He looks ghastly.
Maybe he really is sick.
If so, keep him in the hospital - for a long, long time.

It's just a matter of semantics since both sides are guilty of deliberately killing non-combatants in this conflict.
The massive pro-Palestinian demonstrations worldwide show clearly who the overwhelming majority of people consider to be the real terrorists.
Agreed.
The aphorism "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter" was coined in 1976 to describe Nelson Mandela - among many others - during their fight against Apartheid South Africa.
It applies equally well today when used to define those fighting Apartheid Israel in the Middle East and elsewhere.
Regime change is the only hope for that benighted country. The alternative will surely be to provoke their goofy ally the USA into igniting a regional conflagration with worldwide repercussions.
Establishing an Israeli government that would live within their internationally recognized 1967 borders and stop killing and bombing their neighbours to steal yet more land is a reasonable objective to fight for that shouldn't be equated with terrorism.
That fond hope vanished with the Gaza Massacre that is creating an unprecedented amount of global hostility.
It brings to mind Meyer Lansky's famous lament... "When you're a Jew the whole world is against you."
Two different situations to be sure, but the same knee-jerk reaction to both.

Most people we know - both Thai and farang - don't want a puritan culture in Chiang Mai, but they don't want a Sodom and Gomorrah either.
Let the party animals go to Sleaze-by-the-Sea and other hot-spots to blow off steam.
Leave Chiang Mai alone.

14 hours ago, Doctor Tom said:It's not location that's the issue, it's how you are going about finding a relationship that is potentially right for you. Go on-line. It may take you a while to find what you are looking for, but online is the way to try to find that person. Of course, even online, you need to be selective. Finally, don't dismiss all bar girls as unworthy of consideration, many are trustworthy girls', just trying to survive and improve their lot in a tough World. They may not represent what you are wanting for a long term relationship, but even that has proved happy and successful for many a wandering expat.
Hogwash.
Any girl who has been part of the bar/prostitution scene in Thailand is seriously damaged goods... avoid them like the plague for long-term relationships.
My Bonnie was a waitress in a small town in Texas when we first met and we've had a bang-up time together since then.

Be careful what you teach the locals.
"Reverse-Assimilation" could go horribly wrong and they might start encroaching on your land.
You could end up living in a tent as a refugee on your own property.
AnythIng is possible here... TIT.

That's what you should do, just pay and leave.
Forget about anything positive coming from a closer relationship.
Or maybe just stay home and jackoff.⁰

My doctor in the UK had put me on Zopiclone (sleeping tablets), but I could only have them for 3 months in case I became addicted to them. On the few occasions in my life that I did try weed, I noticed it's narcotic effect, made me very sleepy.
You might try Melatonin - If you haven't already.
It works well for us with no side effects or hangover the next day.
Zero buzz, but a a good nights sleep.

Then the military will come in and take control and another coup will happen. I hope it doesn’t go this far, but we all know Thai history and what happens in these situations.
That's a credible scenario.
Tell us again how many military coups there have been since 1932.
A sleazy civilian kleptocracy overthrown by the RTA followed by the slow and agonizing return to "democracy" is the way this farce usually plays out.

This is just the sort of event that is needed to regain some of the gravitas he lost doing that pratfall at the Air Force Academy.
Just keep him seated behind his desk in the Oval Office with his busts of César Chávez and Rosa Parks placed close behind him for support in case he does try to stand on his own feet.
When will this farce come to an end?

Periodic sweeps in nightlife areas suggest that it already is... de facto, at least.

I feel sorry for the Thai Driver you know !!! Like they all do not just walk out their doors drunk, and saying "Lets go out and get a Forigner" ... Like the rest of us !!! ... They walk out the door and say "Phewwww Let's Get Home" !!!
... And then they come around a corner ? ... Or out of the general Gloom of 3 am on the Morning ! ... And there is a Foreigner !!! (From any where) ... With no helmut, drunk and on his Phone to his girl friend, ... Parked or just going too slowly, in the wrong part of the Road !! !!!!! In front if him ! !!
And I just say to the people who are trying to get ? Over 20% of their GDP out of Tourism !!!! ... Well THIS ! IS What IS going to happen !!! ... If you keep on doing this !
And it would happen Any where.
There was a French Woman on Holidays in Australia near my home once who just drove out of the Camping ground, ... turned Right I think and went straight on to the wrong side of the road ! ... Like she would in France ! ... And then took off at speed !!! ... And ran straight in to the front of a local woman who was just taking her Daughter to School ! ... ( I think ) And the local woman at least? I think ? Was just killed Out right on the spot.
( Though this was a pretty long tome ago now )
But Put Tourists on and in Motor Viechrls ! ... In Strange places ! ... Like particularly in Thailand !!! ... And then you ARE !!! Going to have quite a bit of trouble like this !!! I think ? For sure.
That French woman in Oz did what is now described as an "Anne Sacoolas".

As kids growing up in semi-rural New York State we drove whatever we could in fields and back roads - anywhere but near towns where we might encounter cops.
It seems to be the same with young people here too.

I know how unlikely this is, but surely Customs' job is at the border and anything that passes their eagle eyes is their loss. Did they racially profile him?
They probably did.
Is Operation Black Eagle still going on?

Where to buy them in or near Chiang Mai?
Kham Tieng is what came to mind at first, but no luck there.
Cement replicas OK if the design is right.
Any information would be appreciated.

That's certainly true of our experience with them.
They last for years of daily use and the reset buttons are always on the outside.
