  1. You are pushing your own bias and imaginations on to people. The reason why the procedure is done at an early age is because the amount of skin removed is relatively small 1 cm or less and the recovery is fast. The people who are so vocal in their opposition are typically European and are often people with fetishes or emotional instability. Normal people do not obsess over a penis foreskin and they certainly do not invent false "information" to support their claims as many of the fetishists seem to do. The procedure has been around since the dawn of time, and has variations. The common practice amongst multiple different cultures, and the billions of people who are circumcised who are doing ok does suggest there was a shared benefit. They don't need some angry European telling them how to live their lives. If Jesus, and Nelson Mandela were ok, then take the hint not to meddle in other people's genitalia.
  2. Yes I have. It is not a long judgement and can easily be read in 10 minutes. In my original reply I did quote key parts of the judgement. I even provided a link. The court's opinion is not a ruling on gender reassignment. It is a ruling on whether or not the 14th amendment was violated by the TN law. The takaway is that a state can determine what medical treatments can or cannot be administered, which is why I believe Libertarians can be expected to be having fits. It is an example of Big Government reaching into people's daily lives.
  3. A large number of German immigrants most certainly were. The German American Bund was holding rallies in many US cities. The largest was the infamous Madison Square Gardens rally, which had 20,000 in attendance. Huge for the era. The Bund was openly pro-Nazi and engaged in political activities that were anti American. One of the more notorious events was the attack on the German language New Yorker Staats-Zeitung .Their demands included more pro-Nazi articles and more articles denouncing western European democracies. The Bund attempted to take control of multiple German American organizations. Its downfall came when when Socialists and patriotic ethnic Germans participated in a campaign against the Bund. The Bund was eventually undone because of its internal corruption. Revisionist historians would have us believe that the American German community was wholly opposed to the Nazis, when that was not the case. The people who were opposed are those who had fled German persecution and wanted nothing to do with the Germany of old; the Mennonites and other Christians, Jews, and socialists. Most 3rd and older generation Americans who had German heritage, did not consider themselves German, but American and were not interested in the Bund and its hate. The ethnic German socialists were some of the USA's most patriotic and they rallied against the Bund. However, there were still tens of thousands of nazi supporters who had to be dealt with in WWII.
  4. Perhaps, the Israelis, stand out for some, because some people wish to confirm their prejudice? Is it any different than the Africans being stereotyped as drug pushers and thieves. A couple of my Thai friends refer to opportunistic thieves as "Nigeria", as in watch your bag, because there are Nigeria (sic). Not fair and inaccurate. Particularly when there are no Nigerians let alone black people where we are and the thieves at our local beach are usually Europeans.
  5. Where are the "retarded aussies" in the reports? I don't believe that the Australians are the people doing wheelies in Pattaya, kicking doctors, stabbing people, running scam call centers, selling yaba or thieving from other visitors. Sometimes the Australian visitors over indulge and are given to hijinks. They are mostly harmless and are manageable. For the most part, they are like Nordic visitors in their treatment of the locals, leaning to kindness and civility. When is the last time you ever saw an Australian screaming or berating a local server in a restaurant, or complaining about the heat or a few insects buzzing about as others do?
  6. Alot of trouble? Do you have any data to support your claim or are you just biased. A review of the stories, for the past month featured, English, American, Russian Swedish, French,German and Chinese offenders.
  7. There is a way to do this. I don't think it is allowed for one to explain how.
  8. Oh look, another person who can not comprehend basic science.
  9. The Iranian regime has been opposed to the UK and USA since the mullahs took over. Jewish colonial project? Jews have always been in Israel. Jews come from the region of Judea. You are blaming the UK now. What do you think Turkey was doing occupying the Middle East? The UK and France filled the power vacuum after the Turkish Empire collapsed. Why are you fixated on Israel? You do know that the same process that recognized Israel created Jordan, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia. It also recognized the borders of Egypt, Syria and Iraq. If Israel is a colonial project started by Egypt, then every country in an land previously dominated by the UK is not legitimate. That means that the USA is not a legitimate nation.
  10. Nonsense. That's Schumer trying to get some political traction.The limited action was withing the powers of the President. There was no war declaration. How many times does it have to be repeated that Iran did not consider the agreement as a limitation on its pursuit of nuclear arms? The Iranian leadership stated that within a week of the agreement. Pakistan has nominated the President for the Nobel Peace Prie for his work in defusing the India Pakistan war. They were already backing Iran. No. Iran and Hamas launched their attack to block the peace agreement between Saudi Arabia and Israel that was in the works.
  11. More nonsense from you. Iran was instrumental in propping up the Assad regime - Approx. 650,000 dead 14 million refugees. Iran supports Houthis and was instrumental in civil war - Approx. 250,000 dead 2 million refugees Iran supports Hezbollah as a state within Lebanon and has tried to overthrow the Lebanese government Depending upon when one starts the meter, tens of thousands dead, and hundreds of thousand refugees. Iran proxy tried to overthrow Bahrain government. Iran backed militants tried to sabotage UAE Iran backed Shiite militias have tried to continue a civil war. Iran backed Hamas and its terrorism. Iran has tried to assassinate Trump Iran is pledged to the destruction of the UK Iran is pledged to the destruction of the USA. Tell us again how only Israel has a problem with Iran.
  12. Get a grip. This was a limited target specific event. Nuclear risks were reduced.
  13. Do you have any data to support your statement? The data I see shows an increase in both foreign residents and tourist visitors. In respect to foreign residents; As a hub for intraregional migration and main destination country in Southeast Asia, Thailand hosts at least 5.3 million non-Thai nationals, marking an 8 per cent increase compared to nearly 4.9 million non-Thai population as indicated in the last report. 2024 data from https://www.who.int/thailand/news/feature-stories/detail/thailand-migration-report-2024#:~:text=As a hub for intraregional,indicated in the last report. Perhaps some foreigners with marginal incomes, or in ill health or who cannot satisfy the visa requirements have departed. They have been replaced by other people who can.
  14. Another wind up from a newly minted name.
  15. Come back and lecture me when you have read the ruling.It is obvious that you have not.
  16. What are you on about? Seriously. The judgement has nothing to do with what you are claiming. Have you read the court's opinion? Please take the time to do so, because you are attaching your own opinion to the court's. This was a case in respect to the existing Constitutional provision that relates to Equal Protection Guarantees. The court was not ruling on the validity of gender dysphoria. The court opinion is very clear; The Court’s role is not “to judge the wisdom, fairness, or logic” of SB1, but only to ensure that the law does not violate equal protection guarantees. It does not. The court opinion Held that Tennessee’s law prohibiting certain medical treatments for transgender minors is not subject to heightened scrutiny under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and satisfies rational basis review. The TN law incorporates two classifications: one based on age (allowing certain medical treatments for adults but not minors) and another based on medical use (permitting puberty blockers and hormones for minors to treat certain conditions but not to treat gender dysphoria, gender identity disorder, or gender incongruence). Classifications based on age or medical use are subject to only rational basis review. This is a court opinion that gives authority to a state to determine how medical care will be administered. In effect, it allows the state of TN to determine which medical conditions can or cannot be treated. If the health provider choose to classify the gender dysphoria as something else or offer an additional unspecified condition, treatment can still be obtained. Nor is the restriction national. It is specific to one set of circumstances and to one specific state. As I previously stated, a person from TN can obtain the treatments in another state that does not have the restriction. This is not the big deal you make it out to be, and as for the transgender lobby, they too are excited over an issue that will impact only a small number of poor people. As is the norm in the USA, the poor will be denied access to the procedure, while those with money will be able to access it. To put it cruelly and crudely, in the end we will see nicely dressed transgenders, rather than Walmart fashion transgenders.
  17. How many people? Did you review the medical files and know the reason for the procedures? What are your medical qualifications to perform treatment assessment review?
  18. Iran has enriched uranium. Iran is pledged to the destruction of Israel and the elimination of every jew on planet earth. Iran is also calling for the end of the UK and the USA. Would you be ok if you were followed by someone for years threatening to kill you and who had already made multiple attempts, including previous attacks that resulted in the death and injury to your family members? That person was repeatedly given court orders to stay away, but chose to violate them. The person was even incarcerated for a time, but still chose violence. That person was armed and planning to attack again. Would you not intervene?
  19. There was a lead up of many years. Iran has been implicated in much of the regional conflict. It propped up the murderous regime of Assad, creating 14 millions of refugees, many of whom poured into the west. It has tried to overthrow the government of Bahrain, funded subversives in Saudi Arabia, funded the Yemen civil war and Houthi, financed and supported Hezbollah, the Shiite terrorist group who have formed a state of their own within Lebanon, attempted to split and disrupt Iraq through its backing of Shiite militias, funded and armed Hamas, and is sworn to the complete destruction of Israel and Jews. It is also sworn to the destruction of the USA and UK. This makes it a hostile state and a state with a violent and evil intent. The intervention has not come as a sudden event. The initial JCPAO intent was to limit the Iranian nuclear program in return for sanctions relief and other trade and financial provisions. It was supposed to be a waypoint to Iran's agreement to not pursue nuclear weapons. It was obvious that Iran would not respect the intent and the Iranian leadership said so itself. There comes a time when a tough decision has to be made.The fact is that the EU, Russia and China were not able to influence Iran. Iran continued to support and to plan violence. Why should Israel be expected to allow Iran to obtain its desired nuclear war heads and wait to be incinerated? Why should the Gulf Arab nations of UAE, Oman, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia be subject to bullying and threats to overthrow their governments or even be at risk of the Shiities dropping a nuke on the Sunnis? Why should the USA and UK who have been threatened multiple times have to wait until Iran has a live nuclear weapon to threaten them with? Well, there comes a time when the violent sociopath who terrorizes and threatens the neighborhood has to be dealt with. That time is now. The Gulf Arab states, USA, and UK are letting Israel do the dirty work, all the while giving a public display of "concern". As long as China can access the cheap oil ad gas, it won't really care. And if Russia is assured that there won't be another hostile nation in proximity, it may just sit on the sidelines. The west has learnt from past mistakes, and Syria proves that. Despite the loss of an ally in Assad, Russia still has its naval base and operations base in Syria. The hatred for the USA, UK and Israel motivates many people to rally in support of Iran. Take a hint from Shiite Pakistan, which has been surprisingly quiet on the issue. There is a reason for that. Not many in the Sunni Arab world are rallying to help Iran. Why do you think that is?
  20. Is it time already for another military coup?
  21. I think he is regenerating.
  22. Thailand's national team has some personalities; Chanathip Songkrasin, team captain & midfielder. Outgoing personality. James Beresford , defender. Nice guy Ben Davis, midfielder. Women go nuts over him. My friends get very excited when they play, until they lose, and then they are not interested,
  23. Much ado about nothing. The Komodo analysis of insurance claims found 56 genital surgeries among patients ages 13 to 17 with a prior gender dysphoria diagnosis from 2019 to 2021. Hardly, a crisis. The people celebrating probably don't understand what happened: The state now has the authority to decide what health care a minor can receive. The government will decide. Libertarians must be having conniptions. The ruling will not block the surgery, as a minor can still travel out of state to have the surgery.
  24. No one "attacked the dead". Acosta stated a fact: The deceased is buried on a golf course. There was no attack. If you want to see an attack, read the divorce proceeding transcript and the press coverage from the period when Trump was having his affair with Marla Maples. Trump had a child out of wedlock with her. The words exchanged at the time, were not nice.
