save the frogs

another teen gang incident. maybe thailand needs to invest money in more sports leagues to give these kids something to do, discipline, keep them out of gangs.

cool drawings, sunmaster!

Back home, I met an old guy sending money to Africa. To 2 separate girls. He had lived in Africa for many years and moved back home. But was still sending money long after he left. African girls got the same scams going on as Pattaya girls.

you only date normal girls? but you hang out in gogo bars 50-100 times per year? for what? sorry, you lost me.

looks like a friendship is disintegrating

do ashes actually fertilize anything?

or maybe you can get some (free, inadvertent) psychological help by posting on online forums.

not sure if this has been discussed on here. there's a thread now with complications connected to burial. why do buddhists believe in cremation? https://rfhr.com/buddhist-death-rituals-and-funeral-rites/#:~:text=Buddhists typically favor cremation because,donation of organs and autopsies. Buddhists typically favor cremation because they believe it is an important way to release the soul from the physical form. Buddha himself was cremated, so his followers often follow his lead. also due to beliefs in reincarnation. https://www.funeralpartners.co.uk/help-advice/arranging-a-funeral/types-of-funerals/buddhist-funerals/ Due to their belief in reincarnation, cremation is seen as the preferred choice when a loved one dies. The physical body holds little significance to the Buddhist faith, it is merely a vessel for holding the soul. but even without the belief system, is it more practical?

Yeah, that's a sad reality of the world we live in. That streets are not designed to safely handle the horsepower of those cars. The Ferrari was modeled on Formula 1 racing cars, wasn't it? Formula 1 drivers have dedicated tracks. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I rest my case.

It's not a joke. I've nearly been hit by cars many times as a pedestrian. A couple of times, people driving out of their driveways like maniacs. I don't agree with what you're saying. But I ain't gonna argue forever.

No, I was being sort of flippant. But the argument stands. Animals can cross the roads abrubtly. Stupid people can cross roads abruptly. The need to drive your car like a Formula 1 driver is an over-rated form of enjoyment. Go get laid. I'm outta here.

I don't consider driving a revved up car on the roads a hobby. Fast cars should have dedicated race tracks. Like go-karting. Seriously, can you not satisfy your urge for speed with go-karting? Or do you enjoy the inherent risk of the road? And that's enough for me on this topic.

You never know when a cat will cross the road. Adrenaline is over-rated and symptomatic of unresolved issues. That's my argument for slowing down. What was your question?

you were poster of the year on here? seriously? i find it hard to believe.

so you wake up at 5 AM on sunday mornings to drive fast? what's the psychology behind the guy who always needs to drive fast and rev the engine? to me, it's like the guy who needs to have a pitbull as a pet.

channty sounds like a girl's name.

your argument seems to be a logical fallacy. you're complaining that laws in the west are not for your safety, but then thailand is renowned for having dangerous roads. cops stopping people from acting crazy on the roads IS for safety. they don't just do it because they're on a power trip. I get that driving fast is fun. I even almost paid the 400$ to go see a Formula 1 race once. But I think we need to have dedicated race tracks for people who like to drive fast. Not use the streets as a personal race track. Even if you are a Formuala 1 driver, there's way too many bad drivers on the roads. And the roads are way too busy with pedestrians/cyclists/tuk tuks/scooters for anyone to make a compelling argument that it's ok to drive fast. Bring back SLOW DRIVING.

Not sure I buy your argument. But not sure how to debate it either. Sorry, Gamma Gobulin's threads are degrading my mind. Can't think straight.

Farting After Eating Beans Phobia

attacked for no reason?

But the folks in power will be investing a lot of money into new alternative technologies that will produce fewer emissions. Even housing ... we might see some houses built from hemp? Many industries will be completely revamped. EU is working on a law where mobile phones need to be able to be repaired by a layperson ... so people stop upgrading so easily. This hurts the economy. That means elites lose money. Why would they invest so much money to completely change to new technologies based on flimsy science? Countries in the Middle East need to completely re-invent their entire economies to shift away from fossil fuels or their countries will go broke. Again, why risk going through so much economic upheaval based on flimsy science?

This guy - does not use the hotel safe - uses a PACSAFE backpack (these backpacks are harder to get into) - leaves a dummy wallet with some small bills lying around

How come in 2023 we can land on the moon, but we still haven't figured out a foolproof solution to hotel security? I would like to propose a solution. They should put LOCKERS in hotel rooms, NOT safes that staff can open. Guest brings their own padlock.
