save the frogs

Yeah, that's a sick fetish that a lot of people seem to have? I think this was a big problem in Japan, if I'm not mistaken.

Heart disease is reversible. Depression can be sorted out too. No reason for such drastic measures. 50 is not old. Very sad stuff.

Many married people are living like sheep. Marriage isn't inherently a problem, but when you are surrounded by a bunch of other married couples as I did growing up in a large family, the family obligations and societal expectations get completely out of control. You have no more time for yourself, to develop your own interests, or even just to think about anything other than maintaining appearances at the next social gathering. Not to mention many married couples sit around playing "keeping up with the Joneses" with other married couples. And most social gatherings are superficial fakery. It's all very exhausting.

Bars all over the world have fights. But there are way too many bars in Pattaya. The whole vibe of the city is not of a normal city at all. There's music blaring from some of the bars at 9 AM like it's party time 24/7. It's unhealthy to live in such a place. A guy may start off being whatever, but living there for years makes it worse. You lose sense of normalcy.

I have a silver pendant with a tiny sliver of gold on it. I wanted a bit of gold, but not too much and not flashy. The gold is barely noticeable. But I can't even wear it in Thailand. The sweat tarnishes it and then I need to get it polished. But some people are obviously trying to show off with their bling. This is stupid. Looks crass and attracts thieves assaulting you.

And then to say "I told you so! I was right about Trump all along!!" When a person's ego becomes more important than national policy, that's pretty scary.

Gold is way too flashy and attracts thieves and assault.

No, food is one the great sensory pleasures of life. But then overdo it and eat too much ... that's the only problem.

He needs a financial advisor. Will I go bankrupt if I drop 2500 Baht on the Hilton Seafood Buffet? He needs help crunching the numbers.

There's nothing to discuss. Obviously the Hilton buffet will be first class. The only issue is can you afford it? And if you could, maybe you wouldn't be wasting your time on here psychoanalyzing it.

Not just simple discrimination. Human beings all have an inherent subconscious fear of being oppressed. Hence the hostility as it is bringing up deep-rooted fears when they encounter someone from a country that is oppressing others.

That's a good suggestion. Bring it up with the mayor at your next meeting when you discuss the findings of all the research you've been doing. And .... is there anything more pointless than getting close to the Pattaya sign?

feeding it story is bs. it's theft. russian ladies cannot afford a cat. why don't they just to do some pole dancing to raise some money?

Here is another theory for you. How is Mojtaba Khomeini allowed to own a massive real estate fortune in London if they are enemies of the West? Because they are greasing each other's pockets, maybe? Lloyd's of London was insuring the Straits of Hormuz, and now Trump is challenging UK's shipping monopoly and moving in. This is being seriously downplayed in the media or not discussed at all. But that could be a very big part of what's going on.

That's the crappiest coffee. You clearly know NOTHING about coffee. So how can you possibly appreciate a 5 star seafood buffet? Don't waste your money.

Sorry, it's above my pay grade. Not sure who should be allied with who for the highest GDP returns. Run it by the Pentagon and see if they take your advice.

Terrorist acts against Americans scattered over several decades. And more to come, probably. They are hostile to US.

Didn't he just regurgitate and plagiarize the OP? Ha ha ... Put some effort into it, man.

I don't support everything Israel is doing. Iran has killed a lot of americans, bombed embassies, the hostage crisis over the years. Small acts of terrorism scattered over several last decades. And there would likely be more. So America is not supporting Israel, but allying itself because they have a common enemy.

I don't think I can handle Latinas, man.

I doubt normal bars are doing that. They would be risking losing their license and being shut down. So he walked into a hole in the wall bar with no name? If you buy drugs off the street, well then you're stupid.

No, probably not WMD. But the specifics don't matter. The leaders of countries are all operating under a "kill or be killed" mentality. If the opposition gets too powerful, then they may dominate / crush / obliterate YOU and me and Trump. And they are constantly operating under this premise. But who is supposed to drop their sword first? If you do nothing, your enemy gets increasingly powerful either militarily or economically and then you're dead. Just being reliant on another country for oil is bad. If they cut you off or raise the rates, you're screwed. Cuba was reliant on USSR and then USSR collapsed and Cuba got really poor. This is how geopolitics works. They're constantly wheeling and dealing to not be left behind in the dust and dominated by enemies. Iran was probably given options and they refused. And they were deemed a threat. But peace and love doesn't work in the game of geopolitics because all parties have to be kum-ba-yah and they ain't.

Cigars? Is Cuba next? Soon? Learning about history of Cuba, which I knew nothing about until 10 minutes ago. US fought alongside Cuba to break free from Spain? US tried to invoke the Monroe Doctrine to annex Cuba in the past? Basically take over like they did with Puerto Rico? CIA tried to assassinate Castro over 600 times?

Well, it can't be georgegeorgia because he was doing "research" at the time.
