50 ‘Weird Facts’ About The World That Might Give You A Fresh Perspective

That is an absolutely tremendously enormous amount. Are there any estimates to how many feral cats there are in Australia?

Yes, my neighbor got tested and they told her that her baby had downs, but he didn't. You have to be absolutely sure

To Stoopham McFernybabes, sorry can't directly comment coz you have been downvoted too much so hopefully you see this. I believe your question is valid so I will answer the best I can. Having a stutter is not even close to down syndrome because whilst a stutter can be a massive struggle, the fact is that a stutter doesn't prevent the person from being independent and in many cases it can be reduced dramatically with therapy. Yes there are people with down syndrome that can be independent and live wonderful happy lives, but on the other side there are people with down syndrome that have the intellectual capability of a toddler their whole lives, so they need full time care. Even significant clinical depression (which I suffer from), can improve and in majority of cases the person is completely capable of being independent. So I understand your question, I just don't see any similarities that can compare them.

As it should be.This was ALWAYS on my play list

50 ‘Weird Facts’ About The World That Might Give You A Fresh Perspective

Tell me, and I am genuinely not trying to be facetious or antagonistic, here, just wanting to generate a conversation - would you do the same if you found out your child would have significant clinical depression throughout their life? Or a profound stutter that made day to day verbal communication impossible?

Definitely, neutering is the answer, and apparently a high protein diet reduces their urge to hunt. You can still be a responsible cat owner and not have draconian laws like keeping them on a leash or confining them to your house, which I think is cruel. Much like keeping birds in a small cage, I feel this is unbelievably cruel to the animal.

50 ‘Weird Facts’ About The World That Might Give You A Fresh Perspective

I worked in a group home with developmentally disabled people and I love them to death they were like my family. But I agree with you I saw so many suffering. So many alone and if you read the statistics on the other post so many sexually abused. I would not want that for my child if I had a choice. If I still gave birth to a child like that then I would love it and take care of it but if I had a choice no.

50 ‘Weird Facts’ About The World That Might Give You A Fresh Perspective

I will probably get downvoted for this and get banned but I don't care. If was pregnant and it was detected the foetus had down syndrome, I would abort. Not everyone with down syndrome are adorable happy people that can be independent. Some are like babies their whole lives and need a lot more special, lifelong care. I personally could not cope. Kudos to anyone who has/can, just remember that not everyone has the ability, whether emotional, financial, physical or mental etc.

50 ‘Weird Facts’ About The World That Might Give You A Fresh Perspective

I had tests indicating two of my babies had Downs, but neither of them did. Further testing provided more accurate results

Not 100% true. Not everyone with down syndrome is the same and some actually suffer quite significantly.

Had to stop reading the list because most of these stats don’t have sources cited and that’s frustrating. Am hoping some helpful Pandas will fill in the gaps with proper sources and more info (and thanks to all who do!)

It's so odd when you come out of what you grew up to know is truth... then realize that is now how things really are and then grow instead of blinding believing what you were taught. That is powerful.

Is "Gay Conversion Therapy" therapy to get you out of your "tendencies" or helping you coming out? If it's the first one, then your dad did a great turnabout.

Where I'm from, we buy salt in 1kg packages. Sure, you can buy them in fancy little jars, rock salt, Himalaya salt, salt flakes, you name it, it's available. But salt is also sold in 1kg packages. Now, would you like your salt fine, coarse, still wet from the sea, or iodised?

Thank you so much for your encouraging words, Amanda. I'm sorry your mom never apologised. There are things my parents never apologised for, either, and I still hold it against them, even though I have a good relationship with them. They are slow wounds to heal.

I used to be the parent that would occasionally lose their s**t and shout ugly things at my eldest child, when things like this happened. One day I realised how wrong it was, and also why I was acting the way I was. I had a long talk with my child about how I responded to her was wrong, and I have to say, not freaking out over little things not only makes me a much more pleasant parent, but in itself it makes me a lot more patient. And the way her confidence grew will make me regret my ill temper forever.

30 People Warn Tourists About Common Scams In Their Countries

I'm guessing you are talking about "coperto"? That is actually mentioned on the menu, and it is not a scam, nor something you can just decline. It is essentially a flat, fixed cover charge for the service. And of course, if you eat the bread in the basket and then ask for more, you will pay more bread. And you will still pay the "coperto".
