Photo of tourist at Thai temple sparks online debate
proton replied to snoop1130's topic in Chiang Mai News
where's the pic of the Buddhas footprint? never knew he came to CM! -
Why would you think that? not everyone is interested in a massage, those chairs are OK in Central and they only cost from 20 baht! Last massage I had in 2009 nearly crippled me, too many of them appear not to be properly trained. 250 baht an hour, that buys 4 cans of cheers extra and a bag of crisps.

I'd vote for her and the tampon guy just for the laughs they provide

It is God based AA 12 steps, or lies 1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol — that our lives had become unmanageable. 2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. 3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him. 4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. 5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs. 6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character. 7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings. 8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all. 9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. 10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it. 11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out. 12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

Quite correct its an addiction they don't say heroin addiction is a disease so why lie about boozers. AA is the last thing I would try, a God based self flagellation group with a low success rate. The idea that you cannot stop drinking without help from a higher power is another lie.

If cloth cover they tend to go mouldy, just replaced one after three years. Get removable covers

Were you dealing with 'Grace' at Thai visa centre? -
Agent recomendation?
proton replied to HermosaBeachGuy's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
The agent you used quoted me 16k without the funds, that was from a province I do not live in. I was not seriously considering using them. 22k and 28k when you have the funds seem like outrageous prices for just going the paper work -
trump folds and agrees to Kamala Harris debate demands,
proton replied to sirineou's topic in Political Soapbox
Dream on, this is just wishful thinking. -
He has been charged with a lesser offence than inciting murder, so thats 2 tier to start off with. When convicted if it's less than prison time that will be 2 tier also. People have been sent to prison for shouting at the police, this guy should get 2 years for inciting murder. Why is he not described as a far left fascist thug, 2 tier reporting?

proton replied to Social Media's topic in World News
No thats the last official number, they try to make it sound better by taking off the numbers leaving, a lot of those return. We have had more immigration since 1997 than from 1066 to 1997 -

Mass Arrests Follow Violent Far-Right Demonstrations Across the UK

Hansard toting up the billions these scroungers cost. This was last june so another million arrived since then' https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2023-06-27/debates/ABE8419C-FAF8-4D97-A09F-DC765DAD72CF/IllegalMigrationBillEconomicImpactAssessment The asylum system currently costs £3.6 billion a year and £6 million a day in hotel accommodation, but that is not the true cost of doing nothing. As this impact assessment shows, the cost of accommodating illegal migrants has increased dramatically since 2020. If these trends continued, the Home Office would be spending over £11 billion a year, or £32 million a day, on asylum support by the end of 2026. In such a scenario, the Bill would only need to deliver a 2% deterrence in arrivals to enable cost savings. The figure of £11 billion is an extraordinary amount of money—nearly 10 times the amount of money the taxpayer spent on the asylum system as recently as 2021 -
Anyone protesting in the UK would be called far right thugs by the Daily Mail and Tommy Robinson would get the blame

Mass Arrests Follow Violent Far-Right Demonstrations Across the UK

Blaming one man for the problem is nonsensical, the problem is mass immigration and 4k illegals alone since Starmer got in. He has done nothing about that apart from steal money off pensioners to help pay for them. Tommy is not the problem, Starmer is. Another million immigrants a year is just unsustainable. -
