Can't stay away can you? I did use more letters if you would read the reply.

That's what I was trying to implicate. To each their own. People wearing masks aren't cowards or mentally ill but cautious. They might not be as effective as they think, but having peace of mind is always a good thing.

You actually think women who are promiscuous are enjoying the sex? What you don't understand is that there are reasons women are promiscuous, and happiness isn't one of them. Having sex with a bunch of men isn't what makes a normal woman happy. Having sex with one man who has shown himself to be loyal does. A woman can enjoy sex as much as a man but they need a connection to give themselves freely. Women who have multiple partners throughout life had a very sad childhood, likely without a father involved or even around.. Always looking for the perfect partner their absent father was seen as. You posting this link think it's normal to have an affair while married? Yes, it happens, but it's not normal behavior. The woman that cheats loses not only her husband many times, but also her dignity. The only one who possibly wins is the player using her, as he's not going to stay with a woman who cheats, even though it's him she's cheating with, and he might get or receive an STD. Men who go after married women are likely to carry STD's, as they don't care about who they're having sex with, as long as they get off in something. That you haven't the slightest clue about what makes a normal man-woman relationship is blatantly obvious. It's obvious you haven't had many, if any normal relationships with a woman that hasn't been around the block,or one that isn't getting cash as an incentive. Yes, my ex was trying as a last resort to get back with me, as her new husband neither has the looks or desire to help that I've shown her since we met. I not only treated her very well, but also helped her mom at the farm every week, doing hard labor along with the other siblings, and her mom actually told my now girlfriend. "my daughter was wrong, he treated her better than anyone ever has". Naive might be your middle name Malcolm, or assume.

Report Anutin's Mission: All Thai Kids Back in Classrooms
fredwiggy replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
First, make sure they all attend. It's supposed to be the law, even though what children learn in school doesn't do much as life lessons. They still learn to read and write. If they don't go, and are passed even if they fail, what will their future be if they can't even read or write Thai? Second, have the government pay for better busing, so no students have to take the chance of falling off the top of buses when they have up to 12 sitting on the tops of the buses. Third, prosecute teachers who still hit students, and stop them from teaching again permanently. Fourth, ensure protection for the girls, and some boys, from being statistics of in school molestation, and removing the predators and jailing them, even at 16-18 years old. Fifth, allow more native English speakers to teach English, as the locals aren't doing much of a job in public schools. Finally, fire teachers that only go through the motions, handing out papers and sitting on their phones during classes. -
My girlfriend has a friend living close who has two kids. One with a local and one with a foreigner. She always has men coming to her drink shop, foreigners and locals, as she's okay looking (not as nice as she thinks). She told my GF a man sent her 80,000 baht a month. I told her no one would send that much and it's likely BS. It of course eventually stopped, whatever he was sending. I hear this happens a lot here, men who send money so they can have a Thai sex partner set up when they come to visit, thinking it's better than a hooker, although it's kinda like one anyway. She has told me a few of her friends also get money from out of country foreigners, all without yet visiting besides one that comes every now and then.

Report Breakfast Horror: Live Worms Found in Fried Fish at Phuket Shop
fredwiggy replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
What I thought but it says fried. I'm thinking the fish was left out too long and flies got into it. If it was fried then sold, worms wouldn't survive that heat. -
Yes, there are masks that are much better suited for breathing in air in Thailand, but they aren't "fun" to wear, which is why most just choose the surgical masks, which aren't as effective as the better ones. Any mask is better than none. If anything, to stop the wearer from sneezing or coughing on others close to them.

No, we all don't agree on women being promiscuous. We all aren't predators who take advantage of the naivete of women looking for a better life and giving themselves to foreigners, hoping they'll have a better life than being with some locals, who have proven to be butterflies most of the time. Yes, the problems that come are unwanted pregnancies, STD's, violence towards women, women who scam foreigners for their money, a bad rap against foreigners that are actually taking care of women here along with the children made. Ask yourself why some women are promiscuous. There are a few reasons, and they aren't good signs.

If you read the links you'll understand a bit more. I didn't say they stopped all particles but are protection from some.

They do give some protection from large particles and other airborne droplets............https://www.pacificprime.co.th/blog/n95-vs-surgical-masks-what-to-wear-when-air-pollution-is-bad/....................https://smartairfilters.com/en/blog/surgical-masks-surprisingly-effective-pm2-5/?srsltid=AfmBOopwsi_cVY9jyBwY0dzAWOmEnnSgYuCXkzR-bifo7aT4gc7pSZpc

Was it against the law to make me fly in broken seat
fredwiggy replied to steven62's topic in UK & Europe Topics and Events
It all depends on how long you can keep the complaint going. They eventually get tired of hearing from you and they might give you a reduced flight or upgrade the next time you fly, as your complaint is legitimate. I recently sent a box of food and things to myself here in Thailand from Texas while I was there visiting. It took over a month to get here. It was supposed to go through Chicago and then to Bangkok, customs, then my house. It went to Chicago, Puerto Rico, back to Chicago, then Europe, then Bangkok customs, then the local post office. The box was half the size of when I sent it, smashed by things obviously put on top of it. The sauce, cereals and pretzels I sent were in a mix at the bottom of the box. Luckily the book I sent was on top and wasn't damaged. I took pictures, made a claim and waited. They told me since I didn't have receipts for the food (who keeps them?), I would need pictures and dates I bought them, and from where. I sent these, although they already had the pictures and I told them where I bought the items and showed a price list earlier. They again, 2 times, said it was denied. It was only $44 USD but the principle of the thing had me keeping on, telling them they can't refund my measly $44, seeing the obvious damage by their workers. A month later, yesterday, they sent me a check for what it cost me to send the package, plus the cost of the damaged food, so pestering them worked. -
Fiction, like movies that are, is for entertainment. Any reading helps your mind and problem solving skills. It increases your comprehension and lowers stress. A step away from reality into fantasy just like smoking weed and having a few beers or wine. Watching Jurassic Park, Alien movies, Terminator, or any others takes you away from the stresses of life, at least for awhile. The same with reading fiction.

Books don't make you smarter but reading them does. Reading does increase your knowledge on subjects, just as listening to a good teacher does. If you stop reading after high school, your learning is only by what you see and hear, much of which is just opinions and not factual. Fiction reading also expands the mind, as using your imagination increases your problem solving skills. This is some of what reading does........https://www.healthline.com/health/does-reading-make-you-smarter#empathy.

Why are you concerned with others wearing masks? If they want to protect themselves from any number of airborne diseases, or smoke from all the burning, let them. Yes, most masks don't stop Covid as well as they think but it does prevent some particles from being inhaled. How can you call a person a coward or mentally ill for wearing a mask? Are they somehow brave for not wearing one? And like a few here that think they can change their usernames to come back and troll incognito, you might change yours as it doesn't match your outlook. Unless of course, seeing you only have a few replies, maybe you already did.

Whether it's the norm or not, wearing masks in Thailand, especially during the burning times, is a smart idea. People get lung disease from the smoke, and any protection while outdoors is self protection. The same for any nation where air pollution is a problem, like this study shows............https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_air_pollution.
-
I haven't asked any besides my girlfriend, who isn't, who are afraid of Covid now, but from what I see daily, most seem not to care. I see some still wearing masks, but while walking and driving scooters, and a few in stores, but what I do still see, besides locals eating in a large group sharing food , is this..............

Where have they screwed up their immune systems? Where is the evidence for that? I still haven't seen evidence of long term damage from the vaccines, although of course it might happen. The usual vaccine side effect happens very soon after the shot, and they have been mild. How have the multiple jabbed lost protection from new infections?

How did your dad influence your life

True, our relationships all influence us. -

Boyfriends. You know, where you date people trying to find that right one. Not exchanges for money so that might have confused you some. -
How did your dad influence your life
fredwiggy replied to Harrisfan's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I knew some of the things my dad did were wrong, so I did otherwise. Yes, they are our first role models, and much of our behavior mimics theirs, especially towards our children, but again, you can choose to do different. I've been reading constantly since my first marriage went under, trying to do my part in a relationship and raising kids. Picking the wrong people, especially to have children with, doesn't help your cause. Treating others good doesn't always get you the same treatment back. -
How did your dad influence your life
fredwiggy replied to Harrisfan's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Look up stats for everywhere. They might surprise you. A higher population always has more crimes. Girls in Thailand, up to 70% , are sexually assaulted in school by the time they are 17. In the US, the figure is 12%. -
How did your dad influence your life
fredwiggy replied to Harrisfan's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Picking the wrong partners doesn't mean I haven't learned over my life how to treat women. Any adult understands you can treat people well and have them sh*t on you. Calling a person who acts like a misogynist is just pointing out the obvious. It's what they say first, and many times on this forum. Washing dishes and doing your share of the household duties aren't fantasies but what a man does to help his wife. That you disagree and what you said shows me why you would disagree. Your words in just one reply here. There are others that solidify this statement.......... "personally i do not recognize the concept of "marriage" . basically its a legal doctrine which IMO is not one I want to sign on to . living together has been fine for me, and easy(er) to move on from." You think that women aren't equals. And commenting on a person that believes in marriage when you haven't a clue about one nor what it takes to maintain one, and just want to move on doesn't qualify you as anyone to listen to. Some people work hard in a marriage, but if the other party doesn't want to, doesn't know how to, or is so damaged by her childhood she doesn't know what a marriage means, it isn't possible to save. I tell things as they are and were. Sorry you can't understand that there are women in this world who are just plain bad, as there are men.
