Yes, and after the Muslims conquered the land from the Crusaders in around 700 AD the Jews were basically absent till after Britain took over from Turkey as the rulers in WW1.

How about in 1930 then? Ruled by Britain and populated mainly by Palestinians.

If, and that's a big IF humans caused the weather to change a bit and make some areas a bit unpleasant to live in, the country that since WW2 has probably been the most wasteful of carbon based fuel in the history of mankind has only itself to blame if it's getting a bit chilly there, IMO.

Obesity tends to kill people earlier than expected and causes heart, joint and diabetic problems. The US is apparently quite obese- need I say more on that? I'm sure that the US has the most advanced health care on the planet, but only for those that can afford it, or have excellent insurance.

As you posted in General sub forum bit hard to know the streets to recommend, and the wife/ GF can tell you where to buy them, or can find out.

I never ever drank unfiltered tap water in LOS. Used to buy the big bottles from 7 11.

When I lived in the village, family wasn't poor, but no flush toilet or hot shower. Didn't have a bum gun till I put one in. They are just not regarded as essential. Flush toilets are never "essential", just the bum gun.

It does.

I can only speak for myself but no desire to be remembered in this rotten world. Ashes to be scattered without any memorial suits me.

It's a forum, and I'll comment if I want to. Don't like it, don't click on threads that will obviously contain such comments.

If part of it is tiled, likely it's part of the building, but if pavers likely public space.

What's compassion? The whole world is full of tears of those that lost relatives and friends- shall we cry for them all? Do you feel sad for those you never knew? Death is inevitable for us all, but the living grieve for the person they knew that will never be seen again. Perhaps working in an occupation where people died all the time made me hardened to death, so I don't see it like those that never see death.

Human nature. No different to passersby gathering to gawp at a road accident. No need to call down hell fire on people for acting naturally.

Didn't carry a driving licence in LOS??????????? Some unanswered questions about this. I don't get the obsession with returning the remains. He's dead- burn the body and send the ashes back if wanted. While I wanted my ashes scattered in home country, I wanted to be cremated in LOS if I was lucky enough to live there till I died. My life insurance would have paid for someone to go over and bring them back- no need for begging on internet.

Either someone is telling porkies or the transportation company were incredibly incompetent. While I have no proof, I suspect someone took it, got scared at the reaction and dropped it where it would be found.

LOL. if that were true why are men being convicted of having sex with students and also female teachers, though seem to be given less severe punishment than males? https://www.wlwt.com/article/lakota-student-inappropriate-relationship-with-student/42189307#:~:text=LIBERTY TOWNSHIP%2C Ohio —,14-year-old student. https://abc13.com/teachers-accused-inappropriate-relationships-sex-with-students/1478521/ https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/sex-abusing-teachers-number-of-convictions-and-allegations-skyrockets-in-2019/B7BZU4UE3ICDUER622T6T3UZZY/

Agree with some of that but not the death penalty. Far too many innocent men killed for lies believed by juries. At least life imprisonment allows for the truth to come out.

IMO that sounds more likely than a spring offensive when Marshal Mud takes over. Tanks and vehicles work better on hard ground.

Perhaps, but never affected me directly or indirectly.

I gather your wife is Thai, so my comment about happening in Thai circles stands. It's not your land, after all.

Example of corruption you personally experienced would be helpful.

LOL. Are you just an unlucky person? Only time I was stopped by a cop he didn't ask for anything, just sent me to the office to pay 200 baht fine ( with receipt ) for expired registration. If that's corrupt I can live with it. I hated immigration, but never asked for an "extra" payment.

Didn't he spend the war years bending over for GW?

The loonies are winning. Sad world they want.

Half a goal beats no goal at all.
