  1. I found a guy goes by Sam, Mr. Somsan Maisuk, Prime Legal and Notarial Limited. He's in the Empire Tower, much more reasonable than others. This was just October of this year so I think he should be in business.
  2. Much, much wiser people than me have answered that question already, and much better than I ever will. My point exactly. And what I said in my post. If I want to ponder questions of the existence of god I won't be looking to ASEANNOW. See ya.
  3. "the first time it was asked, I gave a proper answer" This is known as the "unshakeable certainty of the half educated". Who would have the combination of ignorance and egotism that would allow them to think they had given "a proper answer" to a problem that has been discussed by humanity's greatest minds for centuries. Oh yeah, a guy in a discussion group about SE Asia travel and visa problems.
  4. Interesting that you are non-denominational considering your preference for pontificating. (Do you understand even that?)
  5. The problem of evil is fundamental to a discussion of belief in god. It's not a shortcoming, it's a fundamental flaw. If the fundamental premise is nonsensical, what do you mean by the "good sides" of a religion? People knowing the difference between right and wrong? Don't need religion for that. Doing good works? Don't need religion for that. You set up this thread trying to control the discussion in the belief in god thread and I think that is what people are responding negatively to.
  6. OK so you were lying when pretending not to know. Typical of religious apologists, unable to have an honest discussion. It's not trolling. Google "the problem of evil" and dozens of serious topics are returned. Again, typical of religious apologists, trying to rig the game by declaring a topic off limits for discussion. It puts a bug up your behind because there is no satisfactory, honest answer.
  7. No, it isn't a way to troll. It's a legitimate question to ask concerning a hypothetical god who is all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-good. And it puts a bug up your behind because there is no good answer. The "problem of evil" is a difficulty for many thinking people. Witness Bart Ehrman (who I'm willing to bet forgot more than you'll ever know about Christianity) on the problem of evil. https://ehrmanblog.org/bart-ehrman-on-problem-of-suffering-ucb/ It isn't really a problem with the existence of supernatural beings, hence Hinduism has no problem with this question. It is only a problem with monotheism and the above definition of the deity.
  8. Turns out MSG is basically harmless. Apparently knowingly consuming it makes some white people feel less white. Other than that, only certain people with a specific MSG sensitivity need avoid it. https://health.clevelandclinic.org/is-msg-really-harmful
  9. You are a forum member right? Are you unaware that other SE Asia forums exist? They also welcome us nobodies even though our voices have no value. I am gonna suggest you get a puppy, it might cheer you up.
  10. Starbucks taught me that I am a very poor retail market analyst. When Starbucks first came out I was going around saying "Who is gonna pay $4 bucks for a cup of coffee?". Turns out just about everybody. Bought a couple coffees at the Starbucks near my job this year; but generally I walk by them and get a can of Nescafe Espresso for 18 baht at TOPS.
  11. Easily explained. How dumb is the average person? Half the people are dumber than that.
  12. The 9 laughing emojis might give you a clue that the comment was intended to be humorous and the intent was detected by others but possibly not by you.
  13. From your post it appears that this has not happened to you. Why do you think you are likely to provoke it? Or just fantasizing as a result of watching action movies.

    I find a lot of people to be very generous in their self appraisals. Nothing unusual about it, tough to be accurate in judging ourselves.
  15. I would be happy if the motorcycles just stayed off the sidewalks/pavements/walkways. I will gladly dodge them in the street but they always startle me on the sidewalk.
  16. From the article it sounds like he made a reasonable effort to accommodate her. Maybe she was just a beeyotch.
  17. The war of personal experiences continues. I had the COVID vaccines, January of 2021 in Los Angeles, worked throughout the pandemic seeing patients after discharge from hospital. During that period LA county was at times among the "hottest" areas in the world for new COVID infections. I never got COVID. I have had a total of 5 COVID vaccinations and boosters. No side effects from the vaccinations or boosters, no COVID. I always recommend a visit to the reddit "Hermann Cain awards".
  18. The quote was from former Federal Judge and informal adviser to Pence, Michael Luttig. He was discussing the Colorado decision on MSNBC. He did not seem to predict disqualification saying "if he is to be disqualified". The words "thinking about it seriously" seem to be key. ' “It is a natural and expected reaction by all Americans,” to think in terms of politics, Luttig said, “But upon thinking about it seriously, I think it’s crystal clear.” “It will be crystal clear to the American public that it’s the Constitution of the United States that’s disqualifying the former president from higher office, if he is to be disqualified,” he continued. “It’s not President Joe Biden. It’s not the Democrats. It’s not the anti-Trumpers.” The Colorado Supreme Court determined that Trump was responsible for the Jan. 6 Capitol riots and should be disqualified from the ballot via the 14th Amendment.

  19. Economy is going well but apparently the man in the street does not believe it.
  20. I don't think the poll that is quoted was restricted to Colorado. Even still, polls....
  21. When you say snacks I am not thinking about health, just about snacking. I like these, apparently they are a NE regional thing in the US, company is in Pennsylvania but I never saw them in the midwest or the western states. Anyway, I work next door to a TOPS and TOPS has a big snack section with lots of choices from US, UK, Australia... Asian nations as well. Just a stroll up and down the aisles there you will probably find something you want to try. I also like the dried peas, not the wasabi ones they are too hot for me. I am a junk food junkie and always find something different to try at the TOPS junk food section.
  22. I think this is true. Even in Bangkok, I have lived in Ratchayothin and in Saphan Sang areas of Bangkok and there are very few farangs to be seen there. When I ride the Sukhumvit Line of the BTS I am always surprised to see so many farangs.
