Motive?

Note to self, don't write a review.

I wouldn't say that, a long time ago I witnessed a pretty lady boy making out with a Dutchman, after a bit of groping the Dutchman recoiled in horror and pushed him away, Lady boy;- ''Yes OK I am a man like you but........ Dutchman;- ''No! you are not a man like me, frick off''

I object to the word woman as if it is a reality, wishful thinking doesn't transform reality, when I drive my Honda I wish it was a Porsche but at the end of the day it's still a Honda.

Yes, woke modern nonsense although when the meat and veg are gone one can't really use the word 'boy', woman impersonator might be better.

Did any luggage go missing? otherwise not a problem.

She seems to be bra-less and ready for some interesting philosophical conversation.

Why indeed, I fear we shall never know ????

No, it seems to have reverted back to its origins in non tourist areas. In my village family groups including those who had traveled back home from Bangkok, gathered outside their houses feasting and the young revered the old by pouring water over their hands. Since the death of my wife's father I am now the oldest and so had to endure about 20 members of the wife's family sitting me on a raised chair and after standing in line they poured water into my cupped hands while reciting Buddhist prayers and since this was an honour I couldn't be so churlish and refuse to go to the temple for the Buddhist service, I would have preferred some water fights, in fact the next day I drove to the market town gleefully expecting mayhem but it was just a normal day.

In my village it's banned and several others as well, even in the market town 17 km away there was nothing going on.

It's just a phase he's going through. Seriously though, it must be devastating if your own flesh and blood does this to you, especially for an Indian who generally have strong family ties. His son obviously isn't a Mensa candidate as the police obviously know who he is unless patricide was intended.

Sad. Where was the mother, divorced isn't dead. The poor little kid has had life's troubles thrust on him at an early stage, an intelligent, independent soul by all accounts.

Complaining about corrupt politicians anywhere in the world is like complaining about birds flying or that rain is wet. The special hallmark of Thai corruption however is that it is a pursuit without shame and almost no consequences. Mark Twain said that mankind is the only animal that blushes....or needs to, the Thais have set themselves in their own ball park on that one, they see no need to.

Attempted murder was too complicated.

Come election time they will all be singing 'I vow to thee my country...........'

Pedantic, as someone once said, 'accuracy is the priority of the firing squad', Sheldon could kill any remark made in jest by disassembling its entirety for the sake of an accurate representation of its component parts. Woof999 was of course correct in his appraisal of my jocular remarks on the health of the driver and the resultant consequences should he have really suffered a seizure ????

You sound like Sheldon from 'The Big Bang Theory'

Depends on whether he needs any help or not

A seizure, I like it, it's better than the failed brakes excuse and nobody can prove him wrong.

A friend of mine would also like to know some details of how this is done.

$52 million, obviously a man with ambition but he couldn't find a country that doesn't have an extradition treaty with the USA? A serious lack of planing. The FBI found him, not the the RTP, they were just the collectors.

She definitely deserves a helmet.

It is understandable, in the countryside where I live nobody is alone because the village takes care of its own but in the cities life is different. The young are working and raising their own families trying to make ends meet, looking after an elderly relative, usually 100+ Km away just isn't possible.

I can agree with that.......obviously it's all about experience but on the other hand the experience pales after an hour and after a day it's as if it never happened, joy from outside of the true self 'atman' (not the 'me') needs constant replenishment, atman is the pure joy of being, synonymous with Brahman, when not smothered by the 'me' and its constant need for labels of identification and its search for meaning in pleasure. Even in Christianity (and all major religions) there are hints of this, in the bible when God/Brahman/consciousness was asked for his name the answer, "I am that I am" was given, nothing else was needed, no labels, no reasons, atman is attributeless, self- illuminating, unrelated, omnipresent but it apparently needs the illusion of Maya to be aware of itself. Death of the 'me' is release and freedom for the atman (poorly translated as the soul, atman is Brahman/God/consciousness, there is only one absolute.

Although counter intuitive the point was, there is no reality to existence, everything is a manifestation, nothing exists in and of itself. The Rishi sages whose meditative experiences 4,000 years ago lay the foundations of Hinduism said that only Brahman (we would say consciousness) is real, all else is Maya, an illusory 'reality'. Quantum theory (which nobody really understands as it too is counter intuitive) says all 'particles' (which are really vibrations) only come into apparent existence when the particle wave function collapses due to observation, until then it is only a probability and is spread out in the whole universe. Experiments in quantum mechanics have also shown that the future affects the past which lends credence to spiritual thinking that neither are 'real' and only the present moment 'exists' (although not really). It's a paradox of understanding of that which isn't but is never the less experiential.
