  1. There are way too many people in the world putting a huge strain on services and natural resources. However we are continually being told to increase the birth rate in order to produce enough young people who can be taxed to provide funds for the care of the increasing numbers of elderly people. In other words we are either not willing, or not able, to come up with a solution to this problem other than to encourage world population to be forever increasing even though that will eventually lead to chaos.
  2. A mature 26 year old would tell family and friends he intended to disappear for a while, thereby not causing concerns, and not wasting police/rescuers time. This 26 year old has a lot of growing up to do.
  3. '..an overwhelmingly pro-Chinese national sentiment in Thailand..' ? Not in my experience.
  4. ...which holds Thailand back in many ways.
  5. You have managed to totally distort the issue. It was not the schools circulating porn, it was the pupils. Next time engage brain before opening mouth.
  6. I drank far more in my home country, the UK, than I have ever done in Thailand.
  7. Thailand suffers from an elite who couldn't care less about how it's market manipulations affects poorer Thais, and a historical subservience to China which was only briefly interrupted from the 1950s through to the 1980s during which there were fears of a CPC inspired communist takeover.
  8. Good question. When I was a kid at school in the late 1940s/early 1950s black and white, postcard size porn pics imported from France were widely circulated. The idea that youngsters have only recently become exposed to porn is nonsense.
  9. Britain is sliding further and further into becoming an islamic state under sharia law.
  10. 2020, a very strange election to put it mildly.
  11. Way too early to judge. Come back in 2 years time.
  12. 62.9 million people voted for Trump in 2016, 74.2 million in 2020, and 77.3 million in 2024. I doubt that they are all stupid. A somewhat presumptuous statement on your part.
  13. A pathetically soft penalty. The scumbag who inflicted such vicious cruelty on a helpless little animal should have received a jail sentence.
  14. A long overdue ruling. About time the Dems and their sloppy judicial acolytes were told to obey the rules.
  15. I doubt that Labour will ever be forgiven for this. They have stopped a full and proper investigation of the organized gang rape of young white girls by Pakistani men, by so doing hoping instead to attract grubby Muslim votes. Utterly disgusting and utterly shameful.
  16. Best you stay in Oz by the sound of. it. For myself, living and working in many countries, and retired in Thailand since 1993, every day has a routine involving chores, exercise, occasional shopping, and, at 83 years of age, periods of relaxation late morning and early evening. Never bored.
  17. He should get jail time and a fine, and a court order forbidding this specimen of Thai manhood to ever go near another animal for the rest of his life. It'll never happen, if course. This is Buddhist Thailand where the official line is all Thai people are kind to animals.....
  18. At this rate it won't be long before moral guardian units are out and about promoting virtue and punishing indecency in the land of smiles.
  19. Nonsense. Cannabis, whatever it's strength, induces calm, not aggression. The story of the russian roulette incident has yet to be clarified however the use of nitrous-oxide, and a Lithuanian's dubious account of the event, are under investigation.
  20. Another annoying one is the pronunciation of the word 'hospital', currently 'hospitul'.
  21. The builder who constructed our house and outbuildings at our place in Rayong had great skills and knowledge. He and his team were hardworking, and they finished the project on time and to perfection. Could not have been bettered by anyone anywhere else in the world.
