Free will has people turning their backs on what's right and wrong, taking what they believe suits their thinking, from how they were raised. as most learn this behavior in childhood.

Aren't they supposed to arrest those who commit sex crimes? High priority in my thinking, getting animals off the streets.

Send him to an American jail for justice.

Just like the Epsteins, Diddys , R. Kellys and Cosbys, they think their power and success comes with freedom to do whatever they want.

I wish I could be traveling where it's been going.

I'm thinking a cut using the ubiquitous machete might not come out right.

It's true the more independence some women get, the more they think they don't need a man and are overly suspicious of them, thinking they will be taken advantage of by male gold diggers. A lot of independent women make good money but their social life suffers. Who's really happy if they don't have someone there? Someone they can trust and also share good times and intimacy with? The best couples I've ever seen in all of my life acted as a team, with both working and both helping at home.

Visited home, Texas, in November last year. Before I was to fly back, I sent two boxes of food and things to myself back here. One in the third week of November and one December 2. The first got here about a week after I returned on December 8, first to the local Post Office and then here. Total time about 3 weeks, which is normal. The second was delayed I'm sure because of the holiday season but, the second still hasn't arrived and I'll show the tracking. December 2, dropped off in Austin TX. December 7 arrived in Chicago. No tracking information afterwards so I filed for a missing package on December 12, as the package should have reached Bangkok on December 8th and gone through customs a couple of days later. Got an email saying the package was (back?) in Chicago the 17th. The next email it arrived in Puerto Rico on January 8th??? Why go to Puerto Rico when all the packages I've ever sent, along with others I knew, go through Chicago and leave O'Hare airport going overseas? It left Puerto Rico the 12th and arrived in Miami the 17th. It then left Miami on International flight the 18th. Today I get an email saying it arrived in Zurich, Switzerland the 21st and then departed the 22nd, with this update.........Your item departed a transfer airport in METROPOLITAN AREA, ZURICH, SWITZERLAND on January 22, 2025 at 6:36 pm. The item is currently in transit to the destination............. Why it's been in three different points instead of going straight to Bangkok from Chicago I don't know. If there was a problem with the label they made it shouldn't have had more than one transfer with the following updates. Has anyone ever had this kind of problem using USPS? .7 weeks and counting.

I'll only go back home. She gets a better education and grows up in a safer, more equal environment and I get to enjoy my hobbies, with no worries about changing laws. She has a much better chance of getting a career which will have her independent than here.

This. Playing the song over in your head until it is finished usually works for me, although if you are really into music, the next song after that one in the album might start up in your head and you'll have the same problem.

If you can't trust your wife, you shouldn't get married. That's a given. She's supposed to be first and foremost in your life. If you can't allow that trust, it's best to stay single .

Of course the USA. I lived there 62 years and only moved here because of my daughter, and my ex didn't want to leave from here,although she hates where she's living now, and always has. Takes time to re establish back home again. Again, I know some like living in SE Asia, because it has what they like. If you have children, there are much better places to live, especially regarding females.

If you haven't noticed how women here are treated yet, you may never . This is a Buddhist country, and Buddhism already looks at women as inferior, at least still now. Change may come but when? I always treat my woman well, although it hasn't always been reciprocated. I tell things exactly how they are. That photo was in response to another . The way children are treated here is one reason I posted that photo. It shows a complete lack of concern for their safety, and the 10 road deaths daily of children bolsters that statement. It doesn't have anything to do with how I feel about this country. Some have a good time here but many are just tolerating what goes on because they rarely leave their villages and are content with what they have. I know for certain many pick up or increase their alcohol consumption here, just as they do in the Midwest in the US, along with drug use. You can drink anywhere and be content, especially if you have a younger partner that's attractive. If it wasn't for that, I'm sure most wouldn't stay here besides the ones who stay single for just that reason. I knew about this country long before I moved here, and the only reason I did was because at that time my ex didn't want to move to the US, and I wasn't about to leave my daughter here with them.

That's all they have near where I live, and she's only 8 so the learning here isn't that important yet, but will be soon. She has to be in the US before she's 10 to keep up with the curriculum there without being behind.

The same as I can say I never saw any crime with guns or knives living in the US for 62 years. It's a big country and if you stay in the village most of the time, you won't see much of anything, and going by news here only shows a fraction of what goes on here daily. It does show a lot though.You can get a bidet or bum gun anywhere, but we get along fine without them in the west. My power is definitely a problem here, PEA, and some have little to none in other areas, so it's the local place where I live that needs work. Some roads around here have always had problems. They fix them when it's not necessary and don't when they need to. Potholes spring up a month after they work on the road, so that's poor maintenance and ability. I've talked to a few other foreigners here who also have trouble with their power source, so it's definitely random.

The problem there is that some who have minor offenses are put in with monsters. Being locked up and not enjoying freedom is a hard thing. It doesn't have to be inhumane.

Have you ever stayed in prison in the US? I've had friends stay there, sleeping in rooms with no air, stifling, cheap blankets. Not what you'd think. Of course more hospitable than here, but not a bed of roses.

Daily, all day long, especially with the scooter habits. They never look behind them or seem to use mirrors.Trust no one is what I tell my girlfriend, because they will do things you wouldn't think a person would. Looking right at you they'll pull out in front of you while you have the right of way, and coming towards you, passing someone, they expect you to pull to your left and slow down, thinking going into your lane gives them the right of way.

Of course, because many live in country areas like I do. I saw it this week, and almost every time I leave during student transfer times I see it, along with buses that are extremely overcrowded. I've been here over 6 years and have seen it many times where they're riding on the top. Just a couple months ago there was an accident shown here where the bus toppled because the driver took a turn too fast and the kids went flying. Thankfully no deaths but many injuries. That's only one incident as all the news countrywide doesn't make the locals.

I'm talking about normal night life and not prostitution, which you can get in all major cities worldwide. Prostitution is illegal in most western areas with some exceptions because morality is higher and more stringent. Thai music is okay, but when they try to copy western, the lyrics do not flow like they do with western music, if you know what I mean by that. They copy, but it doesn't match. Thai original music sounds good. You can't compare Thai music with western, as western, meaning from the US and Europe, is and will always be the best.

Like I said, I see it weekly here. This isn't the big cities we're talking about but country areas, which is most of the land mass and population.

Everything you see here originated somewhere else besides Thai food, and you can get just as good Thai food in many places in the west, with better sanitary conditions. Bar scenes came out of all large cities, and what you see here is copied from the west, meaning pop music, instrumentation and song styles.

Look up stats on Wikipedia about crime here. Most of it you'll never hear about on local news.

You have to live in the west longer to observe what goes on there, and not just go by videos.

I am leaving and largely because of want for a better life for my daughter. Women here are considered inferior, and that isn't what a woman deserves. This I see weekly and have in many areas............
