You were discussing the present. And I dispute that prostitution was ever the main driving force behind Pattaya. Bangkok in the 80's and before simply blew both Pattaya and Phuket out of the water when it came to bang for the buck.

Yes, the orcs are a far bigger problem.

I believe Biden has until around August 22 to drop out. I agree he will likely do it soon but at present there's mileage in letting the house loonies hang themselves out to dry over his son.

All the prostitutes in Thailand wouldn't generate anywhere near the revenue required to power the level of development going on in Pattaya.

Sin, huh? Religiously loaded word that means zero to me. I never accepted that women working to support their families are sinful or in any way beneath the holiest of us all. And I was not referring to prostitution when I wrote that post. Your just flaming by innuendo. Pretty sure I did post that I rarely go to soi 6 and even less often to WS. That said, I'm meeting some friends at soi 6 this evening at their request before proceeding to Hops restaurants to listen to Christmas songs by their resident singer.

About ten times more interesting and entertaining stuff as I would do back home.

+ Not one word of what he wrote could be remotely construed as "cheer leading for Hamas". You are slurring by attempting to ascribe to another an attitude which you know is false. Not one regular poster here has at any time said anything supporting Hamas. Period.

Some people just hate the notion that others might enjoy living in Pattaya. I guess always people who don't live in Pattaya. By the way, I haven't been to WS in months and rarely go to soi 6 which is a 10 minute walk away.

Somebody finds child deaths funny.

Most of the facilities of any international city.

QED

I think you meant to say "nationalism"?

No way. Offering a bribe is just part of getting to the truth.

You need to post evidence to expose lies, not just flame the messenger.

Not a mention of what I said, just a flame in response.

That's simply not true. On any level.

Denying that Palestinians a state is reasonable only in the minds of fascists and religious nut jobs.

assume what you want, you're just trolling. Your question is "do I eat garbage?".

Apparently so, I read posts in this thread.

were you at any time ever in doubt that I was quoting an email?

Rubbish, it was fishing village. Until 1991 there were 5 tiny gogo bars in the town, 4 in soi diamond plus TQ.

I apologize for the big words. That's just the level of my reading and education doing that. Embarrassing I know.

An email constitutes an article. It does not have to be a column or a story. Articles are content.

What article? If there was a link to an article I would have posted it. Do you think I'm lying? The intercept IS a credible source. Again, trying to shoot the messenger because the message is unpalatable to you.
