"send not to know For whom the bell tolls, It tolls for thee."

Probably no helmet. Unfortunately this can turn an incident that would result in a few scratches into death.

Bit of a (false) sweeping generalisation. Is it false if it is what he has experienced?

So ignore the self-identification and focus on the behaviour?

You would understand if a man said he was heterosexual but has sex with other men? That seems pretty unclear to me.

How would people feel unwelcome or singled out if the Krungsri bank wasn't decorated with Pride decorations?

I think that would be a case of "We didn't mean that progressive!". It's certainly interesting how much support there is for equality when it's LGBT, but not so much when it's foreigners.

I actually agree with you here. It's best to post a specific link, copy and paste the relevant passage(s), and add an explanation of why it supports your position.

Which one is that?

Wouldn't that suggest that there is something wrong with the option to self-identify? If one person says that it's a homosexual thing (or whatever) and then they share evidence, but that can be contradicted with "but some of the men who have sex with other men say they aren't homosexual", it makes it kind of a pointless diversion, since we would still consider them to generally be in the ball park of gay men. I mean, if it's a "man on man" thing, then it's a "man on man" thing. The waters are simply being muddied with semantics and self-perception.

I'm afraid it sounds like there is nothing to talk about inside the bar environment either...

It's not projection. If you say something bad about a minority or "protected class", even if it is true, it's very likely that you will get any number of "ist" or "phobic" labels thrown at you.

An alarming one at that!

Nobody cares about alcohol, but weed is dangerous. Cigarettes are OK, but vapes need to be banned. where's the connection? Follow the money?

I think "Dangerous dogs that cannot be safely kept as pets were mistaken as pets by their owner. Who found out too late that he had made a mistake." is more appropriate.

First using a ladder taken from the garden shed to climb up to the first floor window? The ground floor is called the first floor in Thailand. (And some other backward place. I forget the name.)

Seems they're both mentally ill.

To be fair, she may have felt intimidated, or so damaged and tainted, that it seemed like the most sensible thing to do. This is Thailand, after all. ????‍♂️

So half their head shaved and died pink? Hair styles that require constant upkeep? Boys with shoulder length hair? Girls competing to have the nicest hair style? Group affiliation based on haircut? Those are fine? No distractions? No impact on discipline?

Progressivism for progressivism's sake. Not everything that has been around for a long time is automatically bad. There are a lot of benefits to school uniforms. The arguments against them are fairly shallow and materialistic.

So the above didn't get them mad enough to want him out, but the below did?

Surely he was "nearly captured and extradited back to Thailand, at the end of May"? The above suggests he was nearly captured, and was then extradited back to Thailand.

Wait until you find out about "trans lesbians".

Trans people need a prefix, so seeing non-trans people without a prefix makes them feel bad. It's quite trendy to view straight White men as being some kind of evil supervillain these days, so any opportunity to deride them in some way cannot be resisted.

You don't appear to be as wise as your namesake. Nowhere did I say that what my opinion on the matter was. I was simply discussing the use of the word "rescue".
