If I was in my home country and a woman was seeking conflict of a physical nature, she would get it and regret it. However, in Thailand you absolutey cannot hit a woman in 2025. 1) She can denounce you to police and you will go to a Thai jail. Potentially for longer than you'd think 2) SE Asian girls react much more shocked to a slap in the face than Western women (I know because I once slapped a Filipina in a play-fight and she was not happy) In Thailand you have to keep your nose clean. You can't even risk it. At most if it's life or death, which almost never happens anyway, and even then a stabbing is probably preferable to years in a Thai jail.

Yes, obviously I'm extra careful when I see a parent with a toddler and no helmet, which happens unbelievably often. That would really ruin your day, if you hit a scooter with a toddler on it.

Sean is right of course. But it's not reccomended in Thailand in 2025. Keep your nose clean.

It won't be needed because there will be no nuclear world war 3. For the simple reason that MAD prevents any country from launching nuclear missiles.

The pick-up driver is obviously to blame, but I always feel uncomfortable when I see mothers and fathers with toddlers on motorcycles, neither wearing a helmet. I realise it's the poverty that makes them do this, but it's inevitable these things will happen when parents take toddlers on motorcycles unprotected.

It may interest you to know Swissie, and thanks for an interesting topic finally btw, it may interest you to know that there are animals that are immortal. Turritopsis dohrnii, also known as the immortal jellyfish, is a species of small, biologically immortal jellyfish. "This ability to reverse the biotic cycle (in response to adverse conditions) is unique in the animal kingdom. It allows the jellyfish to bypass death, rendering Turritopsis dohrnii potentially biologically immortal." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turritopsis_dohrnii

Sure, but the legal position is finder's keepers where I come from. But that's what she said as well. And in the end I was kind of proud of her for being an honest person. Took me a while though. I guess I was also annoyed she did not listen to me, but took an executive decision. Not a fan of that in a relationship.

They are. This is a true story. I was eating with my girl in a major shopping mall when she spotted, with her myopic eyes, she wears contacts but somehow was still able to spot this wad of cash. Someone had dropped 6000 baht in cash under the chairs. She picked it up and straight away wanted to hand it in. I told her not to. But she would not listen. She got a kick out of being honest. When I protested she could have used the money, she said no there are cameras here, police would get me. It caused a bit of an argument, I was actually mad at her for being so stupid honest.

I think she's an activist and business woman. This may be important to some men, good conversations. Bourdain also seemed to value it. Hopefully Bono won't suffer the same fate as Bourdain with his 64 yearold, who to be fair doesn't look that bad for her age.

And once again a lying, cheating disloyal female almost causes death and mayhem. Well done on both men to walk away from the she-devil.

Nip it in the bud. Make it illegal.

The shelters are completely pointless of course. What if they really went to war, Russia is a nuclear power. What would Germans do, live in shelters all their life? It's ludicrous. The only viable option is for Germany to get nuclear weapons then Russia woudln't dare invade. Not that they have any intention to start with anyway. This whole exercise is just fear mongering.

Yah, I think your moral compass is a bit defective if you want to say expulsion from school and a police record is a fitting punishment for what this boy did.

Looks like there was a disagreement about price. The Russians thought it would be lower and were upset, so they tried to screw the massage parlour by not paying altogether.

No. I really don't get it. I don't get why people get so worked up about some digital fake photos showing things that never happened. It's almost as if the world has gone crazy.

Oh I know. Indeed pretty much every country has passed these laws that criminalise artistic representations of porn, long before AI become fashionable. Now with AI it seems to have gone completely overboard, 7 years in jail in S Korea. Are you telling me this is a proportionate and measured punishment? To lock a boy up for 7 years if he made some porn with AI that is not even real? By "sexual targeting" you mean the digital creation of fake images showing acts that never happened in real life, correct? I never said that was a "prank". But of course they will get over it. It's not a real act like a physical assault. It's a thought crime, that fantasizes and creates an AI image of things that never happened in reality. Which causes no physical harm whatsoever. Among 15 year olds, as among most children, attempts at humiliation and defamation are sadly the norm, as you well know. No, it's not. There is no real physical harm. At most there is some annoyance, embarassment, some psychological discomfort of a passing nature. Not at all. This was not physical abuse. This was an AI photo showing things that never happened. Nor am I "excusing" it, I'm merely viewing it in a proportionate way, without the white knight hysteria some have put on display here.

I succeeded in not marrying a 64 year old woman the way Bono has. And my chick is twice as beautiful as his.

Such an unattractive man, Bono. His music was absolutely cack as well. But the chicks loved the music. Why? It always puzzled me.

Atoian is a Georgian Armenian name. He's not Russian.

Bit like they don't view their property as your property.

So 7 years jail for a fake digital pic showing things that never happened, school expulsion and a police record are a "measured" response? Maybe in Crazyland. I'm not "underreacting". I'm reacting proportionately. You're overreacting.

Hardly. If she built up sufficient respect, dignity and trust among peers, those peers would recognize that those pics are just fake and it would not have a great impact on her reputation among her "peers". Did I digitally asssault you perhaps? Lol. You are so full of it. You couldn't judge me if your life depended on it. What depravity? Talking about fake AI images of things that never happened? Oh yes, shocking depravity there. lol. What "real" damage? A passing annoyance? Or a passing embarrassment? What "lasting impact"? Stop talking nonsense, Richard. Yes, I know how it works, thanks, but those girls never engaged in those acts, so what was depicted never ever happened. It's like fantasy. It feels like I'm in a real life fairytale where everyone is saying the emperor is wearing clothes and I'm the only one seeing reality. The trauma of seeing your face on pics depicting acts you were never involved in. Yeah, I think they'll get over it. Hahahahahahaha...digital assault...thanks Richard, i could use the laughs... digital assault....lol. ..priceless. You clearly have some moral disconnect if you want to ruin a 15 year old boy's life, have him expelled from school and involve police, for a fake nudie pic depicting acts that never happened as depicted. Obviously not, repeat offences warrant harsher punishment. By which I mean school sanction btw, not CIA waterboarding. Let's not conflate this with a REAL act. This boy did not such thing. He merely created digital art. An imaginary boundary in fake Bizarro world that is not real, where acts that never happened are sanctioned. Absolutely f***ng crazy.

It was a simple question, what reputation have 15 year olds built up? Spare me your sanctimonious nonsense. So she'll have plenty of time to build her confidence and social standing. Nobody's saying they're "unaffected" what I'm saying is that the relatively minor shocks to their self esteem will pass fairly quickly at that age. Generating FAKE sexual images of acts that never happened! Pretty much, it's almost harmless. Lol "digital assault", now you've jumped out of the bush, lol. No to involve police and demand expulsion is fantastically over the top. You want to ruin a buy's life at 15 because he created a fake nudie pic? What are you crazy? Real acts would, fake imagery should warrant minor disciplinary action at most. By theschool. Not police. I think your thought processes are fundamentally disturbed if you want to ruin a 15 year old boy's life with school expulsion and police, because he created some fake digital nudie pics. That's insane.

Look let's keep our feet on the ground here. This boy made some explicit digital art. Rather than making him out to be some sexual predator, perhaps we should nourish his IT talent instead of nipping it in the bud, just redirect it. I have dated a fair number of girls in Thailand and Phil, I would guesstimate that at leasat 98% were serial daters. It's a majority of the female population. Of course social media and dating apps have a lot to do with it. But at 15 there's a pretty good chance she'll have plenty of time to build up her self esteem. Hopefully not with sexy dance videos on Tik Tok.

Well, at least she's past the age for having affaris, so you're safe there.
