You have zero idea of the reasoning behind Trump banning bump stocks. If you actually knew you wouldn't be linking to opinion pieces. Debating with you is like trying to have a conversation with a Biden cultist. Talk about an alternate universe. Prattle away...

I was responding to rabas's post.

You must have missed that I want the war to stop, so why would I support more war?

The human world has always been so. They used to be called kings or colonists in the past. Still going on as I write, in a region you are familiar with, though they are called settlers.

Disagree. It's more likely that even western leaders don't want to be leading radioactive wastelands. How much are you willing to pay to buy bullets for Ukraine, or is that for other people to do? If you are so keen for Ukraine to win, I hear they are recruiting right now, or is that only for other people too?

How would you know? Rock Hudson fooled his fans till he died of AIDS.

How can you try to discuss a topic about "ladyboy bars" without discussing ladyboys? If you want to restrict it to "men who go with ladyboys" start your own thread.

Bali sounds like Thailand with Australians and Julia Roberts. Not that appealing.

You might do well to actually have an idea of what is involved before descending to the gutter in your mind. Pattaya orphanage doesn't cater only to young children. It also caters to disabled, elderly, homeless and blind people. There is also a nursery where the babies are a bit young to "play with", but they do need changing, bathing and feeding.

Yes. My wife got a job in Pai. Nice quiet town, with lots of nice restaurants along the lake, and a good base to explore the hills around. No farang nightlife- never saw any other farangs while I was there. I was OK without. I did stay in C M a whole year, and there isn't anything deserving the title there.

Because most are.

A relationship is supposed to be "good". Why else would we bother?

Perhaps so, but when the title refers to non existing "red lights" I probably know as much of the content as I need to know. I have yet to read any western media that doesn't portray Pattaya as a modern day Soddom.

I could make the same sort of assumptions about Biden, but that would be giving him credit for having a functioning brain. We can all invent some hypothesis about any famous person, but it's of more use to spend our time debating reality. Trumpist? I said right at the very start of his first campaign that he was going to be entertaining, and I wasn't wrong. It's more entertaining than Coronation Street for sure. The movie is going to be a big hit- Oscars even. Do I want him to be POTUS? Not really. It's time for someone with big boy pants to take over to sort the myriad problems facing western civilization. It's almost too late to save it, but some actually clever person just might be able to rescue us from THE END. That isn't either of the 2 candidates at present. Unfortunately, given the ability of the human race to always get it wrong, I think it's almost time for the fat lady to start singing. It's not likely to happen all at once though. The Roman Empire took hundreds of years to fall, so we likely have 10 or 20, even 30 if we are very lucky.

Read up on nuclear winter

That's going to be one amazing closing down party.

You are correct. Only one problem with that- the west wasn't capable of doing that. Hitler defeated France easily, defeated the British, and almost captured the army. America wasn't in the war and wasn't going to be till Hitler declared war on them post Pearl Harbour. Sooooo, just how do you imagine the "west" would have stopped Hitler?

If the photo is of the sole Russian defense against Ukrainian air attack on Crimea it's already over. All the crafty Ukrainians need to do is send more than 2 missiles and it's game over for Crimea. One suspects it's not that simple though.

Sadly, IMO, the people dying don't really count to the people sending them to the front. IMO the war will end once it becomes politically impossible to keep making western taxpayers buy missiles for Ukraine. Still a ways to go till we reach that point though. They put that day off by pretending that Russia is paying by stealing Russian money in the west. That's going to go down well with all the other counties depositing loot money in the west.

Biden, betrayal! Say it isn't so. It's not at all likely that the US will do something as underhand as that, surely? Oh dear oh dear, what a terrible thing to say about the leader of the free world. ( sarcasm alert for the humour devoid ).

LOL. You imagine that Putin would not be replaced by someone else just the same? Gobachev is in his grave, not waiting in the wings. Had not some nutters started on about NATO in Ukraine likely none of this would have happened. Always some nutter looking to stir the pot.

I was intending to see a lot of places in the world, but once I discovered Thailand I never saw the rest as Thailand was The Place. Never needed to go anywhere else. Do I regret it now? Just a little. I'd like to have seen Petra and scuba dived in the Red Sea, but we don't get everything we want in life.

Another western "full of BS" doco, no doubt. Even the title is BS. There are no "red lights" other than traffic lights in Pattaya.

If the visit to the gym is a big deal it's not surprising you get bored easily. Why don't you use your time to help the less fortunate? The Pattaya Orphanage is always looking for farangs to help out. You might even like it.

I have zero idea of what that means. IMO the only difference between Pattaya and C M is that Pattaya has a decent night life and C M has a pathetic semblance of night life ( ignoring that Pattaya has a beach and is closer to Bkk ). The traffic is just as dire, and the buildings are just as ugly. Oh I forgot. Pattaya has way better public transport than C M.
