Be wary of everyone.as there are good and bad in all races and nationalities.

All diets are short term. A healthy lifestyle is permanent. Simple. Look at where the people live the longest. The blue zones. Look at how they live and what they eat. Simple and fact based. ............https://www.bluezones.com/

Don't trust anyone. When you take a cab or other drive, immediately take a picture of the car, driver and his license, and post it to a relative or friend at home. Let them see what you're doing. Do not go to bars alone and stick together, watching your drinks or keeping them in your hand until finished. Do not leave the bar with anyone, no matter what they say. Walk or ride straight to your hotel. Don't trust anyone. Don't flash cash and keep it in various places. Keep in contact with others at home through phone and video recording. Don't trust anyone. Download Line app as most places use it here. Tell them to bring more friends if possible. Be very aware of your drinking, as it's harder to be taken advantage of when you're sober. Stick to public places and eat where locals eat, meaning popular places with a lot of customers. Don't trust anyone.

There are "experts" all over, saying the same things, just as this woman proved, and there are those who do it as a living, and are trained. There are many reasons braces need to stay for a long period..............https://www.healthline.com/health/how-long-do-braces-take#average-duration

Innovative but not in near the top 10. If he would have lived he would have been .

The oldest known musical instruments are bone flutes found in caves in Europe. Some of these flutes are made from mammoth ivory and bird wing bones.

Well opinions aren't all that matters in music. Peart was one of rock's best drummers, Lifeson one of the best guitarists, and Lee had a rock voice. Their music was a mix of rock and progressive, using keys, and were excellent for having just 3 players, like triumph.

The Cars did well because they combined rock, punk, new wave and had a distinctive singer, and did this all well.

In Thailand, the legal age for selling alcohol is 20 years old. This is governed by the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act B.E. 2551 (2008). According to Section 29 of this Act, it is prohibited to sell alcoholic beverages to individuals under the age of 20.This goes along with the lack of care on both sides. Sending a child to buy liquor is illegal. Selling to that child is illegal, but it happens all day long here because. they don't care.

Just referring to your comment on Africa being where it started, which was a tad off.

Exactly and it happens here more than any other country worldwide..........Her grandmother, Ae, was caught off guard when teachers informed her about the girl's severe lung condition. "I didn't know. She used to be diligent but changed after starting Grade 4," Ae explained. The girl became aloof, stopped helping at home, and frequently went out, claiming to study with friends. .

Boston was far from average. They had one of the best singers of that time and two very accomplished guitarists. Rush was progressive at that time and nowhere near redundant. Alex Lifeson is another very accomplished player. They took rock music and expanded it using progressive styles. Innovative is what makes music different than others. The Beatles are considered one of the best bands but their music was very simple. What they did was start a trend. Badfinger were better but didn't last because of their manager and suicides, and they didn't pen tunes for teen girls like the Beatles did.

Stop ,posting things we already knew long before we even moved here. You aren't proving anything and just going over the same material. People besides you know why accidents happen. People are responsible for gathering data. That means people like myself and others. You don't have to be an "expert" to see how drivers drive. It isn't racist pointing out how drivers drive. It' isn't biased to point out what you see. It's not the entire nation at fault. There is no single solution to stop accidents. We all know why accidents happen. YOU don't understand it's still on the driver first.

I've read al you posted , and again, knew this when I was a teenager, as everyone else here did. If you READ what I write and not SKIM, you'll see that I agree with what's been written, and just added the real reason accidents first happen, something you keep dismissing. Many people don't care about driving laws, which is obvious with all the accidents that happen worldwide. It's not a rant about attitudes, but a fact. Life itself is not as precious as it is in the west, period. I'm not arguing. I'm just pointing something out you can't or won't understand. It's all been on you all along. I know why accidents happen, but you miss the real reason. A good driver can drive on any road, in any condition, in any weather and still drive safe. A bad driver doesn't care. Thai drivers are aware of the laws, although training needs improvement here, as well as enforcement. If tests were harder, roads were improved, police wrote tickets all the time like in the west, accidents would still happen here because they don't care. This si something you have missed all along, and seeing you've done research on this for 20 years here, that means you probably never leave the house. Those of us that do, and have driven a million more miles than you, have observed how people drive both here and in the west, and if you think it's the same, you're blind.

I knew where music originated back in high school. Just posted it for you to see..Archaeological evidence of music has been found in many ancient societies, including Egypt, China, India, and Greece...The earliest objects that are widely accepted as musical instruments are bone flutes from the Upper Paleolithic period......The Divje Babe flute, a perforated cave bear femur, is at least 40,000 years old.

Assuming again.

Music first arose in the Paleolithic period, though it remains unclear as to whether this was the Middle (300,000 to 50,000 BP) or Upper Paleolithic (50,000 to 12,000 BP). The vast majority of Paleolithic instruments have been found in Europe and date to the Upper Paleolithic.

You are still missing my point, so read these next lines a few times so it sinks in................ Everyone here, including me, knows why accidents happen, as we are all in our 60's and beyond and have been driving roads for a long, long time. Everything you quoted we knew many years ago. There are reasons accidents happen and we are well aware of them. DO NOT THINK YOU KNOW WHAT OTHERS DO OR DON"T KNOW! That's assuming, and it's how an uneducated person thinks. People in America are fully aware of the road safety that's needed. People are involved in accidents there mostly because of cell phone use, besides the drunk drivers. Most of the deaths and accidents that happen here involve scooters. In the west it's vehicles. People on scooters think they can weave in and out of traffic, which cars cannot do unless there are spaces between the cars. This is how many of them get into accidents here. Selfish behavior, thinking they can do whatever they want. You must not drive around Thailand much or are another of the brown nosers that feel the need to stick up for their bad behavior. The attitudes towards life, and driving here, are not the same as in the west. They know the laws but do not care to follow them. My example of a dad wearing a helmet while 4 others on the scooter don't proves this. He knows drivers need to wear helmets, and that all passengers are supposed to, and that scooter use means only two passengers. He thinks by wearing a helmet he won't get pulled over and he's right, as the police here are severely lacking in road enforcement. What point you're missing in all of this is that no matter what roads, enforcement, infrastructure or laws are available to Thai drivers, and all drivers, it's still the DRIVER'S responsibility to drive safe. A good driver slows down on bad roads and in bad weather. A bad driver thinks they can drive the same, until they find out the hard way. You thinking Thai drivers are better drivers than western is ignorance.

Are you talking about all books or just books on driver safety? I mentioned I took my drivers test at 17, 51 years ago, and the classes had their books, which all in America had to read to pass the test, along with the videos. Those who took driver's ed also had more material available. What you've been quoting all along I'm sure everyone here from the west already knew, as our tests are a lot harder than they are here. And we didn't have phones to escape to while the classes were taken, meaning if we didn't pass the test, we didn't get a license.

You like that, try this. Some of the best players around............

Peoples opinions on music mean little. See how long some bands took to get elected into the hall of fame and see how much crapola got there easy. Pop music is huge, although it's the least talented musicians and much of it is soulless pap. All personal taste and a lot of people like music they can dance to. Much of the best music will never be heard by the masses.

You actually think the Carsick Cars compares to any of those three????

They're all good, and different. One is pop rock, one is melodic rock and one is progressive rock. Can't compare them. They all have music that crosses over to other rock genres.

I was 17 when I took my drivers test. They have books in classes, along with videos. If you have access to the internet, which you obviously do, you can research what books are available about driver safety. The books I've read have no bearing on this, as do any you've read. Anyone can look up most anything online and quote it here. You keep coming back. Why? You still don't understand others in the world know what you do about driver safety, and a lot more .The material is available for everyone to read. What you fail to understand is that attitudes on driving can't be changed by a test or a book.

Which I was involved in.
