Yeah, bless her. She's had a tough time of it lately.

I agree if it's filth but people's borderlines vary when it comes to judging that. Kids love Taylor Swift, Arianne Grande, Troye Sivan etc and millions go to their concerts with half-naked dancers and lots of suggestive behavior and pelvic thrusting. I do take your point that in this case it was unexpected though. I would never censor this but would hope if parents thought that this was too explicit on t.v. they would explain to their kids what it was. There must be plenty of shows where something comes on that might be a little too near the mark and they have to do that. As for the moralisers on here, they've got an off switch. And thank you for your contention that anyone can avoid Pride. Many on here can't seem to, and moan about it being shoved down their throats. Nice to talk to someone that has differing views but tries to explain rather than attack. 🙂

Same. And a nice smile from my injector. 🙂

Actually the refrain is 'we contributed towards a pension'. State Pension is based on the amount of contributions you've paid. The more you've paid in, up to a maximum of 35 years, the more you get as your entitlement. Semantics maybe but it's an important distinction that it's based on the amount you've contributed rather than the amount they'd like to pay you, like a salary.

As I said.

It's not just an LGBT+ thing and it's not just art. The annual naked bike rides in public? The Japanese penis festivals? Nudist beaches? Endless naked figures in public art museums? Virtually naked men and women at Brazilian festivals. 90% straight and showing a lot more than this. You see more on a public beach. If some people weren't so determined to be offended by it, it would pass without much notice. It's something that should raise an eyebrow at most but some think it's the fall of the West. The whole thing is being misrepresented and overplayed. 😀

I've not recovered from my first trip to Pattaya, seeing an old farang on a Harley Davidson with a young Thai girl on the back. 😮

Ah, I wondered how long it would take you out yourself. LGBT+ are fascists, pedophiles and perverts eh? Sad, tired old perjoratives and insults. Shame your traditional morals don't include basic decency.

And so they should be able to unless they commited a crime. As far as I'm aware long beards, pride flags and English flags are perfectly legal.

I notice that some of the elderly people here have those three-wheeled electric scooters. Much safer if you stay off the main road and just poodle around the village. I might treat myself. RIP Wisut.

Don't forget the BNP. You don't join a white-supremacist party without being a white-supremacist.

Fair point. Just loose wording. He has of course been a member of racist parties in the past, but I accept that he's had an epiphany and found a new target.

Popes are stll calling gay people f****ts

Ali-Al- Shakati means "my apartment" in Arabic. 🙂

I wasn't, I was stating a fact and a matter of public record. But it's a moot point now you mention it.

Yeah, you only have to look at his long criminal record to see how much he's done for our country. 🙂

He did. Lives in Spain in a luxury villa. Just comes over to stir up trouble.

Romania with Andy?

Mocking the death of D-Day soldiers. How tasteful. They fought for freedom not censorship.

Richard, if you want a competitive discussion you need to get your facts straight. You call it perjoratively a "trans supper". It wasn't a trans re-enactment of The Last Supper. "The moral panic over a scene of drag queens feasting at the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics set off a firestorm of outrage from religious conservatives and politicians who believed the scene was a mockery of the Last Supper. Except it wasn’t about the Last Supper at all. The so-called re-enactment was a scene of a bacchanal, a feast to the Greek god Dionysus. After all, the Olympics originated in ancient Greece, and the Greek gods were a part of the culture of that time. French director Thomas Jolly, who oversaw the opening ceremony show, explained that the scene was Dionysus arriving on a table and that it was meant to be representative of the gods of Olympus celebrating the Olympic Games." https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/olympics-2024-apology-christians-last-supper-elon-musk-mike-johnson-rcna164008 It's important to acknowledge this first. Scenes of bacchanalia are shown in some very famous paintings in prominent galleries around the world and are not censored. What exactly were you offended by and what legitimates your belief that this performance should be censored? I don't wish to speak for Jingthing but I think that your allusion to trans performances being the problem is what he was criticizing. And I'm a bit disarmed when you talk about "normal people" and LGBT+ people in the same breath. It often leads to inevitable prejudicies. Shades of Peterson and his "freaks and queers."

And a mosque can be anywhere that offers daily prayer. It doesn't have to be a large building necessarily.

Disobeying court orders and fleeing justice are serious crimes, for whatever reason. He will have been well aware of this. No doubt he will plead persecution and apply for asylum on foreign shores. How ironic,

Just a reminder that Robinson was arrested for breaking the law, not because the establishment has got it in for him. Do they think he's a threat? Yes, because he's stirring up racial hatred under the guise of patriotism and instilling fear. He has every right to an opinion but when you deliberately flout the law you pay the consequences. And true to form he's trying to avoid justice.

I just had an ad on my phone that said it's perfectly o.k. to have sex at 82. That's great 'cos I live at number 74, so it's not a long way to go home.
