precisely, it's hard wired. this is why on a subconscious level woman feel inferior.

woman are evil, but here's the twist they have no control over their predatory behavior as long as men are suckered into their trap. read: Jung, Fredric Nietzsche, Freud, Aristotle and many more. they are slaves to their hormones. men on the other hand are endowed with reason.

just got back from America and apart from great Mexican food and a lot of useless S%%% that i don't need Thailand is way laid back. and yea the cops don't hassle you here. i am here because of my cat. America has gotten way to pretentious and arrogant. stupid ignorant MAGA consciouses prevails. fast cars and barbecues. just anger and obesity everywhere and not a lot of smiles

strange values, sir

i am in the California now, just cars and shopping malls, although the beach is nice, but cold water. can't wait to return

better yet lax to cnx direct

when i was growing up in the fifties, sixties it was a great country for the middle classes. now America is a shadow of its former self. the Chinese will one day own it. parts of L.A. now look like New Delhi. so much homeless. America does not take care o its own including its veterans. just more military spending and tax cuts for the rich who own the system.

public caneings like Singapore

fair enough, not their country. can you imagine what the Thai government would do if the farangs joined in anti government protest here?

i am rescuing animals here and unfortunately i can't find anyone to replace me. all the kids can't put down their phones

agree, read Malthus decades ago at Uni. the writing was on the wall but greed succeeded

i lost 3 HS buddies in Vietnam. those of us who did not go fought like hell in the streets at home to end it, and we succeeded. i don't see the kids today standing up to Americas complicit support for genocide in the Middle East. too busy with their phones.

i am so happy that i did not bring any children into this sick world and add to the suffering. it was not supposed to turn out this way, but least i am ok and relatively healthy. we where indeed born at the right time and in the wealthiest country and got to grow up with horses and surfboards on the beach in Malibu with the best music! what where the odds of that?

looks kind of smokey

average cost in los angeles is 9000 usD for laparoscopic. Thailand is a rip off and that's in Beverly Hills!

and acting like idiots, good riddance

this stinks. Thailand has a horrible human rights record. at the same time it tolerates a lot of "quality" tourist. Thailand bending over to Big Brother to the North.

Thailand was once not the easiest place to travel to and perhaps a little risky. cheap fares and ATM's put an end to that and of course the internet. you really had to have a little character to get here. now anyone can fly

lock him up with BB

the girls where a lot slimmer and smiled more. Western food chains put an end to that

i recently talked to someone who obtained a new class of retirement visa. she said all she did was confirm $20k or $30k CAD in her Canadian bank and not a Thai bank? sounds good. and btw if they are going to tax us they should provide health insurance.

that and so many other things like their silly "loss of face" attitude.

this i don't understand. i was shopping for some very expensive cameras and watches and most of the staff could not speak English.

in Vietnam students will seek me out in the park to practice English. why not in Thailand?

English should be taught in schools in Thailand like it is in most Western first world countries. it would provide better opportunities for advancement.
