It was only good for cheap places to stay ( off KSR itself ) and contacts to hang out with while traveling. Far as the street itself was concerned, it was where silly youths paid too much for "ethnic" clothing that looked ridiculous, bought bus tickets from rip off private travel companies, watched VDO movies and told other people BS stories about all the adventures they made up. Apparently the trendies discovered it some years ago, and in true Thai style it was bought up, and destroyed by greedy developers, just like they destroyed every decent beach in LOS.

Do you see yourself as a pig or a lesser animal then?

Any that have been nurses or suchlike will have some expertise in the field and it is part of nurse training. For the most part, most in distress probably just want a friendly ear to whom they can vent their problems on, but most would, IMO, be either unwilling or unable to provide an ear and actually listen. Bottling problems up is not good, but finding someone to confide in is the hard part and most of us are too poor to afford professional help. Some years back I went to the hospital health nurse because I was feeling somewhat depressed, but when I said I wouldn't take drugs for it, she kicked me out- did she make me feel better, or worse? I should have reported her for it.

No, They show signs of it but those signs are either not understood or ignored. In any event, it's hard for men to find someone that cares enough to do something about it. Women are much better than men when it comes to having support.

First I ever heard of that. Anyway, she's entitled to her opinions.

If they give the money to Ukraine, can we expect that most of it will be stolen? Ukraine is, after all, a very corrupt country.

If they go ahead and do so, expect a great many countries to look for elsewhere to leave their money. If they can use someone else's money just because they don't like that someone, then they are not to be trusted with anyone's money.

I'm not a Christian, so please withdraw that erroneous claim.

Not sure what you mean. I'm not either left or right wing as I support or oppose policies beloved of both wings.

I didn't say anything about Biden's energy level. If you are going to quote me, stick to what I said, or make it clear you are not responding to my post.

Your attempts to whitewash Biden's obvious and sometimes glaring mental problems are so quaint. I don't know why you think they will change any anti Biden poster's mind about that IMO incompetent.

They probably knew and did it anyway, or they intentionally did it to provoke the inevitable response. BTW, since when in America do clerics have anything to do with diplomacy? Isn't there supposed to be a division between religion and state?

Illegal immigrants are IMO a scourge on whatever country is taking them. IMO it's is the duty of any person that loves their country to protest against any attempt to allow them to be stay, be fed, housed and given hospital treatment if citizens are not getting the same rights. Why are citizens living on the street while criminals are getting stuff for free from the taxpayer?

You are spouting nonsense. Why would I even care about the US deficit? It doesn't concern me, and in any event, Biden isn't going to do anything about it, except make it bigger as he is a left winger and left wingers love spending other people's money I don't support Trump, I oppose his opposition and the enemy of my enemy etc. I want Trump to win and take revenge against all the people that IMO are abusing the justice system to try and take him down. I also want to see all the woke people crying when he wins. When there is a choice between an IMO incipient senile geriatric that will only get Harris as POTUS, and someone that won't get Harris as POTUS there isn't a choice, IMO. Harris has to be kept out at all costs.

You asked a stupid question, so I didn't answer it.

DeNiro thinks that because he played tough guys he must be a tough guy. He's an idiot, and makes garbage movies now, IMO.

and just who is going to evict them from their own land? Israel is never going to have peace after what they are doing. Welcome to the forever war, and forever fear.

I never thought I'd ever thank Chuck Schumer for anything, but for his comments on netanyahu I thank him. Seems the tide is turning against israel and specifically against netanyahu. I hope they have a nice cell waiting for him once he is no longer PM.

Given that Biden was excused for his crimes regarding holding onto government documents when he wasn't even a president, it's going to be a travesty if Trump is convicted when Biden doesn't even have to stand trial on it.

It may not get him any more votes as I can't vote in the US, but he's doing the right thing IMO. the treatment they have been getting is IMO worse that some that committed far worse crimes, and is just revenge IMO. You win, Mr Trump and set things right. Build that wall too.

Nonsense. If an arid climate reduced water availability Riyadh would not exist. The Saudis desalinate sea water and pump it through massive pipes. Texas is, I believe, located by the sea, and apparently it is quite sunny there. If there is a water shortage, build solar powered desalination plants. That's not hard to understand, is it? Just more fearmongering by the usual suspects IMO.

I'm calling BS on that. There are rather more gen z individuals than 12,145 and claiming that a few people surveyed are representative of all is a nonsense IMO. From the source Methodology: This Gallup survey is based on telephone interviews conducted in 2023 with 12,145 adults, aged 18 and older living in the U.S. Results based on the total national sample have a margin of error of ±1 percentage point at the 95% confidence level, while those based on the total sample of 691 LGBTQ+ adults, the margin of sampling error is ±4 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.

Perhaps she will give the luvvies a finger salute.

I wasn't aware that "trans" even existed in the 1930s. It certainly didn't in NZ when I grew up decades later . I'm sure there were some of that attitude in society, but they kept their druthers to themselves. I didn't even know they existed till I got taken to a NZ institution in the 1970s, the Purple Onion strip club, which was run by a drag queen, named Carmen. The only name they were known by was drag queen, and I didn't become aware of the "trans" moniker till decades later. Such was the invisibility of "trans" that some first became aware it existed when the Kinks' song Lola became popular in 1970.

Only till November,
