Why is having a child at 19 a bad decision? He could be a good worker, provider for his family, and besides the mistake of not wearing a helmet in a country known for bad drivers, roads and lack of enforcement of road rules, be also a good dad and husband. There are countless people, many of them narcissists, that have children every year with no feelings for them or the women they create them with besides their own pleasure. This comes at all ages, not just in the teens. Not wearing a helmet anywhere is playing with fire. Here, it's plain foolish to get on a road with many vehicles going at all speeds, with people who are totally incompetent, inconsistent, on phones, inconsiderate and lazy, and not wear as much protection as possible while driving a scooter.

Look up the definitions of empathy and sympathy. How is it that people who donate to help an unfortunate one are Christian do gooders? This means you aren't a believer and also that you believe it takes a Christian to be a donator. Go Fund Me's are for people who need help because they can't afford a treatment for themselves or family, friends that suffer from a disease, accident or tragedy. Most of these, from what I've researched, are legitimate. Some aren't. Some get a lot of money looking to buy a laptop, or in another case, a Starbucks employee that wanted to be a dancer, received thousands of dollars because he made a lady leave Starbucks because she didn't have a mask on during the Covid deal, and she complained about him to a manager. Try looking at the crowd funding sites before you comment. You'll see people suffering from cancer, many young children, who haven't the resources to pay for treatment. Treatment which should be paid for by the government, like Canada and other places do, including Thailand for it's citizens. People die daily because they can't afford insurance. There are millions in poverty worldwide who could use a crowd funding site to keep themselves or a family member alive. There isn't such a thing as a "real" job. All jobs are real. Many get paid a lot of money for ruining the planet, poisoning people by over medication, or just moving money around. These people can afford insurance, but aren't contributing to society. Many who are hard workers all their lives can't afford retirement. Look up narcissism. It matches a lot of people in the world, and many who are world leaders. These people also don't care for or can't stand others who are in need.

Her options are to file charges like any normal mother would to ensure this predator is held responsible for attacking an underage girl. The more these animals are allowed to get away with these kinds of crimes, the more will commit them. In a country where fathers are more absent than most anywhere on earth, this is something girls, and women, should take into account before having children . The justice system, as weak as any on earth, allows many crimes to go unpunished or at the least, to be paid off. Men here aren't paying child support unless they are foreigners, and the men here know this, so they have sex with as many women as they can dupe, and the kids more than likely will end up with grandma. Most every story we hear like this has no father around, or in this case, a stepfather, who are the most likely to be predators when a rape is committed when family is involved. This is a harsh offense on a child. There is not recourse besides full punishment. The mother can work to support her family. If people care about having kids, they have to do what is responsible for them. That means working, protecting them, and keeping them away from predators by teaching them how men are. Of course this won't stop all rapes, but it will cut the amount down. Thais seem to survive with family help all over Thailand. You don't see the amount of homeless you do in other countries. Many have up to 10 living in a small house, all chipping in on the farm to make sure they have rice every day. They are survivors and seem to always get by with little money, so looking at how this woman will feed her kids isn't really an issue. This "man" is human garbage, and should be treated as same.

Just need to be smart about training. I remember jumping off a freight train because it started to move, and I didn't want to walk the miles back when it stopped again. It was probably about 15' high to the ground and I didn't think about it, along with jumping off anything up to 10 feet high. Now I wouldn't think of jumping three steps , thinking it might hurt my aging joints. I don't think about the heavy dumbbells I used to move around like they were nothing. I just start fairly light and go slow, working up until I feel a little pain, then stop. I had (have_?) two torn rotator cuffs from heavy benching, and they still cause my thinking to be, better safe then sorry and not being able to lift at all. I remember seeing Frank Zane when I worked at GNC back in 1980 or so, right about when he won Mr. Olympia in 1978. He wasn't any bigger than I, just a little more ripped, and he said I looked good. Now I see him at 81 and he looks much like many in their 80's. It's sad we have to lose what we worked so hard to achieve, but that's life. The body isn't supposed to last forever, but regular exercise, and more important, better eating, makes aging less painful.

Worked out since 17, 3-4 times a week. 67 now. Been eating well all long. Never did drugs, but was still one of the strongest all around in lifts in most gyms I went to, at 175-178 lbs. Looked like Rambo (almost, no hgh used, at age 50) Now work out very little lately and feel like crap. Joints are hurting because of all the heavy lifting so I've slowed down as far as weight poundage, and try to get to gym 30 KM away at least once a week, although th gym doesn't open until 2PM and I usually, all those years, worked out early mornings. I hate that I'm not like I was before, and as soon as I can, will get back to it because it's not me. Power lifting while bodybuilding isn't necessary anymore. Just moderate weights and more reps, which we need as we get older. Still eat healthy, but muscle size has gone down and bodyfat has increased a little. Weigh almost 170 but not the same as before by a long shot. If you're a gym person like me, you will surely miss it. I do mow a large yard twice a month, and water every other day by hand, so I get some exercise, but it's not near the same as before. Energy level has gone down because of this, and keeping muscle on as long as possible is very important as you age. It's not something you let go too easy, although I am lazier now. But in my mind it's not right.

Making it to 90 is huge. Many don't. Suggest things to him and let him decide. Nothing wrong with having company of a lady at any age, especially since he lost his lady. The body ages but the mind stays strong much of the time, unless encumbered with dementia. This doesn't seem to be the case so let him have as much fun as he can while he's still around. A bucket list is what we all should have. I waited many years raising children (still am) and haven't traveled like I wanted to. If you don't do things, you can't do them when you've passed. Time waits for no one.

I was responding to your statement," Why would he give money to some drunken British pub knob?"

115/54 on average Resting pulse 58

Maybe because he stabbed him with a bottle? You can get compensation from some government agencies also, in the UK and America.

A person can murder and still get bailed out, so this isn't unusual.

This is exactly why most locals think all farangs are rich. Fact is, most farangs are alike. They get by monthly and have to pay bills which eat much of their pay, even while retired. Building houses, meaning huge out of proportion to the local area, makes the locals jealous, and isn't a good thing for relations between. Gossip here is as huge as anywhere on earth, and much gossip is derived from jealousy. If the locals knew the truth about most farangs, they wouldn't be talking negatively about us and realize we are a lot like them. Some more money and things, but the need to pay more for them, so our higher pay balances out the same. Many Americans, and this does mean many, live paycheck to paycheck, and have huge credit card bills monthly, or they wouldn't have what they have in possession. many lose their homes and autos daily. This isn't news to the locals here, as I hear myself from my girlfriend, who's pretty smart on things farang and knows how much many of us make. It isn't what a lot of her friends think, as some of them get cash monthly from farangs overseas, and they brag about getting this free money, many times with no intentions of ever meeting the men who send it. The ones who don't have contact directly with an idiot sending money think we all have a lot of money to throw around. People building huge houses where the rest of the area has old, mainly wooden structures which leak air, have bugs and vermin running around, no AC and where most of them sleep on the floor on mattresses, aren't helping with the thinking of these locals but furthering their attitudes that we're all wealthy. This leads to jealousy between friends here, when some have farang mates who give them everything, the rest just get by on 300 baht a day, and the gossip never ends. It's always better to fit in . having a nice house is fine, with AC, so you live the life you used to back home, wherever that was, but being extravagant just to show off isn't a good thing. A lot of farangs had jobs that ruined the environment, hurt others, developed areas that didn't need development, or moved money around just to benefit the rich. The rest of us worked many years to get to where we could retire, in jobs that helped out the world and it's people. People here brag daily on what they have. Many are liars, and some are these types, who didn't do much with their time besides hurt our world. Again, better to fit in than stand out. Jealousy comes easy for the majority of the world's population, who either just get by, or struggle to make ends meet.

I posted one link that shows the violence. I saw many others, including one that's not supposed to be posted here, if you know which that is. That will show the 70%. This is just one....................https://thediplomat.com/2020/10/thailand-has-a-gender-violence-problem/

This is one case where an underage driver caused a fatal accident and was ordered to pay. I'm assuming this follows your Thai law question.........................https://www.nationthailand.com/in-focus/30374272

You have to read all of the words a member posts or you'll miss something. And I'm not one to use a word salad, as I know what I'm talking about by research on subjects. It seems you are the one confused though.

I don't care if anyone takes me seriously. I don't make opinions. They mean nothing. I have posted links here and in other threads. All you have to do is look up violence towards women in Thailand and you'll see what I have for many years before I even moved here. I also see it in the way a girlfriend and an ex live their lives, as I have before back in America. It affects every relationship a woman has with a man in her life, and her self esteem is hit with it, as a victim and also if she didn't do anything to prosecute the perpetrator.

I have many times in many posts regarding this subject. If you're the kind that doubts everything you read, I can't help you.

Try google search. It might open your eyes.

True, but past history is usually a huge factor in future actions, so I'm assuming this might be still valid, but you never know. People saying America is such and such don't seem to realize that America is comprised of all countries in one place, some countries having more individuals living there, but everyone's predecessors are from somewhere else. This is why I'll never understand the bashing that goes on. Every country has idiots and good people, and most depend on others for trade purposes, so are needed. In America you can google where convicted pedos live. I haven't checked if this also goes for other countries but it's something people should be aware of, as pedos, serial killers, molesters and the like, all live next to someone, although serial killers aren't usually let out after conviction.

Video was on TV. Looks like self defense from what you can see. Carrying a gun off duty I assume is allowed here. If someone came after me with a knife or machete, I would use anything I could to stop him. If I was carrying a weapon, like in the US where it's allowed in many places, I would aim for a shoulder or leg if I had the chance, especially if it was only I involved and not a family member who was at risk of death. He did go to the house to retrieve a phone, as it's said, and brought his weapon for whatever reason he came up with. Going to the victims home is why he was held without bail, under Thai law. The victim was the boyfriend of the policeman's driver, his stepdaughter .

Click the Thaiger link, and read it. The aunt was guilty as well. The child is only 11, and no matter her actions, they are of a child, who was obviously not being protected well until something happened. The aunt left her in a truck with the perp, which is something no one should ever do with a girl of any age.

This is only to verify what he said, and not an opinion of mine, as there are quite a few pedos in every country. Why some countries lead others is noteworthy, but this was from 2014.............https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/child-sexual-abuse-top-5-countries-highest-rates-1436162

Also true, because justice, especially in other countries, is dealt out. Mayhem is what we have daily worldwide. A lot of what happens much of the world never hears about, especially the news here. Some people are given the death penalty being innocent, and many are set free who are guilty. Money, corruption and irresponsible officials are the cause for this.This is why many take the law into their own hands, like in Haiti recently with the vigilante justice on gangs there. Something has to change and most of us know what that is.

I'm very active on daily worldwide news , and never make anything up. facts are the only thing one should go by. There are various posts online you can find, including one from that unnamed source. Over 31,000 cases last year, and that's just ones that are reported.....................https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/general/40031638
