This is especially sad to see in the men.

We have a lot of choices in life and many men actually choose to be emasculated and subservient. 

Always assume all social media is the enemy, and treat them as such. Alot of people are an open book online, and that can't be healthy. 

One can only hope this works out. This could end up being Trump's Vietnam or Afghanistan, a 20 year war costing trillions. The difference being that neither of those nations had the kind of money that Iran has, nor the oil reserves, and the kind of international influence when it comes to terrorist organizations. The secondary aspect of this is that Iran has one of the most talented hacking teams on the planet so the amount of misery, damage and terror that they can rain down upon the US Mainland is unfathomable.

Trump of course doesn't know this because he's not someone who possesses any vision, he never reads anything, nor does he pay attention to his intelligence briefings. So he lives in a blissful state of ignorance 24/7, but some of us know better. 

I'm not a supporter of Iran, nor am I a supporter of terror, however the way Trump goes about things is always wrong, he never gets it right.

This is of course a total insult to the Thai people but they're kind of used to being put in a very subservient position, and never considered when it comes to leadership. The Toxin family needs to go, everybody knows it and it's just a matter of time, be rid of the dinosaurs.

You have proved my hypothesis. Your dignity is unsurpassed.

Cedars-Sinai has a blog post about this topic.   Unfortunately it isn't straightforward to read it.  I can only read it by using the Brave browser in the speadreader mode.  But here is the link:

https://www.cedars-sinai.org/blog/boosting-your-immune-system.html

 

Here's the intro to the blog entry:

 

The idea of boosting your immune system is appealing, but is it even possible to build up your immune system so that you rarely get sick?

Dr. Suzanne Cassel, an immunologist at Cedars-Sinai, says that the concept of boosting your immune system is inaccurate. There's also widely held confusion about how your immune system functions and how your body is designed to combat diseases and infections.

"You actually don't want your immune system to be stronger, you want it to be balanced."

There are a lot of fabulously ignorant doctors out there, and typically doctors do not believe in diet, herbal supplements or other things that can be used to boost the immune system and create a healthy environment for the body. They have no idea and they're completely unwilling to even admit that there might be a connection.

To my mind, that's the ultimate definition of ignorance. 

Trump is deeply unpopular, though many people agreed with his ideas, the way he has carried them out has been horrific, and the man has been a failure once again, just look at the numbers. 

OK. 12,000 covid cases and how many flu cases? How many highway deaths? How many deaths from other causes? And why isn't that news?

Are you always verbally abusive? Is that who you really are?

Except on the full moon parties, I suppose.

Correct. And those are quite easy to avoid. 

All of the Southern Islands have been decimated over the years with way too many tourists, way too much development, and a commercialism that's rivaled only by Southwestern Bali, which is hell on earth. The only southern island left that has any semblance of normalcy is perhaps Koh Phangan, which is still quite delightful.

AFAIK most countries are trying to strike trade deals with each other, and ignore the actions of an economic half-wit in the White House. China appears to be the chief beneficiary.

 

It is written in tablets of stone tariffs are inflationary.

 

If some poster wants to cite a case where they have not been, I am listening.

You are absolutely correct, Trump getting elected and behaving as he's been recently has been a wet dream for China and the CCP, he is making them more influential by the day, and he is turning a lot of folks towards China who previously felt adversarial towards them.

What a spectacular goon, my guess is that history will record him as one of the dumbest, most ignorant, and greatest  failures ever. No doubt the 2nd worst president in US history. 

That's about the same as the average IQ in Washington DC. 

I know a lot of Thai people that aren't particularly good at science or math and may not score high on an IQ test, but on the street smarts measurement they're off the scale, so how do you measure practical intelligence and what does an IQ test result really mean? 

I find it very inspiring and having studied Hinduism and read a lot of ancient Hindu scripture it makes a lot of sense. The idea of a six year old Mozart sitting down and composing concerto's? I don't think happens in a vacuum. The treatises say that we take that mastery with us, that the soul carries it for and that you end up being born with a great talent or a great gift. That to me makes a lot of sense, disappearing into a void of nothingness? Nah, I don't need that level of hopelessness. 

In regard to coming back as an animal or an insect according to the Hindus that's called transgression, not reincarnation and it only happens to those who have really truly misbehaved, in a horrific manner. 

Like Amin, Castro, Hun Sen, Marcos, Mugabe, Stalin, Hitler, and quite possibly Trump and Miller, who have behaved in a truly heinous fashion, or imposed a tremendous amount of suffering on the poorest of the poor, throughout the world.
