Re: Dog attacks

In Thailand it is always someone esles problem, Quite simply we had the same problem, and most of the dogs belomged to uncaring neighbours.

Re: Locals main abusers of children

Hmm! One is about adults acting like a child in the attitude and manners, the other is about abuse of children! Nothing to think about really except the view of how people only pick out the information that will benifit their views! (A bit like a wife really...Only hear the parts she wants to hear!)...

Re: Locals main abusers of children
