You shouldn't die or go into massive debt simply because you can't afford the thousands upon thousands of dollars for something you need to you know.. live. For that matter, no one in should be paying thousands of dollars for dental fees because insurance is *kitten* or you can't afford it.
It's just wrong. Everyone should have access to affordable and safe health care and the ability to take care of themselves when they get sick or have serious issues. Sadly, that's not how it is in this country. And that, to me, is a sad, sad state.
So as far as behavior, I would say: The predatory nature of insurance and medical companies in the United States (and probably other places in the world). They aren't working for the betterment of people, they're only interested in profits. And that's fine for a business, but not fine when it's a business that helps keep people alive. I would go so far as to say it's unethical.
The food industry is a huge culprit in this...
They literally manufacture products designed to make you eat as much as possible at the cheapest cost to produce...
There is a reason you can't just eat one cookie, or one chip, or one slice of pizza, or a few fries... They've used your own brain chemistry against you...
Look at soda as an example... Most people who stop drinking soda literally have to "quit" soda, it's not easy and comes with headaches and all... Wtf do they put in it that people have to struggle to avoid their products...
How in the world are kids going to stand a chance when adults have to quit something like this...6 -

Make sure you add to the list women who fool men into thinking a child is his when in fact it's another man's child, then try to get courts to make the man who is not the father pay.
Also add to the list, women who cheat on their husbands and then want to take his child from him because, somehow, even though she cannot be honest, in some twist of logic, we should trust her to be the primary caretaker for the child and to use the support he provides for the child and not for her new affair partner...

In other words, it's not just men, women are equal to the task of being crappy people.12 -

This!! 👏🏻 I remember when I was a kid some weird man told me I’d look prettier if I smiled and I stuck my middle finger up at him. I was about 9 and didn’t take no crap from anyone 😂 someone could be having a bad day, just received bad news or something and some irrelevant foe decides to taunt them with the, “you would look prettier if you smiled.” I wasn’t born to please anyone.
Or someone may have had some bratty 9 yr old give them the finger......people shouldnt tell people to smile, and kids shouldnt be flipping people off.....;)7 -

i was a bratty 9-year-old. And I gave the finger often. Before I even knew what it meant probably.
And I turned out all right.
Sort of.
Just don’t tell me to smile2 -

🤣When I was a kid I always gave the finger to cars who were next to us at red lights. I don't think I knew what I really meant either.4 -
I gave the finger to everyone as a kid.....hell i did a lot worse than that. As a kid we do dumb *kitten*.......when you grow up, it best to recognize it dumb *kitten*. Basically saying F you to people has consequences. You wanna be a fool, you get treated like one. Some people deserve the finger, hell some people deserve a slap upside the head.....either way, most times as an adult standing up for yourself is more about not paying fools any mind and going about your business as you see fit without the theatrics. But hey, i come from a place where you stick that finger up, you best know how to use the rest of that hand.3

I didn’t flip anyone off and I wasn’t a brat I just didn’t tolerate crap and still don’t 🤷🏻♀️hellopineapples wrote: »Why are people disagreeing with the fact a child stuck up for themselves 🤣 it was a creep at a park by the way not that I needed to mention that but sure that’ll get disagreed on too because people seem to think that behaviour is fine.
I disagreed with your post because you said you flipped off the guy then you said you didn't flip anyone off in another post.

I guess you would have to define "children." I have a 9 (10 in a few weeks) and 7 year old and they don't have phones yet, but they do have Gizmo watches that have five contacts in them...me, their mom, grandma 1, grandma 2, and auntie.
They can call us when they need to...like yesterday my oldest called after school to tell us we needed to pick him up because his archery practice was cancelled at the last minute. They also have GPS monitoring so we can see where they are when out playing around in our neighborhood and we can call them when we want them to come home. They are also occasionally left alone at home if I need to run a quick 10-15 minute errand and we don't have a landline. As they get older, those stints at home will get longer. Next year they will also start taking the bus to and from school so we'll be able to monitor that and they will be home for about 1/2 an hour alone after school and 20 minutes or so before school.
We're talking about possibly getting our 10 year old an actual phone for his birthday as he will be taking on more responsibilities and also doing more after school stuff. It will be a flip phone for calling and texting. It's up to the parents to teach kids how to use a phone responsibly.
We'll probably get him a smart phone when he goes into middle school. He already gets homework assignments that require using a tablet or computer and they use tablets at school. The school he's going to for middle school does a lot of their work electronically and a phone would be handy for that.4 -

Here in the States not much phases me. Other countries: Honor killings, theocracies, female genital mutilation, forced child labor, public executions....
The world is a wonderful place isn't it?11 -
