  1. Ban bus transportation from all of Thailand? It isn't the buses that are any problem unless they fail inspection. It's the drivers who are using cell phones, eating while driving, inebriated or over tired. If they followed protocol, accidents would disappear as far as the buses and drivers being at fault.
  2. True, some people will steal anything if given the chance. Especially when someone makes it easy for them.
  3. It isn't a theory when it's common sense. It's inviting temptation. Someone who wouldn't go through the trouble of hot wiring a vehicle might see the keys and think this is easy, and it happens every day. You are partly responsible for a theft if you leave your keys in the ignition. No keys, no theft.
  4. Everyone was panicking when Covid came out, and their responses were to be understood. Seeing so many dying so fast has people doing anything they can to stop it from happening. What else could they do? This comes from one of the worlds best hospitals, although it's from 2021...............https://wilfordhall.tricare.mil/News-Gallery/Articles/Article/3444174/myths-and-facts-about-the-vax-debunking-common-covid-19-vaccine-myths
  5. Separate one from another. When I said vaccines saved millions of lives, I was mainly referring to previous vaccines for Polio, Rubella, Measles etc. It may also have saved many lives for the Covid vaccine. No one knows as this was an emergency response, getting the Covid vaccine out asap because many were dying from the disease. Calling things poison is wrong without proof. There is no evidence Covid vaccines have cause any deaths but only theories. Yes, some might have caused problems for some, as all vaccines do, but guessing isn't evidence. If I myself knew it would cause the problems some say they are, I would have hesitated to get one, but in the end, I couldn't travel without one so I got it anyway. Things are different now, with immunity in humans helping to lower incidences, and I wouldn't get any more boosters because of it. The Polio vaccine saved many with proof of it, along with others. Scientists didn't have much time to see what the Covid vaccine would do, and got them out fast because of the crisis, and might have saved millions of lives. Until there is valid evidence that they have harmful side effects after the initial minor ones, it's only conjecture, and some people believe what others say because they are scientists or writers with their own opinions on the subject. Yes, many younger people are getting cancer now, but to blame it on one thing doesn't work. When it's proven, then everyone will know. I do agree that the very young were not in much danger from Covid, but some did die so it left them wondering what needed to be done. Children a year old died from Covid yet people 100 caught it and lived, so who's to know what works and what doesn't?
  6. Meaning Covid put them over the edge, and a vaccine could have saved them. Hard to tell, as even I don't know whether I needed them or not. I had Covid at least twice, with mild symptoms. Would I have had more serious symptoms without the vaccine or the same? Impossible to know now.
  7. If you're referring to the Covid vaccines, you might understand that most of the people who died from Covid were unvaccinated. Many never needed a vaccine and took them, because they were afraid of this new disease that was killing so many. Yes, many didn't need it, but who knew?
  8. Humans aren't all susceptible to all diseases, as Covid proved. Some need them, some don't. Some decided they didn't need them, and aren't with us anymore, along with the countless that were given vaccines and warded off many diseases through time.
  9. Assuming I'm some kind of invalid again, when I could run rings around you in any sport, contest or spelling bee. Older people aren't always weak little man, so try and get out more, and see for yourself, and don't lump everyone older than you into one category, because you'd be amazed just how much stronger some are. My sexy ex met max? If you're going to attempt English, use a better translator.
  10. Vaccines aren't for emergency use but to prevent a disease from hurting or killing people.Some seem to doubt the facts they've saved millions of lives, but some don't understand history either.
  11. If people look up to the Kardashians, Tom Cruise, Ted Bundy, Putin and others, they can be fooled by most anyone. Like I said, I hope he does some good this time, and for the average man and not just the rich. That's why he has so many detractors. Most everyone knows his personality and character is off, but in that position, he can help millions if he really wants to. He gets a lot of help from others, as they all did, and this reason is why I don't think one man in charge is right, although things have worked out for the good many times. This is a critical time in the world, and relations with other countries should be getting better. I understand his thinking of "America first", and want to believe it is real, but that could hurt our relations with countries we need.
  12. I never said it was bleach, and provided the actual video for others. This is actually about RFK and his decision to ban vaccines, which are necessary.
  13. Some people are smart enough to make serious choices, even though they worship another in other aspects. I have very smart family and friends who like him, although they know he's a narcissist, misogynist, racist, cheating, felon who has a very limited vocabulary and was only voted in the first time because they thought that since he's a billionaire, he should be a good president. We found out different. Now that he has a second chance to do better, let's see what a year from now brings. It might be a cult to some, hero worship to others, fear of the dark unknown of the other sides weaknesses, or just that he did a few good things, with help, in his first term. Some things were outright stupid, like his wall. You have to be neutral to see these politicians as they really are, only hoping they don't destroy more than they create.
  14. Trump has said he knows everything about Covid, which he didn't, that it was only his ego talking. He had others helping him in his speeches , suggesting the disinfectant. This is more of what his influence carries, which has hurt, and killed, many people, especially when he hesitated closing the borders, something his worshipers swept under the rug, as they do on anything he says, much of it being BS...............https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7685699/
  15. If some didn't care and set aside acreage for parks and wildlife, there wouldn't be an animal left in Thailand.
  16. The US does not let people enter illegally and work there. That happens because rich people hire them. The US is a great country, has everything anyone could ever want, and is why people move there daily. All countries have good and bad things, some more bad than others.
  17. Every month, but it does cost more than the normal rate when sending US to Thailand.
  18. In America, conservation is much stronger and laws are enforced. It's every man for themselves here, and they'll take from their neighbors if given the chance, as I've seen on my own property here. Animals poisoned, fruit stolen, trees butchered. My ex couldn't understand why I grew a lawn, and her cousin next door looks at my grass as food for his buffalo. I let him walk them once in awhile but just enough for a snack. I've been in this house over 6 years and only have seen squirrels a few times, and not in quite awhile. I'm guessing they've been shot. I've seen them shoot birds not much larger than a crow for a few ounces of meat.
  19. Problem there is they're falling on the wrong people.
  20. Yes, meaning tasty and not necessarily healthy choices high in nutrients.
  21. I'm thinking he meant superfoods, meaning high in nutrients. Those are supertastyfoods.
  22. Actually all facts. Besides the amount of garbage US people generate, which is true.
  23. The US has many national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, non hunting areas and forest parks. What they, along with bordering Canada, do have is hunting, controlled, and more wildlife than most other countries besides South America, Australia, Indonesia and India. The US is in the top 10 in biodiversity of wildlife. The US is more highly populated than most other countries, third, and along with that of course comes waste, generated by things (money). The difference being, they don't burn waste like here, burying it so it doesn't cause spread of disease and pollution. If you put a million deer in Thailand, in one week there would be none. Animals here are only protected in those provincial parks, although poaching does happen. You do not see rabbits, squirrels, and other animals roaming around like they are in the west because they are eaten. If monkeys tasted good they would be extinct besides in again, those provincial parks. Elephants here are treated very cruelly in many places. Thailand has around 200 Tigers, the US has approximately 25,000 Mountain Lions, and they're hunted. Americans understand conservation, Thailand is in some places good with it, but generally, if you take in the whole country, very bad. Fishing in America is great in all 50 states and Canada, with many species in plentiful supply, and there is considerably more fishing done in the US than here, and the only places here that have a lot of fish are private lakes, pay to fish, and some of the huge reservoirs. The reason for this is wanton netting, with no limits or conservation done. Al fish are eaten, period. The US states have limits on what and how any fish you can keep daily, and fines if you go over the limits. As far as fat, Thailand is slowly catching up. As far as trees, they are cut down wantonly here for no reason at all. Unlike the Amazon, which is being destroyed daily for greed, trees here are cut down all the time, just because they are there. Instead of loving them for the shade they provide, few are left besides rubber trees and some along watercourses and edges of rice fields, but I have seen many cut down there for no reason at all, and asked them why. They couldn't explain it. When they trim, they butcher. Not cutting the lower hanging branches which only go lower, they cut the tops and they look terrible. If it isn't food, cut it down,and if it is, butcher it for soup.
  24. The chain restaurants, Burger King, McDonalds, Wendys, etc are no comparison to the indie restaurants anywhere. The ones here that people say are good, and that I've tried, are from other countries, mainly the US.
