I'm not going to Hong Kong, Just saying that my latest trip has opened my eyes. regards, bob.

Few more months and im outta here. Hong Kong has really opened my eyes to what a hole thailand really is. regards, bob.

It really isn't Frisco. regards, bob.

Where? I'm already on medication. Just upped my dosage. regards, bob.

I do indeed. I think about it daily. regards, bob.

Yes. I also have 2 leather belts... regards, bob.

A few weeks ago I was happy as Larry. I cashed in big time in hong kong, was in great shape and had a fresh outlook on life. Now i'm back to my old, miserable self. Mrs. Smith is on my case 24/7, I keep thinking about cracking open a beer but what good is that going to do, especially when mixed with meds? I actually did that once and almost died. very dangerous. So I am sat here, Mr. Misery guts, living in a country I can't stand, surrounded by people/culture that I never will understand. I suppose it is what it is. regards, bob.

....How bigs the belly these days, steven? judging by all the beers you drink it must be gargantuan by now!! regards, bob.

This post has really upset me, thanks for that. regards, bob.

I am on medication. I was making good progress, but have slid back into my hatred so my doctor has increased my dosage. It's an awful feeling that I wish would just go away , but it won't 😞 regards, bob.

Walked down there the other week at night and it was a total free for all. a disgrace, like the last days of rome. even arab women were offering themselves up in their full costume.... Glad they've locked those visa-less whores up. Leave the Vietnamese girls alone though. they are cute. regards, bob.

I would argue that, as a farang, it is impossible to make close bonds here. I even keep Mrs. Smith at arms length these days.. regards, bob.

I do, though. and I am struggling about what to do... I don't think counseling will help, nor will any form of medicine ... Hatred is a very strong emotion, and I currently feel it for myself and certain others. regards, bob.

A good, well thought out reply. Thank you, keeps. regards, bob.

I would like to open a discussion on the nature of the emotion of hatred. What is a person to do when one feels their heart filling up with hatred for a person/persons/group/race? Does counseling work? Is medicine the panacea? Is change possible? Has anybody here ever felt real hatred for something/someone, and if so, how did you overcome it? I think this is a valid discussion as the world is full of hate right now that apparently love can only conquer - but what if you have no love in your life? Nobody/no-one.. What then? regards, bob.

....I don't think we do. Very few Thais manage to 'make it ' in the west, yet many farangs manage to make it in Asia. Why? it's because Thais only know Thailand and the thai way of doing things. Their peripheral view is severely limited when it comes to globalism. regards, bob.

Well I think it's plain to see that once again the AN crowd have come out and voted with what we all already knew: the vote currently stands at 77.08% YES vs 22.92% NO. Thank you to all that have voted thus far. regards, bob.

awwww, another sensitive snowflake... grow up, kid. regards, bob.

...how can you be a real engineer without critical thinking?? 🤔 regards, bob.

I disagree with you Charlie. I think the main issue in Thailand is how they handle criticism when they do something wrong. They act like petulant children, especially in a work setting... I read the other day that the average IQ in Thailand is 89. What do you think that says when it is extrapolated across the population as a whole? regards. bob.

Rodney King comes to mind... Horrible Phuket Pigs, they have always been a disgrace. regards, bob.

Just an empirical question, tis all... Try not to take it too personally. regards, bob.

Sexual Intercourse 3 times a day - Maybe a 4th with Mrs. Smith if she's lucky! Keeps the blood flowing. regards, bob.

They are about as useful as a chocolate fireguard. May as well not be here at all! regards, bob.

...I didn't create the drama - the horrible scammy jet ski operator did with his lies and threats! regards, bob.
