Stars aren't distorted, as stats are facts. Opinions can be wrong, distorted,biased, prejudice, as they are made by humans, who can lie. That things are hidden and distorted means humans are behind this , for one reason or another. You have to be careful what you read as much of it is biased opinions.

Almost everyone has a routine that works for them. The only ones that don't are the homeless, who rely on getting by anyway they can. When you retire, the routine that you had, besides waking up and going to work, stays with you. After working all of your life for someone else, now you can do whatever you want, at your speed, and I'm sure many are like me, waking up early, eating breakfast, then either going to the gym, working around the house, watching more TV, reading books, taking care of your young children if you have them, at least part of the time, spending time with your partner, going out to eat, then going to bed after watching some more TV together. All parts of a routine just adjusted because there isn't a 9 to 5 anymore. I'm sure the people you see at bars at 9AM, talking to Bob, Reg, Charlie or georgegeorgia, are still in a routine. Then they'll go to the restroom to pee, and you'll follow them, which is part of your routine, to ask them what it's like being old and going to bars. Then you'll go outside, and wonder, why do all expats use walkers, when actually most don't, but that's still part of your routine. You went to Thailand and was accosted by monkeys, and you went to the police to file a complaint, but since you couldn't pick out the monkey in a lineup, they couldn't press charges. Instead of doing a "study tour" when you visit other counties, try having a good time, stop being nosey, realize you yourself is getting older by the day, stop looking at all older expats as cripples, which they aren't, and spend more time doing things positive for others, and also yourself, and when you go back home, you'll have better memories while you're mopping those floors in paradise.

Or have a lot of money, as most couples who are lopsided. Most hot women look for money first, or at least second if there's some attraction at first. Seeing so many average to overweight men with hot women shows this. If you took money away and had everyone with the same amount, then we wuld see more balanced couples together, first because of mutual attraction, and then lasting because of compatibility.

Or don't care

No, if the musics too loud in the early mornings or late evenings during the week, they're inconsiderate. Some people sleep at night, work during the day. Some are very old, so yes, they need sleep to be healthy. Loud music has it's place, at concerts. Not blasted at 5 in the morning, although it's been done here for a long time. It's still inconsiderate, and saying they respect their elders and do this is BS.

People who do have children teach them not to act like children when they reach adulthood. Some parents don't, which is why some act like they don't know what restraint means. This isn't a child. He's an adult acting like a teenager.

They've eaten all that is legal to eat, and much that wasn't, and Thailand isn't known for dog or cat eating like Vietnam and Korea is. If it was, you wouldn't see many cats or dogs around. Lizards are eaten, but mostly the bigger ones. Any birds they can shoot are shot, but most birds don't have enough meat to bother with. Luckily for some animals, some smart people set aside land as p[arks where no hunting is allowed, although some do poach. Monkeys were prevalent in much Thailand at one time, but now are localized in the parks and some cities like Lopburi, where tourist dollars has them popular, although they cause a lot of problems. Netting is done all over, and all fish are kept, as conservation means little here.

Loud music happens all the time, as no one cares about others enough to turn it down, especially in early mornings or late evenings. Having the country partying isn't a bad idea, but if you take all the deaths, injuries and fights that happens, it doesn't end up as fun for some. People aren't scared of getting wet, it's just that they want to go to restaurants and don't want to sit eating drenched.

It's supposed to be a time of cleansing, community sharing and elders, but nothing changes every year, so it's really just a holiday to get drunk and hopefully not die while driving.

Move to japan and enjoy a better life. More to do, less corruption, better food, less of what you speak of. This country will be a long time before changes are made.

If I didn't dislike the cold, I would love to live in farmland Illinois. Some of the best deer hunting on earth.

If there were more than one God, we would surely see evidence of rivalry. If there were 3000, there would be chaos.

That doesn't mean you can't share them with others. It means they are yours, and you shouldn't preach them. I share my beliefs, and tell others about God. It's up to them what they do next, as I'm not pushy. It's alright if you believe that God doesn't exist. When you die, you'll meet him as we all will, and they you can explain yourself why. I just meant not be pushy.

The same with myself, although I didn't know it was Covid the first time. The second time I did. Most people aren't affected by Covid anyway, but we didn't know this at the time.

No, I meant just what I said. Muslims believe in God, and call him Allah. Same God. That God has us believe in just faith gives us the chance to decide without proof, which is, faith. I would prefer him to be around also, but he's God, so he makes up the rules.

The only difference in that, is that I don't make stupid replies but you surely do, as that one was. Of course there are animals in Thailand. Many dogs and cats, plus elephants. Most wildlife is in protected parks. If they weren't, they would be Pad Krapow. Snakes are killed here daily, and some leave them alone,, as all snakes aren't tasty. If they were all good to eat like Rattlesnakes, they would be eaten all the time. Dogs and cats are domestic animals,. and not eaten here like they are in Korea and Vietnam. If they were, you wouldn't see many around. People get hurt here by elephants mostly because they are cruel to them, or they are protecting their young. People get hurt by animals because they are treated bad, they don't know how to handle them, or they are wild animals that should be left alone and unpredictable.

Many people don't know anyone who died, but there's a lot of people we don't know in this world. I know of two that were friends of a friend, and others that were acquaintances of family.

You can post as many opinions you want, but the facts are there.

Actually a lot of doctors and nursed died, along with many fit, healthy, young people. I know of two that were friends of a friend, a wife and husband, middle aged, no prior sickness. Very young children probably didn't require them as they're bodies are very strong as far as fighting off illnesses. What they did they thought was needed, as people were dying by the thousands and they didn't see this happening with regular flus. When young, healthy people die from something new, they panic, not knowing what needs to be done. Of course most that died were older and somewhat weak.

Those are stats, and a person can believe whatever they want, as shows with many taking other's opinions on things, and dismissing experts who do this for a living. How many died? How many died that were vaccinated? How many died who weren't? Stats.Most that died weren't vaccinated, so it's up to you to believe or not.

Miniskirts are legal to wear, have been for as long as they've been around, and nothing is an invitation to rape a woman. That's a mental illness where power and control is used. It's quite different than leaving your key in the ignition, which invites theft. A woman might tease the wrong man if she's wearing a miniskirt and flirts, thinking it doesn't affect some weirdos with no self control. It's never a woman's fault if someone victimizes her.

True, in many states. In Texas where I'm from , they don't under age 18.

Does it matter how fast a vaccine came out as long as it works? Mandatory was here to save people, as they didn't fully know what to do besides what they did. People aren't likely to take a vaccine if it comes out that fast, being suspicious, and not knowing if it had side effects, as all vaccines do, because it wasn't tested long enough. I wanted to travel, and not die,as I didn't know what this new disease could do to me, so I took the vaccine. It's always a risk. I don't do the yearly flu shots and never have, but this wasn't the flu.

Starting out selling anything gives children a sense of pride, making their own money. It doesn't matter what it is, and everyone buys lemonade when they see kids selling it for that reason. They know.

I meant you believe what you believe and I do the same, with no need to try and dismiss. I believe in the only God we have. It's all about faith. Why he doesn't show himself is his deal, although it would prove to others he exists and more would follow him.
