Posted in: Adolescents who smoke or vape may believe tobacco’s perceived coping benefits outweigh accepted health risks See in context

It's tough being a teenager. They need switched on and involved, supportive parents and mentors to help them successfully transition from childhood to adulthood. It's not worth the risk of addiction to smoke or vape in order to cope with teenage pressures.

@bass4funk

Or just sadly many people buy into the blame everything on the Jews, this has been going on for over 2000 years

Maybe, maybe not. But let's forget about all that and focus on what is happening now......Israel's brutal slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent women, children, aged, etc and the utter demolition of Gaza. No matter what the excuse, this is a crime.

It is quite surreal to see that Israel has made it's name so odious with its merciless slaughter of the Gazans that the world's sympathies now side with Iran.

@Kurisupisu

Children don’t know danger and can innocently put themselves in harm’s way.

Leaving children unsupervised is unconscionable!

Exactly. Unless in an emergency. Missing British girl Madeleine McCann's poor parents ought to know.

Posted in: Order is the premise of societies in which people coexist. We will not live with foreigners who do not maintain order or abide by rules. See in context

It takes effort on both sides to co-exist peacefully. Newcomers need to respect local culture and try their best to meet societal expectations. Locals should be welcoming and patient. sometimes it takes a generation for full integration.

Posted in: Communication struggles in international marriages in Japan See in context

"I was sick of being made fun of. Nothing I did was ever good enough for him."

"She took everything so damn seriously. I couldn't say anything without it being analyzed"

“She Divorced Me Because I Left Dishes By The Sink,”

"My husband was American. He lived in Japan for 40 years [before he passed away] and he couldn't speak Japanese at all. I did everything, but he still acted as if he were the man of the house. He treated me like I was 'just a housewife'"

Never come to a conclusion based on what one partner says about the other. It's always far more complicated than that.

Posted in: Protest against Israel See in context

@YeahRight

Rewritten for accuracy:

They are focused on the right group. European Jews started this by emigrating to Palestine and stealing Arab land. Israel can end this. All they have to do is return all stolen lands, lay down arms and agree to a fair and meaningful two state solution. There would be no more genocide if israel would just do the right thing. Problem is, they are full of greed and hatred toward Gazans as evidence by their genocidal military assault. There will continue to be conflict as Israel wrongly continues to murder, starve and oppress the Gazans.

@GuruMick

Here.s some history for the "Hamas started this " people.

2006....seige on Gaza begins

2008 Operation "Cast Lead "..IDF assault on Gaza...1400 dead Gazans....of which 926 unarmed civilians.

2012 "Operation Pillar of Cloud " launched by Israel. 174 Palestinians killed. 107 of these civilians including children

2014 Operation "Protective Edge " launched by Israel. 1492 civilians killed, including 551 children and 299 women.

These figures continue following election of fourth Netanyahu Government in 2015.

All deaths are UN verified deaths.

How many more "operations " into Gaza before the Oct7 war,?

True. And....

1917 Balfour Declaration

1948 Establishment of modern Israel

Etc.

Posted in: Bill Gates speeds up giving away fortune, blasts Musk See in context

Giving away his fortune? You mean the $112.6 billion he accumulated while the vast majority of his workforce and the rest of humanity barely get by? And by the way, he's not just "giving it away" to the needy. He's using it to shape the world in HIS image, which is not necessarily what everyone else wants.

Gibson might help out because a Christian inclined to forgive.....but Victorians and the Aussie media ought to remember that they were nowhere to been seen or heard, even complicit, when Gibson was falsely smeared with a BS "anti-Semite" label and basically black balled from Hollywood.

I can understand her predicament and what she was facing. But how can one be so cold as to kill a baby? (If she in fact did)

But this is the result of popular culture that has devalued human life.
