Have a look at my post history. This is the only occasion I've ever posted about Brexit. So, hardly disingenuous.

 

Yes, I would expect that kind of language from the far right. Remainers are supposed to hold themselves to a higher standard.

 

"insults, wild accusations, and conspiracies"

What you've essentially said is that having read these threads it's the Remain supporters that are engaged in the above ... you being an objective and neutral observer. My point is a simple one, you are either not a very skilled observer or you are not as objective and neutral as you make yourself out to be. You are not holding yourself to the same high standard that you expect of others.

RIP. Bullying is rife in these institutions, as are cover ups. To be fair, not just in Thailand.

This has really backfired on her. The religious Right are applauding the slow-down of hook-ups therefore fewer abortions, while the Left are condemning her for perpetuating the view that women do not enjoy sex. She is getting hammered from both sides, which is pretty hard to achieve.

I'd like to hammer her on both sides.

I don't support either "team", but it is interesting to see the kind of language being used by Remain supporters on these threads. Insults, wild accusations and conspiracies. Basically the intellectual equivalent of people snarling and spitting at anybody who disagrees with their opinion.

 

The Remain team are supposed to be made up of the people who are morally right. People who welcome immigrants and free trade, people who celebrate multi-culturalism.

 

 

You've been reading these Brexit related threads and you can say the above? You need to go over them again ... you'll find the references to "elites", "globalists", "EU Army", "Soros", "run by the Germans", "snowflakes", "remoaners", "traitors", "unpatriotic" ... I could go on. 

You are an unbiased observer with no dog in the fight? You remind me of the posts that I see on You Tube which start "I voted Remain but ...". A pretty disingenuous post.

Incidentally, the UK's electorate commission believe that Bank's has been engaged with the Russian state ... so it's a little bit more than a conspiracy theory.

Sounds to me like a good-humoured old bloke making a point in his own way. Would your reaction to the story have been the same if he was wearing a Liberal Democrat rosette?

Straight out of the Brexit Party propaganda machine ... old bloke, ex forces ... lying old sod ... but at least he'll go home with Aaron Bank's roubles stuffed in his back pocket.

Hey, I respect your good heart and willingness to help out someone in need.

 

I'm unfortunately in a situation similar myself but with a bit less money. Clearly, I haven't learned myself.

 

I find myself caught between 'being kind' and 'fear of not getting it back'.

 

The negative side of it, is reality. The reality is that a majority of Thai people do not pay money back.

 

After getting the money stolen, I then find myself caught between 'thoughts of confrontation', talking about it with my spouse, to then..."just letting it go."

 

Frozen.

 

The cold never bothered me anyway. ha

 

Have you ever considered divorce? A life of being taken advantage of is not a happy one.

And what does it matter what job she was doing ? She is in a coma. Or perhaps the puritanical hypocrites amongst us either don't care or consider for some reason she deserves to be in a coma.

And these "puritans" will be out on the town tonight banging hookers!

Lucky guy ... avoided becoming a tree hugger.

Like no one ever got food poisoning in Thailand?

Is that what I said? Yes, of course, no one ever gets food poisoning in Thailand. You're right, I should have been more specific and precise.

Now GFY.

My understanding is that when attempts were made to quarantine San Fransisco's bath house victims, the Gay Rights movement pressured politicians to vote against the measure; consequently, the disease spread throughout the homosexual population, and inevitably entered the heterosexual population.

I wonder who was the first human to get it and why? I read something suggesting cross contamination with monkeys ... probably apocryphal.

The question is where to stay in India? And would you be caught up in their tax system? 

I’ve been to Delhi several times, on business trips, nice hotels, driver, etc. I’m not sure I’d like to do it as a backpacker type. 

It was later reported that the monk who gave Happy the drink was known as Dopey, although Happy thought he got them from Doc.

how does one make sure that...?

Firstly, I’ve no idea who the company is. The point was a general one, only consider corporate bonds with financially strong companies.

beat me to it ... first thing that entered my head.

I feel a world famous fast food brand in the making ... "Chon Buri Roasters" ... should give Jollibee a run for its money.

Do you not care if Farangs are breaking the laws of Thailand?

 

Breaking laws is bad for all of us.

 

Are we not here to make this place better??

 

Should we really make us look bad, break laws, and then act like it's ok to break laws???

 

Am I now a bad person for wanting laws to be followed by fellow farangs?

 

if we allow a few to break the laws, when will it end??  

 

when someone knowingly breaks the law, i am concerned.  

Unfortunately you appear to feel bad when other foreigners are perhaps "getting something", and it gladdens your heart when that "something" is taken away from them ... which is a pretty sad attitude to take through life in my view. You dress it up around concerns over "breaking the law" but you don't really care about that, it's really just an exercise in jealousy and pettiness towards your fellow human being. 

Just be honest about it.

Did you misunderstand ?

If you have unprotected sex with a HIV+ woman , your chance of contracted the disease from her is a probability of 2 %

  If you has sex with her 50 times , the probability would be 50 x 2 %

What about the HIV infected women who are on HIV drugs? I suspect quite a few of those bar girls who are infected are also on a drug programme, which reduces the chances of infection.

Having said that anyone having unprotected sex with bar girls or lady boys is insane ... not only because of HIV, but all the other nasties that you can acquire, and the increasing number of nasties that are proving resistant to conventional antibiotics.

The picture is misleading as usual. Why can't these tree huggers actually put facts forward instead of sensationalism and just showing how ignorant they are? What is rising in the picture is steam or water vapour. Not polluting at all.

 

Instead of putting stupid misinformed pictures like this in the media put correct ones where the world does need to clean up. There are many. 

I've no idea about the picture ... but the premise that air pollution is seriously bad for your health is valid.
