@Bill *******

alternatively there could be groups of people inviting those who need advice, where newbies could come and crowdsource information, drawing from the experience of others to try to piece together the puzzle 🤔

@Jim **********

for sure you’re right and I really tried to agree with you clearly in my response. My only point is the group is named advice and it’s too common in this group for people to just crap on someone as soon as they post. You are 100% correct, of course- but sometimes newbies don’t know what they don’t know and so asking clarifying questions can help get them to the information they need. I didn’t see you be mean to anyone and I wasn’t calling you out for being mean to anyone. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Bonnie ********

this is such a reach and to be honest I’m not interested in engaging with you because I have been privy to your way of thinking in the past and apparently I forgot to block you.

I think it’s pretty infantile for grown men to behave the way they do in this group. You wouldn’t walk into a room and completely insult and try to humiliate a stranger but they do it in here ad nauseum. If anything, this kind of behavior is what has infantilized the Internet.

@Jack ****

he asked about “asians”. The Thai people, monarchy and government, do not romanticize the west or whiteness. They don’t aspire to mimic or reflect it. Thailand and China understand the pragmatic importance of knowing the language, but aren’t interested in immersing in or adopting the ‘culture’. Asia is a big place- I only spoke to SEA and the human psych dynamic in general, responding to his question.

There are many places in Asia that don’t put the west on a pedestal. I hope we’re having an interesting conversation and not a debate 😊

@Joe *******

it’s a very intense research project that’s been tracked for decades and is only being published in the last decade, that non white women and black women in America have a mortality rate (during or immediately after delivery) 25% higher and 50% higher, respectively, than their white counterparts. That’s your nutshell.

in this scenario the baby was born three months before going to the US.

@Don *****

this is why he and so many others are in this group. And it wouldn’t surprise me that some people have more than one profile in this group. It is definitely sport and entertainment for some of them.

@Don *****

I’m curious, what did you report it under? I just looked and there is no rule in regard to kindness, courtesy, civility, racism or any standards for interactions. Can’t report these comments… so this is acceptable I guess. 🤔

@Tohksic *****

you must not be familiar with the mortality rate for women delivering in the United States.
