The Crime of the Century

All good - until you are in an accident

So ... only 275 people. And they used some mysterious 'Baseline' to obtain the before 'Estimates'

Sure sounds like science at work.

Chalk this up to the same madness as releasing vaccine before a full on clinical trial was done.

The effects will not be known for years.

I can already hear the excuses - more happy Horse Hockey

That is the very reason people mock religion - they are NOT ignorant of the harm it has caused, and continues to harm.

Give me a child until he is seven and I will give you the man

That was the Jesuit motto, alleged to be attributed to Francis Xavier, the co-founder of the Jesuit Order. The implication is that the best opportunity to indoctrinate a person in a lifetime of belief and devotion to religious dogma is when they are young.

Bravo... that is one... now another one to go.... Immunity or not , the law is for everyone

Everyone who has power = money

Not EVERYONE

Just rode CNX Pai. Saw a few raptors, but was not able to look all the time for obvious reasons.

Traffic very light. Nicest trip on this road ever - I remember the days of dodging minivans during high season. Stopped riding because of it.

26 year old Subaru - what could possibly be wrong with that !!! 555

Wonder how many people on this thread have ever rode a trike

I'll bet not many - if any

Is he being chased by a Hello Kitty pink Scoopy ??? 555

For you Kwa ... 555

That photo shows why Thailand is going to have a problem attracting tourists. Look how dirty the gutter is, how filthy the white paint is and the broken pavement.

It used to be OK to be decrepit 20 years ago, but not now.

Looks OK to me - and I spend a lot of time in the gutter !

The Mazdas have a far better ride and dynamics compared to the other Japanese SUVs being sold here as they are not pickup truck based. That said, they do have a reasonably firm suspension. This is a generalization as I have not driven a CX-9. 

So ... they ride better, but you don't know as you have never driven one.

Do I have this right ? 555

Ride quality depends on spring rate and shock absorber damping, not the badge on the grill

This is not just a Thai thing.

Last year when working, was in town driving down the road.

Approached a corner and some dumb--- wearing headphones and staring at her fone screen just stepped onto the road. Did not even look - she sure heard the horn tho'

Want to stay alive on the road - pay attention

Downtown CNX today -

It seems I wasn't clear enough. It's the 'capacity' (for language and abstract thought) which is unique. Our capacity for language and abstract thought is far greater than that of any other animal. Didn't you know that? ????

If animals can problem solve, and communicate with each other - they have that capacity by definition.

One of many definitions -

the power to learn or retain knowledge; in law, the ability to understand the facts and significance of your behavior

synonyms: mental ability

Far Greater - is nothing but a matter of degree, and until we can decipher what they say, find the meaning, how do you know it is greater ? Answer - you don't.

I must have magical powers ...

Been crossing the road all my life - never been hit

Zebra crossings, elephant crossing, Jesus crossings, whatever

One way street (again not really relevant in LOS).

If it is a one way street - who cares what side of the road you walk on ? both sides face oncoming traffic

That only works if you need to walk in that direction.

All animals have some degree of sensory perception, which varies according to the species. Humans have the unique capacity for language and abstract thought

Not true.

Octopus can problem solve, which requires abstract thinking. Along with chimps, birds, the list is long.

Whales communicate world wide with their low frequency 'voices'.
