Is PTSD real or only weak people?
giddyup replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I worked for the DVA for many years. A lot of the PTSD claims were just scams to get TPI pensions so they could retire comfortably. When Vietnam vets reached retirement there was an avalanche of claims. -

It's a fact that the younger generation has produced a lot of snowflakes. -

Funny how a lot of them developed PTSD just after retirement. Gave them a nice little retirement package from DVA. -
White people have been enslaved by other cultures as well. Hundreds of thousands of Europeans were captured by Barbary pirates and sold as slaves in North Africa and the Ottoman Empire between the 16th and 19th centuries. I want reparation!

How far back you want to go, Romans enslaving Brits? History is full of barbarism and enslavement. Move on.

Three Thai relatives have all been scammed out of 50,000 baht each by a Thai "employment company" promising fruit picking jobs in Australia. The jobs never materialised and the money disappeared.

Definition of scam: a dishonest scheme; a fraud. -

Somebody in Immigration is getting rich off these scams. -
Been here 13 years, it's home.

Or, alternatively, they don't exist. -

Everybody has a cellphone, but nobody can get a decent picture, always blurred or out of focus. Why? -
Ridiculous to compare Bieber and Springsteen. Springsteen has written so many classic songs, I couldn't name one song from Bieber. Bowie wrote Major Tom, he was never an astronaut either.

Just had another look. I think that Vivo has to be a fake at that price.

I need a small audiobook player but all the MP3 players seem to have very small screens, so I'm wondering if something like a Vivo Y53 would do the job. They are available on Lazada at present for around 1100 baht. At that price they seem better value than an MP3 player with phone, camera and internet capabilities.

Different countries have different ages of consent, ie younger. Does this mean they mature earlier?
-
Not if the legal age is 15.
-
Wrong. What is the legal age of consent in Thailand? In Thailand, the age of consent for sexual acts is 15 years old (3). Therefore, it means that if one is to have sex with anyone who is under the age of 15 will be punished by law, no matter if the underaged party consent to the sexual act or not.

How is 17 "untouchable"?
-
It seems only falangs who keep hammering this point. Thais don't care.
-
What is "outlawed" and what is common and acceptable practice are two different things.
-
Don't try and impose your morals onto another culture.
-
You don't seem to get it. It's a common occurrence in Thailand and you can probably count on one hand anyone doing time for it.
-
Every society has their own ideas about what the legal age should be. Like smoking dope. Once it could have got you locked up for 20 years, now it's just a misdemeanor. Who know what the age of consent will be in 20 years time?

Human Nature?

There's a Youtube tutorial on how to install them.
