  1. No I'm a Marxist. Wow! After that response, I had to look at your original post again to see what you said. You said, "No, I don't think about you at all." If you are indeed a Marxist, I would think you'd be a communist and would think about me and all people in everything you do. Where am I getting this wrong?
  2. FOR ONCE, WE ARE IN AGREEMENT! I agree with everything you've said above. Are you becoming "woke"? 😄
  3. Not seen many of the woke far left caring about Trump. The exact opposite actually. Selective wokeness Read Merriam-Webster's definition again, or try to find another one online. Or, make one up yourself. That's what anti-woke folks do all the time.
  4. Isn't it possible that the assertion that there are many conspiracy theories is a conspiracy theory designed to make us stop believing what we see on TV news and read on social media? 😮
  5. No, I knew the poster humorously interpreted "ME" to refer to me and not himself. You obviously did not appreciate the humor in my reply.
  6. You say this because you are not "woke." You can support both sides of an argument. One side of an argument is not necessarily absolutely correct, and the other side wrong. If you believed that, you would not understand the existence of trans people. You'd think there are only two genders, and nothing in between. Woke people, like me, do have opinions. I express them here on AseaNow forums all the time. That doesn't mean I agree with everyone, especially you, but I do believe I understand where you are coming from and why you hold the opinions you do. i do support your right to express them. In my opinion, no one should hit anyone else in any sport, boxing included. What kind of "sport" is it where you intend to hurt someone else? So, no, men shouldn't hit women or other men, and women shouldn't hit men or other women as some kind of "sport." I'd only agree with hitting someone else in self-defense, and then men could hit both women and men, and women could hit both men and women.
  7. Sorry, but I don't care about you at all. So, assuming you consider yourself to be on the "right," that supports what I just wrote above.
  8. I absolutely disagree... Woke people care about both the person being hit in a boxing match and the person hitting them. Woke people care about children being indoctrinated in schools by not telling them the truth about history and forbidding them from learning about certain subjects. Woke people care about almost everything. Their sentiment is "in whatever you do, do it with care for other people."
  9. "Anti-woke" people don't care about anyone but themselves. "Woke, " according to the online Merriam-Webster dictionary, means: "aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)". So it's "woke" people who care about you.
  10. Tipping in Thailand used not to be expected. Now, especially in fancy restaurants in large cities, it probably is. I usually tip. When I do, I leave between 10% and 20%.
  11. I do this for my Thai wife, even though my bank account is only in my name, which Immigration requires to use it to get one-year stay extensions. I give her the right to withdraw money from it over the counter at the bank. To do this, you have to have their signature recorded on your account. At least this works for my savings account at Krungthai (Ayudhya) Bank.
  12. The right, which is indeed "anti-woke," has no principles. The only thing they care about is ME, ME, ME. 😞
  13. None. Life has no purpose, nor does anything else. Any purpose we assign to anything is just a product of our intellect, not something innate.
  14. This is, of course, extremely regrettable. Going backwards always is. My home country, the USA, is doing this also. I hope it's just a temporary adverse reaction to change, in this case, being "woke," a positive change.
  15. If what you say above is true, where, then do men go to find changing rooms or toilets? 😮
  16. Good! That's what I thought I said in my original post on this forum. When you say refer to "rules" above, I assume you're only referring to the rules of the London Marathon, right?
  17. Did you even read the headline of the story ? Did you not read it or did you read it and not understand it ? I did read the headline but not the entire article. I thought I understood it. I thought it meant that the London Marathon will admit trans people in spite of a recent UK Supreme Court Ruling declaring there on only two, distinct genders: male and female. Is my understanding wrong on either of these?
  18. Actually, did she bring the snake treatment? I'm not sure what you're asking above. Did you mean "...bring the snake in FOR treatment"? Or did you mean "...did she bring the snake in to assist in her own treatment?" Either way, she killed the snake, so she was the more deadly of the two.
  19. Good! I'm glad to see this. It's time we started including trans people in our activities. This doesn't mean we have to include trans women or trans men in women's or men's sports. What I mean it quit denying that these people exist, or have the right to exist.
  20. I like this a lot better than sending satellites out into space. Radio waves are not litter.
  21. No, now in the UK, the legal definition of a woman/man is NOT based on "biological sex." It's based on a legal mandate. My prediction is that the legal definition will be changed in the future. Some people are not born primarily male or female. Some have mixed chromosomes, will later develop mixed hormones, and a very few are even born with mixed genitalia. Trans people do not flip back and forth between claiming to be male and then female. They think long and hard about this before they come to a conclusion. They know how controversial (and dangerous!) such a declaration will be. I'm not suggesting trans females should be allowed to participate in women's sports, or trans males in men's sports. What I'm suggesting is that trans people should not be ignored and treated as if it's just some whim of theirs. Many of them have a very solid BIOLOGICAL basis for their claims, even if now, in the UK, they have no LEGAL basis.
  22. Yes! It's been very hot the last several days up here near Phetabun. I play golf twice a week, and yesterday it was a very, very hot walk. Even the Thai women caddies kept remarking on how hot it was! (Wanted higher tips? 😄 )
  23. So, who was more deadly, the Thai woman or the snake? 😞
  24. I've very rarely heard any Thais making a joke, but I don't know if that's because they have no sense of humor or if it's because either they aren't confident of the English they speak, or they aren't confident of my ability to understand their Thai.
