Quit

No Fugu in Iceland?

About 65.000 THB. ... The requirement for a retirement visa. ... In other words, they want us to be like him ????

Took me 3 minutes a while ago in low season. Landed in the morning with Thai Airways. Even my suitcase came out early although I flew Economy.

Fair enough. But what is called "pension" is sometimes an income (if you are not retired yet) and may be taxed differently. Comparing income taxes of the world I saw that the US on average is over 30, the UK over 40 percent, some Scandinavian countries over 50. I could actually save some money if I had to pay taxes here, at least because I wouldn't need a specialist anymore as the tax form seems to be simple.

A study showed that castration can prolong life. And it can be "reversed" by taking testosterone. After all, a lot happens in the mind of the perpetrator anyway.

If you are in the 65 K pm category, you pay 25 percent income tax here. So it might actually be better than at home.

No it doesn't. The other inmates who wired another's ass etc. may just have been rapists themselves, murderers or other scumbags. The reason why they torture child abusers is not their sense of morality. A psychologist could explain to you why it is often actually envy and simply a good chance to commit another crime that they find easily justifiable. You may be shocked now.

The french comment translated by Google: "Of course it's sad and revolting, but reading the comments on this forum, I have the impression of finding myself in the savagery of the Middle Ages. Know that we can evolve..." I agree. Well, as a "rape" wasn't even stated in the original report nor was there any trial yet, it is totally justified to say that some commentators have asked for "murder" - and that would be worth than rape in the value system I know.

I did. And that's how I know the complexity of it. Emotional uproars like here are common but not helpful.

Right. Expected behavior is not asking for castration, revenge or the death penalty.

That's because I never said that.

I get the feeling that a lot of the commentators here are actually capable of worse crimes than him. Much sounds like boozed bar talk to me. First we don't know the details of the crime. But what we know is that in modern societies murder and castration are not the right form of punishment. Especially if you don't know what happened. Second, any google search will lead to the knowledge that 9 year old menstruating are rather common nowadays. Perhaps there are not many fathers here. Although of course a traumatic event can have such an effect. The way this is discussed here is as disgusting as the crime. It's the mob talking.
