Mr Robert Anton Wilson on youtube -The acceleration to 2012.

Comments please.

one poster mentioned Thai boxing

I was the youngest ever to fight and win here -man, were the dice loaded against me. Anyone wish to call me on this- ask for proof,I notice nobody who has, has yet to actually follow through.Nobody like to lose I guess.

Muay-thai is a sport,not a martail art, in a street fight, it use is limited.

the feet are from savate ( a french kicking art and other Asian influences,its hands are now boxing) it is use is very limited in a real fight so much so that i would even care a dot if i was facing the champ, just bite and tear,claw and rip.

They have no idea how to deal with this , the ones I have done this to sceam, run off, cry, wail, what they never do is kick, elbow, knee

they cannot, they do not have the distance and are in such pain

or a take themdown. A good rwill destroy them.

'to see the world in a grain of sand

and heaven in a wild flower

hold infinity in the palm of your hand

and see eternity in an hour"

its still a great world

Got exactly what I needed from Thailand and never plan on returning except for short visits. Thailand has completely turned to shit after I left. Luckily for me the Red Shirt portion of the political bullshit theatre started about a month after I left, and I did not need to leave when the asshol_e Yellow Shirts shut down the airports.

LOS falls under the same category as Southern California (Los Angeles, Anaheim. San Diego) and Orlando, Florida. They are nice to visit for short periods of time to see the tourist attractions and then go home. They dropped off of the list of retirement choices after Khun Thaksin (another jackass corrupt politician) was ousted from power by coup d'etat.

When the babies are grown, I'll be retiring to the Republic of The Philippines. The Heath care is for shit, but the Department of Veterans Affairs has medical care setup in country. The citizenry has a true appreciation for tourists and retirees, especially Americans. The ladies are lovely. The beaches are beautiful. American food is readily available. An American on Social Security can live like a king. And as a plus I will be able to leave my children my property in Balirong, Cebu. With the tradition of Filipinos and Filipinas travelling abroad to support their families have kept them from being xenophobes (LOS) and has added to the culture making them more willing to integrate into other societies. I can't wait to get back to Cebu.

Thailand needs to pull it's head out of it's ass really soon or they will be losing the rest of their long stayers. I don't think the "normal" citizens want to live like the Cambodians. Laotians, or Burmese. I can't imagine living on less than a dollar a day and that is where Thailand is headed. The alternative is a government ala' Ferdinand Marco's oppressive regime of The Philippines circa 1965-1986. If it gets much worse there, a authoritarian government with a supreme dictator will become appealing to the majority. When people have anarchy and a broken government, a dictatorship gets real appealing.

I feel for all of you stuck there, hope you don't have too much money sunk into the country. When the dictatorship takes over Thailand, your assets will be seized right before you are forced out of the country.

"May you live in interesting times." Sounds like it is getting more interesting my the day. Buy some bulletproof underwear and machete proof clothing.

what history has shown is that the very people who should stay in a place to help it change for the better, are the first one to leave..they cannot be balmed, but the logic is flawed

good people change places for the good

the bad stay-it suits them

my best friend is a top UK policemen, he cannot do his job due to all these PC law's

so, now he wishes to emigrate

such a shame

I have hope for Thailand. It saddens me how much potential this place has, yet is still so behind.

Despite what is going on now, there is very little danger for foreigner's.

And here I will go off again on my conspiracy tirade, the west could stop the trouble, ensure peace in day's.

So, could others who would be seen more in the right to do so, but have been told not to.

Some people want this.

The personal agenda's of some is over riding the concern's of the masses who are being used as tool's.

No doubt I will be insulted for this, accused of being a conspirator- and it is true, I cannot prove it.

I also cannot prove that tomorrow will exists , nor that I am not a complete lunatic.

easy to answer

it is a beautiful land

with beautiful kind heated people - yes, they do their their bad point, who does't?

with such potential

which could really use some positive influence from positive people

its very safe compared to many other place

has the best food in the world

the above statements could be applied to everywhere ( bar the safety aspect)

lets back the energy we give out

see negative and negative is what you will get ( usually)

Suggest as you feel necessary- it will only make you look foolish, or I should say, more foolish...I have never had a drink of alcohol in my life- next failed attempt please..

And my prison work?

Well, apart from being part of a group that supply the most books to foreign inmates, and overturned a rule in pattya jail that banned English books for some time I have been on the other side. And many other things I hope are positive.

You actually there you have me. I have been on both side's.

Once here for punching a policeman. That cost me a few days in a lock up, a cartoon of cigarette's and a bottle of whiskey.Well worth it.

Whilst there I saw a very young lady, almost a girl with a baby.

I inquired as to her circumstance's and was told, quite matter of factually that her husband was a well know crook who the police could not catch. So they grabbed her and held her as a sort of ransom

A few call's got her released.

What do you doubt?

Yes, we can debate the control issue- I was being very general,that was my error and actually I was quoting a very high ranking diplomat from a country I greatly respect,and love, but has not always done things I agree with.

To quote this person;

" we control Thailand".

I doubt however he would like me giving out the name so on this I can be accused of whatever one wishes. I am sure you can guess which country this person represented.

Do you honestly, truly believe that anyone with the necessary money/contact's can be prevented from re-entering this country?

Well I am glad for you that you dont drink, as would hate to see your ramblings on alcohol , if the above was written sober...<deleted> are you talking about...

look, search, explore, ask question's.

It's all out there if one looks. Look not only for what is out there- but what was out there and is now banned- and ask - why?

Here's one to start with. Just one.......Try to get hold of a book written apx 20-40 year's by a brit called "The devil dicuss"

About the investigation of the kings older brother death, a western police unit was called in.

The head investigator was a top investigator and saw everything despite a attempt to make a acceptable story.

They found out all the facts- then told " get out, that not what we want the people to hear" if not, why ban the book?

It's one of the 500 odd book's banned here...why?

Does anyone anyone honestly the line given out? If so, dream on- no wonder so much stay hidden.

This book open up so many other avenue's.

Like why does the west have so much leverage over Thailand.

Is it because the west can prove many things which would make the establishment lose so much face that it has so much leverage.

Read it before asking me <deleted> again and form your own opinion.

It Is Not Always Farangs Fault

yes it it

i mean have u seen the people they let in this country ?

They,the Thai's let in no one, they have no choice,its not even their decision

no say

no power

Thailand is basically a colony of the west, run, controled, dictated to.

It's whole existence is that of the west.

they, the thai's are unable to stop anyone who wants to come in from doing so, and has enough money from coming in will get in

I have seen people due to my prison work who have been kicked out many time's in bar's on sukumvit.

One embassy man said his country would much prefer them out here than at home, less problems for them, and will do nothing to change this.

I know of one man who was escorted to the airport put on a flight to UK, got off, and was back within a few month's.

May I suggest you refrain from drinking in said bars on Sukhumvit prior to getting on TV and writing tripe like this...during your prison work which side of the bars were you on ?

Suggest as you feel necessary- it will only make you look foolish, or I should say, more foolish...I have never had a drink of alcohol in my life- next failed attempt please..

And my prison work?

haha,

You've been watching too much CSI on TV.

There is no such thing.

However, for iphone users (which have GPS), it is possible to use a function called 'find my phone'. You can look it up on the Apple website.

ha ha ha

oh yes there is....call some people with stuff ,easy to obtain,

I think this should be restricted

from your mobile and it will tell you exactly where you are, the street, the location, the country, the length of the call, It will tell all SMS'd, what you have made and received ( unless you are using a phone with build in blocker)

It will get all the number's you have made and received.

My friend has given a normal looking phone to his girl. He does this so her can know all this and it even act's like a bug!

Some serious trust issues there.. but surely a lot cheaper and easier than hiring a private eye.... I must admit I am fascinated by this.

BTW you don't need a "built in blocker" you just need to restore the phone to the factory firmware, any mobile shop could probably do it depending on model etc. That would get rid of the spyware installed to track all this. There is no way to remotely track it, unless you have a court order.

what i saw in europe was something so tiny and innocent looking, made to look a normal part of the phone, I am guess only an expert would be able to tell, i was told it could also be molded into the frame, so very difficult for anyone to tell if existed

nobody needs, nor cares about court orders when dealing with these sorts of people.

They do not apply to do this nor care's about any legal concerns.

Slightly off phone topic, but I also saw a large coin which emits a thing called white noise( it cannot be heard by human's, thus located by human ear,and is great for annoying dog's). Try getting a good nights sleep with that around.

it also makes one irritated and uneasy.

The coin was very large, but easy to place( hide) and the battery lasted apx 3 day's. One company even certain "adjusts" certain type's of I-Pods to be used as bug, and tracker.

So, much out there.

You've been pretty lucky. I wouldn't rely on it continuing.

One of these days you'll fight back (even justifiably) against the wrong person....

Its unfortunate but true, that the bully with back up will generally win over the individual with right on his side. Applies here the same as it does in any other country.

well, actually you are right- so I am doomed, let it be.

and yes, bully,thug's usually have back up , they never face man( or gay!) face to face or, as you brit's say, it would not kick off

One lout set of lout's, a bunch British Royal marine( a discredit to a fine and noble service I have been associated to- and none have ever acted like that,I better not say how some have acted, my God, I do love a fit serviceman, its all that time at sea!)

I had 2, in total 3 against me. I lost some of my teeth. They lost a lot more. They were beating up man simply because he was gay.

I saw the whole thing.So did others, who just walked on by.One thing I like about London is that there are camera's everywhere.The law enforcement officers soon came.

What can you? What would you do?

This man was my age now, a mild mannered gentleman who attended the same club as me.He was active in amnesty and other good thing's. One of life's good meaning gentleman.

We did not know each other well, but had shared a mild discussion and a drink.

He however, unlike me, was obviously gay.

I walk out of the club and see his face being smashed into a wall by young men laughing. Sometime's I am glad I have these condition's.

What is it is that makes some people want to cause this sort of pain?

It saddens me.

...

just do not piss off and old fag and insult his dear old mum, not when i carry what i do... i caused a huge amount of damage to his car, made him lose face, ripped his seat to shreds

...I took quite a few things , left a few costly souvenirs,he does not have a meter anymore,unless he picked it up, to be honest, some things arer a bit of a haze, I was going through a bad day...

...

But from time to time I just snap. Guess its because I am druggie, I actually am bipolar so have severe mood swings, some details i cannot recall, although I will never forget that sort of self vanity tough guy and Look on his face as I exploded in rage.

...I will probabaly be shot one day.

Upset the wrong people here and you pay- I have been hearing this lame argument for years.

it gives one great power .It really does.

Now that you have described your handicapping conditions, I've decided not to respond to your posts in the future...tough though it may be to resist the temptation.

Sooner or later, I think you're in for what may be an irreparably broken life. In the West we are more accepting (or at least excusing) of handicapping conditions. That's not true everywhere, and I doubt that it's very true here. And even if it were, even in the west I have seen handicapped people with conditions such as bipolar go up against someone who isn't very accepting and come out very badly. As you say in your own post, "I will probably be shot one day." I hope that or something similar does not happen to you, but you're clearly out of control (literally) and you need to either get some new and serious help or, in my opinion, return to a country that looks more "excusingly" at your type of situation.

Goodbye Joe.

well, it ain't happened yet. And I am getting on ( but look much younger!)

I may of picked up a few bruise's. A broken tooth. But you should of seen what the others looked like. And where they ended up.

I hate it when the guys are cute though.

I also love the look on thugs face's as if to say " hey, your queer ain't ya, how come your having a go?" Well, even Alexander the great loved the lad's.

To me an irreparably broken life would be if I just sat back and said and did nothing when seeing some things and choose to ignore them, did what most do- just walk on by, it's not our problem, like when I heard a young black lady called " a nigger" by skinhead's.

A man decent looking gentleman minding his own business headbutted by a thug for no reason. A attempted rape etc, etc.

What do you you think these people would say " I am clearly out of control"?

I would not be able to look at my exceedingly hansom face in the mirror if I ignored this type of behavior and put my own interest's first. In fact, I would feel such a shame my life would become irreparably damaged.

As a child I just could not understand why bully like to cause pain and misery to others. Why people would make jokes at me going to my special need's classes.

Even now it saddens me how cruel some people can be.

And I modestly say, many innocent people been assisted by this out of control, gay drugggie i could prove this, but will be accused of boasting.

And I have been shot at. Bombed too. Stabbed. I lived. So did other's, guess why?

What wiston churchill said it true. Its a great feeling to have been shot at and they miss. Nobody wins a fight- one only survives fight.

Thugs, bully's, only fight when they are convinced they will win.

Because I will never stand for this nonsense,be like most, I guess one day I may be shot, stabbed to death, whatever.

And you know what. That's how i would like to go. Give me that any day than doing nothing. So far, I ain't done too badly.

I do not consider myself a handicapped in a bad way that threatens anyone innocent.

I just do not take any nonsense from bully's.

I have never caused any problem's. Only reacted to them. I admit that the taxi incident could be considered going a bit over the top.

So what excusing country should I go to then?

Which country wants people to just walk on by, do nothing, lets thugs, bully's, rapists win?

The only people i poise any form of bother to are those need of behavioral modification aka a good smack in the gob as the brits say.

it actually happened to me today-amazing

waved down a taxi, he took me to part of the way, without adjusting the meter... somewhere there was no taxi and said he wanted 200 baht!!

when i said " no" he ordrered me to get out!

I politley asked if he could drive back, or somewhere I can get a taxi,he swore at me in Thai then challenged me a boxing match fight because I would not leave!

gay I may be, do not fight with any old fag. have bitten noses off people!

fine i said, until i showed him what i carry-that changed his tune and showed his real colors.

Later by sheer coincidence I saw him at a crossroads.

he was giving me all the tough guy signs. I also smashed his meter, saying you do not need this.... yuo do not need not use it... I was so pissed because.I got out, opened his door and slapped him hard. So much for the brave mentality- there were many taxi theres and none helped, nor did any locals( but lots of cops around who seemd to find amusing, although i would not recommend such an action.

This thankfully very rare, but I will bet the think thinks twice about f]doing that again.

I had run out of pain killers which is why i overreacted

Karma lives!

certainly does, well, I would call it that

just do not piss off and old fag and insult his dear old mum, not when i carry what i do... i caused a huge amount of damage to his car, made him lose face, ripped his seat to shreds

i am amazed i did not get nicked

his karma certainly caught up with him alright

i hope he think twice before trying to rip another person off

but to be honest, i have had great drivers, i left all my money in one once, the poor old drove me to pattaya,then retunrned to bankok, found, and came back to give

asked for nothing

you could'nt make it up could you............ oh wait.....................

yes, i could,in fact i think many people lie here i am assure of it, what does that achieve? Liars can cheat many people, but never themselves

They are very sad indeed if lying makes them feel better.

With regard to the taxi driver, i have his phone number, I took quite a few things , left a few costly souvenirs,he does not have a meter anymore,unless he picked it up, to be honest, some things arer a bit of a haze, I was going through a bad day...he made it better...- why need it, when one does not use it?

He will think twice before pulling that one. Karma a wise who has yet to learn the meaning od admit, associate, one gent rightly pointed out- I helped him catch up with his.

This happen in view of some people,all locals who one would of expected to come to his aid if one agreed in this mob rule thing- which does have its points.

Even I think a policemen drove by.They seemed amused.

They knew better. Mob mentality goes out the window when one see's what may actually result.

Would you like it to check with this brave man my claims,who wilted at this old fag.

Who sat when told. Who was silent when told to shut up.Who handed over things when told.

Who challenged me to " boxing" and then when I said something like " it"lets do, seemed to forget it.

He was like a child. I actualy went far too far, he was not expecting this.

But from time to time I just snap. Guess its because I am druggie, I actually am bipolar so have severe mood swings, some details i cannot recall, although I will never forget that sort of self vanity tough guy and Look on his face as I exploded in rage.

He is not very happy at the moment I expect. His car certainly is need of some repair. I took a his number , his plates, check with him on 0804245088. I go that too.

he is apx early 20's , short hair, short.He drove a new model type car. The incident was late afternoon.

I actually would like to hear his version of it.

remind him I am tall dark, western,double his age very hansom, and he backed down like a baby- sat and shut up when told-which at the time was the best thing he could do.I think it was a Wednesday.I sat in the back.He picked me up drove, did not adjust the meter than tried to extort me.

.he will remember. call him and say you are me and you want to pay the damages- that will confirm something I am sure. His phone was white.

I am sure he will remember the incident very well. For the rest of his life.

The damage to his ego, his face,the car, not to judge a polite looking older man as weak victim, and hopefully to reconsider doing this again.This is wrong and bad.He knows it.

I have no need of proving anything,other than the need i have no need to prove anything!

Oh, and it you doubt this, its not the first time, I smashed up a car ,seems to a hobby here....

This time a it was a police car because I thought I would give them a little memory aid due on how to conduct himself correctly to his lack of politeness/professionalism/attitude- and one insulting my mother and using foul language for no reason.One officer however was excellent.They

are not all bad. The rude brave gun totting cop surrounded by all his colleaguesone did the same as the taxi, it was pathetic....he decided not to pursue it.Laughed it off..walked away. Best thing he could of done. You see, cowards know when the game is up, they know they are cowards and when they have met someone who will not be cowered.

I will probabaly be shot one day.

Upset the wrong people here and you pay- I have been hearing this lame argument for years.

Its this fear that prevents this country from progressing.

And its installed since day one .In a way the cop, the driver knew no better, they are the products of this culture.

Would you like to check that claim?

Karma again I guess.

A coward knows he will be broken, I am no tough guy, I'm gay for Gods sake,but when one is in the right- it gives one great power .It really does. And that he is also on camera and in the wrong using foul language, as well as good officer on my side lead to little more karma adjustment!

Colin Piprel has got Thai/falang antics down to a tee!

I've read 'Kicking Dogs' and 'Yawn' both a great read!

Colin Piprel is the most unrecognized writer out there.

Not only is he one of the nicest people one could ever hope to meet, like Mr leather, he is genius, who I hope will give us more of his great work.

? He is one of the nicest people one could ever hope to meet, like Mr Leather

or

he is, like Mr Leather, a genius?

Maybe both?

SC

"the difference between genius and madness is measured by success"

they both are in there own way

we all have it

we just do not use it

here is another one to balance's things out- at airport security a senior thai lady customs took away something she deemed unsafe.She did not even ask what it was!

she said

" this is not allowed" in a very rude way and threw in into the bin.

I jumped straight over the counter and retrieved it. She screamed in Thai! Within seconds I was surrounded by security.

We were taken to a room. Politely I must add.

I guess things were in my favor when my credentials were checked out

The lady was made to apologize to me.

Even the young female staff said they were ashamed of this.

Many of the staff were disgusted by here behavior.

Even the captain later came and said sorry.

My item was put in a bag and handed back as we landed.

This is what I would like to think most people, most Thai's are really like.

In this case the "mob" were moral, fair, polite, and decent.

Glad to see you finally admitted you're a "druggie"...by your own standards.

how can I admit something I have never denied?- I do not even try and hide it. Oh, you poor fellow.

And proud of it !

I am not going to told what I can or cannot do with my own body.Only I will decide that.

Your attempts at point scoring are not doing very well now are they? In fact they are having the reverse effect! This is so typical of your sort. Forget the topic, lose face, try and regain, lose it more...

You think you find something, fail, make yourself look more foolish and add nothing to this topic.

Oh the male ego....the desire to get one up, drags one so further down

hey, are you associating with me again? I thought you said you were not going to do this. Wow.. you have some issue's my friend.

I am glad you are glad.

But now you are not quite as glad as you thought you were. Are you,. take some good advice- put aside your ego, it is only making look foolish. Thats twice now you have messed up. Instead of trying to save face stay on topic. In a debate you would last seconds if your posts are anything to go by.

Now, back on to topic( is that okay?- yes, I think you have been dealt with enough),

I have heard there is a great author called Nial Ferguson who has written a very good book on this.

I will try and get the title and post it here.

two hospital said i needed an op

4/5 vists later to doc don and i am fine and have been for year's

my mate is one of UK top in that area and he says he was amazed at how good his was

He also wrote on of the best insights into how badly bar girls are treated when sent abroad

" my name in Lon" show the tragic things a young lady has to do to survive, yes, it may called fiction, but a a lot of it is based upon fact

Err Have you even read this book? For a start its not a work of fiction. Its a true story about a girl, who's name is 'Lon'. Hence the title. That's a picture of her on the front cover.

Secondly, with the notable exception of 1 English guy who was just a slob, she got treated quite well when she was abroad. A Swiss guy married her but then foolishly thought that since they were married he wouldn't have to pay her for sex anymore. A Swedish guy then took her to Sweden and she seemed to have no complaints about him. Unfortunately, he lost his job and had to moved to Spain but the Swedish state seemed to take very good care of her. Gave her a place to stay, free health care..etc.. It was her decision to leave and return to Thailand.

If there is a real villain in this book, its clearly her Mother. Who shows no compassion or sympathy for her own daughter. Places continuous and unrealistic demands on her. Borrows huge sums and places the burden of debt repayment on her daughter. This book had nothing to do with her 'survival' and everything to do with her Mother's lifestyle expectations.

you have the wrong book

there is no photos on the cover

she was raped by eastern Europeans,she never had a swiss boyfriend.I used to though.Hung like a horse he was!

are you sure its that same one

In the end she steals a lot of cash and returns directly to here

Personally I have no interest at all in Reading 'Private dancer'.

I can form my own opinions of people and am not interested in some sex tourists account of how the girl he was exploiting was not all he EXPECTED her to be!!!

(Why don't these exploited poor people behave in a decent manner whilst we travel thousands of miles to benefit from their situation eh?) Sick attitude!!

That it is recommended as vital reading by some twerp that has been to Thailand for a 3 week holiday and is sitting thousands of miles away whilst I am in Thailand since 1990, is enough to put me off for life.

OK for guys (sex tourists), sitting in another country missing the bar scene I guess.

Myself, I prefer 'The Bible'.

yuo prefer the bible than woman or to read or what? Mind you I do like choirboys. Never really done anything kinky what bible.

I thinking reading the bible is more than enough to put anyone of life- for life.

it actually happened to me today-amazing

waved down a taxi, he took me to part of the way, without adjusting the meter... somewhere there was no taxi and said he wanted 200 baht!!

when i said " no" he ordrered me to get out!

I politley asked if he could drive back, or somewhere I can get a taxi,he swore at me in Thai then challenged me a boxing match fight because I would not leave!

gay I may be, do not fight with any old fag. have bitten noses off people!

fine i said, until i showed him what i carry-that changed his tune and showed his real colors.

Later by sheer coincidence I saw him at a crossroads.

he was giving me all the tough guy signs. I also smashed his meter, saying you do not need this.... yuo do not need not use it... I was so pissed because.I got out, opened his door and slapped him hard. So much for the brave mentality- there were many taxi theres and none helped, nor did any locals( but lots of cops around who seemd to find amusing, although i would not recommend such an action.

This thankfully very rare, but I will bet the think thinks twice about f]doing that again.

I had run out of pain killers which is why i overreacted

Karma lives!

certainly does, well, I would call it that

just do not piss off and old fag and insult his dear old mum, not when i carry what i do... i caused a huge amount of damage to his car, made him lose face, ripped his seat to shreds

i am amazed i did not get nicked

his karma certainly caught up with him alright

i hope he think twice before trying to rip another person off

but to be honest, i have had great drivers, i left all my money in one once, the poor old drove me to pattaya,then retunrned to bankok, found, and came back to give

asked for nothing

What's the Downside?

The "benefits" of meth are more than matched by the drug's ill effects-both immediately and over time. Methamphetamine is an addictive drug that causes physical harm throughout the body. In addition to that physical damage, some people looking for temporary relief from long-term conditions like depression and AIDS-related fatigue may try meth and ignore their prescribed treatments.

After the initial rush, individuals typically experience a state of great agitation that can lead to violent behavior. As the drug leaves their systems, users can experience:

· Irritability/aggressiveness/frustration

· Anxiety

· Depression

· Fatigue

· Paranoia (sometimes extreme, leading to thoughts of homicide or suicide)

· Hallucinations or delusions (e.g., sensation of insects crawling on the skin) Intense cravings for the drug.

The pleasurable effects of the drug vanish even before it disappears in the blood. As a result, meth users often follow a "binge and crash" pattern and may continue taking the drug over several days. They may go without food and sleep and inject the drug every 2 to 3 hours to prolong the high and postpone the inevitable crash.

The crash phase, commonly referred to as "tweaking," often overwhelms the user with feelings of anxiety and emptiness. When tweaking, people can be extremely irritable and paranoid. They may exhibit unpredictable and dangerous behavior when startled, confused, or confronted. To reduce or counter withdrawal, meth users frequently resort to alcohol, heroin, or marijuana.

The length of time before long-term effects become noticeable and the severity of those effects vary from person to person. People who report control of the drug at first may lose that control over time and become addicted. Meth addiction is caused by the changes in the brain produced by the drug. People addicted to meth experience a powerful physical and emotional withdrawal. The user's lifestyle changes to focus on getting and using meth. Even after chronic use has stopped, the meth user may experience depression, anxiety, fatigue, paranoia, aggression, and an intense craving for the drug.

Damaging effects of methamphetamine include physical, emotional, and mental destruction, including:

· Memory problems

· Insomnia

· Decreased appetite and anorexia

· Increased heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature

· Tremors or convulsions

· Breathing problems

· Lung, kidney, and liver damage

· Irreversible damage to blood vessels in the brain, which can produce strokes

· Increased risk of getting or transmitting HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B and C, and other diseases for users who inject meth and share needles

Meth's effect on the brain and the brain's ability to recover are not entirely clear. However, injury to brain cells can be seen months after a person quits using meth. This damage affects the supply of chemicals important to physical and mental well-being. Whether addicted or not, meth users risk brain damage that may be permanent.

Research is continuing, but studies also have connected prolonged use of meth with symptoms similar to those experienced by people with Parkinson's disease. Another outcome may be brain damage that appears similar to that caused by Alzheimer's disease, stroke, and epilepsy.

my friend say this is by and large completely wrong when refering to the Japanese version- so please be more specific when you say meth

you see, what you say falls flat on its face by the very fact that these people do not abuse it, know when to stop( ice is not addictive)

call something what it is at least

none of them say they have experienced what you describe.These are professional people.

BjoE, can you explain the relevance to what you have written in relation to what has been posted?

to explain that there are many types of meth and the one often called here "ice" aka shabu is not really it, and not really dangerous when done correctly

things should be called what they are

instead of all this misinformation about drugs, the governments should have program which people who take, and always will can go to

Dosnt have to be hard drugs that destroy, take lives. Had a brotherinlaw who hung himself while full of canabas and another cousin who killed himself sniffing petrol.

All drugs are bad.

Dump the lady before you get implicated or how does time in the BKK Hilton sound

booze fags too? why is a human need them? by the way medicine are drugs- are they bad too?

i would say the mindbogglingly boring 9-5pm is much worse and apply to 90% of the us, hence we seek release

nice to see some compassion

do we not all have some problems at time?

If you use it once in while not much harm is done but ice is so powerful that a lot of people can't control their use and become addicted.

Once addicted it's probably the worst drug to be addicted to in the way it fvk's up your brain and deteriorates your body.

ice is non addictive, fact
