If this is really an issue, then why have people been going to gyms for decades during flu season?

"so because someone may be older that automatically requires respect is given ?"..... in Asia the answer is YES. However, I never said how old I am. Making assumptions isn't good. You speak like a know-it-all farang that wants to dictate how everyone thinks, even in Asia. Best of luck to you in life. You have already shown you will fail at it.

Enjoy your day. I've tired of trying to communicate with a rock.

"the forgotten generation.".... and your comment kind of makes my point. They are forgotten for good reasons.

That's a weak argument. If you are a black male, 200 pounds, wearing jeans and a white tee-shirt and are running from the scene of a crime there is an incredibly strong chance you are who the authorities are looking for.

I know all about the demographics. Black people are 95% + responsible for the attacks on Asians even tho they hold a low % of the total population. Watch the news and educate yourself. BTW - The same is true in New York City. Education and facts are important.

Just like in the US when a crime was reported they can no longer use the color of the criminal's skin in their news report. Now..... "he's wearing blue jeans and a white tee-shirt" Before... a black male 6'2" approx 200 pounds wearing blue jeans and a white tee-shirt. Which announcement would make the person easier to identify?

Don't be so dismissive. It IS a dangerous place now for Asians. SO many stories about mostly elderly Asians being attack while just walking down the street minding their own business. Most often the attacker is black. Are they afraid the Asians will steal the chokehold they have as THE prominent minority? Who knows. You need to educate yourself before making silly-assed comments like you just did.

I'm not sure what you mean by dinosaur mentality. Maybe because you think I'm older than you. Either way I don't give a flip. Yes, the system is broken but until you and your millennial know-it-alls have a fix for it, be respectful of other people opinions? It's a simple request. If you listen to the opinions of others you might learn something. Then again, maybe not.

"but essential services may become increasingly cheap(er) and maybe even free.".... will never happen. "i ain't no economist".... no, you are a dreamer and this dream will never come true.

Of course you have to pay. Medical research costs a lot of money. So does manufacturing the medicines. Also there are huge costs to train and retain doctors and nurses. Let's make everything free right? Go to any restaurant and eat all you want and just walk out. Need a pair of shoes? Stop by the local mall and grab a pair. It's "cute" that you make such a silly comment.

Indeed! Merry Christmas to everyone. Here's hoping for a great 2023 for everyone and we get the Christmas gift we all want so badly...... a more intelligent and less corrupt RTP agency.

"i confess that i fantasized about sleeping with a black chick"...... it's not a big deal. Not missing out at all. Pink and soft like any other woman. Go find yourself a hot-girl, close your eyes and make her whatever color you want.

So this guy was looking for some BOOM BOOM.... literally.

"Since then he has been unable to eat properly or sing because of a cracked right molar."..... yes, being able to sing would be at the top of my concerns after such a beating. I think many of the stories that are on this site could easily be made into a comedy series with the RTP getting the most episodes.

"He said that the RTP would be pulling out all the stops to prevent and solve crime over the New Year period.".... it's absolutely mind boggling that these folks can make statements like this and feel good about themselves. IF they were competent and showed so over the years there would be no reason to make such a statement as the public would already trust them to do their jobs. "This will be done by checkpoints and making sure everyone in authority was on the same page."..... I wonder which page that is and if they are all using the same book. The incompetence is absolutely incredible.

Indeed! Merry Christmas to all with the hope of a far better year in 2023 where there is less conflict, hatred, wars, mistrust and more love and compassion in this world we all live in.

Pure insanity. He killed 20 people and he's being let out because he's old. In-freakin-credible. Why is he even still alive? His crimes justify him being taken out of this world forever.

Are you SURE they were Russian? Why are they not welcome? Because of their nationality? Are you trying to blame the Ukraine invasion on these people and all Russian citizens? If so, you were wrong. The people of Russia are good people for the most-part. You might use those words on Putin and his generals (who are mostly dead now thanks to the fierce Ukraine fighters) but not on innocent Russian citizens. Just like many Asians (mostly elderly) are being attacked in the US because the Covid-19 originated in China. These people had nothing to do with that. There is no reason for them to be attacked and abused. I think you are very lucky the young Russian man had such a good nature and temperament else you might still be recovering.

"Wait until the official report comes out ".... yes, of course, I'm quite sure it'll be honest and accurate and not be worded in such a way as to cover certain people's backsides and pass blame elsewhere.

"Later the hotel GM apologized for the slip up promising better staff training."....... Why is he apologizing for the woman's stupidity? I guess part of the staff training will be to inform each guest at check-in not to put soap in their latte as it'll give them diarrhea for a few days. Apparently, this lady already had diarrhea for brains.

All that damage to the car but the bull was apparently fine?............ that's a lot of bull, both literally and figuratively.

"The Move Forward MP doubted that the navy corvette had had the number of life jackets and inflatable boats available for emergency use in proportion to that of its crewmembers and others, reportedly totaling 106."...... Yesterday's story indicated that there were NOT enough lifejackets. Now he says he "doubted" there were enough? It's a simple question. Did they have enough or not? I'm afraid the Thai Navy isn't skilled enough to protect the country from an angry octopus let alone a military attack from another country. They'll have to rely on the US for protection. SUCH an embarrassment. Why do they even have a Navy if this is what the Thai people have to look forward to in an emergency situation. The Thai Navy seems to be a comedy starring the Three Stooges, Bennie Hill, Abbott and Costello and Laurel and Hardy.

If you only need them for 1 night just buy some cheap plastic cups. If your guests have a problem with that, they really weren't friends to begin with so who cares.

"S stood for Synchronization (an impressively long word on display)".... really? An "impressively" long word? How about supercalifragilisticexpialidocious? Mary Poppins fans will understand.
