I take it that is a result of a few too many last night, but seriously, what goes around comes around and if you want the US to throw away the constitution, and the rule of law, remember who has most of the guns and knows how to use them.

I'm beginning to hope that happens as well. At first I wanted him to fade away and allow De Santis or another Republican to win, but the attacks on him have become so outrageous I hope he does win and repays them in kind.

Does Trump get his money back, now that it came out? Being arrested isn't important- only being convicted is, but if he isn't convicted he may be able to sue them for it- I hope he does. Just picking a jury will be entertaining as I doubt there is a juror that can be selected that is impartial, ergo a guilty verdict can be appealed on that basis.

LOL. They can issue all the arrest warrants they like for Russian politicians, but chances of having them in the court has to be zero ( IMO ). I think there is a name for this sort of thing, but I forget at the moment.

Given it was an unreal place built on sex, sex and more sex, it's hardly surprising it could be regarded as a cult. As for him being "quiet", a guy that had women most men can only dream of has no reason to be "energetic".

I get what you said and I agree. My reality is probably different to everyone else's, but it's good enough for me. I was very religious as a pupil and became a sacristan at an early age. That was my reality then. However, the Chaplain told me that there had been complaints that I was too young to be a sacristan, so I had to give it up, which was the beginning of my realisation that religion was not what I was looking for. So being an agnostic became my reality then. Many years later I had my "Road to Damascus" moment and then that became my reality. IMO, anyone so invested in one version of reality that they can't accept a different reality exists is probably missing out on growing spirituality. Perhaps it was a good thing I was rejected as a sacristan, or I might have been religious all my life, and lived a ( IMO ) sham.

Again, it's nothing to do with the work per se, but if some Thai wants revenge on the farang- could be just for something the farang did to make them lose face. I helped teach village kids English without a permit, and nothing happened, but had I "annoyed" the wrong person it would have been an opportunity to take revenge on me.

If it's YOUR yard you have nothing to worry about.

It's only not a problem unless he "annoys" the wrong person and they want revenge on him. I did lots of jobs ( outside the home and in full public view ) that would have got me in trouble had I "annoyed" the wrong person, but I was always careful not to do that.

I came on here expecting a variation on the "no hands" restaurants, and I was sadly disappointed.

It's a public forum so anyone can post anything within the rules, and some like to post negative things. Only mods get to say who can post.

I didn't say they'd be killed on the spot, but IMO they can expect to be beaten. An American pilot would likely be worth several Russians in a prisoner swap.

Sorry but I don't see any point to that post, nor did I imply support for anti trans policies. Unfortunately the world is IMO impacted by Biden's policies- I wish it wasn't.

I doubt any Russian soldier will see a difference between an American "volunteer" and a mercenary.

Seriously? 5555555555555 I watched different ones but stopped watching them as they were too biased, like CNN or not worth watching because they think football is news- BBC, and ended up with Al Jazeera. It's probably that they are not dependent on ads that allows them to be neutral.

Mercenaries are, far as I know, not covered by the Geneva convention and are not treated well by the enemy. They better hope they don't get shot down and captured.

I went for a massage specifically to get my spine walked on. That was the only thing about a massage that actually made me feel better. I once had a misaligned neck and went to get my neck "krick krack" and the masseuse refused to do it.

Do the massage? Of course, as I'd have had to pay regardless. It's not as though he gave me a happy ending or anything like that.

Just think of your granny and the problem becomes unaroused.

Dying holds no fears for me- we all die, so there isn't any reason to be fearful. What does scare me is dying slowly in a great deal of pain, but hopefully euthanasia will be available for me if I end up like that.

You seem overly concerned about farangs that don't conform to your druthers. It's their concern if they don't want to associate with farangs, and you don't get to tell anyone what to do. Do whatever you want to do and let others do likewise- you'll feel better for it.

Reminds me of my last year in LOS. I was living in an hotel off Loi Kroh in Chiang Mai. My day consisted of Thai Visa forum, tv news channels ( mainly Fox as it was the most entertaining ), tv movies and cheap DVDs from local market. I did try the local bar beer group, but it was too boring to bother with. The most exciting thing I did was going to the mall to see a movie. All in all, a quiet, uneventful life- bliss.

I never went out of my way to avoid anyone, but I never made the effort to find a farang friend. Had one just happened that would have been different, but it never happened. The one and only time I attempted to join a farang social club ended when I was completely ignored by the members when I visited on a club day.

I also never had a farang friend in LOS and didn't care that I didn't.

I'll reply to this because I already posted a few times about my cancer. How many of you have lived through a terminal illness ,such as Cancer ? How did you cope with this diagnosis and treatment ,and I mean that mentally I had prostate cancer. The day I found out I had to take the day off work, but after that just carried on- life sucks anyway, and it was just another bad thing happened to me. Has your attitude on life changed What about you guys with stage 4 of something eg prostate has your attitude to health changed ? Attitude didn't really change. Made no difference to my life style up till I had the op. Do you take care now much better than before in regards to nutrition and exercise No. If you were going through the cancer treatment did you become more spiritual? No. Do you now cope with dying much better ? Luckily in Australia we now have the legal ability to go with euthanasia We all die, sooner or later. I've been DNR for many years now. Since the op ruined my life, I'm just waiting for the end. Is euthanasia available in Aussie on demand, or only if in agony with end stage disease? I hope there is no one going through stage 4 cancer here but if you are please share your experiences Since the op stopped me dying of cancer, the complications of the op have ruined my life, and if I could go back, I'd have the hormones instead. The treatments available now are far less likely to have same side effects, but not available to me.
