In your opinion

Um... Obviously. What was the point of that comment 🤣

"Modern health care relies on petroleum products that have few substitutes. Plastics are used in a wide-range of medical devices and petrochemicals are relied on for pharmaceuticals. Products include hospital equipment, IV bags, aspirin, antihistamines, artificial limbs, dentures, hearing aids, heart valves and many more."

That's the problem. 

We need to find alternatives to oil 

Anyway they amount tod oil used in these medical things is insignificant compared to the environmental impacts of oil used for fuel, for example.

IMO parading around in a shirt saying "just stop oil" marks one as an idiot, and if any doctors think that is a sensible thing they are suspect of being too stupid to practice.

 

Imagine if their wish came true and oil stopped tomorrow. By Christmas most of human life would have ended, given that oil is used to grow most of the food we eat, and make the medicine they prescribe.

Please don't grow your food in oil. That's not gonna be healthy to eat.

Spot on.

 

Why this story is considered newsworthy is beyond me.

Because a percentage of British people have some deluded and perverse pleasure in anything to do with their unelected, outdated and entitled family of Germans who lord it over them....living a super rich lifestyle for doing sweet FA, while they have to struggle even to pay utility bills or feed their own children. 

So the results just show that mostly more women are saying they are bi sexual than preciously. 

It's good that these days people feel able to be more honest about their sexual feelings. 

The percentages were probably the same for all the other generations before them, but society made it harder for people to be honest about their true feelings, or they repressed them out of shame or learned morals from religion or society in general. 

Yep. It's any Isreal concerning the war on Palistine. It's not about being anti Jewish people who live in Ireland.

Yes, from my generation, quite common for little awareness of dental care. I readily accept lack of responsibility since adulthood. 

Funny. Around the world British people are portrayed as having the worst teeth and dental hygiene. Often in cartoons for example British characters or shown with crooked teeth or buck teeth. 

The dentistry in the UK is actually very bad. One third of people there have no access at all to dentists. People are resorting to pulling their own rotten teeth out at home.. 

It do not think you should be proud of the state of British people's dental care. Lol

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 😂

Nonsense, and dogs are a lot worse, they form packs and attack humans in the streets. Cats never do this unless you try yo handle them. They can also behave live jealous wives.

Sorry this is not right.

I think you are the ideal person to eutanise that cat.

Haha. I would feed it to my snake. 

Seriously though, he need to get it treated if it's living in his house and his pet.. 

He also needs to get it fixed so it won't reproduce.

In my mind cats are vermin, and the world's most damaging invasive species, possible exception of rats. 

However, if you take and care for any animal (even a rat) you are then responsible for it.  

So you should take it to the vet to get treatment. 

Come on. Where are the posters saying......why do they have to have a women's days..because we don't have a men's day.

Why do women want special treatment and more rights than men?  Haha

Face what?

Covered this already and anyway it's not OK if people feel the need to hide their ethnicity just to feel safe.

Hide their ethnicity or their religion?

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. 

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.
