    I can give you my experience that I am sorry to say won't be much help but may be of some use to somebody. I am now 79.

     

    I was never brought up to take care of my teeth so never visited dentists or even cleaned my teeth as a child. My first encounter was at aged 20 when I had serious toothache, about five years later, same again and had a tooth extracted with local anaesthetic. My last visit in 1976 for yet another bout of bad toothache; a similar situation - straight extraction.

     

    I didn't visit another dentist for any reason until 2007 in Chiang Mai. By then, my remaining teeth were needing some real attention. At the clinic I was fully assessed, including Xrays and a subsequent appointment was made for the following month. Out of interest, my lack of concern for my teeth was never because of being scared of dentists or anaesthetic.

     

    At last, I was doing something positive for my teeth and I was feeling proud of myself for being so "brave".

     

    I sat in the chair and even at that point I was feeling absolutely fine. The local anaestheic was applied and a few seconds later I had difficulty breathing. The situation was difficult for the team there and they took me straight to hospital where I underwent oxygen relief. I went home shortly afterwards. So not what I would think of as White Coat syndrome or anxiety but something was going on - in my subconscious?

     

    A day later, I was asked to get an allergy test for the anaesthetic with no negative outcome. The Clinic subsequently refused any future treatment for me and no fees from them of any kind!

     

    As I write I still haven't managed to sort out my teeth. I haven't had toothache for many years. They don't help for facial appearance but I eat normally and to be fair, I have cleaned them two or three times a day for the last 15 years.

     

    Yes, I know, there are justified criticisms of my lack of care in most of my lifetime, but you know, I am otherwise in perfect health.

     

    Are u British 😂

    So gay is who you are, that's it?

    How?

    Freudian slip? Classrooms are not public places.

    There are people that don't know this?

    I have not read any posters making any such claims. Being against sexualizing children in K-12 does not make one anti-gay, unless your position is that gay people are sexualizing children. 

    Why? 

    I just do not know where to start to answer your astonishingly ignorant and misguided questions.... So I won't. 

     

    How on earth you could think a rainbow flag is sexualising children is beyond me.

  3. Seems like the conflict will never end as neither side will be happy unless they wipe out the other. 

     

    None are interested in any agreement or peace.  

     

    It's become down to extremist religious views on both sides, and they have lost any common sense. 

     

    The only solution is let them fight it out and for one side to wipe out the other if they won't compromise.

    And here we have the reason. Time to hold the parents responsible

    I my country the parents would face legal action for child neglect / endangerment. 

     

    What parent would allow a 12 year old to ride a motor bike...add the extra younger children on the back...  and out at midnight!? 

     

    I bet they were not even told to wear helmets either.

    The mother's reluctance to press charges isn't as incomprehensible and backward as it might initially appear. With the daughter being developmentally impaired, there is a strong possibility that she will be dependent on her parents throughout her life. The imprisonment of the family breadwinner would likely doom the mother and daughter to a lifetime of poverty. I am wondering what those condemning the mother would do if they found themselves in a similar situation? I was relieved to read that the police insisted on pursuing charges, but those sitting in judgment of the mother need to consider the pragmatic choices people are forced to make when faced with life's harsh realities. 

    So your idea would be to let the poor girl live in a household where she is abused and raped the rest of her life by her stepfather...getting impregnated over and over again?  No supper from her mother or other family...who will tell her to take it as the man raping her is the one working? 

     

    How will his money go towards raising the babies the girl has?  

     

    And the girls offspring will be in danger from their own father once they grow up a bit.

    If bothered by noise a lot you have a lack of focus. The problem is with you not them.

     

     

    What?! 

     

    So, if someone started playing the trumpet or having music full volume at 2am in the room next to yours...when you had to be up for work at 6am......you will be in the wrong as u have lack of focus?  😅

    They attributed the tiger’s death to ageing and stated that another white tiger cub had died earlier, at less than ten months due to weak health and infection. Several other animals had also died or disappeared, allegedly due to predation by pythons, preventing the recovery of their remains.

     

    All within one month. Huh? Purely coincidental? Nope. Don't thing so. Neglect? Poor care? Maintenance issues? 

     

    Deflect. Never, ever take responsibility for your actions. 

    I am yet to see any Thai institution, or Thai person in general, take responsibility for their mistakes here.
