The good old times. Progress?

And I though we are supposed to believe all women all the time. 😉

Yes, I could do that. But I am pretty sure some of those people on that list would want to argue with me about why they are on that list.

He told us he only wants to play with his grandchildren. Now he can do this all the time - and not much else. Great!

Obviously...

I know this is not the main part of this story, but if you all don't mind, lets concentrate on that part for a moment. If she can't prove that he drugged her, will he likely win such a lawsuit? It seems it is very easy for any woman to destroy the reputation of a guy. What are the option for the accused to save his reputation and business? Can he demand a compensation from her if his business suffers or is destroyed?

Sometimes mf gf takes pills against menstruation pain. And then she falls asleep. I think the main problem with this girl, and probably many others in that age group, is that they don't think clearly, and they don't think what could happen. I wouldn't accept pills, probably without name and without box, from someone who tells me to just take some pills and all will be fine. For a girl, half naked, together with a guy, this is just a very stupid idea (independent of what kind of pills he gave her in this case).

Likely many of us met each other somewhere without knowing that we all post in this forum.

Maybe such test would show other drugs as well ...

There is no logic. Don't even try to understand what doesn't exist.

How do you know she told the truth? He is the one who now has to fight against accusations which might be true, or maybe they are not true. She could have reported what he allegedly did to the police, and they could investigate it. And if he is found guilty then she can tell that to the public.

Did he drug her? It seems she fell asleep. Lots of people do that without drugs. The nipple things: I don't have personal experience with them, but I guess that these things can move and maybe fall off if they rub against a bed or whatever she was sleeping on. Did he play with her nipples? She said, he said. Maybe you are right, and all that happened. But I don't like this concept to believe everything any female says. Many of them say a lot to getr attention and the "he raped me" is high on that attention seeking list. For women it's easy to walk away from that. Many men's lives were ruined by (wrong) accusations. And last but not least: A teenage girl takes off her clothes and gets tattooed by someone who she doesn't trust (or has no reason to trust). She could have insisted that her boyfriend or a girlfriend were present at all times. She didn't. I hope she will learn from that.

He plays games and uses his wealth and power. And his enemies play games and use their power. Thaksin should have realized that he can't buy everybody and there are lots of people who don't want to let him get away with his attitude. I think many of us are aware that in Thailand you might get away with lots of illegal or annoying activities. Until someone powerful decides to show you that you don't get away with everything.

How do you know all this? Because she was asleep, and she thinks that's what happened or at least she tells that story? Of course maybe that is what happens. But maybe not. There is no way to tell from the few details in the article.

In part you are right. I am sure there are enough Thais who just know they are above up on the social ladder. But it seems there are also enough Thais, obviously from the lower classes, who think they are below us.

A teenage girl with such a tattoo. What a sad world.

I don't think this is especially a Thai thing. In my condominium building are many nationalities from all over the world. Some say hello, some not, some like to chat, some pretend another person doesn't exist. And it seems all this happens with any nationality. I don't think about if anybody wants to say hello or not. Some people like to talk and make new contacts and maybe new friends. Some don't. Ok, I can live with that.

I would love to read a series of articles from journalists who speak with Thai prisoners or their families. People who are in jail for relative minor crimes, old and sick, and how they are treated.

- Slow charging, it will never go as fast as putting gasoline in the tank - How long will it take and how much effort and money to have an electrical grid which can supply enough electricity to charge all those vehicles (fast) at the same time? - The batteries are big expensive sensitive parts. One rock on the street and it might be damaged and has to be replaced. That is very expensive. And it can burn, like hell, and the fire can't be doused. - And will anybody use a 10 or 20 year old electric car? It will cost more to buy a new battery than a new car. And the batteries won't last forever. I am sure there are many more reasons.

IMHO it is obvious that EV are not suitable for a large-scale solution. It works with some of them on the streets, but it wouldn't work if the streets would be full of EV. I guess hydrogen is a possibility. Let's see.

I think with 16 he is old enough to know that he might lose and that it likely will hurt. That's life. I guess in an environment like that there are experienced people who recognize when something would go wrong. And I presume they will stop it if it get's too bad. In the hindsight I would have loved to do something like that when I was young. Maybe ask his trainers or others what to expect. I am sure you are not the first parent with concerns.

I wouldn't mind meeting some members. But I certainly don't want to meet some others which are on my ignore list. I don't have any good experience with "big" groups of people. Like here in the forum, some would want to shine and control what is happening. The nice thing about this and other forums is that we can easily select what we want to see, and which comments we want to read. In real life it is not so easy to press that ignore button. 😉

The way Viagra is used now was an accident. It was originally planned as heart medicine. Keeping that in mind I think everybody should think twice before using it. As far as I know officially people need a prescription to get it at all. What would you do if you would get 10 comments, and everybody would write something like: Take as much as you want, no problem. But later you find out 10 of 10 comments were wrong... For that reason, and make sure you survive another day, I still suggest asking a professional.

Did you hear about the concept of facts? You should check it out. It's helpful - not only in politics.

Obviously you are right. But interestingly I hear/read this the first time. It seems nobody is surprised that the sick man was not transported with an ambulance to private hospital.
