  1. If it was not a response to what I had commented then why use the term “zealot” without knowing anything about who or what I am. I know absolutely nothing about you nor do I ever want to know. I have never used the term “zealot” or “denier” in regards toanything you have commented on.
  2. Yes you stated it in your response to what I had commented? If you did not direct it at me then you should have prefaced it.
  3. Millions? Possibly? Discussion? Yes. More and more people, companies and governments are discussing the negative effects of Climate Change. But what has actually been done? Every solution to combat climate change has its pluses and minuses. No one solution is perfect. The majority of the informed world realizes our lives will have to change to reduce the negative effects of climate change. Even a “zealot” like myself realizes this. But I believe she has been given too much credit “for moving the needle”. Also, a screaming teenager is never a good look. But that is now in the past because Ms. Thurngberg is now 20 years old. She is now fair game for criticism because she is now an adult. “If you can’t stand the heat then stay out of the kitchen”. This was said by Franklin Delano Rossevelt. I am not a climate change denier(as erroneously stated by someone else) but change of this magnitude cannot be done overnight. At this point in the world burning fossil fuels is the only way to fly 300 people over the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean in a matter of hours. Also, as much as Electric Vehicles are great they are not readily viable to all. I was offered a chance to rent a Tesla for my next trip to Los Angeles by Hertz at the same rate as a gasoline powered mid size car but I declined. Mainly because of the lack of charging stations in the area where I will be. Also, i have a few road trips planned in California and Arizona and the last thing I want to do is :run out of juice” on Interstate 10 between Palm Springs and Arizona because this part of the world is a “large and vast desert”. I might rent an EV possibly in 5 or 10 years from now but not today or tomorrow.
  4. How long were actually in the hospital? Also, how much actual time did the doctor spend with you? Also, did you bill actually break down the specific costs? I would be curious to find out the actual doctor fee was? Last year I had a cyst removed from my lower back and the total cost over 11,000 Baht at Chiang Mai Ram. This even includes the “surgeon”fee. Apparently at Ram only a “surgeon” can remove a cyst.
  5. Really: “You can't reason with a religious or political zealot. Climate change deniers walk among us.” So this is not your comment?
  6. Then don’t call me a zealot. Unless you can prove it.
  7. I thought it was about Greta Thurnberg being arrested at protest in Germany.
  8. You did not answer the question? You stated you know my thoughts.
  9. Can this be quantified? So she change the minds of an entire generation all over the world? Even in China?
  10. Really, then who did I vote for in the last POTUS election? Do I own a Red Hat? Do I belong to the NRA? Do I deny that CO emissions negative impact global climate? A small sample of comments does not define a person.
  11. So now you are equivocating? So no accomplishments or being famous for being famous is “bashing”? Great then in your paradigm I am a Greta Thurnberg “brasher”. Not disagreeing with you because this is your opinion.
  12. I did the SIN border bounce last month. I did the CNX-SIN and back with two night in SIN. No problems getting into SIN and no problems getting back into CNX. In my case I just had to show a new health insurance policy.
  13. Well said. Doesn’t take much to name call anyone who disagrees with your paradigm. This happens too often.
  14. Name one quantifiable thing she has done to reduce the effects of climate change? Do not say she has the raised the awareness of the effects of climate change because many have done this for a long time.
  15. So you know me? You know my beliefs? You must be all knowing. I never said anything about Climate Change or Climate Change Deniers. Also, you know for a fact that I am a “:religious zealot”? Wow, You are impressive. I comment without the need to call people names.
  16. Also, she is cuter than Al Gore or John Kerry(AKA-The Climate Czar? Allegedly.). I thought she would be invited to Davis? Of course on a private jet and a luxury hotel paid by someone else. But I guess not.
  17. It was a staged event. She was smiling while the Polizei was carrying her to the bus. They then stopped to pose for the cameras and she then did a thumbs up while in the bus. She looks more and more like someone who is interested in the “Kardashian” syndrome: Being famous for being famous without any accomplishment(s).
  18. “Illegal” prostitute. Then legal prostitutes are are approved? Never attempt to understand the why of LOS. Just accept it and carry on. In the last 7 years my ability to think analytically and logically has been diminished. This is because I have been living in CNX almost on a full time basis.
  19. Switzerland has a program that is excellent. It is completely legal and one's choice is documented on video. A nurse oversees the process. I saw a documentary on this several years ago and as i recall the program is called "Dignitas". An American with ALS went to Switzerland and ended his life there. It was as the name implies done with dignity. If I was in a similar position then I would want the same.
  20. Several years ago I saw this transpire at CNX immigration: 1. Family of four were renting a house but the landlord was out of the country. 2. The family wanted to extend their visas. 3. A TM-30 had not been filed. 4. The family could not extend their visas until the TM-30 was filed. 5. The landlord would not respond when the renters tried to contact him. The solution was for the the family to pay a 6400 Baht fine and get the the extension. Why 6400 Baht? 1600 per passport holder X 4 = 6400. Welcome to LOS, where someone must pay the fine.
  21. I thought about it but just in case I might actually need the coverage I stayed with Pacific Cross. Of course there is no guarantee any insurance company will actually pay on a claim. This is the nature of insurance.
  22. Never say Never.
  23. For now no insurance for Non O. TIT.
  24. True but the OA still has one advantage: No need to put a lot of money into a Thai Bank Account. Also, getting almost two years out it is attractive. If the OA Visa Health Insurance creeps to 100K then my days in the LOS will be over.
