But as anything there will be a counter reaction. I sadly think you are mistaken. I think the enemy within already won, and us poor misguided males just haven't realised it yet.

Perhaps, but I only came on to answer the headline, not the OP.

Even more she is just not a nice person, from what I have seen of her. It may be unfair, but a female candidate has to be more appealing ( I'm not talking physically- if that was a criteria Merkle would never have been a look in ) to voters than a male is, and IMO Haley is a fail on that.

Has The World Gone Mad? I expected something more than a discussion about why the OP doesn't want to be involved with trans people, and he is not in the wrong, IMO, but I came on here expecting a more general discussion of how the world has gone completely barking, so to answer the headline, I give an unqualified YES

Samui turned into tourist hell early this century, and I made Phangan my go to location instead. Provided they didn't manage to put the airport in it's probably still a better option than Samui, especially up in the north east. The south is not so good and has it's own tourist hell hole on Hat Rin, but ( at least when I was a frequent visitor ) the rest of the island wasn't infected. Koh Tao became a no go for me decades ago. A classic case of how to destroy a paradise island by overbuilding.

I have no sympathy for anyone that was foolish enough to think Phuket was a good place to live. It's been a <deleted><deleted> for many years, and I gave up on it entirely this century, except for a visit post tsunami to see the destruction for myself. Sadly they were just rebuilding the same <deleted><deleted> it was before the tsunami. Do some never do any research before choosing where to relocate? There are so many far better places to live in LOS than that place. The OP doesn't mention just where on Phuket Island they live, though I suspect it's Patong, however, I believe there are some nice places on Phuket island on quieter beaches. Probably nicer because farangs don't want to live on them.

It's not as though Biden is any better though, is it? Is this how low the US politics has become, tit tat exchanges about how decrepit the other is and not much about anything positive? IMO the US deserves whichever less than desirable candidate wins if this is the best they can come up with.

I can't say if it's true or not, but IMO if a party is so nuts that it chooses a visibly deficient politician as a presidential candidate there is no telling what insane policies it may want to do.

and now there is a media that gives Biden a pass for all his faults, but unfortunately for his supporters, every time his handlers let him out he exposes just how far past his prime he is, IMO.

Haley just isn't loveable enough. I wouldn't have supported her either.

Sooooo HRC won the US presidential election! Was I dreaming the past 7 years?

I'm all for love rather than war, but I suspect that was a typing mistake.

and then they put a blockade on it, turning it into a huge prison. There is no excuse for israel's collective punishment which is a crime against humanity.

They've also been arresting hundreds of West Bank Palestinians and holding them without charge. IMO a vile regime that uses force to subdue an illegally occupied population. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67600015 How Israel jails hundreds of Palestinians without charge

Sooooo, posting the images violates the IDF code of conduct, but nothing to say about the atrocities being done to Palestinians.

I agree 100% with you. I concluded long ago, and I might have posted such at the time, that the plan was in place and just waiting for an excuse to put into action.

Just seeing reports on Al Jazeera about an israeli tank that destroyed a civilian family in a car and then the ambulance that was sent to them was destroyed and the paramedics killed. Words can not describe how I consider the <deleted> that did such a vile thing. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/02/10/gaza-israel-palestinians-war-ambulance-girl-family/bb7bf3ea-c84f-11ee-bbc9-9b5ca9b20779_story.html “They are shooting at us,” 15-year-old Layan told the Palestinian Red Crescent. “The tank is next to me.” And then there was a burst of gunfire. She screamed and fell silent. That began a desperate rescue attempt by medics with the Palestinian Red Crescent, one of many during the war in Gaza and one that ended Saturday with the discovery of their ambulance, blackened and destroyed.

Irrelevant. They are out there even now saying that despite few supporting women's sport and them making way less advertising money, women's sport "deserves" as much money as men's teams, just because women are worth more.

Indeed. It took me years to realise just how brainwashed western men have become. They have always had an edge over men though, commonly known as The Power of the <deleted>, and it is a strong force, not to be disregarded. Only rich, powerful and famous men can reverse that power. Money, power and fame is the most powerful aphrodisiac known to mankind. Works every time.

Women are more clever than men. like it or not, They get men to do the dirty jobs and they do jobs like lawyer or such then get into government where they can pass laws to stop men having man fun. In NZ they even passed a law saying that if we live with a woman for more than 2 or 3 years ( I forget which ) even without being married, they can still get 50% of the man's goodies, even if they did nothing to earn them. No, women ain't stupid.

If she took my blood pressure it'd be rather high, LOL. If I win lotto, I'm off to LOS and I'm going to have three of those looking after me, so I never have to go without a nice view.

Well said. who wants to live as a decrepit old man anyway? I'd rather go out mid joust than simply degenerate till my body just stopped.

If you have to ask why having sex is worth a 12 hour flight I am unable to explain it, but trust me I did it many times and it was always worth it.

I had cancer for years before I got myself mutilated to get rid of it. I never considered that I was unhealthy. I certainly had a lot of sex while I had it.

Are you aware that you are posting on a forum entitled The PUB, and not the "Forum where we don't have any fun at all, ever"?
