Research these purported feats and you will see that none of them actually correspond to what is claimed. This is why it is so important to think critically, independently and always double-check information.

The power of propaganda.

Magellan circumnavigated on an East-West trajectory. Nobody has ever circumnavigated on a North-South trajectory (because it is impossible to do on a level plane).

I concur.

Absolutely.

Not by bodies independent of the pharma cartel. This is where RFK comes into play, to dismantle this intricate and nefarious network of influence and censorship.

Yes, but you would not deem them credible. We are past the debating phase now, RFK was appointed to shed light on this issue and amend existing regulations and processes.

RFK knows the MMR vaccine causes autism, so whatever he's saying here is either yiedling to the pharmaceutical industry or a long-term strategy to buy peace and time before the exposure of how dangerous that vaccine actually is. But it is very unlikely that he actually believes it is safe.

He's 71 and obviously in much better shape than the average geriatric of this forum.

Minister of Health… You know, "you are what you eat" and all that jazz. RFK looks great for his age, I'll have whatever he's having.

Why should US taxpayers pay for what is going on in the Donbas?

Just last week: Pfizer names former FDA director as chief medical officer https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/pfizer-names-former-fda-director-patrizia-cavazzoni-chief-medical-officer-2025-02-24/

He looks very unhealthy.

I will post three quotes in response to the above sophism. They are particularly interesting when read through the lens explained in Lincoln Barnett's book The Universe and Dr. Einstein, which I already mentioned earlier in this thread and which details how modern “science” interprets data to fit into pre-existing models and concepts to explain and “save” the observable phenomena, i.e. observational data is twisted to fit the desired models. The people quoted below are far more relevant than you and I on the matter, yet I anticipate that you will dismiss those quotes, simply because your belief in heliocentrism precludes you from going there. “People need to be aware that there is a range of models that could explain the observations… For instance, I can construct you a spherically symmetrical universe with Earth at its center, and you cannot disprove it based on observations… You can only exclude it on philosophical grounds… What I want to bring into the open is the fact that we are using philosophical criteria in choosing our models. A lot of cosmology tries to hide that.” – George Ellis – W. Wayt Gibbs, “Profile: George F. R. Ellis,” Scientific American, October 1995, Vol. 273, No.4, p. 55 “The relation of the two pictures [geocentrism and geokineticism] is reduced to a mere coordinate transformation and it is the main tenet of the Einstein theory that any two ways of looking at the world which are related to each other by a coordinate transformation are entirely equivalent from a physical point of view…. Today we cannot say that the Copernican theory is ‘right’ and the Ptolemaic theory ‘wrong’ in any meaningful physical sense.” Hoyle, Fred. Nicolaus Copernicus. London: Heinemann Educational Books Ltd., 1973. “So which is real, the Ptolemaic or Copernican system? Although it is not uncommon for people to say that Copernicus proved Ptolemy wrong, that is not true. As in the case of our normal view versus that of the goldfish, one can use either picture as a model of the universe, for our observations of the heavens can be explained by assuming either the earth or the sun to be at rest. Despite its role in philosophical debates over the nature of our universe, the real advantage of the Copernican system is simply that the equations of motion are much simpler in the frame of reference in which the sun is at rest.” Stephen Hawking – The Grand Design – page 39 – 2010

I could take that statement and replace "a flat earth theory" by "the heliocentric model". It's a pretty valid assessment, there's no denying that. Beliefs are extremely hard to sway. Though I have one distinct advantage over you, IMO, in that I have already demonstrated that I can revise my beliefs, as I spent the first 40 years of my life believing the Earth was round (I am now in my mid-40s). I am open to revising my Flat Earth belief if I am shown valid evidence that I am wrong. The heliocentric model is rife with flaws, but to acknowledge it, you would need to first acknowledge the possibility that you could be wrong (and that includes all the principles and constructs based on "scientific advancement" which you consider incontrovertible). I really think this is the core issue..

Of course a good insurance cover is required, but most of them don't cover you if you don't wear a helmet. This is the real issue. This guy would probably be doing fine if only he had worn a helmet. What is the solution to this problem? Awareness campaigns at Suvarnabhumi arrival halls (with graphic pics to drive the message home)?

Driving a motorbike without a helmet is 100% a demonstration of ignorance. These people don't realise what will happen to their head in case of an impact, even at low speed. Just today in central Hua Hin, I saw a group of Italians on Honda Clicks, no helmets and obviously not familiar with what one is supposed to do or not on Thai roads. A potential disaster each passing second. IMO the solution can only be political. This is preventable.

A farang is what you are and what you will always be.

And that is why I can't remember the last time I saw a pregnant woman, and why every country in the world is suddenly facing a "demographic crisis". To the sophists: no, it hasn't been happening for decades, it has been happening for three years.

Air France has a free disability assistance service, but they do specify that they can't help to go to the toilet or eating onboard. It might be worth checking each airline's specific services in this respect. https://wwws.airfrance.fr/en/information/passagers/acheter-billet-avion-pmr-autres-handicaps

If that is really the political goal, I fail to see its relevance. Even low-income retirees still get 40k per month, which is more than the 20k per month of the YouTubers currently flooding the country on short-term visas.

The purge of what?

Correction, that's the way online forum BS works. Kind of like the "smarter" people here who were adamant three years ago that one couldn't extend their visa if one wasn't vaxxed.

A person being amputated of both their hands is anything but funny.
