So you call a gogo bar a glorified whore house. Yep, never seen hordes of single men queuing outside the ladyboy cabarets waiting to get in. Have you seen the queues? I'd be careful with the flame calling me ignorant................... source

You're lucky Marjorie Green wasn't there, she would have had everyone aim their AR-15's at it.

I disagree, if there "had" to be a choice to take children to see a show then taking them to glorified whore house with men waiting to pay for sex or a ladyboy cabaret is a no brainier Source Source

There will be a fair proportion of affected women who may not have your opinion. Pence also wants a nationwide, all state ban on abortion, in addition to a ban on the contraceptive pill.

No idea, I doubt it. But you responded to my post that was referring to shows not schools based on the OP "bills, which seek to ban children from drag performances" Regards in school then personally I see no need for in person drag or ladyboy sessions in any country as I would expect adequate sexual and social education would cover differing gender issues. Oh wait, I hear they are stopping that also in the US

Amazing success from Biden

And your so-called "perspective" does not allow for the remnants of rebound growth post Covid It does if you read the article

Yes things are different here in Thailand, they are more accepting of ladyboy shows without the need to scream and charge parents with a crime if they take their kids to one. Just as it should be in the US

"Nothing" Oh so you just added it for fun I thought the graph and link put that in perspective? "Taking the longer view, economic growth during Mr Biden's first year in office (from January 2021) was greater than under both Presidents Trump and Obama."

Terrible comparison, go go bars provide a lot more than visual entertainment for men waiting to bar fine the girls and some of their shows are far more graphic than any ladyboy show. In fact just last week I dropped off my daughter (15) to meet up with her friends near Bangla Road for a lazer tag venue. I expressly told her not to venture into Bangla as it was not the place for teen girls, I picked her up from Jungceylon in the evening.

And what? The statistics are there for you to see, what needs adding?

You guess wrong. on all points.

There's a very dark underbelly of extreme right wing loons who would like to control and censor what parents can or can't do, what teachers can or cannot teach. From OP link: "Last month, five armed members of the Proud Boys, a far-right group with a history of violence, confronted families attending a Salt Lake City show." Here's the no paywall link to the Washington Post article. https://archive.ph/6BxX8 What next, ban TV because some parents may let their children watch a show they consider not suitable? Of course parents have to show responsibility and some fail but lets get this in perspective, drag shows? Here in Phuket there's 2 or 3 large ladyboy cabaret and comedy shows that are packed nightly, I've never been but they are not touted as adults only and judging by the bus loads of tourists that go nightly its just entertainment.

I've expressed my opinion based on history and previous lies: In high-stakes meeting, Russia tells U.S. it isn't planning to invade Ukraine

Bit more info on him here when the Sun caught up with him in Kanchanaburi 2 or 3 years ago. And after The Sun tracked David Armitage down to his remote home in Thailand – where he moved after she vanished - he made his position over her death perfectly clear. “I’m bored with it all,” he said. “I just want to get on with work.” https://www.the-sun.com/news/495013/lady-of-the-hills-husband-says-hes-bored-of-it-all-as-he-faces-fresh-probe-over-mysterious-murder-of-thai-bride-wife/

"Russia's foreign ministry rejected the reports." Which obviously means they are true............ US 'deeply concerned' by reports of Russian plans to take over Moldova The allegations had concerned the White House, with its national security spokesperson John Kirby saying the move would "certainly not be outside the bounds of Russian behaviour". Though rumours of the Russian takeover plan couldn't be independently verified, he said they were "deeply concerning". https://news.sky.com/story/ukraine-war-latest-us-deeply-concerned-by-rumours-of-putin-plan-to-take-moldova-12541713?postid=5427992#liveblog-body

More hate directed at Rihanna at the Super Bowl, this time started by far-right conspiracy theorist Stew Peters BASELESS RUMORS ABOUT RIHANNA BEING A DEVIL WORSHIPER DEBUNKED The baseless rumors took over the internet after a few fans noticed the singer wearing red attire. Some were quick to connect the color to the devil. Meanwhile, there were others who thought Rihanna’s belt depicted the star of the pentagram, which is often connected to Satan. This theory first became popular on the platform when American personality Stew Peters posted a picture of Rihanna from the show and wrote: “How will the masses know we’re worshiping satan? Easy. We’re going to put a pentagram on your devil suit.” https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2023/02/13/baseless-rumors-about-rihanna-being-a-devil-worshiper-debunked/ Did Rihanna Wear a 'Satanic' Pentagram During Her Super Bowl Halftime Show? https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/rihanna-satanic-pentagram-super-bowl/

Donnie's lewd and vulgar remarks to women is well documented. Expect nothing less

Looking just at graphs is out of context when you don't read the accompanying reasons for the data. "Conclusion It would be a misrepresentation of the finding to say it is evidence against vaccination. This finding actually underscores the importance of staying up-to-date on boosters."

Michigan State University police say a suspected gunman has died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound following an on-campus shooting that left at least three people dead and five others hospitalized. https://www.nbcnews.com/now/video/michigan-state-officials-say-suspected-gunman-dead-of-self-inflicted-gunshot-wound-163310661550

Trying to get some positives from this report is not easy, however: "Overall, 22% of high schoolers said they have considered suicide. That is somewhat better than the 29% when the CDC first began its biennial survey in the 1990s, but is an increase from the record low 13.8% tallied in 2009." "While many of the trends have substantially worsened over the past decade, the report's authors do point out that a handful of indicators are now moving "in the right direction." Social media obviously plays some part in this however its complex and there are a multiple reasons mentioned in the article. Schools play a huge part in combating this and need the resources to do so. Social media is not going away however it needs to be censored where appropriate and quite rightly is. Twitter is the only platform that allows porn and no verification needed for signing up. There's an easy fix for this do as all the other main social platforms. Ban it.

Live updates here: https://edition.cnn.com/us/live-news/michigan-state-university-shooting-updates-2-13-23/index.html Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson described the heartbreak and horror at Michigan State University as "unfathomable."

We must come together and do whatever it takes to protect our kids & communities from gun violence."

Now if anyone has been doing some free thinking (i know, i know, it's dangerous and bad for democracy) they will have concern that shooting down possible nuclear powered objects Your free thinking has got the better of you............lol The Republicans: Your a wimp Biden shoot down the balloon Biden: I just shot down 4 The Republicans: OMG why did you shoot down UFO's

Don't think they have high res camera's? But they do have a targeting pod that transmits images. The full audio of the two F-16 fighter jet pilots is in this link, very interesting and detailed although the pilots are themselves very confused as to what the object actually is. Here's a few snippets: “Looking outside it’s like a black-ish, I’m gonna call it like a container, can’t really tell though what the shape is,” one pilot says. “I’ve got a tone,” he adds, indicating that the AIM-9X locked on and that he has a “good track but can’t see through the glare of the cockpit.” “The size of it, that would be challenging, it’s so slow and so small, I just can’t see it,” one of the pilots says. “Definitely smaller than a car,” is the judgment of one of the pilots.
