As long as there are no weapons involved, I don't see a problem.

You mean like, Dr. Jordan Peterson, Elon Musk, Robert Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, Ben Shapiro, and Vivek Ramaswamy?

Apparently, you’ve never dealt with the Kamala supporters who run San Francisco, who have no moral scruples about trampling on the Constitutional rights of elderly, retired, and disabled taxi medallion holders.

You'd be doing the very same thing if you drove a taxi for a while.

Thai women get an A+ from me. They are incredibly clean, polite, respectful, loyal, and responsible. They are also free of the hostility towards males so common in American females.

Well, then, it's not free, is it?

No taxes in Australia?

Switzerland has relatively lax gun laws compared to many other countries, which most likely contributed to the Swiss guy's misunderstanding about carrying a handgun on a plane in Thailand. When I traveled with firearms back in the 1970s they had to be locked in a case and checked through to my final destination.

You're right, it is everywhere. The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency has been violating the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights of the elderly, retired, and disabled taxi-medallion holders with impunity and not one official in that city has tried to stop it.

I've read that the cost of Rabies shots for humans is quite expensive in the States, However, I had the 3-shot series here in Thailand back in 2019 for well under 300 baht. I had the shots as a preventative procedure due to the fact that I was spending a lot of time around the stray dogs on the beach and beach road. Regarding Soi Dogs, I have never had a problem with them in my area. However, there is one dog on the beach who will always block me from walking past his territory on the beach until I give him a two minute rubdown. Once this is done, the dog will allow me to continue on my way. I look at it as a toll I have to pay for crossing his part of the beach.

In the States, Pit Bulls are just status symbols for low IQ ghetto-dwellers.

About 30 years ago I ran to the rescue of some poor devil who was being attacked by a Pit Bull in my San Francisco neighborhood and believe me, every time I hit that dog on the top of its head with my lightweight billy club it bounced off that creature's skull. In fact, I had to whack the dog anywhere between 15 and 25 times until it went into kind of a stupor.

In California thieves just walk into pharmacies and steal whatever they want with impunity. That being said, with all the fresh fruit available here in Thailand, it's beyond me why anybody would feel the need to buy, or steal, vitamin C tablets.

And the moral of the story is, always have a backup plan.

"Since compassion for animals is so intimately associated with goodness of character, it may be confidently asserted that whoever is cruel to animals cannot be a good man." Arthur Schopenhauer

I heartily agree with the good doctor. In my experience, tobacco junkies are among the most selfish and inconsiderate people. In fact, when I drove a cab in San Francisco, they would often light up in my taxi and then complain when I rolled my driver's window down as they puffed away. I was truly grateful when legislation was passed that made it illegal to smoke in taxis without the driver's permission.

You've obviously led a very sheltered life and never experienced any serious danger firsthand. But learning a martial art isn’t just about expecting violence — it’s about building confidence, and being prepared for situations we all hope will never happen. It’s like learning first aid: you may never need it, but if you do, you’ll be glad you took the time to learn about it.

That's an interesting perspective, given that far more innocent people were murdered in Europe in the last century than in the United States. Are you not familiar with the Holocaust, Stalin's purges and forced famines, the ethnic cleansing in the Balkans in the 1990s, and the Armenian genocide?

I also hitchhiked all over Europe in my youth and all over Lappland and hitchhiked most of the way from Europe to Calcutta. From there I flew to Bangkok and then hitched from there down to Singapore where I stayed in the Sikh Temple for several weeks until I could board a ship to Australia. When I arrived in Australia in late December 1964 I hitchhiked from Perth to Adelaide, Melbourn, Sydney, Brisbane, Mount Isa, Camooweal, Darwin. In those years I was also able to avoid fights. However, after returning to the USA to my hometown of San Francisco it wasn't long before I was getting into fights on the street. They could not be avoided. In fact, after I started driving a taxi I hired an old time boxer to train me at Newman's boxing gym on Leavenworth Street. I learned a lot from him and was able to knock two suits on their asses in front of the Buena Vista Cafe. My point being that only a fool would be so idealistic as to go through life without learning how to defend himself. Would you board a passenger ship and cross the Atlantic on it if it had no lifeboats?

Julius Caesar mentions somewhere in his war commentaries that the fiercest warriors to fight against him were those with the least exposure to civilization. Additionally, according to population biologist Elmer Pendell, civilizations are the creations of the highest type of men but also their undoing. The theory suggests that civilization shelters the weak and unfit, preventing nature from weeding them out. These unfit individuals have a higher birthrate than the fit, and soon outnumber them, leading to the civilization's decline.

I'm 82 and I don't run any days. However, I swim one kilometer every other day and walk on the non swim days.

And the British-American puppet, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, otherwise known as the Shah of Iran, was equally brutal. He allowed the British and Americans to exploit Iran's oil while holding his fellow Iranians at gunpoint. My point being that uncletiger is not wrong.

1. Overthrew Colonel Muammar Gaddafi in 2011 2. Tried to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad of Syria in 2011. 3. The U.S. supported pro-Western opposition groups during the Euromaidan protests contributing to Yanukovych's ouster in 2014. Do you need more?

On the contrary, what's sad is your refusal to accept the the evidence you asked for. After all, it should be quite obvious to any objective observer that Operation Ajax was a criminal takeover of Iran.

Hello bradiston! This is Houston, come in! Do you read us? Earth calling bradiston, come in! Bradiston do you read Operation Ajax and Operation PBsuccess? uncletiger, I fear bradiston is lost in a black hole.
