I totally agree with what you had to say, people forget that Israel has the largest single lobby in the United States. It is working! The amount of stuff that they pump out, the antagonism and the hatred toward any criticism leveled in their direction is incredible. It's astonishing that they actually consider themselves a democracy when they're subject to so much control of the press manipulation, suppression, and coloring of the facts. Anyone who criticizes Israel is a Jew hater. Anyone who criticizes policy is anti-Semitic. Anyone who expresses any sympathy for the Palestinian people supports terrorism. The level of insanity in regard to anything Israel, the memes, the slogans, and the extremism. The Israeli PR machine is nonstop. Sorry, not an Israel sheep.

Neighbour strikes boy over ‘drunkard’ name-calling
spidermike007 replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
A very tiny man, who's emotional development stopped at the age of 13. He looks like a man, he smells like a man, but he's actually an adolescent with no self-esteem, and no ability to just simply ignore someone calling him a name. What a goon. Lock him up. -
Thai Boy Rescued After Father’s Abuse Over Religion Choice

That conversion might represent a backwards movement of the soul. The father likely has never experienced one inner moment in his life. Pure ritual and rule, rules, rules. He is a smart kid. -
Thailand Set to Recriminalise Cannabis Amid Expert Outcry
spidermike007 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Pot should be legal worldwide. It harms nobody, unless you count poor memory and lack of ambition as great offenses against the nation. Totally regressive politics. And what strikes me as amusing, is how those who are the most judgmental about ganga, tend to be heavy consumers of alcohol. And no mention of the incredibly toxic effects of heavy drinking from the judgment brigade. I consider alcohol to be infinitely more toxic to the body and mind. Not to mention society. Yet, it is legal. Like many things, moderate use can be enjoyable and relaxing for many. And from a medicinal point of view, it is astonishing. My mother smoked. She had severe degenerative osteoarthritis of the spine. She was in alot of chronic pain. It helped her alot. And my guess is it was far better for her health and mind, than pain killers. -
Nonsense. I despise these filthy terrorists. Their acts were unforgivable. Never have I condoned, nor supported these pigs. I hate all forms of extremism. Hence, my dislike of Natanyahu and current policy. Unfortunately, criticism of Israeli policy is so forbidden, that is it construed as support for Hamas. That is just an ignorant trope. You know better.

Thailand’s Aging Population Challenges Economic Growth
spidermike007 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I know a couple who are quite wealthy, and they decided not to have children, instead they've amassed a world-class wine collection with a 4,000 bottle celler in their basement. They have a gorgeous home, they have great independence, and travel all over the world constantly pursuing their passion of diving with sharks at very exotic locations, they eat in the best restaurants and they basically said that all that was a reasonable trade-off for not having children. I totally agree. It is a far higher quality of life without kids, for some of us. Many are questioning bringing kids into the world, at this point in time. I get it and I love it. -
Thailand’s Aging Population Challenges Economic Growth
spidermike007 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Some are predicting China's population to drop to 650 million by 2050, and I've seen some predictions that Thailand's population could drop to 35 million by 2060. -

Thailand’s Aging Population Challenges Economic Growth
spidermike007 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Well I certainly understand the conventional wisdom, and certainly a lack of growth will induce a certain amount of pain on the part of the population. But big picture there are some enormous benefits for the planet. And humanity. I do not believe that the population growth that the planet is seen over the past hundred years can be sustained. The quality of life is dropping for most. -
Not for a nanosecond. I despise Hamas. Any criticism of Israel's action seems to result in an over simplified meme like "you support terrorism", if you don't agree with everything Israel does. Kind of a George Jr. sort of "there is no grey, you are either with us, or against us", Iraq war justification nonsense. WWII was slightly different. Hamas does not have concentration camps. They are evil, though. That we agree on. Sorry, not in the simplification camp. My soul is not bought and paid for.

Cannabis crackdown: Only marijuana buds return to the blacklist
spidermike007 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Yes. And regressive, non-visionary, self entitled, and true bottom of the barrel types. -

I second that, though it will never happen. Too many addicts, and too much govt. support. It is such a filthy habit. I never understood it. -

I sure hope I am still around as the population declines. Unfortunately, there are still 20 counties in Africa, which are desperately defying the trend. All of them Muslim.
