Yes, though I avoid using that term, but if you are going to use that term, at least apply it to most politicians, all lobbyists, most corporate, insurance, defense industry, and banking executives, and alot of men.

That is incredibly amusing. As if. Millions of women in the UK are paid with gifts, favors, dinners, prizes, apartments, cars and dental bills.

Hopefully, fermented sauce is not all he will be dodging soon. The people need to show their extreme dissatisfaction with this man, as much as they possibly can. Kudos to them. And why are most of them still wearing a mask outdoors?

We are power hungry, and our dictator is bloodthirsty. Thank you for not condemning our mass slaughter of women and children. We are grateful for your cooperation. Laz.

Sounds like much ado over nothing, which is about 98% of the content of social media, which I consider to be one of the most destructive forces in contemporary society and culture. Social media is 99% toxic, and 1% positive.

It is a massive industry in the US. It is labeled a donation. We are talking about millions of women. And they call themselves civilians.

If the people knew the likely extent of the stink, flith and corruption, they would likely revolt. It is probably into the tens or hundreds of billions. They just don't know and since there is no investigative reporting here, no trustworthy anti corruption agency, and no watchdog on accounting, it will likely not be revealed. At least while the army maintains power. One can only hope later these guys will face charges at the Hague and are forced into exile.

There have been very few mass shootings here, relatively speaking. So, is it a big problem, just yet? I do agree with urgent reform needed for the police force, the lax gun laws, the mental health issues, with some, and a shortage of psychiatrists. Also, a major problem is the lack of willingness to have one's life examined, and a stubborn refusal to look within for the source of the problem. And lastly, the horrific issue of trying to saving face, and the staggering weakness this creates.

Good advice as usual from the Spark!

He is ill informed, as usual. Placing him as health minister has always been a huge mistake. Time reveals that more and more. He would have been more accurate had he said it is a milder and less addictive drug, which results in less psychotic behavior. Let us call this mistake #230 from the empty suit minister.

So, does the term apply to politicians? How about Western women who offer sex to men who pay their rent? Or a dental bill? Or five nice dinners?

Testing negative for drug use and proving you are not involved in the sale of drugs are two completely different things.

Monopolies, or near monopolies are never good for the consumer. Just look at True Visions, and what a disaster that is, in terms of programming and cost. Burkina Faso has better cable options. Stop the merger.

Yes, but then you have to deal with an entire nation that resembles one giant Tijuana! One issue you will find with Hua Hin, is that the younger, hotter gals (if that is a consideration) tend to demand and command more revenue from their men, and due to a relatively affluent expat population, they seem to get it. Also, there is ALOT less nightlife and action in HH, than in Pattaya. And a very minor amount of younger, hot women in the bars. There are a lot of women but most are older, and not very pretty.

This guy is ill equipped to solve a serious problem, of this nature. He was never qualified for the job, he completely blew the initial vaccination effort, he presided over the closing of the nation to tourism, and the overly draconian restrictions later, which severely damaged the tourism industry, and the local economy, and now after a those failures, he says he wants to lead the nation. A true empty suit. A bottom of the barrel minister. Waging a war on drugs is like trying to stop the tides from rising. You either approach the problem from within (police reform, legalization, counseling options for addicts, cracking down on highly suspect border officials, etc.), or you just stop the hyperbole and charade.

I consider it judgmental and disrespectful. Many are good women, who are trying to earn some money for their kids, for their family or for their future. I don't consider it fair to tar them with that brush. Most have little in common with drug addicted street walkers in US.

What kind of statement is being made, when great expense is being carried out building the new rail line, and the nation stoops to using donated, second hand rail cars to improve upon a 70 year old system? How sorry and pathetic is this?

Are there really no alternative opposition candidates out there? Why is this relic even being given a platform? Why do his tweets matter? How long has he been gone? Is anyone listening? Is this a sign of how desperate the people are, or is this symbolic of how weak the opposition is?

Freelancers. Call them what you want. I don't use the word prostitute. Simple respect.

They will be soundly defeated in this fruitless war. Every nation who engages in this loses. You can't fight a war on drugs. You can reform the police. You can attempt to educate people correctly. But you can't fight a war on drugs. Sheer hubris. Or just plain old PR.

Anyone know of other areas with good beer bars and gals to chat up? Sukhumvit area has lost a lot of bars since covid. Excluding Patpong. Yikes. Or good freelance bars besides Thermae and Oscar's?

Is Putin coming? Hmmm. Not confident the reassurances are totally reassuring to world leaders. Though a guy like Putin likely would bring his own enormous team that keeps him alive on a daily basis. He is a man with a lot of enemies.

That is most amusing. It is as if the police are declaring war upon themselves. Who will win the war?

That is not a bad idea. Or maybe just a patch or a necklace saying WG. Or PTF for a part time freelancer. You are very experienced? ATW for around the world. You want to be seen? You want us to know you are available? Show us!

Outstanding. That is really good news. Perhaps people need more encouragement to seek help?
