Run up a bill to die, what an American sentence.

Absolutely! People are saying I need to get a hobby, but I really need to do nothing sometimes. My free time is just a few ours monthly, so no hobbies are worth it 😃

YES! Just because I don't like someone doesn't mean I will be rude to them!

Completely agree. Yet, people think that we, who don't have children, are considered selfish. Having children is not for everybody.

I can't believe they made it illegal in the States, that's madness! If you make it illegal it will just go underground and women will die. It happened in the past and will happen again. Woman deserve the have the choice about what happens to their bodies

I'd rather call it "social health system", as "socialist" refers to so many irrelevant, misleading and charged political topics

Being able to identify toxic people and cutting them out of your life before their abuse break you down, can be a major green flag, and a true sign of strength as it is not an easy thing to do.

I'm on board on sleeping-in. I like my sleep, and if I don't have to be anywhere/somewhere, what's the point of getting-up so early?

But Google says I know everything

I like being alone

I will just shove my mental problems under this rug. What I don't see doesn't exist, right?

As long as they aren’t mocking or insulting the people and their culture, there shouldn’t be a problem

Pssssstttt Americans: It’s actually illegal for companies to forbid you from talking about your salary. Violates your right to Unionize or something obscure.

“I don’t want my tax dollars being used to pay for lazy people! Just get a job!” - Most, if not all Republicans.

Men having emotions other than anger, women being angry or being unemotional. It's like men are only allowed to be either angry or unemotional and women must feel some feelings but it must not be anger.

I guess if you don't live with anyone else and you aren't neglecting other responsibilities that you have, then there's nothing wrong with it.

Some girls get their period at 8 or 9. Should at least start teaching kids about puberty then. Even if one kid starts puberty later, they will be around kids who go through it earlier and all kids should know about it.

Not teaching kids about consent only benefit those who want to abuse them

I talked to my kids in age appropriate ways since they were little. Explaining that, these things were for grown ups to do with each other. That grown ups aren't allowed to do them with kids, and even if someone is nice, they are really a bad guy if they do those things to kids. And, if they say they will hurt you or hurt me, don't believe them. They will go to jail. There are good guys there that will deal with the bad guy.

God forbid our children should understand the basics of human biology...

When kids start asking questions, you got two choices: Answer them yourself, or let them find answers somewhere else. Questions don't go away.

I was lucky to be young at a golden time when we were given factual information. Plus I grew up with a set of encyclopedias in the house with a medical reference book. I loved the layered colored plates of the human body.

We give driver's ed to people too young to drive.

I'm beginning to feel like they should switch gears and teach Intimacy Education because kids have such easy access to adult material now and think that's what sex is really all about. They don't understand that it's all acting. I grew up with my brother sneaking looks at art books and National Geographic, lol

Some parents dont like to talk about this with their kids, so it would really help, not only to answer questions, but also recognize an abuse

YES! Luckily in the UK, you get taught this at around age 10.

It troubles me deeply that teaching basic realities about how our bodies work is controversial.

Knowledge is power. More knowledge promotes better decisions.

As Clinton's Surgeon General said; age appropriate. A 7 year old doesn't need the play by play of how babies are made, but s/he should know when s/he's being inappropriately touched.

Teaching children from birth the correct terminology for their genitals and sexual organs. It reduces the risk of missed/ misunderstandings in cases of abuse.

What? I start receiving that education at 8 at school...

We did a puberty talk pretty young, late elementary (I don't remember exactly) then they went into more detail about STDs and stuff in junior high.

This is quite vague.. what is the age of expected sexual activity? And how much younger? Doing sex education class at children of 6 years old would be pointless as they have no clue what you are talking about. Sex education should be introduced at age when people are getting into puberty not earlier.

That depends on what you mean by Sex education. My daughter knows what periods are, but that does not mean she knows how babies are made. It should really be up to the parents when and how much is explained to them. My child knows that grown girls bleed once a month and someday she will too. The exact mechanics I will explain when she is older. She knows that it's wrong for other people to touch her private parts (Unless it's a doctor for a neccesary health issue) the exact reasons for this she knows I'll explain when she is a bit older. Kindergarteners should not have the school teaching them how to procreate. Thier bodies are not ready for that kind of activity yet, nor are thier minds ready for that kind if stress and unnecessary drama. There are some things that should wait until they are older and able to understand. A five or six year old won't be able to understand calculus, or doing taxes, or driving a car either.

*Everyone

I always tell my students "making mistakes isn't failure. How will you learn if you can't make any mistakes?"

What's wrong with going to a restaurant alone? Let alone, doing things alone?

Funny- I never thought of games and movies not entering the public domain. Something to think about

But Google says.......

You're not allowed to age now? What the hell else are you going to do?

Stop blaming the poor. They get blamed for many social problems.

The issue is that at least in the US, they have set up a really crazy system where people like e.g. waiter has been allowed to "setup their own business inside a restaurant" rather than being paid staff by the restaurant owner. They are paid so little that they must rely on being able to be paid in tips, so you are basically making them work almost for free if you don't tip them, and that is not fair either. I like the european model more where the pay for the waiters are determined in advance and added to the price of the meal, so they don't have to gamble on your mercy.

Your choice, a hundred percent

Breastfeeding in public should be banned, but only after eating in public is banned, because that's what breastfeeding actually is - giving food to your child.

I used to work for someone, who would frown on us whenever we leave on time. He thinks that we're not being "loyal" if we didn't stay late. A hostile work environment, too. Thank goodness, it didn't take long for me to find a different job, where it wasn't as stressful. We did some overtime, when need be, but not all the time.

As I've said before, having children is not for everybody. For some, it might be as personal as having some medical issues. Really, it's nobody's business.

Your relationships are your choice :) it's not for anyone else to say

Is it normal to have imaginary friends too? Asking for a friend.
