Do people spit on their leftovers?

Not sure what disease you think someone can get from eating leftovers.

80% Chinese what?

Not much you can do with a cancelled flight. AirAsia did the same thing to me when I was on holiday in Siem Reap.

Build to 12m with a flat roof and a stair access. Then at least you will keep the view from the roof patio.

I'm not 'hansum', and even as a youngster was overweight, dull and nerdy. 20% of the men get 80% of the women, and I ain't in that 20%. (I actually figure it's more like 5% get 95%) You may be lucky enough to be in the minority desired by women, I never was.

Sure it was bad luck for the blacks that were taken as slaves, but probably better than being eaten by the tribes that enslaved them. But it was absolutely fabulous for their descendants that are free to participate as citizens in the greatest country in the world (I'm guessing none of them would prefer to live in Ghana, etc).

I'd add to that, ban all private vehicles (except bicycles), require all workers to live within 10Km of their place of work, and allow households to only have a maximum of 1 spare bedroom.

Gated moobaan is the way to go, the police need permission to enter, and my wife runs the moobaan security. Back to the OP, Says 'foreigners' which usually means non-Thai Asians.

Fair enough!

Same, I paid for the house, food and all our family living expenses, my wife's pay, from being a teacher, was spent on herself and the kids. I'm now living that same life with a much younger Thai woman.

My experiences match yours. I can only think the guys that claim different are either (1) lying or (2) never had much sex with women. Usually (2) is the correct answer. I was married 1979-2009 so can't really comment on dating in that period. Obviously if you were a drug dealer, gang member or murderer you could get as much as you wanted for free.

Not really strange, anything less than 100 years old was never considered 'history' in academia.

I doubt you ever had much sex at any age (with another person in the room).

Thinking back to my school days, we didn't learn any history more modern than the Battle of Agincourt, or anything older than the Battle of Hastings (circa 1066-1450). Even though our history teacher was a guy that lost an arm in WW2.

Feel free, You would never find me posting in favour of anyone that attended private school taking public office. Not even (Lord) Tony Benn or Jeremy Corbyn.

I'll give you a hint, you should be arguing with Chomper on this point.

Who do you think the 'lowest common denominator' is? If it were up to me no wealthy people (or people with wealthy families) should be allowed to run for public office. Even going to a private school should exclude a candidate from running for office. They only represent themselves and live entirely separate lives to the 'common people'.

No, that would be the government that bans relatively harmless recreational drugs. Even the NZ PM snorts cocaine.

My former employers back in the UK used to provide cocaine at office parties. They had some really good themed parties, loads of free food and drinks, bands, dancers, fire eaters.

That's how politicians win elections. If only we could prevent the common man voting the world would be a perfect place.

Sugar is the preservative in jam. If no sugar, you can be assured something more dangerous is used.

No stock in Chiang Mai as usual.

Considering 13% of the US population is black and 19% is Latino (27% Latino in Florida). Why must everything be about black people, do Hispanics have no worth? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Florida "According to the 2020 census, the racial distributions are as follows; 51.5% Non-Hispanic White, 26.6% of the population are Hispanics or Latino (of any race), 14.5% African American, 4% Native American, and 2.3% Asian, Oriental and other."

Not a good idea as discussion is treated by Thais as aggression. Best to say nothing but act to reduce the waste unilaterally.
