  1. Or they really love their partner who gives them more than a friend can. Or they live in an area without many others like himself, so he can't relate to the locals because he can't speak the language.
  2. I don't have to know anyone who has one. Fact is, they exist, as doctors have proven. Your next door neighbor might have one,or be a serial killer, burglar, drug dealer or rapist. Fact is, you don't know but a fraction about anyone you've ever met, especially if they have an STD, which most people won't let out.
  3. Some, trollers, do exactly that. Low self esteem or narcissism shows it's ugly head, arguing because they always think they are right, even when proven wrong. Some just post things to get a rise out of people, or a laugh. Some target certain people who have proven them wrong before, and they feel the need to argue with those people just because. Some think they are actually smarter than people they've never met, which is usually due to low self esteem. Instead of just sitting back and learning from others, they have to jump in and try and prove them wrong by posting links by people who make opinions on subjects, just because they believed them before.
  4. This is a place for expats who have spare time to argue about things interesting and nonsensical.
  5. God isn't an employer, so leave that one out. I actually do "get it" Personal preferences are what you like. If you like a certain culture, good. I like some of all cultures, but don't live in a certain country because of it's culture. I moved here because I have a daughter here, and will stay until I can re-establish back home, where she and I will have a much better life. You've never lived, or probably have never even visited Mexico. I was less than 200 miles from Mexico, and went there hunting many times, along with fishing. What makes Mexican and Puerto Rican culture disgusting? Does the food upset you, or do you not like the countries for some reason, or are you prejudiced against Latinos for some reason? It doesn't matter what culture you like. It's all personal preference in where you choose to live. If living here makes you happy, stay, but don't comment on things you know little to nothing about. Mexicans are dying to get out because they have a huge, poor population that wants to make money. They work their asses off for little money to survive. Kinda like here. The problem isn't Mexicans coming to the US illegally. The problem is rich Americans hiring them.
  6. Yes, I go by facts, and you make guesses based on others opinions.
  7. Showing your prejudice there GG. I lived 32 years next to San Antonio, and had many friends and acquaintances that are Mexican. Like the food, music is okay, and they're mostly Christians like myself. Never a problem with them at all. A mixture of cultures is what makes America great. More to choose from. Asia has millions of other foreigners living in all Asian countries, so you're out of luck looking for an area with just Asians, unless you hide in the country. And again, you haven't been to the US, living there, for decades, so you can't comment on it. It's still much the same besides like I said, more people.
  8. You're the one making statements based on opinions and videos, not actually being there. I was there from 1956 to 6 years ago, and have visited, plus have many friends and family still there. It's still the same besides the larger population and growth from it. If you lived in the country of Vermont or anywhere else small town , and didn't wander much past that, then you're still stuck in that mentality, as all who still live in small town USA are. I lived in big cities, just outside them, and in the country, and it's still much the same besides that urban sprawl. Can't guess if you haven't been there for decades.
  9. That was a mistake I corrected. I knew it was started with a H. You can't point out guessing at anyone's scores, as you don't know them. In any event, she graduated. Doesn't matter if you're a valedictorian or had all B's. Being the president doesn't require much in the way of high intelligence, as has been proven, especially the last one.
  10. You can fill out an FPCA, send it in, and receive your ballot in the mail, but again, you said you don't vote so it's moot point. If you miss the "cultures" of America, meaning it's a combination of many, move back,as I will.
  11. Kamala Harris was born in California. If you don't want to vote, or don't vote, why bother posting topics involving voting? She has a bachelors from Stanford and a J.D. from Howard, so she's hardly poorly educated. I'm not a political person, seeing things as they are from the outside, but she seems to have the stuff to be a decent president, and anyone not blind sees trump for what he is.
  12. You're really talking about the women some buy here,that they aren't proud being with, don't want to be seen with around their friends, or secretly despise even though they get pleasure from them, for a price. A good woman a good man wants around as much as possible. If she wants to work, that's her prerogative, and he waits home for her. This is why having a woman closer to your age is better. Most younger ones work, or want to, even if they are getting money from a foreigner, of course subtracting the greedy or lazy., who lie around all day on their phones waiting for the next withdrawal.
  13. No, I just post facts. Opinions mean nothing, and if you don't believe medical journals, then live your life on opinions. Fear mongering? STD's happen, daily, and here a very high amount happen. People die from them, and get things they can't get rid of. Could happen with anyone. First time, fifteenth time, but eventually you will get at least one if you're buying women. As far as everyone you know not having something, people lie, exaggerate and avoid. That's what they do.
  14. You don't have to pay anything more than taking care of them after you're married. Extortion only works if you let it happen. It's still a choice we make if you fall in love. And it's still a choice if you want to stay with anyone who's manipulating you. No woman alive is worth anything unless they are a faithful, loving, caring, and trustworthy partner. The rest just give the others a bad name.
  15. Mai pen rai is how so many get away with so much here, yet it's used daily with everything under the sun. It will never happen to me is how so many get sick with diseases also.
  16. You really don't understand do you? If you did more research and didn't post on topics you don't know anything about, you would not look like you do.
  17. Guess you also forgot her nickname, Hanoi Jane, and why she got it. Kamala is a proven entity and would be a good president, and her being elected would get Trump and his disturbed thinking out for good.
  18. Posted a clip online of assault against her mother is enough to arrest and prosecute. I hear about this happening a lot, and not much is ever done until it escalates and someones dead. Disrespect for women here runs rampant and it's glorified on daily lakorns. It's a fathers job, if he's actually around, to teach respect for women, but in a culture that looks at women as inferior, this point will never get across and this will go on and on.
  19. Denial is the easiest way for people to let bad things happen..........https://www.webmd.com/sexual-conditions/antibiotic-resistant-std-faq.
  20. Exactly, and many are carriers of especially genital herpes, which doesn't go away and 1 in 4 have it............https://www.lumahealth.com/sexually-transmitted-infections-sti-and-sexual-health/
  21. You'll find the same here in increasing quantities. And also find women tight as a drum that have had children in America. Here, most older men go after much younger women. Women in their 20's look good in every country. Difference here is that many here will go with older men because of their assets, whereas in the west they are more independent and not feel the need to go with older men to take care of them. Subtracting the gold diggers of course.
  22. Yes, in science there is always a doubt. In reality, there are things that are proven facts.
  23. Yes, some people have their own opinions and are prone to argue what are proven facts, but that's their deal. A person can grow up in a situation where all they hear is certain music being played, and might like it, but since they haven't been exposed to other types of music, this is all they know. When they grow up being surrounded by all kinds of music , like I and millions of others have growing up in developed countries, we are attracted to what we like, and don't go by what others say. There will always be sheep that follow others for one reason or another, but with all the media available these days, there will always be more options to listen to, and more things to be attracted to. I have friends from way back in the early 70's that still like what they listened to back then, while I have searched out a lot of other music all these years and have become very eclectic. They weren't influenced by culture but by personal preference, along with everyone else I've known all my life. People like things they are exposed to because they like them, are attracted to them, or like how they look or taste. Thinking people like things because they are part of a particular culture is narrow minded. People might be exposed to a certain culture, like Thai, and like it because they took part in some of it, like the women, food or music. It's still attraction after the fact.
