https://mythailand.blog/2017/02/24/thailand-topless-women/ And guess who started the puritanical disgust of women's bare chests in Thailand? From the article above. I won't show the photos so as not to upset anyone. "That’s not to say all women went topless in public in Old Siam. But 125 years ago, a woman at the market baring her breasts was not the moral showstopper it would be today. Things started changing around the mid-19th Century. That’s when White colonialists from England, Holland, and France starting showing up in the Siamese Kingdom. These Europeans would be entertained at the Royal Siamese Court and shown around early Bangkok. Most Thai women went topless back then, including the consorts of the Royal Court. The expressions on these White, puritanical faces must have been priceless when they were confronted with a half-naked Thai woman in public. These men came from horridly repressed cultures about sex. (“Blow out the candles”! Even during sex the naked body shouldn’t be viewed.) Such displeasure and discomfort did not escape the notice of the Siamese rulers. They wanted Europeans to respect them. They had to make deals with these colonialists and didn’t want their culture to be judged immoral. And so beginning in the mid-19th Century, the Siamese Royal Court began to encourage women to cover their breasts, at least in public. It took decades to accomplish this fashion change as women in rural Thailand persisted in going topless in public even as late as the 1920’s-1930’s."

Talk about a busybody. I hope she told you to mind your own f***ing business.

Trump won because the Democrats were all of the above. They lost the unlosable election twice, if not three times. That's the height of stupidity. You couldn't be much dumber than that...

Didn't they win the election? Trump is the biggest winner ever and pulled off historic victories no one thought was possible. You guys complaining about him are the biggest losers. Nothing you say is worth reading. How can you sleep at night? It must be tough.

I didn't get a TM6 form to fill out last September when I arrived. I thought they had scraped it years ago.

Musk's US companies employ roughly 125,000 people who might not be so happy about it. He's also the biggest taxpayer in US history, and he has more right to help reduce government waste than any other person in the US.

Don't be ridiculous! The only reason Ukraine held out more than a few weeks is due to Europe, and mainly your countries' military aid.

Agree. It's the most ridiculous poll I've ever seen. Are members getting bored?

No imagination is required - I know how bad this is going to be - it's total destruction, and everyone except a few lucky people has perished in the rubble.

Not at all; the building disintegrated into a large pile of rubble. No one survived that, and a lot of anonymous people have lost their lives. RIP to all who passed today.

Yes, I had one person claim that already. I asked if they were waiting for the earthquake to set off the charges. They timed it well, considering this was the first destructive earthquake in the 2 centuries of Bangkok's history, and in the 200 years, just over 20 earthquakes.

I'm expecting at least 90 victims in that building collapse. Don't take it personally, but that's how many are missing so far. You might have missed it, but the building disintegrated. It turned to dust.

Yes, a much more believable figure. The building turned to dust, so most people were crushed, although they wanted to keep people's hopes alive. I suspect a large number of illegal, undocumented workers will be lost in that rubble, so the true figure might never be known.

Powerful earthquakes can make many buildings unsafe even if they remain intact after the first tremor. Evacuation is essential until the buildings can be inspected. I'm pretty sure if you were on the 20th or 30th floor of a highrise, you'd be out on the street, too. There's also a risk of aftershocks, which can collapse buildings weakened from the initial quake. As of 25 minutes ago, there were reports of 169 buildings damaged. RIP, crane operator.

That's the wrong question. 50% of whom?
