He can't possibly have a history of bad behaviour as it would seem he spends all of his free time in bed with someone  . . . . .  

I realise you are being humerous, but one ejaculation is enough to fertilize all the donor eggs. So actually only 5 minutes with a jar and an "adult" magazine.

I wonder if he has dreams of starting a baseball team with his own children?

I think you're fear mongering. Bottom line, as McD's automates massive layoffs aren't happening. The roles are changing that's all. No one has ever expected to get rich working at a fast food place, nothing's changed. If they switch to oven chips people will notice and stop going. Of course I realize the meat patties aren't crafted in the kitchen, but someone is there putting it on the grill, flipping it and putting it on the  the bun and adding the ingredients together. Fast food restaurants will need these minimum wage people for years to come.

I was speaking about every job in the world, not just McDs. Last time you used a parking building in a western country did you pay a human or a machine? In my country it's all machines.

Fast food places will only employ people as long as machines are more expensive. Once machines are cheaper the people are gone. McD isn't a charitable organisation.

If they switch to oven chips people will notice and stop going.

Oven chips are more healthy. More people will buy their chips there if they are oven chips than ones full of heart killing saturated fats.

Calm down dude.  I only know US laws and it's illegal in most of the USA.  But you missed the most important part of my post which states that "(the ICRC) bans its staff from paying for sexual services even in countries where prostitution is legal...."  So what on earth are you blathering about?

I already said about 3 posts back about missing the bit about the Red Cross wowser management dictating personal behaviour, but that's nothing to do with

I'm pretty sure that prostitution is illegal in your home countries.

which applies to every poster on TVF, not just US ones.

From the article:

 

[The ICRC, which has more than 17,000 staff worldwide, bans its staff from paying for sexual services even in countries where prostitution is legal, it said.]

 

So if that's "company policy," those who got sacked shouldn't be surprised.  And while those living in Thailand (Pattaya in particular) may be shocked that this rule even exist, I'm pretty sure that prostitution is illegal in your home countries....so it shouldn't be all that earth-shattering.

What on earth are you blathering on about? Prostitution is legal in Australia and New Zealand, Britain- legal, Denmark- legal, Portugal- legal, Singapore- legal, India- legal, Spain- legal, US- legal in some places, Turkey- legal, Central and Sth America- legal in many countries, Finland- legal.

Many others as well, but not going to research every country in the world.

What chew talkin bout?

 

Paragraph one

21 people dismissed or resigned during or after investigation... One can only assume this means case proven (or about to be)

 

2 only contracts not renewed due to suspicion

 

paragraph two

if there was a disaster in un zud, then its a disaster zone... aid organizations are very clear about the conduct of its personnel in a disaster zone... this is a conduct issue (involving sex)

 

no no matter where the disaster/ emergency is, sexual exploitation is recognized as a real issue, and this is the driver behind Red Cross resolutions (32 I think), which, for its employees, removes any grey areas

 

paragraph three

military people on RnR are not Red Cross representatives, nor are they bound by Red Cross employee guidelines (rules)... their conduct is a matter for their command structure (and their own morales)

 

paragraph four

the policy is known, and as such, every person engaged by the Red Cross, is bound by this... if they don’t like it, they need not agree to it... in which case, they don’t get the job

 

regards what you would say to management... well... you wouldn’t have the option, because you wouldn’t be given the job, as you obviously disagree with what the Red Cross holds dear.

 

paragraph five

oh... you stopped... ?????

 

 

I deleted the bits about the Red Cross in the post you quoted before I removed them because I hadn't read the OP about Red Cross banning paying for it in countries where it is legal.

Obviously I would never work for a company that sought to tell me what I could not do in my own time. What I do in my time is none of their business. I will never donate to them either if that is how they behave.

Apparently..... but the good news is that this only applies to employees who sign a contract to work for them.

 

options include perhaps working for a reconstruction company, that probably won’t make such moralistic requirements of its workers. (Who aren’t in trust position)

I'd expect then, that the Red Cross employees are mainly management and supervisors, rather than rough men.

I'd be interested if it was management that got the boot, or if they were forcing contract companies to sack contractor staff.

I don't think the owners, exec, directors and shareholders etc will be complaining out of jealousy....when the photos of PR KiChakayan at a brothel on company time go public.

Typical deflection. If someone is bonking on company time they should get sacked, but we are discussing what people do in their own time.

Jealous bigots???

 

that takes a whole bunch of effort to get ones head around.... maybe calling someone a hypocrite would be easier to understand.

 

anyway.... jealous bigots and hypocrites do not, imho, make for caring, sharing, giving, compassionate, moral and responsible aid workers, and should not apply for such work.... work... vocation even

 

And.... the media is free to report on any news worthy items, such as Red Cross people breaching their agreements, or princess di getting squished... its a part of life in this new age... Hell... your phone probably tells the world all about you anyway.

 

 

Just where do you think all those caring, sharing, giving, compassionate, moral and responsible aid workers prepared to risk their lives to work in disaster areas are?

Saints are in short supply in this world.

Real men work in disaster areas; wowsers hide in offices because they can't actually save anyone due to being weak and useless.

If you broke your agreement with your employer, you should be fired.

 

if you suggest that PR work (for an aid agency, in particular) involves sexual payoffs... and agree to this ethos... you should be fired

 

if you take unfair advantage of those you profess to help... you should be fired.

 

lets imagine a situation I’m familiar with... you get drunk whilst representing your company, no one is harmed ( except the company who may have to bail you out of jail)... if it’s contrary to company rules... you should be fired... so let’s not make up scenarios to support unacceptable behavior ( they signed a contract... they knew it was unacceptable]

 

if you can’t keep your pecker correctly packaged, whilst in a foreign country, under the guise of assisting those souls, whilst in a position of trust, in both your employers eyes, and those otherwise trusting you, you should not be trusted with that task.

 

this needs no dressing up.... the government knows that a wrong was done... the companies know that a wrong was done... the folk fired know that a wrong was done ( some left pre verdict, because they knew they did wrong)..... yet you wish to argue differently, which is of course, your right.

 

 

 

No "wrong" has been proven, so your scenario is unproven.

How about the hundreds of US military that have R & R in Pattaya after an exercise? We all know that they ain't spending their time in the temples.

When Finland joined EU, it used to get more from EU than it contributed. Finland's economy has been stronger since then and now we are net contributor to the EU. Nothing weird or wrong with that. Overall the life has been better. 

 

Albania could be a nice location to live once it becomes accessible for European people. That's the greatest benefit of the EU for me. Ability to move and work, everywhere were we wish to call home. 

Ireland got a huge amount of "assistance" from the EU after it joined. Motorways going a few miles from the city and reverting to 2 lane were proudly signposted as built with EU funds. I think they got a good rail system out of it and maybe a tram in Dublin, but most of the money was wasted.

Now, as if we needed any more proof that the EU is doomed, they come up with this garbage.

Soooo, the inevitable happened.

Mind you, when I saw him wearing a bush hat in a tv interview he lost my support. All that BS "man of the people" from politicians is just naff.

The NRA markets membership in part by saying membership includes various discounts from companies.  Due to public pressure, many companies offering those discounts are ending them, saying they don't want to be associated with the NRA anymore.  I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the effectiveness of boycotts.  This one is already having an effect.
https://thinkprogress.org/corporations-nra-f0d8074f2ca7/

It's not going to stop people joining the NRA or make them leave. People will still join if they want the things the NRA was set up to do.

Example: McDs offers discounts on burgers to get people to buy burgers and become customers. When they stop offering discounts, McDs doesn't go out of business.

Business doing what business does. They sought to tap into a potential of millions of customers, now they think they'll lose customers if they continue to do so, but 

if they find they lose money by having done so they will quickly reinstate the discounts. There are few morals in a boardroom.

What is more likely, is that the millions of NRA customers will boycott the companies that pulled out, to punish them for doing so.

believe me, i'd prefer a different solution (like very strict gun control).  but i doubt that is going to happen.  and there are so many guns out there already that a ban of some type for sales starting today isn't going to make much of a difference.  how do you get people to turn in their AR-15's ?  making possesion illegal won't lead to everyone turning theirs in.

 

maybe it is better to just make it clear that deputies placed on duty at schools aren't really there to save lives.  they are really there to help detain students who have committed a petty crime in or around the school. 

 

It's just not going to happen, and anyway, while everyone is fixated on the lastest talking point of removing "assault weapons" even if they ain't military, the slaughter goes on in places like Chicago with illegally owned HANDGUNS.

I know for sure there isn't a heaven or a hell.   Life is merely bioelectricity, once the process of generating electricity stops so does life.  

 

 

 

LOL. How do you know that the mind doesn't continue after this body stops, but in a different environment? I'm aware that it's all electricity, but everything is, not just a body. Even gas molecules are just electricity holding subatomic particles together. Our mind could be transferred to a different mode of support.

Glad you guys have mentioned that yes, the price quoted above for a laughing gas session does seem quite high! (to to speak...)

 

I'll just add that someone here recently posted info about a dental clinic in India that specializes in medical tourism for implants. And as I was reading their website, they were talking a lot about their use of nitrous oxide as part of their treatments to put their patients at ease.

 

Nitrous certainly puts one at ease as I can testify. Great stuff.

Would need an injection as well though, as I doubt it's enough on its own.

We have booked a flight to Thailand in April, also booked a hotel in Pattaya, but now about to cancel that one due to too many negative reviews we saw after booking.

 

Any recommendations for any decent hotels, not too expensive (1200-1500 bht per night), somewhere near a decent beach, and ability to get transport to visit other places.

Also recommendations for transport from BKK airport to a hotel in Pattaya.

 

In fact any recommendations at all.  I have never visited Thailand.

 

You will help yourself by giving more information.

What sort of interests do you have? different parts of Pattaya are good for different interests. Do you want to do tours outside Pattaya?

How many of you are there? Children? Plenty of family resorts in Pattaya.

How long are you staying?

When are you staying? Very important because the Thai new year is in April. 

There are no "decent" beaches in Pattaya, but the best of them would be the south end of Jomptien beach where less people go

If you want a really "decent" beach you need to go to the islands or the coast south of Chumphon. That is a whole thread on it's own.

Depends on how many as for transport to Pattaya. If 3 or 4 taxi is best, but for 1 or 2 the bus from downstairs is fine. Taxis have a big gas tank in the boot so would be a problem if 4 large bags.

I have never visited Thailand.

I'd love to help you on that, but it would take all day. If you had any specific questions I'm sure we can help.

Meanwhile, there are hours of reading on the internet to do if you just google.

The writing has been on the wall since the days of Eddie Shah but there were those that didn't bother to read. Jobs are not being lost, just created elsewhere.

There will always be a job manufacturing the physical capability of modern technology. AI is very much like the human spirit, it will always need a host in which to operate.

Oh dear. Look at the "McJobs" being created. Part time, low hour, minimum wage, yes; proper jobs that pay enough to live on, buy a house, raise a family without both parents having to work long hours, not so much.

You think all those kids going into debt to get a degree in "media studies" are going to get a high paying job?

At the moment, nursing is about the only degree requiring job with prospects of a decent return I can think of, and few want to do it because it's such a <deleted> job.

Best jobs are non degree occupations like welders, mechanics, plumbers, electricians and builders. Getting a qualification in them at the moment is the ticket to the big money.
