On average, scientists constitute about 0.5% of the world's population. It is even fewer when one takes stock of the number of scientists and engineers who have training in thermodynamics, which has been removed from quite a few academic syllabi as too difficult. It's a highly specialized field. Climate change is the result of the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics in operation. As humans, we would have to totally change what we do in everyday life, to halt and reverse what is going to happen in the next 50 years. It takes political will. The Montreal Protocol of 1987 succeeded in repairing the hole in the ozone layer. Without it, we would probably all be sporting melanomas. I don't know about ending organised human life. The rich will survive, poorer people will either adapt or die.

I read media you probably have never heard of, The Age, The New Daily, ABC ( the Australian version ). I don't have a bible, just wondering if you bought one Trump was flogging. Also wondering whether the poll was taken from a population of Repubs.

Is that you, Nyezhov? Certainly his style.

Post the link to the poll, please.

Not offering. You can always beat yourself off with one of the old Sylvia Krystel films, in an aircraft toilet.

Is joining the mile-high club on your bucket list?

I'm reminded by said poster of the Flanders and Swann quote: " Always be sincere, whether you mean it or not".

You really are clueless. I am not envious of people who are wealthier than me, I have enough. I don't have a bitcoin wallet, as I don't subscribe to Ponzi schemes or cults. I don't need charity from anyone either, and especially not a shallow, patronizing troll.

I really have to wonder how America generates people who can't spell, are ignorant of punctuation, and carry so much hatred for everyone else. It's supposed to be the world's leading democracy. It almost looks like an African tribal conflict.

People who are as shallow as a mud puddle don't bother me either.

I always pick an aisle seat for accessibility. I book months ahead, to get as far forward in the plane as possible.

How did you make the generalisation men getting sex in return for money are misogynists? Be careful your halo does not strangle you.

The list is misleading, as a percentage of population Thailand is similar to China. I'll bet it's also way under the real figure, with massage shops having "extras" and sideline girls.

Stalin once said gratitude is a disease of dogs. Your response is what I have come to expect from you.

If you are hoping to impress me with the fact you can afford first class, it's a fail. I've known quite a few wealthy people. Some are level-headed about it, others not.

The US is the largest owner of Australian assets. We made ourselves a nuclear target with facilities such as Pine Gap and North West Cape. There are about 5000 US Marines stationed in Darwin. We have spent lives and treasure in all of your wars, from Korea onwards. Currently spending $350 billion on secondhand US nuclear submarines. Thai wives are rank amateurs compared to you bloodsuckers. Try some fact checking before posting utter rubbish.

You totally screwed up spelling misogynist. Not to mention redneck. And racist. Again confirming the hypothesis most Trump supporters did not get past primary school. I doubt it is 75 million anymore, about 30% of Republican voters polled are saying they won't vote for Trump again. Not to mention millions of women voters who heard him crowing about overturning Roe vs Wade. He would have done better to keep his mouth shut, but I guess that's impossible. Your brain is going to explode if (a) Trump goes to jail (b) Biden wins in November. Both events seem far more likely than your febrile fantasies.

The irony of Trump labeling Biden "Sleepy Joe" has come back to haunt him, as he repeatedly falls asleep during the hush money trial. Karma.

Perhaps she could have scouted for you before renting. I do rely on my Thai GF's advice when dealing with other Thais. Unfortunately, unless you take him to court, there's little chance he will do the right thing. Lawyers are expensive.

Never. I think fame would be a dangerous burden, with so many people that have tall poppy syndrome, or are just nuts. I have a different fantasy, being wealthy enough to do exactly what I want. Bobby Axelrod: "What's the point of having f*** you money, if you never say f*** you?

You said in another post your wife got to know the neighbors. Is she Thai?

Insulting others on this forum is all you've got, much like your hero. Who is definitely showing signs of dementia. Have you had yourself checked lately?

In other words, you did not do your homework. Unfortunately, Thailand is a place where foreigners are told what Thais think they want to hear.

Clutching at straws. AFAICT all the prejudicial publicity pretrial has been generated by Trump's rantings on social media.

A ride on a jetski.
