Actually I have just mine to stop clearing out the spider webs as spiders are our friends.

 

I agree, but i don't allow too many of them in a room, i want to keep them in good health

Great idea Donald, then, as soon as a teacher shoot a kid, give a gun to everyone of them, problem solved !

How can it hurt if you dont know and hopefully never will?  And it was, after all, a few years ago.  We all have something from our past that we regret and would rather kept hidden.  She has more than taken care of him in every other way over many many years.

I understand your point, i just beg to differ.

To know the truth is a priority for me, and a few others.

I have an old dear friend who has been married to a younger Thai lady here for more than 20 years.  His wife has openly told my wife that she has had her Thai man on the side over the years although now a thing of the past.  But at the same time it is plainly obvious that she cares immensely for my friend and waits on him hand and foot day and night.  And he is extremely happy with her always singing her praise.  

When I first heard of her playing up I was disturbed and wrestled with whether to tell him or not.  However I came to the conclusion that my old friend may not have many years left in him and if he died next week, month or year, he would die a very very happy man not knowing.  If I or someone was to tell him the truth, what would be accomplished??  Sometimes what you dont know dont hurt you.

 

 

Well, truth may hurt, but ignorance hurts more.. But that's just me.

There seems to be differing views as to whats the best way to go.

 

So lets say that    '' Your ''    partner has been seen by a friend in similar indisputable circumstances including photographic evidence  .

 

Putting to one side the eventual outcome of the situation and how you would feel / what you would then do. 

 

 I want to ask You  this ..........

 

 

 Would you want your friend to tell you . 

 

 

 Yes  -  or  -  No 

Definitely, if he was a friend, i would tell him, and i would expect a real friend to tell me... Otherwise friendship is just meaningless.

So, a man was killed, and i am seeing countless, pitiful attempts of humour from the posters here.

.. Will you ever get a life ?

We have not many info so far, please try to show some respect to the victim of this crime.

Well how did your mother end up with such a low opinion of women?

 

As to introducing me to fear.  5555  you are not just a marine, you are supermarine  555

It's not a "low" opinion, but rather close to reality.

Apparently the women very much in general, are wired to take as much advantage as they can from the men in general.

..Read Briffault's law..https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/machiavellians-gulling-the-rubes/201610/briffaults-law-women-rule

Shame on the murderers, hope they get what they deserve.

RIP Mr. De Stefani.

Unfortunately , our 'developed" competitive societies have made us so hungry for love and affection, that many of us fall prey of unscrupolous women in Thailand, and other countries.

All it needs for them is just smile and open their legs.

The solution is simple, never think with the small head.. But it's not that easy sometimes.

What have they been drinking, i want to try some

What makes you think the owner doesn't like it?

I dare to guess he won't like it if he's a old and bitter guy

Yeah, because a little impromptu artwork is such a blight on a mildew stained wall that any self respecting owner would keep maintained and painted.  They've actually done the neighbors a favor if someone now has to go out and paint the dilapidated wall.

 

I'm not in favor of tagging, mind you.  But neither am I in favor of letting the neighborhood look like a slum 6 months after the construction crew leaves.  Especially when labor is 300 baht a day to keep it painted.  (Edit:  and a few extra baht gets you mildew resistant paint)

 

Now, if they tag a nicely maintained or historic site, get out the cane.  (or is that somewhere else?)

I have the impression that the caning brigade is out in force again.

Some people obviously cannot discern between vandalism and street art.

Pity the guy was interrupted in his work, it could have looked nice with some white and yellow spot added to that filthy wall.

Just what I was thinking mauGR1 , I am a mere 70 but I won't look that fit at 77 as I don't now.

I was not thinking just about his physical shape, but also about his sense of humour.

Well, after reading news about monks fighting in the street, using illegal drugs and having sex with minors, this one looks pretty innocent to me

Hats off to the gentleman, he looks in good shape at 77.

I hope he gets some help from the authorities, and his belongings back soon.

One of the most exciting music adventures of the 60s imo.... Some critics said that this band took music at such a level that every silence is worth as every note..

Talking about the juke-box era, i was 10 years old, this song was just amazing imo.

Great song, i wonder if many can remember it.

I only like half a dozen Beatle songs. I think the Stones had more good songs but they took their ideas from Muddy, Buddy, Hooker etc

 

 

 

 

 

 

Half a dozen ? Harsh, for me 2 dozen more likely.

But you are spot on about the Stones, and i dare to say most, if not all the great names of pop music , including the Beatles, were copying the music of the American Black community.

imo, all the great pop music of the fabulous 60s owe a lot to the American Blacks.. Just my impression.

He has paid his debt to society and is entitled to a fair hearing. No need to feel sorry for him but no need to throw the guy under the bus just yet.
Let the police and the court system build a case or release him, not rocket science

..Although violent rape deserves more than a couple of years in jail.. If it was your daughter ??

Their music is rock not heavy metal.

You are probably right, but it's hard to define some music with just 1 or 2 words.

Heavy metal- hated by way more people than like it. Same with genres like punk, rap, hip hop etc.

To be included it would have to be loved by all, or at least not hated.

Are Elvis, Fleetwood Mac, Dire Straits etc hated by anyone

Ok, you don't like Led Zep. But many of their best tracks are acoustic, not heavy metal at all !

You feel sorry for him? Have you read about his background before he came to LOS? Have you read how he laughed and joked about having a cigarette when he was arrested?

 

If you ask me the wrong person fell from that balcony...

On 2nd thoughts, i have to admit that you are most probably right, this guy looks like a real creep.
