That's just your opinion, which is slanted towards idealistic. Did I say a transactional relationship could not evolve into something else? I give my GF what she wants, she gives me what I want. Welcome to Thailand. So you don't consider setting yourself up as some kind of ASEAN moral crusader has an element of narcissism?

There is no need to be lonely in Thailand, provided one accepts 99% of relationships are transactional. The OP once again demonstrates his ability to document his fantasized encounters.

I wasn't too concerned about traffic in the US, even if I had to drive on the wrong side of the road, and remember where to look if I was a pedestrian. For the most part, I found American drivers to be sensible. OTOH, I did not feel comfortable in a country where every police officer was toting a gun. Although it is pretty much the same here. Every time I went to a show or sporting event, I was wondering if a crazy would pop out of the woodwork.

Catholicism has taught plenty of people about pedophilia, some the hard way. It's a statistically inevitable consequence of a celibacy ukase, formulated for financial reasons. It has nothing to do with purity. Being a sexual predator probably ranks pretty low on the list of sins. <deleted> hypocrites.

How much was the bail? Good to hear you are nearly mended physically, although I suppose you are far more wary on the roads.

Zelensky has courage, and is a statesman. I can't imagine Trump defending anything but his own skin.

I'm actually surprised Trump would go there, given the comments by Stormy Daniels.

Palmer's daughter called it "a poor choice of approaches". Mind you, she probably got about $400 million as an inheritance, so she wouldn't want to bite the hand potentially feeding her too hard.

Er - Australia has a Labor = leftist government presently. Judging by how the conservative opposition is losing safe seats to independents, could be some time before they are in power again. IMO Congress and the Senate could do with a healthy dose of independents too.

Your memory is good, I made that slip quite some time ago. It's probably the only thing about you I like.

In your dreams. The very large early voting and mail-in volume point to a Democrat landslide. United Stares LOL.

Marxism and Nazism are at polar ends of the political spectrum. What you posted isn't word salad, it's word porridge. Many non-Americans are cheering on the demise of a felon, sexual predator and serial liar, hoping America will return to sanity. The usual obsession with leftists. News flash - Australia has had leftist governments on and off since Federation. They usually introduce the majority of reforms that benefit ordinary people. Tell me how giving tax cuts to billionaires, and slashing Medicare and Social Security, will help ordinary people.

The fines are too small to be a deterrent, usually 200 baht. Take someone's scooter away for a month, it probably affects their livelihood.

Let me know when you get past the taunts of a child.

The Trump presidency consisted of sucking up to dictators, and giving offence to allies. Every democratic leader understood nothing Trump said could be relied on. He was a diplomatic disaster. Speak for yourself. You're not speaking for many non-Americans.

IMO if the police here started locking up offender's scooters for a few weeks, road behaviors would improve very rapidly, as the word got around. Fines here are laughable. I was fined 500 baht for speeding some years ago, a speed camera that was actually working. The same offence in Australia would have cost me 17,000 baht, with 3 demerit points on my licence.

They do it in every country. How do you think Murdoch stayed out of a UK jail? IIRC you said your attacker was a university lecturer, I didn't know they were that rich. Perhaps it's the prestige more than the money.

Trump is a golf cheat, Palmer epitomized all the honorable aspects of the game. Only a sick person would see the humor in Trump profaning one of the game's icons. Do you think Trump being a sexual predator is funny too?

As I understand it, 90 days can be reported in person up to 7 days late. However, online reporting must be done prior to the due date. Online reporting apparently works in Windows only, Immigration can't process Mac or Linux.

Sources and links are the same thing. You're the one saying reading comprehension is a vanishing skill?

Trump a winner on the economy? Harris will increase the national debt by $1.2 trillion, Trump by $5.8 trillion. You have weird ideas about winning. Trump will put Trump first.

It's new at Chiang Rai, which is why I started this thread. Thanks for your useful contribution.

The support of a felon and sexual predator by religious groups deserves to be maligned. Rank hypocrites.

Obviously you don't realise that is the modus operandi of both Trump and Vance. Vance has admitted he made the pet-eating story up.

A bit off topic, but I have 800K in the BB account, 750K in a Kasikorn account. I can easily top up the Kasikorn account to 800K, and leave it untouched. If I use the Kasikorn account for future extensions, will I be able to get a 12 month statement without a delay of a week? If I have the 800K in the Kasikorn account PRIOR TO my next extension, can I use that account for proof of funds on succeeding extensions? So many rules, just to boost the employment numbers.
