    So, are you saying that in "men's sports," there will be no gender qualifications? If so, then anyone can participate - men, transmen, transwomen, and women. Would there be no gender tests or examinations, then? If so, that's why I suggested they call the two classifications "sports," and only have another, limited type of sports called "women's (only) sports." 

    That would be fine by me. As long as women aren't having their dreams crushed by biological men.

    There's also an influx for anabolic steroids but instead of doing something about that Thailand introduces a Muay Thai visa and it's here that steroid use is greatest.  As for the dope smoking tourists dope was always available. Just had to be careful. This isn't about dope smoking tourists though. This is about politics and this is down to Thaksin. As for people getting stoned and "inevitably getting into fights" this ain't the dope doing that. 

    See the last comment on my post:

     

    "I don't think cannabis is necessarily the bad guy, but legalising it attracts the wrong crowd."

     

    I'm not saying dope smoking makes people get into fights. I'm saying young, trouble-making chavvy men are more likely to holiday in a country where drug taking is legal.

    Are you serious, that was just a pathetic attempt at mitigating circumstances by the defence team of that nutter. How could they possibly know cannabis was responsible, did they give him a bit more later to see if it happened again?  More absolute rubbish ,  you actually wasted your time surfing the web for a horror story related to cannabis , you have issues. Ask yourself this , considering the millions of people who do use cannabis where are all the other examples

     Plenty of people have died as a result of the actions of nutters triggered by islam or indeed alcohol, so they both be banned ?

    No, I was listening to a doctor talking about cannabis induced psychosis on the radio the other day, and she mentioned this case. It wasn't hard to find.

    Thais also buy and smoke dope and have been for a very long time. The difference of late is that they didn't have to get it through criminal channels. This is what it will now go back to. Do you think this is a positive thing? People will continue to smoke dope. This cannot be stopped.

    This is true.

     

    But a certain type of tourist is attracted to countries where drug taking is legal. There has been a huge influx of wronguns coming for holidays in Thailand since cannabis was effectively legalised. 

     

    I've seen it in Samui and Patong. All male groups of 20-30 year olds taking over the place, and inevitably getting into fights. Samui and Patong used to be a mixed crowd (age and gender plus couples etc.). Now it's more more like Magaluf!

     

    I don't think cannabis is necessarily the bad guy, but legalising it attracts the wrong crowd.

    the only ones moaning about cannabis are a few intolerant  bigots on this forum whos narrow minds have been corrupted by reefer madness propaganda from the beginning of the last century.

    Try telling that to the parents of Daniel Anjorin:

     

    Man guilty of murdering boy with sword in Hainault

    Monzo had gone into a cannabis-induced psychosis before the attack, and had killed and skinned his pet cat before heading to Hainault, north-east London, the court was told.

  6. Why aren't the lefty activists shouting death to Hamas?

    Hamas have ruled over Palestinians with fear and brutality, they treat women like slaves, kill gays, caried out the 7th Oct atrocities, still holding hostages etc etc. 

     

    Hamas clinging desperately to power is prolonging the war. 

     

    Wake up lefties!

  7. I've only been to Vietnam a couple of times, and only to HCMC. I didn't feel the same sense of freedom in Vn that you get in Thailand, especially around the nightlife where I was told (by locals) the bars could be raided any time by police wanting to crack down hard on fun. I was strongly advised not to get caught up in a raid! 

     

    Maybe it's different these days, and the authorities are more relaxed over there? Or maybe I need to venture further than HCMC.

    Very little effort has been put out on their part. Here in Hua hin.. Most Thai girls STILL scream out "massage" after standing there for 10 years! It's annoying. I wish one day a waitress would enquire "is everything OK" about 5 minutes after they serve my meal. Once in 10 years that's happened. 

    Why move to another country and wait 10 years hoping the natives will change their ways, and behave the way YOU want them to behave? 

     

    Just remember, you chose Thailand, Thailand didn't choose you. 

     

    P.S. I assume your username is meant to be irony? You don't sound like a happy camper 🙂

    They never have been compliant with international requests..but now have unconditional support from the world bully and think they can get away with anything.

    Do you believe Iran should be trusted to continue with their nuclear program?

    Given their track record of backing multiple terror groups around the ME, do you think the Iranian regime would hesitate to use nuclear weapons against Israel? 

     

    I dread the thought of all out war, but I'd rather see it now with 'conventional' weapons than waiting for Iran to launch nukes at Israel. Now that really would be the end game!

     

     

    Iran has long maintained that its nuclear programme is for peaceful, civilian purposes only.

    This week, the watchdog's board of governors formally declared Iran in breach of its non-proliferation obligations for the first time in 20 years.

    An earlier IAEA report said Iran had enriched uranium to 60% purity, near weapons grade, to potentially make nine nuclear bombs.

  10. If it's true that he suffered with Epilepsy, it's possible he could've had a fit during or after his cab ride to Pattaya and bashed his head. Excessive alcohol can trigger a fit. 

     

    As to why he ended up near Pattaya, maybe his two friends wouldn't leave a boring BKK nightclub and this fella was desperate for the full on Pattaya experience. An hour's journey wouldn't deter a man on that mission full of booze.

    In my younger days I often disappeared on nights out because I didn't want to be where my mates wanted to stay, and I couldn't be bothered to discuss it.

    It certainly sounds like some mischief took place, and I do feel sorry for the guy, it's a pretty horrific outcome of a vacation. However since the medical care in Thailand is quite good and significantly less expensive, maybe it makes more sense for his family to come here while he's recovering. 

    Absolutely. He's more likely to survive in a Thai hospital than under the so called 'care' of the NHS in the UK.

    How does anyone who has died for their country get to have a say in anything, they’re dead?!

     

    Perhaps take time to learn about those gay men and women who did die for their country, here’s just one example:

     

    https://www.forcesnews.com/lgbtq/absolute-legends-gay-hero-battle-britain

    Are gay war heros excluded from Remembrance Sunday etc?

    Maybe you think gay war heros should be celebrated separately. Bit divisive that...

  13. A country's leader can either appease the left (like the UK does) and accept the risk to it's citizens  by allowing people in from  from these trouble zones. 

     

    Or they can introduce measures to reduce the risk to it's citizens, and face the wrath of the left. 

     

    I would prefer my country's leader to do the latter. Unfortunately I'm from the UK.

    It's discriminatory and racist, targeting African, Afro-Caribbean, and Muslim-majority countries, and liken it to exclusionary policies like apartheid due to its blanket application to entire nationalities.

    I disagree.

     

    A country's leader can either appease the left (like the UK does) and accept the increased risk from some individuals from these countries. 

    Or they can take drastic measures to reduce the risk for all of it's citizens, knowing they'll face the wrath of the left (throwing around the racist card etc.). 

     

    I know which I prefer.

    The Rwanda plan convinced 4 immigrants to volunteer to leave, at a cost of over £700,000,000 of tax payer’s money.

     

     

    No, the Rwanda plan was delayed by human rights activists and lawyers, and then scrapped by Labour. It wasn't a perfect plan but it was already deterring illegal migrants even before being implemented. 

    What is a better deterrent - the threat of being sent to Rwanda, or the 'threat' of being put up in a UK hotel? 

    Have boat crossing increased since the Rwanda plan was scrapped?
