  1. So , according to you, all the people born with the medical conditions, are in fact not organically defective and their physical conditions do not magically exist. No one is born with the identified medical conditions and it is all self willed. Kids are not born woithout wombs, but instead wish them aay. A "boy" born without testicles dreamed his away. In the UK there were 571,000 live births recorded in 2023. Even using the most conservative of estimates, 1000+ people were born intersexed or having serious sexual chromosome deficiencies that have resulted in deviant physical development. The current guidelines estimate that we should expect 10,000 sexual physiology deviances. According to you, these 1000 to 10,000 people have imagined their physical deficiencies and it is all by intentional design.
  2. Leave medicine and genetics to those who have an education. You are trying to apply an absolute to conditions which are often undiagnosed / not recognized. Many countries do not accept the DSD genetic conditions, while others do not have the culture to accept the condition. The Faust Sterling estimate fo DSD was 1.7%. Others have challenged that estimat with the 0.17% or 0.18% claim. The challengers don't have the data to fully support their claim. Much of the data is western based and does not take into account variances that may occur in populous regions such as Asia or Latin America. The current accepted frequency of variations is as follows; Not XX and not XY one in 1,666 births Klinefelter (XXY) one in 1,000 births Androgen insensitivity syndrome one in 13,000 births Partial androgen insensitivity syndrome one in 130,000 births Classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia one in 13,000 births Late onset adrenal hyperplasia one in 66 individuals Vaginal agenesis one in 6,000 births Ovotestes one in 83,000 births Idiopathic (no discernable medical cause) one in 110,000 births Complete gonadal dysgenesis one in 150,000 births Hypospadias (urethral opening in perineum or along penile shaft) one in 2,000 births Hypospadias (urethral opening between corona and tip of glans penis) one in 770 births Total number of people whose bodies differ from standard male or female one in 100 births Total number of people receiving surgery to “normalize” genital appearance one or two in 1,000 births Sources; 1 Dreger, Alice Domurat. 1998. Ambiguous Sex—or Ambivalent Medicine? Ethical Issues in the Treatment of Intersexuality. Hastings Center Report, 28, 3: 24-35. 2 Blackless, Melanie, Anthony Charuvastra, Amanda Derryck, Anne Fausto-Sterling, Karl Lauzanne, and Ellen Lee. 2000. How sexually dimorphic are we? Review and synthesis. __American Journal of Human Biology__ 12:151-166. The 0.17% value relies on a very narrow interpretation of data and excludes abnormal physiological events such as missing or deformed or defective genitalia.
  3. Please take a basic introductory course to human genetics. Your simplistic comment is factually incorrect. It is apalling that you march in so sure of yourself ready to insult and dismiss legitimate scientific fact, when you have absolutely no understanding of the basic science of sexual genetics. The UK NHS has simplified the factual evidence and summarizes as follows; Some people have XY (male) chromosomes, but their external genitals may develop in the usual way for girls or boys. Sometimes it's difficult at first to know whether their genitals are more male or female. A person may have a uterus, while at the same time as having testicles inside their body. Only testing can determine if the testes are functional, and it can take time to determine if the testes will develop or not. This condition is classified as 46,XY DSD.Many people with 46,XY DSD are appear as males with the a partially or fulled developed urethra through or below the penis that allows for the release of urine. For some, the scrotum appears separated into two smaller sacs, one on either side. This is termed peno-scrotal hypospadias. Some people have XY chromosomes and the ignorant assume they are male. If the body cannot or does not respond to the andogens necessary for sexual trait expression, then the person with XY chromosome is a female. So much for your assumprion of absolute definitions. Some people have a chromosome pattern other than the usual XY or XX. They may have one X chromosome (XO), or they may have an extra chromosome (XXY). Their internal and external sex organs can be either male or female, but they may not go through a full physical development at puberty. For example, a child with female sex organs may not start having periods. This is termed sex chromosome DSD. An example is Klinefelter syndrome, which is where a boy is born with an extra X chromosome (XXY). This can mean they do not produce the usual level of testosterone, the sex hormone responsible for the development of male characteristics, such as the testes and body hair. Testosterone is also important for bone strength and fertility in men. Another example of this type of DSD is Turner syndrome, which is where a girl is born with a missing X chromosome. Girls and women with Turner syndrome are often infertile and their height may be shorter than average. Females can have genitals associated with the female sex but be born without the uterus and fallopian tubes. Some females are born with an underdeveloped womb, or missing cervix and upper vagina. The ovaries and external genitalia look the same as most girls and women and they develop breasts and pubic hair as they get older.This is called Rokitansky syndrome. It's also known as Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH syndrome). The cause is not clear, but girls and women with Rokitansky syndrome/MRKH have XX chromosomes. Often the first sign of Rokitansky syndrome is that a girl does not start having periods. Sex involving the vagina may also be difficult because the vagina may be shorter than most women's. Not having a womb means that a woman cannot become pregnant, but it's sometimes possible to take eggs from their ovaries, fertilise them, and implant them in another woman's womb (surrogacy). Some people with a very rare type of DSD have both ovarian and testicular tissue (sometimes one ovary and one testis). Their genitals may appear female or male or could look different from either. Most people with this type of DSD have XX (female) chromosomes. The cause is not usually clear, but some people with the condition have been found to have genetic material that's usually seen on the Y chromosome appearing on their X chromosome. This condition is 46,XX ovotesticular DSD.
  4. Seriously? Why would you ask such a question, knowing that Thailand is a tropical client. Have you ever looked at the weather data for the region? Start there. One person's concept of "hot" will be another's of "mild". Only you will know. Yours is a question a primary school student can answer using common sense.
  5. Ok. Why then did Russia keep the airspace open and permit the flight? You can't just enter Russian airspace. Ask the people who were responsible for firing the missile. Russia first tried to deny responsibility, but much to its dismay, the aircraft had survivors and interfered with the Russian attempt top avoid responsibility. OK, and you obviously learned nothing from those events. And going by the lack of coverage on RT, Russia does not want to be reminded of its past mass murders involving civilian airliners.
  6. This is the year Iran sees a regime change. China has a new respiratory disease, far more deadly than Covid. Westerners will not respond appropriately and millions will die needlessly.
  7. In his pre Presidential years, he wasn't nice. The public image was one of civility, but his career in Georgia politics was rough and brutal. He won the Governor's race by using a tactic that Trump was criticized for; Carter avoided black campaign stops and played to the white nationalist voter segment. The Atlanta Constitution newspaper, which had refused to endorse him, described him as an "ignorant, racist, backward, ultra-conservative, red-necked South Georgia peanut farmer." Carter's strategy to capture the votes of rural farmers, evangelicals, and segregationist delivered and he was elected. As a governor he was described as arrogant, dictatorial and unwilling to work with opponents to reach a common ground. Yes, he was given to public displays of humanitarianism, but much of it was a reflection of realizing that this is all he could do. His attempts to bring about world peace or change as he saw it fell flat after he left office. I am not saying he was a bad man or didn't do good. There is no denying his morality, or of his civility and kindness to his community, but he was disconnected from the harsh realities of some regional politics and did not appreciate that the current world was awful, and that Christian values would not work in much of the world. He died a decent and good man true to his Christian values and for that he merits respect.
  8. Whatever the failings of Trump are, he is a loving, caring father. On that basis, I think he will be sensitive to to the Windsors. The US public has some empathy for Kate and her cancer, and even for Charles. Kate represents everyone's mum, sister, daughter who has cancer. She is a genuinely low key person as is Prince William. Starmer and his minions will try and play up their defence relationship, and longstanding ties, but that will all fall apart because of the insincerity of the UK government. The more I see and hear of Lammy, the more I realize that the man is an absolute knob, driven by his own bias and political opinions.The UK government is going to walk away with little from this except public humiliation. I suggest you watch the receptions for various Gulf State Arab nations. If you want a demonstration of supplication and arse kissing, you will be entertained. Trump knows that he is unwelcome in many nations. I believe that he thrives on the. disruption. It will be interesting to watch the hundreds of thousands of Bengalis, Arabs and leftists come out to shout their hate at him when he visits the UK. I wonder how the UK will handle he protests. The police and government didn't care much when this group was rampaging in support of Hamas.
  9. Not plausible. 8 of 9 Directors resigned. He remained. The failure to have a legal director would have breached corporate governance requirements. The PRC directorship was intentional. There is no denying that the PRC is closely linked to and a representative of Hamas.
  10. Several of the COs were previously implicated in violence. Even the CO union is disgusted by this event and is distancing itself. NYSCOPBA, the union that represents New York correctional officers, described the footage of the beating as “incomprehensible to say the least” and “certainly not reflective of the great work that the vast majority of our membership conducts every day.” The video is horrific. The facts are detailed here; https://edition.cnn.com/2024/12/27/us/marcy-correctional-facility-death-robert-brooks/index.html The man was already bound and presented no threat. The nature of the beating and the intentional infliction of debilitating injuries meets the threshold for criminal charges. Once again the taxpayers must pick up the bill for sociopath prison guards who get their jollies through violence.
  11. I offer that it isn't about holding alcohol well. A nasty and mean person becomes a nasty and mean drunk. A happy person becomes the laughing friendly drunk. Alcohol is offered up as an excuse for being a violent turd to start with. We have all experienced these people. I am fortunate that my drinking friends in my youth were all happy loveable drunks.
  12. A solid and beautiful list. All US or UK based. We have just insulted and alienated the Europeans. 😁 And as others have noted, it isn't available in Thailand. The gay clubs don't even offer good dance music. It is heavily weighted to really bad techno, like a German interpretation for a senior residence dance night.
  13. Ok, but my comments are on what has occurred over the period of the last 12 months. Dusit had excellent standards. Accor, Marriott too My Dusit sheets had 2 small holes in them during a recent stay. Something has happened at many places. I used to eat egg mcmuffins 2-3X a year. It's convenient at 07:30 in the morning. Last visit I noticed that they offer "oil spray" instead of butter on the muffins. It's obscene to spend 3500 baht for a basic steak dinner for 2 and to be served a chunk of gristle and fat. Where I could once count on some meat in my bacon, some places have switched to the lower cost Thai cuts which are almost all fat. It is a collective reduction in quality, much as manufacturers have reduced portion sizes in containers, but kept the same price without telling consumers. '
  14. You are seeking to turn this thread in a vehicle to convey your political views. I am not going to facilitate your hate.
  15. It provides a compelling reason for quick action on the part of Thai authorities. Money is a key motivator in Thailand.
  16. One of them is 18. He will be crying for his Mama in prison soon enough.
  17. RIP to a noble Japanese gntleman who tried to do the right thing. More English than Thai by his looks. He is a dual national. The girlfriend was also a farang. You may not think it appropriate to prevent a beating of a women, but many men who are raised right do. That is why the deceased and a Thai man tried to intervene. Looking at the smug murderer, he deserves the full impact of what's coming and being drunk won't wash. You can't murder Japanese tourists with impunity. They are exceptionally valuable and the Japanese are some of the biggest per capita spenders in Thailand. Unless the Thai authorities make an example of this idiot, there will be a financial impact.
  18. Your revisionist history is factually incorrect. No order to land was given. On the contrary, the Russian general who ordered the aircraft to be shot down was aware of it being a civilian aircraft and chose to act on his own. (Putin has promoted this madman to General of the Army). The senior political leaders of Russia were not informed. They would not have allowed this error to have been made. Following the incident, Russia denied involvement for 5 days and blocked any foreign recovery efforts. The black box, later found by the Soviet Union, confirmed that Korean Air 007 was not conducting any reconnaissance operations, and the plane had merely deviated from its course. The pilots had failed to verify their autopilot settings. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, President Yeltsin handed over all case materials to international organizations and the cascade of errors was revealed. Putin refuses to accept responsibility for Russia having fired the missile and had the aircraft not survived he would have been as dishonest about this event as he was with the dowinng of the KLM flight. The Azerbajabians are furious and rightly so. Russia has a shoot first and ignore the consequences attitude. It is a natation of barbarians.
  19. Please define "Alternative". There are many versions of the term. What someone from Manchester circa 1995 might consider Alternative, is not what an American kid circa 1985 would call Alternative, nor a German or French person.
  20. The restaurant previously had a more pronounced Israeli identity. I expect it made some subtle adjustments because of people like you, who despite knowing nothing about the establishment come up with idiotic statements like baby killer, Iaraeli food is not Palestinian food anymore than Jesus was a Palestinian, as is now claimed. It's like comparing Mama noodles to Italian pasta. And yes Jews in Europe most certainly ate Mediterranean food. Greece, Southern Italy, and Spain all offer their variation of Mediterranean cuisines. Jews were present in those countries long before Christianity. Palestine was an invention of the Roman occupation and was intended to both insult and act as a forced cultural destruction to eliminate the indigeneous Israelites who had rebelled against the Roman occupation. There were no Palestinians until the Romans created them.
  21. I will be most grateful to have another 25 years minimum in decent health.
  22. The main roads are choked in Hua Hin.It is miserable being stuck in traffic.
  23. And you are right. No need to offer a discount rate in high season.
  24. Give it a rest. Adeslon's support existed long before that. The support goes back to the first election Trump ran. Trump's support for Israel existed long before this year's donation. The reality is that he dealt with jews when he was a developer in New York, and he had many jewish friends. In his darkest times of bankruptcy to the recent state of being a social pariah, those jewish friends stayed true and didn't desert him. One of them is Jared Kushner's father, the convicted tax evader.
