WWII and Korea had many mishaps and mistakes.JFK was one of them. The personnel can be given a bit more leeway as they were often inexperienced volunteers or conscripts who did not have the training and knowledge that the personnel of the last 25 years have been given. I often wonder what Eisenhower thought of the man. I suggest that a better example is the 2017 USS Fitzgerald collision. Seven sailors died aboard the Fitzgerald, a guided missile destroyer, when it collided with a cargo ship off the east coast of Japan. The Commanding Officer and Junior Officer initially faced charges including negligent homicide, dereliction of duty, and hazarding a vessel. A year later. the charges were dropped. The decision was explained as being in the best interest of the Navy, the families of the Fitzgerald Sailors, and the procedural rights of the accused officers with Both officers received non-judicial punishment. They were removed from their sea duties, but none were treated the way Harvey Milk was. Lt. Milk was harassed and threatened out of the navy despite an otherwise clean record.He was not fairly treated.

The phrasing is used as a metaphor. As usual, you have taken the sentence out of context. “There was something stubborn in me that didn't want to lose weight to attract a man. If the right man came along, he'd be able to see my virtues magically. Once he kissed me, the frog would turn into a prince. I had become a trick question, a heavy disguise, but behind the disobliging exterior was the welcoming child I would always be. Of course, what I'd forgotten was that he was not Parsifal and I was not the Grail; the medievalism of my imagination was not sufficiently up-to-date to recognize that the lover was a shopper and I a product.” It is quite obvious that he is referring to his adult state of delusion, that Mr. Right would come along and transform him. The reference to "child" is in respect to his state of mind, as being innocent and young, even though his appearance was unattractive. Reading comprehension is obviously not one of your skills. I think that a high school student could understand the imagery. It had nothing to do with children and was a baring look at his own self. A powerful introspective statement.

Do you want to have a discussion, like an Oprah Book Club kind of thing? Or do you want a suggestion? If so, you could try this one. I am sure you will find it helpful on those dark and rain filled nights in Cambodia. And don't worry, I don't judge.

How embarrassing to be this man's son.

If you have never heard of him, how would you know what he was? What does a homosexual polemicist look like? Do they have a big gay stamp on their forehead? And how would he justify a lifestyle that has damaged children, if he was an adult , living as an adult and not writing children's novels? Have you been hitting the weed again?

Your comments never fail to disappoint. thank you 🙂

Not personally, but I would see them as I cut through Bangla to get to my crib. When I was in Pattaya, they were all over walking street. And of course they are regularly profiled here on AN like the Sri Lanka man who was rebuffed when the tranny hooker he was trying to molest, turned the tables on him.

Tell that to the depraved homophobes who travel to Thailand to partake in sex with men and transgenders. They love to bash gays, but they also love their buggery.

Harvey Milk was a navy veteran serving during the Korean War. He served aboard the submarine rescue ship USS Kittiwake) as a diving officer and then as a diving instructor in San Diego. After almost 4 years, he was forced out , given the option of resigning and receiving an other than honourable discharge or facing court martial for being gay. Years later, the USN allegedly attempted to cover up the injustice with a document that said he had been given an honourable discharge. Milk had always said he had been mistreated with the forced less than honourable designation. Aside from the gay thing, the man had an unblemished service record. He conducted his gay affairs on shore at his own off base living space, while off duty. It is therefore reasonable that he be honoured with a small vessel named after him. There are incompetent naval captains who have damaged their vessels who were treated better.

Quietness? puhleeeze. The pickup trucks with the loudspeakers blaring painfully loud idiotic advertisements for useless products, or political campaigns, or the mind numbing Tonight, Tonight Boxing at Bangla Stadium. Add to that the modified motor cycle exhausts that are too loud, and the tuk tuks that blare 100db "music". So peaceful.

Carter neglected his business during his time in office. A far cry from what other presidents have done. Yes, Hoover was a successful mining engineer speculator. Unfortunately, he was not much for crisis management.

Tell us you are a bigot without explicitly saying that. Immigrants are not put before native born, Everyone is treated equally. The Canadian pension plan is generous. Canada’s pension plan is the envy of the world, and now we know why https://delve.mcgill.ca/read/canadas-pension-plan-is-the-envy-of-the-world-and-now-we-know-why/# https://www.benefitsandpensionsmonitor.com/pensions/retirement-planning/ranking-the-10-best-pension-plans-in-canada/389735 You miss the fact that the "socialist" policies you bemoan are why Canadian retirees are not doomed to penury. The poverty rate for Canadians over age 65 was 4.7%, according to Canada’s latest census. That’s lower than any other age group in the country and half the poverty rate for U.S. citizens of the same age. There is a generous Old age Security pension and a Guaranteed Income Supplement for the elderly who are poor. Your claim of "hyper socialist" ideals is standard right wing lunatic hyperbole. If you can't get ahead, it is probably because of you and your own attitude, intelligence and skill level and not because of immigrants or socialism. It is always someone else's fault for you and never your own responsibility for what your life is.

Surely you jest? Jimmy Carter's peanut business was successful too, although he was not as wealthy as Hoover.

I couldn't bear reading all of this rambling nonsense. It's like the transcript of a psychiatric institution inmate interview. As soon as I saw the claim of a big conspiracy, I knew this was unhinged. People were done in by their own greed and lust, nothing more. He was a glorified con artist who used his financial schemes as stepping stones. He played the system, sometimes with shady characters and he gathered enough information on the shady people to be able to trade them in every time he was caught doing something questionable. He was no different than a petty criminal who also acts as a confidential informant for the police. His use of pretty girls is the standard M.O. for schemers. It goes on every day at some casinos where managers send over hookers to make sure high rollers are kept happy. it happens on a smaller scale in the major clubs of Thailand, where pretty men and women are assigned to the VIP rooms etc. Musk has nothing on Trump.

Are you sure it is female? It looks somewhat "fabricated" to me.

No. Unfortunately, many of the videos and photos in use by advocates and spokespeople like you are unreliable.

There are tests and reports in most countries. You just are not aware of the methods. In addition to individual tests Waste water is used. Modeling is done on the amount of virus found in sewage. Hospitals are still reporting their covid cases to their state or national health authorities. The information is no longer published regularly in MSM, but is available. For example, Health Canada and UKHSA; https://health-infobase.canada.ca/respiratory-virus-surveillance/covid-19.html\ https://ukhsa-dashboard.data.gov.uk/

Unless you know the circumstances of the fall, it is quite probable that she either pulled or sprained her soft tissue, or struck her chin/jaw as she fell. You do not mention if she had an open or puncture wound. A fall without an open wound would be most unlikely to result in tetanus. Most Thai people have had tetanus vaccination, and while their immunity may have waned, there will still be some residue. Unless she had muscle spasms, fever and sweating with her symptoms, again unlikely to be tetanus. As mentioned above, there is greater likelihood to be an upper respiratory tract infection than anything else, because there are a lot of colds (and covid) circulating now.

Oh my. Is she a love interest or is she coming to apply her technical skills to the maintenance of your living space? The zaghrouta can be irresistible for some westerners.

Performances, worthy of a BAFTA, Golden Globe, Cesar, Goya, Emmy or NIFI depending upon the production from Pallywood. DW had an expose on the Pallywood fakery. it would be funny if gullible idiots were not so quick to accept the images as accurate. https://www.dw.com/en/fact-check-children-used-as-a-propaganda-tool-in-the-israel-gaza-crisis/a-57571541 Remember little Malek? Ohhh Israel was so barbaric. They "murdered" an innocent little girl.in an air strike we were told. There were pictures, and even videos. It was used for numerous tweets in different languages. But in fact, with a simple reverse image search, DW could find out malek was actually Sophie from Russia. The picture had been posted by her mother on Instagram two years ago. DW showed posts in her account that proved prove that the girl was still alive and having fun with her mom at Moscow Zoo. Many, many examples. I like this one. DW also analyzed a widely shared video that claims Palestinians — including children — are using makeup to fake injuries caused by Israeli attacks for a news report. In this case, the video is real but it is being presented out of context and with a false claim. In the original 2-minute video from 2017 we learn that the Palestinian makeup artists were working on a project led by the French charity Doctors of the World. The video has been shared with similar false claims since 2017. And has also been used in disinformation campaigns in the Syrian civil war. How is it that you never question such dishonesty And ar so quick to accept whatever Hamas says?

Perhaps, it is because such Chinese transgressors return to china and are dealt with, unlike so many other foreigners who are never held accountable for their misdeeds.

Yes, well we can see what you bring to Pattaya. Carry on.

Ahh, a middle eastern love interest. Does she share the same views on juden and Israel as you do? Does her zaghrouta seduce and excite you? This explains so much. 😄

There is no bitterness or jealousy. There is however, disgust at your lack of gratitude. Canada took you in and has provided opportunities, and yet in so many of your comments, you are critical of the nation and its generosity. Why keep Canadian citizenship if it is such a horrible nation? I did not renounce my my passport because I am grateful for my citizenship, something which you are obviously not. Yes, it is obvious that you enjoy exploiting a Canadian passport as a passport of convenience. An east European cultural predisposition to hateful bullying is demonstrated with the ladyboy comment. Perhaps, it is intended to offend me. The comment only reflects ignorant hate.

There is no denying what you wrote. However, the super wealthy are not always paying their taxes as intended. They have the money and means to find ways to circumvent tax obligations. I think you can agree that tax evasion is a significant problem and that if people paid their taxes as they should there could actually be a tax rate reduction for everyone.
