  1. I do, along with an over 32 billion USD projection by this year.
  2. Not normal, but accepted here. Grandma in charge, dad and mom away living their lives, children not watched or treated as well as they should be.Children grow up too fats in many areas, but here it's ways that are against the law and all about negligence.
  3. Some stay with the wrong people for quite awhile out of obligation or fear, until they finally understand leaving is the best and only option.
  4. I'm guessing Lazada will have some extra orders soon..........
  5. All over but not enough good resources here to help.
  6. The parents apologize for their son's behavior? Losing face is more important than actually teaching respect for others at home.He won't get jail as he's too young, and it's kinda late to teach what should have already been there. This one's very likely to go into his relationships treating women the same, and jail is a likely future.
  7. As far as voices many have been voted in as some of the best and a lot aren't worthy of the title. This shows how little many know what a good singer is. Elvis had a good voice for sure, as did Mercury but all around Paul Rodgers is right on top, and he's been voted in by people in the know. Steve Walsh isn't listed at the top but he's definitely in the top 5, as is Steve Perry. Some have distinctive voices, rock voices, like Gregg Allman (Scratchy but fit well), Rob Halford (good range and the top metal vocalist), Robert Plant (another good rock singer at the top), Ozzy (rough but another one that fit his music), Jim Morrison, Ian Gillan, Roger Daltrey, Axl Rose, and Ronnie james Dio. Elvis is more a pop and rock and roll singer. The others more rock and hard rock. Perry was the smoothest, Steve Walsh and Rodgers the most range. As far as women, Stevie Nicks, Enya (more folk than rock), Heather Findlay, Olivia Sparnenn, Ann Wilson, Linda Rondstadt and Grace Slick, among others. Hard to say who's best as the music is varied.
  8. Mercury and Rodgers have (had) more range, along with writing their own music. It's hard to compare singers and say who's best if they're all good, but all around Rodgers is probably the best all around singer/songwriter, and a l0t more varied in his music.
  9. Paul Rodgers and Freddie Mercury are better singers and also write (wrote) their own lyrics. Elvis had a good voice yes, but Rodgers and Mercury were (are) better. Steve Walsh of Kansas is another.
  10. Nothing wrong with my thinking. Go back and see what I've been saying since the beginning. I know plenty of people who had tattoos when I was still in my teens, 20's and later. Your words,..........."but obviously you are far too young to know that tattoos, up until maybe the nineties, early 200p, tattoos were mainly for the worst of society..most people, men and woman, did not have tattoos". Assumptions, like a few here make daily. Tattoos were not mainly for the worst of society. Thousands of military men had them, including my dad. Musicians, bikers, celebrities, hippies and many more who were regular people, as tattoos again were always part of society. That you think most were the worst of society shows you knew very few people, and judged those with tattoos harshly. Now, more gang members over the years have gotten them, and these aren't the best behaved people around, so the increase of those might have you thinking that it's the worst parts of society that has the most tattoos, but that would still be false, as there are hundreds of thousands of regular people from all walks of life that have them, and have had them for decades. I started working out in 1974, and training people in 1979, in 6 gyms, and have seen thousands of people in the gyms I trained or worked at, and these were regular ordinary people, not the dregs of society, as most of the gyms I worked in or went to were not cheap dives but upscale clubs. What I didn't say was there were many with tattoos in the 60's, as I was only a preteen and teen then, and tattoos weren't something I would have seen as most people were fully clothed except on the beaches. You're close to my age, so you wouldn't have known either.
  11. Of course it did, as my point was many ride motorbikes with one hand but it's safer to use both. Look back at your assumptions of me. Then look back at why you first commented to me. I said I wondered how anyone could fall asleep riding a motorbike. You said the same way as driving a car. Looking at how many people fall asleep driving cars and how few fall asleep riding motorbikes there's no comparison. And yes, you need to quote the whole sentence as it changes the meaning if you don't. Nitpicking my comment that it's riding a scooter more than driving one is pedantic. In the US we call it hands on the wheel for many ways of driving. Boats, cars, motorcycles, 3 wheelers, planes and others. Keep it to the topic. The man was said to fall asleep. I would guess most here think differently, that he just lost control, maybe being tired.
  12. Driving thousands of miles on multiple motorcycles and scooters is experience. When you quote someone, you need to put the whole sentence in, as it isn't the same meaning when it's shortened. Like this, "You have to keep both hands on the wheel for safe driving", On the wheel means driving anything. I could have said handlebars but I'm thinking you know what I meant, as we're talking about driving bikes and cars here. Of course many people drive bikes using one hand, but it's safer using both. You can call it whatever you like. Driving, riding, operating, it all means the same. I wonder why you join conversations. is it only to argue, because you're constantly trying to prove others wrong but rarely succeed, like this time. Pedantic is something you've been named before, by a few here.
  13. Have you ever driven a motorbike? If so, you would know how much more involved you are just to keep the bike going straight. You feel the wind driving a bike no matter what you wear. You have to keep both hands on the wheel for safe driving, especially around others. You know you're nowhere near as safe driving a motorbike than a fully protected car or truck. Balancing and steering takes both hands to be safe, whereas you can safely drive a car using one hand for hundreds of miles. If it's cold or hot, driving a motorbike has you stay more awake then being in a temperature controlled car, meaning more comfort, more chance to fall asleep. You know you have to be more vigilant driving a motorbike as one false move can bring the results this driver experienced, likely not falling asleep but just losing control for any number of reasons. Just too much happening driving a motorbike that'll keep you awake. Tired is definitely possible, and that can get you into accidents because of slower reflexes. Thinking I have less eventful experiences after me telling you I've driven thousands of miles on bikes alone is a false assumption. The only people that more likely have put on more mileage than I are long haul drivers. Driving twice as many miles as the average driver has you more experience on the roads. I've never seen or heard about anyone falling asleep driving a motorbike than in research. I'm thinking you haven't either.
  14. Yes, people do fall asleep much the same way everywhere but driving a scooter takes more actions and you have the wind in your face along with other stimuli and aren't near as comfortable. This is why it rarely happens on motorbikes but it does all the time in cars and trucks. I've driven motorbikes thousands of miles and never was near falling asleep but in a car or truck many times came close.
