LOL. I'm pretty sure that when the nightmare started it was being claimed that the vaccine would keep us safe. That's my memory of a long time ago, and I don't have a link. Nobody that gave me a vaccine ( other than the flu jab ) previously told me that it wasn't going to give me life time cover eg polio or smallpox.

LOL. The forum isn't about "what experts say" is it? I thought it was a place that we could say what we think, though we can add information from those that may be considered by some to be experts in support of our opinion. I was referring specifically to "Then why bother saying it all all? What does saying something may or may not happen contribute to a discussion?"

They'd better hurry up to do something with them, as only till 8th of next month before that committee may vanish. Are they even allowed to make the returns public ( though I expect the usual leakers to do so anyway )?

Doesn't matter what she is wearing, as most men are only looking at something else. Thankfully I like 'em small, which is just one of the reasons I loved LOS.

The rich sucker she married and divorced.

LOL. I agree. I wasn't interested in sleeping with them, so why would I want to know any? Also, the males in my Thai family put me off even trying. Having said that, most of the Thai males I had encounters with during normal life ( in m'bike repair places, neighbours, shops etc ) seemed like perfectly normal pleasant people, and most were helpful when they could be. I never had a problem with Thai men per se, just not interested in making buddy friends with any.

My rule #2 in Thailand. Never ever be around Thais drinking alcohol. My Thai BIL used to turn violent after a few glasses, and throw the furniture around.

Long past the point of no return IMO. Forcing us to drive electric cars ain't going to fix it either.

IMO the real risk is from overpopulation, not climate change. If the population had not increased from less than 3 billion to 8 billion and increasing in my lifetime, would we be facing the same problems? https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=world+population+1950s The world's population increased from 2.5 billion in 1950 to around 7.3 billion in 2015, and is expected to continue to rise until 2050/2100 under most UN projection variants.

In NZ they pretty much are, and the restrictions just a bad dream we had a while back. Other than a few wearing masks, one wouldn't remember it had happened. No requirement to have had the jabs for most, and other than on public transport ( I think that is still in effect ) no mask mandates.

I seem to remember some time back that they had to admit that it didn't actually stop people getting covid, hence the need for jab 3, 4, 5. etc.

LOL. If all the posts that are about "probably" never happened, there probably wouldn't be many posts left to read. It's a forum, for people to post probably's on, not an international news organisation.

First bit of good news I had today.

It's nice to see the racism and naked bigotry on the forum admitted. So, we'll give you that, and hope that more of our Brits (most often) and Commonwealth members will come out as well. Maybe preface statements with something like, "I'm a racist bigot, so here's what I think." So much more honest. In the rush to post a sarcastic comment per your usual operating procedure you failed to comprehend what I actually posted, which was that my comments only refer to farangs. If you want to make that a racist statement, carry on- you just make yourself look foolish. Exactly. In turn, they should feel no responsibility to make your life better. Yes, but if they want my money they need to give me something worth paying for. I never expected them to love me while taking my cash. But as noted, I do feel my life is also better than in the old days, overall. Sure, as long as YOU are doing OK, that's all that counts. Never mind that Pattaya isn't doing well, despite it could be better with competent administrators. Next? Still no reply to that question I see- can't think of anything that is better for tourists perhaps.

That's only the ones you know about. In NZ before brothels became legal many "massage" places were fronts for prostitution. In the UK it's in private rooms, not brothels per se.

It's when the money doesn't go to Thais, ergo zero money to Thailand, regardless of the cost of the tour. However, probably associated with the cheaper tourist as seen on Walking Street behind a ( presumably ) foreign tour guide.

Nothing to do with the amount of money they spend. It's about most of the money going to non Thai companies.

Only to people that don't know better. PS I'm not including the ladyboys that harassed passersby. They were a hazard the cops should have done something about.

I personally know someone that was so sick after his second jab that he thought he was dying. I refused to take pfizer and waited till an alternative was available- just happy I didn't get bad side effects.

Congratulations of the relevant question. I didn't have a "booster" shot as soon as the government stopped making our lives miserable to force us to have one, and will not unless they do so again. I did have the covid infection, despite the first 2 unwanted jabs, and lasted about 5 days, no worse than a cold, few weeks of long covid after, and back to normal. Extremely happy I didn't have to take a third, unwanted, jab.

I omitted to say that, but that's what I meant. They would be buried under the sand.

No brothels in your country then?

Some posters are only into ridicule. I guess they get off by attacking other posters with sarcastic inanities.

You are deflecting. There is no excuse to be bringing up things I said many many years ago, that have nothing to do with present realities, other than to be offensive, and I am offended.
