Focking Original replied to Christopher Cheung's discussion Should obese children be put into foster care? Alternatives?"Thanks & you're welcome!
Yes it has improved enormously (At age 18 I found out that I had to go trough old unsolved problems, before I could move forward). Now I'm 21 and feel like my life is going like how I want it to go. I'm…"

Christopher Cheung replied to Christopher Cheung's discussion Should obese children be put into foster care? Alternatives?"Damn that's tough. Yep, not everyone's situation is the same. Could be a illness that causes weight gain or a mental issue or choice. I hope your situation has improved. :/"
Focking Original replied to Christopher Cheung's discussion Should obese children be put into foster care? Alternatives?"I was overweight when I was in my teens.
Taking me into foster care wouldn't be the solution for my problems.
I'd actually would be pretty pissed if the government would have put me into foster care.
My parents didn't hand me fatty…"
Christopher Cheung replied to Michael V.'s discussion Other Options To Cease/Slow or even Legalize Piracy."Hmmmm. These are interesting ideas. I'm relatively new to the piracy issue but I think the torrent site idea is a good one. People are pirating these movies anyways so why not have a legal form of it and make some profit via advertisements. (I…"
Michael V. replied to Christopher Cheung's discussion Should obese children be put into foster care? Alternatives?"I guess, financing a project like proposed in the article you linked would take alot of finances...Social workers..Infrastructure..Doctors..Administration...Etc..Don't know if it's top priority to spend such amount on this right now.. In…"
Christopher Cheung replied to Christopher Cheung's discussion Should obese children be put into foster care? Alternatives?"Yep. Here in America Obama tried to pass a Universal Health Care Bill as you might have heard a while back. Maybe this could have been part of it. Hmm.. but yeah like they say, money is everything."
Michael V. replied to Christopher Cheung's discussion Should obese children be put into foster care? Alternatives?"Great idea.. but like you say .. i guess financing it will be the biggest problem for any government...nice post ! :-)"
Christopher Cheung replied to Christopher Cheung's discussion Should obese children be put into foster care? Alternatives?"Good thoughts. I agree, most likely children will be stuck with their current state unless someone is there to guide them and their families. A large percentage of kids end up staying overweight into adulthood. My own response to this issue was…"
Michael V. replied to Christopher Cheung's discussion Should obese children be put into foster care? Alternatives?":O Allright..I don't think that's a good idea, Because taking them from their parents won't be a positive factor in getting rid of that obesity... I think they should issue an order first to the parents to actively help theyre child…"

Bardasu Florin replied to SparTom007 - Tom's discussion Why I argue so "aggressively" | Distorted views can kill | Teenager kills herself after researching 2012 doomsday theories" From the beginning of the human kind, fear was necessary to keep us alive and avoid certain dangers lions, bigger monkeys, ecc. so is well preserved in our brains because we can't compair 500 years of so called evolution with two…"
Timo Kerremans replied to Tim Young's discussion Capitalism and profit"Yes I agree with that, a global change in the state of mind.I think if every single person in the world has an enormous feeling for solidarity, it is possible to create a working system where money would be obsolete. This unfortunatly is an utopian…"
Tim Young replied to Tim Young's discussion Capitalism and profit"I believe an entirely new paradigm is required. A global mindset shift away from the notion of "profit" and towards co-existence within a cooperative framework."
Timo Kerremans replied to Tim Young's discussion Capitalism and profit"What might be a solution for this profit-based society?They say money can solve a lot of problems, but these problems are mostly created by the bad use of money. I think you can't solve problems with the same thing that caused them. "
Tim Young replied to Bart Skraeling's discussion dealing with trolls"Yes that's similar to the usual advice one might see. And most of it is good advice. The only problem I have is with the "ignoring". Good in theory but in practice not always that easy - especially with the more persistent…"
Bart Skraeling replied to Bart Skraeling's discussion dealing with trolls"i liked this blog http://networkbloggingtips.com/dealing-with-trolls-and-negativity/ especially the part about about fighting off the troll with dwarfs"
Tim Young replied to Bart Skraeling's discussion dealing with trolls"Yes well, you could speculate forever as to the why. But how will you ever know the real truth - unless you get some actual trolls to fess up. I am guessing honesty is not their strongest suit.
I would also suggest that most of them probably…"
Bart Skraeling replied to Bart Skraeling's discussion dealing with trolls"when i looked down on the page i saw someone was trying to discuss their view on immigrants in a calm and intellectual way, that didn`t work out. so then he responded with rage afterwards.

Tim Young replied to Bart Skraeling's discussion dealing with trolls"The moment you let a troll get under your skin and you react with anger or similar - then they are getting exactly what they want.
So anything BUT getting angry or pissed off with them works a lot better.
Sarcasm can work well. Like commenting…"

yesterday it was the eurovision song contest.I went into a newspapers internett site (dagbladet if anyone is interested) and saw they had a forum for discussing the results (the results where coming in at the time). much of the forum was covered with the comments of two people, both trolls, one in norwegian and one in english. they where claiming that norway lost because we sent an immigrant to the finals (the guy was born in Iran but came to norway when he was just over 1 yrs old), and other…See More
