle called RAM, a vehicle which dwarfs all others, designed for heavy Duty Work but like the smaller, but still massively heavy and big, are never used for Work but also to take the chhildren to and from school and go to the Supermarket. Not only do they tear up the roads but they eat fuel and, in Australia where they are being dumped because other countries are banning their sale they pump out more emissions than any others. I was in a Supermarket car park the other day and one of these monster vehicles took up Two parking spaces. Do people buy these tanks because they have such low self-esteem they make them feel bigger and better than everyone else? Governments should ban their sale becuaes, for the most part, they are totally unnecessary.

Many people come on here talking crap. I do not believe what some people say. They think they are perfect. Just everyone is different and what is not good for many, it maybe good for others.

I live on a farm and my grandchildren are learning to grow their own food, taking care of animals, working together, and reaping the rewards of hard work. I wouldn\u2019t change it for anything.

I have suffered from anxiety for over forty years. I have tried everything that I come across. I take medication but it doesn't seem to help much. I have tried many hypnotherapist, talked to many counsellors, psychologist, psychiatrists. I have tried numerous herbs, CBD oils and medications, relaxation techniques, crystal therapy, and the list goes on. I still have anxiety. I don't believe there is a cure. There are techniques to help after anxiety hits but no idea (sadly) how to overcome it.

Heck we do not have to tell Porkies, our truths are enough. We have the most deadliest spider/s, deadliest snakes 9 of the top 10, Kangaroos that attack, Dingoes that attack, Sharks, Sea Snakes, Stingers, Blue Bottles, Stonefish, Box Jelly Fish, Salt Water Crocodiles, Cone Shell, Blue Ringed Octopus, Paralysis Tick, and the list goes on and any one of these are deadly. The European Honey Bee is also a baddy. Never had to make anything up. However, one American asked if we could see Uluru from the Sydney Harbour Bridge and of course I said yes but I did educate him after I took the mickey. However on the plus side we have a beautiful country with unique animals, flowers, trees, etc. A huge rock in the middle of the country and the largest coral reef, we have wave rocks, canyons, deserts, water falls, mountains, stunning beaches and wide open spaces. Our country is diverse with so much beauty to see. Actually, Kangaroos have been known to cross the Harbour Bridge so not such a porky.

One, your memory doesn't serve you correctly, the first president to take the USA off the gold standard was FDR in 1933. Two, you are deliberately confusing personal debt with the debt of a country (a stigma comes with personal debt - not the debt of a country). Three, every 'country' on this planet has debt (including Saudia Arabia, Kuwait and China - supposedly the three richest countries on the planet). Four, not any countries have enough gold (in reserve in their country) to cover its debt (including China, Saudia Arabia, or Kuwait). Five, if the world economy went back to the gold standard, the world economy would immediately go into chaos (and a full-scale depression). Six, you 'never' hear international banking firms, international accounting firms, international law firms, or international think tanks (firms), etc. advocating for a return (back to) the gold standard. Seven, your plan will only work if you are advocating for ANARCHISM. Eight, cryptocurrency is a digital currency designed to work as a medium of exchange on a computer network that is not reliant on any central authority, such as a bank or government - to uphold or maintain it - aka a 'SCAM' on the streets of USA (in rough neighborhoods). Last, cryptocurrency 'only' works if you are 'gullible and greedy' - it is not a long-term viable solution to replace a monetary system that doesn't work (anymore 'except' for the benefit of the rich or the super-rich) - aka CAPITLISM.

Too much - too quickly! How is the average person supposed to know "who" has given the information to AI? One big scam!

This is a pet subject of mine, I’ve been in the plumbing business for over 50 years and in that time I have seen strange articles stuck in drains Often children put toys in the loo and in England there was a man at the water treatment station employed to look for still births. One really common article was a sanitizer that hung on the rim of the loo. It was just small enough to disappear from sight but never went any further. The clear water could pass but solids would accumulate . I must have cleared hundred out over the years until they made them bigger

If you are having difficulties moving on (from betrayal) - try conversing with a mental health specialist/professional.

Depends on how mature they are. Do they know Never to speak with anyone they don't know or who have not visited their Mum and da at home? I thinke Lorne M, below, has got it right. Safety in numbers. They Must also klnow that there is to be no wandering off simply because they feel like it and that they Must come straight home and then, with your permission go off with other kids so that Mum/Dad knows where they are going.

My parent used to argue by appointment, Dad was one of those "yes dear" husbands who never wanted to rock the boat, but they were able to show affection even after 50 odd years marriage. They never seemed to argue, so occasionally they would get into a barney about the wrong colour loaf of bread, or something equally ridiculous, and afterwards life would return to normal

I\u2019d tell to my young myself: Don\u2019t be so serious! Laugh more!!! Go and have fun! \ud83d\ude42

6 weeks is much too short a period of time to decide to marry unless the man is 99 with a foot in the grave and a few million in the bank, then it should be "where do I sign up"!

Prison, hanging, electrocution, firing range\u2026\u2026I am getting so tired of people trying to screw over innocent people. And wasting my time answering their stupid calls.

Clean out the drug dens,put road horns off the streets. Make councils do what they are paid to do and not bend to minority groups

2 and 13, See when your sweet baby turns about 13 aliens come and take that baby away and leave its evil clone and you don't get your baby back until it has babies of its own. Overnight you are the enemy and your child's evil clone is on a seek and destroy the enemy mission.

Did not understand your question, but 'I think' you are asking the following: Truth is a generally accepted outcome or reasoning while Fact is a proven Truth. Fact is true but not all Truths are Facts (aka Half-Truths). Other words, Facts are more objective in their nature whereas Truths are more subjective in their nature (which can/will lead to Half-Truths).

My hubby does the washing. He used to bleach all the whites. Now he just washes them in napisan and they come up white so we do not need several products

I live in NSW Australia and our native foods are Barramundi, kangaroo steak, crocodile sausages or witchetty grubs. However, we also claim Pavlova, Lamingtons and Anzac biscuits. I'll eat the Barra, Pav, lamo's and the bickies but I won't even try the others.

Little house on the Praire, I dream of Jeanie, Wonder Woman, The Flintstones, The littlest Hobo, Gilligans's Island, Scooby-doo, Happy Days, The Beverley Hillbilly's, The love boat... oh and my all time fav... Prisoner - Australian classic! I used to run home from school everyday to watch it!!!

I miss my little convertible Peugeot.206 such a cute car and easy to zip in and out of parking spaces.

I just don\u2019t understand the appeal of expensive jewellery. As long as you like the way it looks and feels, then why would you care how much it\u2019s worth?

As far as I am concerned - we all have a CHOICE. We can choose to limit the time we spend on social media or we can stay on it most of the day. If it is used for the RIGHT REASON it is fantastic - or you can ALLOW IT TO CONTROL YOUR LIFE and hence your health. YOUR CHOICE. Do not blame social media for the impact on someone's health. It is NOT social media - it is the PERSON USING IT.

I don't think we have chivalrous gentlemen anymore, or they have been put off by these women who don't have the slight bit of feminine wiles. I was married to a pig who was incapable of even uttering a kind word or compliment. I did have a young man who gave me his seat at a funeral and another older gent who opened a door for me. I was very grateful and thanked them. and yes it is too over commercialized. You don't need to spend a bomb or be ostentatious to tell someone you love them.

In my last job a woman who thought she was my supervisor (she was in fact a co-worker) said “do you think I give a &@^% about anything you have to say”. Not willing to put up with that behaviour I walked into my boss’s office and handed in my immediate resignation. He asked why, I told him and he asked me to wait for 10 minutes whilst he sorted out the matter. He called a department meeting and made her apologise to me in front of everyone. I stayed at the company for many years and was very grateful when she was transferred to another location.

ALL IN THE US do not say nothing make sure trump maggots know how he lies and lies and lies 30,000+ when in office d o not put your head in the sand and just think the republicans maggots will go away

Will is done, funeral paid for, and memorial stone installed. I didn't want to leave preparations to chance and burden someone else who might question if they are fulfilling my wishes.

Why is everyone giving this incredibly intelligent and well informed girl so much grief? How much do you know about her? The Matrix summed it up: We are a virus! It is time we love our earth mother. She is not led by others and is not selfish, unlike the shortsighted many. I am disheartened by the ignorant, uninformed and selfish views of many below. I hope Gaia haunts you all in your dreams!!!!!!!!

Awe how lovely of you Robert. I wish you and all of Rewardia staff and rewardians a very Merry Christmas with family & friends and an amazing New Year 2023

Let’s just keep Australia for Australians! You can’t get more local than that. Aussie, Aussie, Aussie! Oi, Oi, Oi!,

Why are you still with him. The old saying "a leopard never changes it's spots" is true. Some partners might temper their actions but it usually comes back out again. Firstly he is younger than you and this is not really the ideal situation. You are being a doormat. He disrespects you big time. You are there just to do his bidding whether it be cooking, cleaning, physical or financial. Get some respect and leave or if it is your place ask him to leave immediately.

I can forgive without forgetting once trust us broken it’s extremely hard to win back. I am also a big believer in karma, what you give out will come back to you.

Not me any way I cry every day and wish I was dead I just wish I could be normal but people are always meany to me I have no real friends I love cats I wish people would be nicer to other I think it would be normal to not be called a bitch all the time and to have an idear of where your life is heading I do not have much of them I must keep going I have a beutafill son have to try and help him and any one I can I think it is a good life some times have to keep trying for better f everyone you have to believe in your self and in god

If you have a partner why don't one of you stay home and look after your own children? I, and I think many others as well, get sick to death of hearing parents complaining about the cost of Childcare, that it should be Free - which simply means that other Taxpayers - some of whom have chosen not to breed - are expected - or rather it is considered their Duty - to pay for the rearing of other people's children. If you want children then make up your minds to bring them up yourselves and put up with the inconveniences BUT do Not expect others to do it for you. If you are not prepared to rear your own children then don't have any - there are far too many people in the world already so that could be part of your contribution to addressing Climate Change!

I've been told that our cat might need upto 1500 dollars of dental work, which is rediculous, we can barely afford our own dental work, so I think when the time comes and he shows signs of pain, we will probably do the humain thing and have him put down.

There is a place for technology. Personally it has spread my "social life", Can chat with people I have met from other countries. Some people deserve to lose their job to machines, at least machine might be polite and actually try and help.Maybe a machine will not indoctrinate child to their own views as many teachers do.There are pros and cons. Guess maybe if/when a machine could show artificial emotion [as many people do] they may work in better

The problem is that nurses are sent to university then into hospitals. In the old days you started emptying bed pans before you decided whether or not it was the profession for you. Now they are sent to university then have to empty bedpans. Wouldn't it be a bit of a shock after years of schooling? Why would anyone spend years studying then perform back breaking work, changing dressings, wiping bums and the like when they could be earning much more in the corporate world. Starting at the bottom then studying your way to the top is always the best way to fill the ranks.

I get the same sort of sensation when I walk into the women's change room at the local swimming pool. They all scream and turn in the same direction.

Memes don't interest or influence me in any way. As for social media I have FB only with messenger only to keep in touch with family & friends in another state or overseas. I am private with friends & family so don't have all the distractions that some have. If that's what you like then that's fine but I'm not interested.

shouldn't the question be what didn't you want to learn at school. I hated Maths B and could never understand why A + B =C. I liked geography and maybe that is why i like to see places

As someone with ADHD and OCD this is a far too common occurance to even try and tally how many times i do it.

When I was 15years & 10months old, I met the man who was to become my husband. I actually asked him if we could get engaged as he was due to go in the Army & do his 2 years national service. I waited till he came out of the army so when I was 18 years & 1 month, we had a white wedding which was a dream of mine. This coming September we will have been married for 62 years. We have had our "ups & downs" as they say but we have always been able to sort them out. If I had my way again, it would be exactly the same except for a bit more travelling than what we have done. I have been disabled for the past few years & he has become my carer. He now does the cooking whilst I sit at the table & do the food preparation. We work as a team & always have done. Plus I still love this man, my husband after all these years.

The only thing I would worry about is having my DNA out on some database and not having any control over it.

I'm on the aged pension, but doing surveys to get that little extra, have small savings, so doing okay at the moment. Would have trouble if I had a big expense .

Well I did exaggerate when I wrote that I owned a crocodile....it actually is only a gecko. However the bit about riding a tiger, that was the truth.

Mark of The Lion, biography of Capt C H Upham VC & Bar (WW2) only the third soldier and only combat soldier to be awarded the VC twice (Crete & North Africa).A dangerous job he would go himself. He lead from the front. Read his citations

Can't handle cosmetic enhancement on any gender you are what you a little make-up e5c for a special.occassion but surgical.enhancenent cosmetic infills don't make any 8nsecurities more secure in my opinion

I retired at 65 and I’m busier now than I was when I was working. I’m now 77 and could still do a days work Every one is different

Lived with no TV as child out west n no TV available all hours when rearing kids regionally but once we did defiant none before school at meals or till homework done. I still can't handle a TV on n nobody listening or watching it...I am not a big movie watcher either ...so if mine broke would replace for hubby only

No money hand outs sway me I go from past experience n if they can actually look at the camera when talking cause if they can't dont trust them but I do wish they would ditch in person voting go online like the census

In this day and age, with the world's population as it is, people need to think hard before they bring another child into the world. I am a mother and grandmother who adores children, and I agree that they add so much to our lives, but many children are born to people who cannot offer a stable home with loving parents who are prepared to make the sacrifices needed to be a good parent. Rather have people voluntarily deciding they do not want to be fathers, than carelessly doing so, then regretting that decision. I do agree that a person in his very early 20s may occasionally regret their choice, but doctors do not do a vasectomy without questioning why the man wants one and ensuring he is aware of long term results of that decision.. Sometimes a vasectomy can be reversed, as suggested, but as long as any future partner is made aware of the choice that has been made, I feel a man is entitled to his beliefs and decisions about his own body just as a woman is.

I do love my job. A lot. But am still at risk of burnout if I don't look after my self care needs. Learning the signs, and having a wellbeing plan really helps.

We've gone from paper everything to plastic to save the trees, now they are trying to reverse it back. We had an incinerator in our back yard, which alot of home rubbish was put into it & burned. They decided it was against the law & incinerators were removed. Maybe bring back the incinerator & maybe, we wouldn't have so much landfill like back in the 70's/80's. Like fashion, goes out of style but eventually comes back. Our Government needs to stop fixing things that aren't broke & working well with the planet & fix things that aren't working.

best solution. go learn some marshal arts, and put them to use, mind and body control, show what you know and they will think a bit differently

THEY SHOULD BE RESPECTED FOR THE WORK THEY DO BUT, THEY SHOULD REMEMBER THEY ARE PEACE KEEPERS NOT EXECUTIONERS AND TRY A LITTLE RESTRAINT AND IMPROVE THEIR TRAINING

You find feminine products distasteful, Shirley? 50% of the population need, will need or used to need them! Mum bought me old-fashioned Modess when I was a kid - then I found out about more modern options & was incredibly thankful for them. My Nan never got the period talk, so she thought she was dying when it happened - a stranger had to comfort & explain it to her. That's outrageously unfair to a kid! Nobody wants to talk to their kids about condoms, either, but it's better than having your kid contract HIV, hepatitis, &c. Ads can prompt questions or provide a lead-in to further discussion.

I believe that some can be both overweight and healthy. As a teenager, i was the "fat kid" and always picked on, but it was also during these years that i was at my healthiest. I went for 15km walks at least twice a week, i was quite strong, being able to pull/push carts loaded with up to 250kgs (bags of soil/fertiliser, etc), i was quite active as well, enjoyed playing soccer and squash as often as i could, i went bushwalking and worked on the farms of family friends (fencing, marking lambs, helping in the shearing shed, digging up paddock weeds by hand/mattock, etc) I don't think it is fair to tar all larger framed people with the same brush. Some overweight people can be quite fit and healthy, others not so much, while others are all overweight due to medication they need to take.

I worked in aged care for 45 years some of the staff are good but others are only there to get paid they have no empathy for the elderly I always said it would be over my dead body that my mother went into aged care but if there is no one to care for them in there home it makes it hard I moved home to be here for my mother and I am her full time carer she is now 97 and still heathy and on no medication

The advice here starts with a question:- Have you met each other in person yet or not? IF NOT, You do not know how well you would get on together once you do meet. IF you have only met online and communicated online, emails and by phone, it could be risky because people online often lie and mislead the other person into believing they will meet one day and have feelings for you, when in fact they have no feelings for you and have no intention of meeting in person. Too many scammers online. IF you have NOT yet met in person, use a "Scammer Test" which I have divised as follows:- 1) Write a list of questions to ask the person. Once you ask him/her write down their answers; then wait a few weeks and ask him/her the same questions again...If their answers are NOT the same as the first time then you know they are lying and it's a scam. 2) Ask them to send you a photo of themselves, wait a few weeks then tell them you would like more photos of them; then compare the photos. 3) Take step 2 further and ask him/ her for a video chat; so you can confirm what they look like and if they refuse or give excuses continuously not to do that, then its a scam. HAVING PASSED ALL OF THE ABOVE TESTS. How much does this person mean to you? Is the person worth waiting for? IF yes, keep the relationship fresh by being romantic online, if you both have cameras arrange a time where you can have dinner together online...Meaning each of you at your own home, on camera, eating together. Use emails / phone calls to tell each other about your day as if you were in a relationship face to face. Finds things to do online together which you both enjoy doing. Try something old-fashioned like writing long letters to each other and mailing them to each other by 'Snail Mail"...Everyone enjoys getting mail and the excitement builds up while waiting to receive and read the letter. IF you have never met in person; NEVER send the other person money or valuable items in case it is a scam. You said you've been communicating with your friend for over 3 years, but yet, the covid-19 pandemic has only existed for just over 2 years; therefore ask yourself and your friend why you never met in person BEFORE the pandemic hit the world. GOOD LUCK!

We do need politics & politics is supposed to be about what's best for the majority, elections & politicians are about a popularity contest & not a popular vote - which is why I don't trust them. We vote for the person the party thinks will win not necessarily the best leader. 'Political donations' (basically legal bribery) need to be outlawed. Calling out & jeering in parliament needs to be banned. You don't have to agree with what everyone says - that should lead to intelligent debate not being put down. Example, Ex-PM Julia Gillard seems to be strong, independent & intelligent person & not a puppet, so she was attacked for who she wasn't married to & what she was wearing - not her politics. Not everyone who reads this will agree with everything I wrote, hopefully leading to an intelligent chat & not that I spilled coffee on my t-shirt.

Am ex navy, no war service, still difficult just being away from family without the combat side of it as well, Politicians should do more for them post service, but they won't!!

Haven't ever seen them, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. God definitrly exists, and I haven't seen him either.

This is probably off the subject, but I have a theory. lol When we went into lock down the air became cleaner (fewer cars on the road) and there was less rubbish around town. The birds started chirping around 4am every day (I wasn't the only one that noticed this). So now I feed the wild birds...well not so wild if you count the crows that call for me at my front door. I like to look after the crows because they are Aboriginal talismans...bossy bums lol I also feed a variety of other wild birds seagulls,wattle birds, different parrots etc. Nothing goes to waste. People probably think I am weird putting a fresh container of water and food scraps on my front lawn every day...but they clean it all up everyday LOL

There is no way that you could use more handwashing dishes. Not unless the tap was on the whole time. It's like comparing having a wash at the handling to having a shower.

They earn the money, it's their right to spend it how they like. How would you like to be told how to spend your money ????

One of the things most don't know about me is that I'm into Poetry. I like the detail and description written in clever structure :-) Example : This poem somehow reminds me of an Indiana Jones movie I watched! With Humble Heart by Alexis Karpouzos All this universe, to the furthest stars, all beyond them, is your flesh, your soul. And one day, under the great sky in solitude and silence, with humble heart shall I stand face to face with the abyss, then, I think, i will understand why there is such a play of colors on clouds, on water, and why flowers are painted in tints, why there is music in leaves, and why the waves sending their chorus of voices to the heart of the listening earth when I sing to make you dance.

My partner and i keep our finances separate. We met later in life and have accumulated different amounts of “wealth” . We also have children from other relationships. Anyway, getting back to the topic although i have more, it certainly doesn’t mean im more worthy but it can be … annoying when he cant afford things. And before you say “why don’t you shout him” im not meaning going out to dinner. I mean investments, renovating, bid ticket items .

No way would I buy anything like that from overseas. For me - if I was in your situation - I would definitely never do it again. Much better to buy from a local store and have them responsible for returning the faulty product. I am not saying you are wrong - just my opinion. Thanks for your comment - it is a valid point.

Stop the corrupt leftists for sure. Facebook, Google etc shouldn't be allowed to fund the demorat/communist parties! Next they will fund Australian and UK Labor parties. So yes, ban funding altogether

Literature! There are so many books I want to read that I'll have to live to 1000 just to read what's on my list now! Some of my best friends are books.

I would change the pay-scale of politicians so that it became a job which only genuinely caring people get, not for the power and affluence as is the case now. It should be a position of caring for others, but at the moment it is a case that they seem to always put themselves first and foremost, (continually voting themselves increases in pay), not the people they supposedly serve. More people like the former president of Uruguay, President Mujica, who was said to be the poorest president in the world. He donated 90% of his salary to charity, chose to continue living in the farmhouse he shared with his wife, and drove an old VW beetle when he could have lived in luxury.

I had a photo taken for my passport and it was horrible and I aid I did not like it as it did not really look like me and this woman says "It's funny how we perceive ourselves as better than what we are" I thought how nasty. Left and went elsewhere and got a much more accurate and nicer photo. She was either jealous of other women or just woke up on the wrong side of the bed but it stayed with me and I am now 71. Imagine if I was a teen and someone said that to me. I was 40 at the time and going through a nasty divorce so it did imprint a bit negative on my self esteem.

Bitten by a Tiger sake in Victoria Australia when I stepped into its path. It struck 6 times. 1 dry bite and 5 penetrated. Neighbour wrapped wound on foot up to thigh and called ambulance. She actually saved my life by taking this step. 6 days in Intensive care, 3 in recovery. 3 days home then back today hospital as strike area became Septic. 4 more days in hospital. Never felt so i in my life, brought on by both the venom and two doses of anti venom, one brown snake and one tiger snake dose just to ensure they covered me in case I may have incorrectly identified snake. I hadn't but better safe than sorry. 18 months later all areas affected such as liver, kidneys and taste finally were ok. Something I will never forget. Snake slithered away. He was about 5ft long.

I would literally go nuts if I couldn't listen to music.It calms me down, it lifts my mood, it is my best friend as I walk around the house, doing the cleaning, digging the garden, the background to my life.

After losing the only little dog I had left to kidney failure due to diabetes and months of crying and so much unhappiness my friend sent me ver one of her dogs from Queensland in the hope it help me recover

Why can't people take responsibility for their actions anymore? Answer, the Government doesn't so why should anyone else? The example is set at the top. NZ currently has Saint Jacinda of Covid who cannot put a foot wrong according to her fatuous grovelling ignorant adoring fans.

I had an Online friend of 2 years. I ended up in hospital for a few days and said so on our Group discussion. I got home and received a message asking if I was still in Maroondah Hospital because my online friend was there also 1 floor up. I visited on my check-up and we became fast real-life friends until she passed from Cancer

I think we are just going to have to live with this , have a shot each year just like the flu vac. I do think the precautions we have been using have been effective, no way have we seen the numbers of other bugs. Just take care and keep up the hand washing, and masks indoor major shopping centres and medical places.

Like all things there is good and bad. Science gave us the Atom Bomb and yes maybe the covid virus (unproven yet) but it has given us many good things also. Science is not the problem it's in whose hands it is in that is the problem. Sometimes I think they want to know too much and go too far and this is dangerous.

There are 2 choices here. Read it and keep reactions to oneself OR Read it and react how you think you should. Better still how do react to someone who takes a potshot at you. If it’s too hot in the kitchen get out

They will never learn right from wrong if they just get a slap on the wrist..I don't know about other countries but Australia there are alot of juvenile crime I ask the questions where are the parents ??? Why are kids out very late at night??? Can they control their kids?? Make the parents pay for damages or the stolen car perhaps they might spend time with their children instead of just collecting government money and using it for their own uses drugs gambling and alcohol .with my kids I knew where they were and who they were with and was definitely home by certain times

Homeschooling and online learning are two totally different things. To homeschool your child, you need to get approval from the Education Department, and need to demonstrate to them the level of work that is being achieved. It is hard work, and you need to link in with other homeschooling families in order to share lesson plans and ideas, organise excursions etc. It becomes its own school community. It’s not a choice that I would normally make, but was left with no other option for my 13 yo daughter at the time. Unfortunately, as several people have said, some schools and teachers, are not that great at teaching. In fact some educational environments are so caught up in worrying about things that are not important like, wearing the right coloured socks, not mixing any summer uniform with winter uniform, making sure children have their hair in one of 28 approved hairstyles like Kim Jong-Un, that they forget they are supposed to be providing a safe, welcoming and nurturing environment. Teachers are often the bullies. They have no life experience as they have never left school, so have no understanding of what’s going on in the lives of their students, and how to engage them. Schools and teachers (mostly) are not that good for many students. What is needed is an improvement to our education system.

To me, nothing looks so ugly as seeing a nice young lass with tattoos...why do they have to spoil themselves?

I really wish these militant vegans and vegetarians would show the same respect to meat eaters as we do to them: I do not try to convert them to be meat eaters or give them lectures on why a diet including meat is best or how some plant based crops use more resources than animal farming so WHY don't these vegans/vegetarians do the same?

Not lend $100000 to a friend that promised to pay me back but never did I am still waiting over 20 years what a con

Zing, clearly the thing passed on down through your family is the use of the apostrophe when it's not necessary.. in every case above it's wrongly used and the word you're should be your in both cases. Grommie, the phantom proofreader strikes AGAIN.

How about making the company pay more tax if they don't make recycleable or biodegradeable plastic? At the end of the day it's consumerism and convenience. You can lead a horse to water.....

wait 2 hours for tax dept, telecom, any other govt department and then get someone who has English as their 2nd or 3rd language

Look at Trump! He should not have been allowed to get into the position he is in. Perhaps there should be a test of mental competence?!

2020 will not be remembered in a good way. What with Covid 19 and the terrible fires & typhoons the earth is not a happy place to live in at the moment. Better days ahead for us I hope

When I was seven I see. but is eyes and a cut off hand. very horrifying.I I only learned later, where was the Japanese battlefield before. can't see when I grow up. Once staying in a hotel, the hotel actually gave us two people, a room with three beds. When I was sleeping, I heard someone talking to me in my ear. The problem was that I couldn't understand the words. He was like speaking French. I can't see anyone.

Why would you subject Mars to such punishment? There's no mirrors, make up or labels, and worst of all no social media!!!!!!! What will they do?

Omg is that me talking\u2026\u2026\u2026I really felt like I just wrote that. I can\u2019t breathe lol it gave me anxiety I really thought I posted this. I\u2019ve been separated from my husband since June that\u2019s like 6 months. I\u2019m still in shook I\u2019ve been trying to survive this. I\u2019ve been married for 17yrs and been there done that. I was mentally exhausted dealing with his drinking problems but I stood by his side no matter what but at the same time I was losing myself. I\u2019m so used to him seventeen years never thought I\u2019d make it that far with someone. We have no children together. I do love him but I think I out grew him. I changed I stopped drinking to make things better but he was still struggling. He said I gave up on him and we were supposed to be together til death do us part. But I was losing my mind over him. What do you think?????? Now he\u2019s been living in an Rv trailer\u2026..so long story short, don\u2019t stay if you\u2019re not happy

time spent with family is always worthwhile most of the times , my kids tend to treat me like a kid now because technology has surpassed my level of understanding, I had no idea my seniors card had a free bus pass on it until I spent 2 hours walking home having forgotten my wallet and I don't have a phone, where are all the phone booths ,I don't know life is moving way to fast

Gazumping is legally if it is based on a verbal offer; however, gazumping is illegally if it is based on a written offer (without stating the listed price was a starting point for negotiations). Still a lack of business ethics (under both circumstances) - which shouldn't surprise anyone on this planet (aka Earth)! FYI: Caveat Emptor applies in all business transactions (verbal and/or written)!

I experienced it in Shanghai. As I stood looking at the lights along the riverside a crowd of Chinese people who were tourists came past and somehow sucked me into the middle of the them. They were so crowded together I wasn't able to get out and was dragged along with them. I felt pretty stupid as I was far taller than they were but clearly they are very used to being "together". I started to feel afraid as I had no idea where "we" were going so I fought harder and eventually I was able to get out at the back by slowing down. Then I had to find my husband who wondered where I had got to because one minute I was there but the next gone. I walked back as he walked forward and I was very happy to see him. I am now very wary of crowds.

You can achieve an education with money. Money offers financial stability. Money brings happiness (lack of survival issues). Money provides opportunities (on personal levels and business levels). Money offers social status, etc. (the more money you have - the better society treats you). 'We' all reside on a capitalistic planet (based on personal greed and corporate corruption). Other words, on a capitalistic planet - MONEY is WAY more important than attaining an EDUCATION (aka the Donald John Trump Effect/Capitalism). FYI: Money is not the root of all evil, people are the root all evil!
