This ons needs to be higher. Remember a while back in Milan the bankers went on strike and there was a panic but nothing terrible happened? And then the garbage cleaners/collectors went on strike and the city was a filthy mess. Essential workers need better wages because they are the people that make the world a better place.

Are they really people anymore with all the implants fillers, injections and prosthetics they’ve used to modify themselves. Can they still be considered human?

Finally; a true human.

People have been idle bystanders for a long time before cellphones came with cameras.

Fox hunting has supposedly been banned in the UK, not Scotland though I think. I 100% agree with you, but what about bull fighting in Spain and Portugal, sheep stabbing for halal meat and many other abuses, do not blame just the UK

I have no problem with faith. The problem lies in the man made rules that define the organized Religion. Made by men with ulterior motives, like power and/or wealth

Mine had a shirt with 'eat sleep s**t repeat' and that was far more accurate as 'ladies man'.

"Lighten" up? That does sound like a racist slur, as lightening up usually means to make things less dark. We should replace this saying immediately! (Please note that this is a satire)

I hate that too. It's really bad in the cultures where friendships between genders are regarded with doubt.

It's fine if people ask you if you have kids. It's not fine when people start questioning why you don't have kids.

This should be done when the child is old enough to decide. It being a culture thing is not an excuse. Culture evolves too.

I grew up that way and always thought I had no choice. Far forward to age 13 where I was a junior bride's maid and at the end of the after-party, a man, about 80 years old, asked me for a kiss as we were leaving. The dirty b*stard stuck his tongue down my throat and made an mmm sound. Now, a 51, ANY time a man kisses me and makes that sound, I want to vomit.

When my children were little I would give them some suggestions, "Hug, kiss or wave". It allowed the children to decide how to interact. At one point the list included 'dinosaur roar', because 'Roar!' means 'I love you in dinosaur language'.

I HATE this. My parents always tell my children (11 and 13 now) that since they didnt give them a hug or kiss or say hello than the would not get any birthday/christmas/etc presents. It made me so mad. I tell them all the time to stop it too. They think its funny.

What gets me is parents who make an effort to teach their young children to be wary of strangers and anyone else who makes them feel uncomfortable, yet at Christmas time they expect their children to smile and sit on the lap of a strange, white-bearded man in a red suit. 🙄 And they wonder why the kids are scared, crying, and trying to get away?? 🤦🏻‍♀️

After a family member told her 11 year old son to give me a hug, I told the kid not unless you wanted to. I told him he could do what he wishes Hug/high 5/ fist bump/simple bye! When I was leaving 20 minutes later, he ran up to me and gave me a big hug.

THIS post here. If my child were uncomfortable, I wouldn't force it, but I don't think being encouraged to show family love is just a huge issue

My gran acts like I offended her great ancestors when I don't want the routinely hug and kiss x-x

I am very picky about who I hug/kiss, but if I choose you're okay to touch me then you are getting a LOT of hugs bc i always want more attention from people who I like. My parents don't understand that I get uncomfortable hugging most people and get mad when I don't want to hug someone.

I HAD to learn to kiss and be kissed when I married :-( Luckily ???? they were those dreadful "mwa mwa" kisses and a bit of stinky face powder in my cheek. And even better that generation is now dead!

My granddaughter who is 3, recently decided she doesn't want kisses anymore. Even blown kisses are wiped away. Hugs are still good. Apparently I was the same as a little one and upset my great grandmother because of it. Happily though my parents allowed me my choice.

I ask my niece and nephews if they want to hug every time I see them.

I explained the concept of not forcing kids to hug/kiss adults and my mum thought it was a bit silly but my dad (in his 70s), who in some ways can be a bit old fashioned in his views completely understood the idea and agreed with me completely.

It's caused issues for me with my family. I make my kids say hello and goodbye, but I ask them if they want to give anyone a hug and I don't push the issue if they say no

There have been so many times since I got into high school that I've realized I can shove my dad away when he tries to hug me, even tho he'll say something like "oh don't do that, come here"

In my family that backfired hugely because I was an honest child. We only saw my father's side of the family 2-3 times a year because they lived far, so I didn't feel much connection to them and was uncomfortable kissing them, especially the adults as they were more unkempt then what I was used to. So when we arrived I always tried to make myself invisible and hoped that everyone would forget about me not greeting someone among all the commotion with so many people. Then one time I was still pressured to kiss my aunt and I said "but she stings!!!!" She indeed had a bit of a facial hair issue and when you kissed her you could feel her "stubble" . Everyone was mortified, and I was not forced to kiss people again.

My wife used to even kiss them on the mouth...which is kinda normal in Switzerland apparently. But she stopped when I told her it made me feel uncomfortable. She did kiss em on the cheeks afterwards, which was also fine for her.

oh, dear God.

I don't think anybody here thinks Elon Musk is a good guy. Personally I think he's a sh!t.

This should be higher

Totally this. Had to go to a dinner party thing recently hosted by a couple I’d never met. They asked my partner what alcohol they should buy for us, and he told them I don’t drink alcohol so not to worry. Their reply? “She will be doing tomorrow”. They have no idea why I don’t drink, and I think it was a real out of order answer. Of course they then tried to get me to drink all evening.

It works both ways. Conservatives are just as guilty as liberals, if not more so.

This should be forbidden. It's a breach of privacy. Just stop..

And shaming women for breastfeeding publicly. Like: As a mother you can't do it right, since you are judged anyway.

Beyond over rated.

I didn't care where I was or who was around. If my baby was hungry, I'd whip out the boob and not cover his head. Breastfeeding is natural and breasts are meant for feeding, that is there sole purpose!

Actually, we do expect the same behaviour from adults. In a work environment, it's called networking and everyone seems to hate it but it's necessary for doing business. Also, how else would you meet new people at a party?

The advantage of being a millenial: Old enough to not have everything from childhood posted on the internet and young enough to grow up with the Internet

Always found hypocritical when parents would blame Brittany Spears and Christina Aguilera for the short shirts, but parents took NO responsibility for being the ones that bought their kids those clothes and let them wear them

So true! When I was in my 40s, I couldn't get a job to save my life. However, we recently moved to Washington, and I got 3 job offers after 2 months of job hunting. In the state government application system they ask if you are over 40, and it weighs your application in your favor. I presume it is in response to the discrimination you described. I had two public and one private job offers, so I guess the culture here is different? I've lived in other states where my age was definitely used against me, so Washington has been a tremendous relief!

Hallelujah for saying this. FB is so messed up.

Appalling behavior:- displays the low IQ, total lack of manners and desperate need for attention.

The novelty of reality TV wore off for me about halfway through the first episode of Survivor. Can’t stand the genre, don’t watch it. It needs to go away.

When I had my twins, I wanted to be surprised by their genders so I asked for yellow and green outfits and color schemes for the bedding and such. When they both turned out to be boys i didn't automatically change everything to blue either ☺️

I forgot to add their gender reveals.

Is it a good book? What kind of music goes with the book you are reading? I have questions

Mainly in the USA as now but spreading

I greeted a server with "how are you" the other day. She responded with a shrug and a "meh." I said, "You know what? I appreciate your honesty. It's 2021; none of us is "fine." She laughed. Be less afraid to disrupt the status quo. Be human instead.

Louder!

and they get HELLA PAID. Its almost child labor.
