🤷‍♀️🧙‍♂️ True or false? 🙄❓

I understand why @Fleurke said yes to all three statements BUTTT also why @Lianshen and @Etienne said no to all three. This time i was not so super sure and maybe still i dont know it really certain. I will try to explain super short because it is late!!!!

➡️ Animal testing should be banned.

This statement is very difficult because i am against animal suffering from tests. But i know it is a FACTTTT that it saves human lives for example to make medicines. So i think IF you dont need animal testing but it is just easier: DONT DO IT. But if for example you can save thousands of people it is allowed. But still i think it is difficult.

➡️ Guns and other weapons should be banned (unless you are a soldier or in the police).

I understand why @Lianshen and @Etienne think the answer is no because there are for example a lot of illegal weapons. BUTTTT it is also that ANY gun is one too much. And you still pay money to the weapon makers so they can make more perhaps. And in my country i think nobody needs a gun unless you are a soldier or in the police.

BUTTTT on the other hand and i think maybe @-Kiki- also knows this that the BIGGESTT problem in my country is not guns but knives and even super long knives. They are used A LOTTT to scare people or even with fights. And it is of course impossible to ban knives. So also this statement i am not very sure.

➡️ You ONLY have to follow sexual education in schools if you want to be in the class and are ready for it (so not in the first two years mandatory).

This statement is also difficult because it is super uncomfortable in the class and i dont like it at all bc a lot of people act like they are super cool and just say A LOT of things and that does not help and maybe it is better if you are ready for it or that you get that in small groups and not the whole class ORRR you can read it at home. And i did not think about the religious reasons that @Lianshen said i forgot about that so that is a good point. So AGAINNN a statement and i am not fully sure.

Thank you @Fleurke, @Lianshen and @Etienne for answering!!! 🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰

In my opinion animal testing should be banned. I know it's harder for science to develop, but I'm still against using and mistreating animals for our own good.

I'm not sure if banning the weapons is going to make any difference. There are always people going against the rule. Even if you'd destroy all of the weapons in the world, there's still going to be people who know how to make new ones and it's going to backfire on you.

I think knives are way more of a problem here than guns, indeed. And as you said @Yue_, you can't forbid kitchen knives for example.

No, defenitely not. I know it's super awkward to be in class with sexual education, as some are defenitely ready to get the talk and others aren't. Tho, it's still important to teach all teenagers about the topic at the same time, otherwise teenagers could lie to their peers who didn't get the talk yet about what's considered normal and what isn't and get their way in absurd behaviour.

At some point in time, the easy access of the average guy on the street (or worse: any teenage offspring) to a broad variety of weapons will be an unfortunate fact of life. Considering the abundance of e.g. knives amongst youngsters, we may have already reached that state quite some time ago in The Netherlands.

Illegal domestic production and cross-border arms trade - and also more recently the advent of 3D printing of weapons - will also increasingly cater those who are not even eligible to vote yet.

Hello everybody! 🙋‍♀️

This time i have a statement BUTTT it is not mine i just heard it. I am curious what you think about it:

➡️ If every person MUSTTT go to a psychologist, he will find with EVERY person something that is wrong.

What do you think about the statements? 🙄🙄 True ✅ or false ❌ ?

My answer to the statement of today is that it is maybe a little bit true because NOBODY is perfect. BUTTTT even if smt is wrong it is NOTT that you have to go in therapy. But only if you want it or if you REALLY need it. 💁‍♀️✨💫

True because-everybody have something wath happend in their life bv. A dead a bad experition bulling etc

I've heard about a studies in which some people had a fake diagnoses and the psychologists all believed it, tho they all didn't actually have that diagnoses. So that means the statement is true.

Would you be afraid to talk with a psychologist @-Kiki-? i still think it is a very nervous moment!!! 😬😬

...or they will always come up with something supposedly wrong with you because they need you to keep coming back and 💸️💸️💸️ the hell out of you 😃

I guess, but what is free for the patient/client isn't for the taxpayer 😛. Free healthcare is a really bad idea because it incentives people to use the system for futile reasons since they're under the impression it's magic. So we need sky high taxes to try to keep up with the sky high expenses, it's a vicious cycle. If people paid for say 20% of the cost they would act much more responsibly, and we would have significantly lower taxes. We need affordable healthcare, not "free" healthcare

I have no idea how that is in my country free or super expensive. But i think psychologist can also really help people but i was curious how many people have for example issues and they dont know it even. But the statement is interesting i think! 😛

Was going to say that. It's like when you go to a mechanic for a random thing and the dude finds out your car has a cancer of the wheel and needs a replacement of the engine.😂

One in 4 people will sometime in their life struggle with physical issues, so that's a lot of people. Here in the Netherlands, you have to pay your "own risk", which is a mandatory €365 a year and then mental healthcare as in therapy sessions are free. I don't agree that it's "free", at least not here, here it's affordable for those who need it.

Moreover, if mental issues keep people from working, there's less taxes to be paid and people will need money from the government to provide for their house, groceries, insurance etc, so it's not only beneficial for the government to charge more for mental health care.

In conclusion, I don't agree with you. Free mental health care is far from futile, nobody says it's magic, most people know they still need to put in the energy themselves to get better. To be able to go to therapy, there are long waiting lists, so it's not like anyone can just go in whenever they please and use it for futile reasons.

I think it is important that you can get therapy if you need it and i know also here on PPG several persons who really had good help. And if they would not get it they would have problems in school or maybe could not even go at all.

If you are a psychologist i think it is also super difficult work. Because you have to help people who have problems and YOUUU need to fix it or help with it. Sometimes i talk with friends and they have problems ANDDD i dont even know what to say so i just try to be there but i am most of the times silent. But that can also help i think. But it is of course not the same as a therapist because they can do much more.

I certainly didn't mean that mental health is futile or even that it's necessarily a waste of money. I just stressed that making all types of care readily available at no cost isn't sustainable at scale, and all visits should be paid for (even if it's a smaller fee) to ensure people behave responsibly. Because on the opposite side of the spectrum there are many just like me, paying several hundreds of euros every single month to social security, and the one time every couple of years I'm actually sick and need to go to the doctor... I can't. Because there are no doctors where I live. Is this fair? I know when talking about health we exclusively focus on those who do need, but equality should work both ways 😛. And no the answer can't be "so let's add doctors where you live" for many different reasons that I will spare you from.

Can I ask a question: so if you have to go to a doctor for things that are not super serious ORRR if you have for example an accident and you have to go to the hospital how far is it from where you live? 🙄🙄

In France you can't really go to a random doctor, they need to accept you as a patient and they're all completely full. Yes if something serious happens to you you can always go to the hospital, but the wait time is ridiculously long (last year the national average was 4.5 hours). The system is just as broken as it is outrageously expensive
