  1. Not so. An American is someone who has come to the US, and adopted its way of life. Some immigrant newcomers appear simply keep their own ways of life. Thus the distinction...
  2. These real men all started using this drug when they were stupid and had a bad judgment. Well, in other words, when they were in their teens that is. And now that their judgment got better, they cannot stop. In other words, they got themselves addicted to one of the most addictive drug in the world. It is known now that if a manufacturer would like NOW to introduce a new product in the market, named tobacco, they would be prevented from doing it. Vaping is now using in some places the free pass that tobacco manufacturers have enjoyed for decades...
  3. One might argue that these people had already ruined their lives. In our previous generation back home, people knew nothing about drugs, and were able to develop a purpose. There are pressures now to go back to laws that criminalizes these drugs, because of the failure following de-criminalization. Just made society worse. Downtown used to be such a nice place to go shopping, go to cafes, restaurants, and fresh fruit market. Now some people are just moving out, since it has become too dangerous an area. There is a reason for that... Addicts and sellers on the streets, and homeless people roaming the streets, as they spent all they had on drugs.
  4. S.P.A. clear 18 liter bottles is the best water I could find in Phuket. As I am always skeptical of the products in Thailand, as responsibility is not a big concern here, what I have seen in markets, and so on... So I made a makeshift test of bottled water, short of going through looking for a laboratory to analyze the water. So this test consisted merely of obtaining a sample of water used by my neighbors, and the water that I was using, and water collected from various sources. I did test large 18 liter water bottles, white and clear ones. Then I would put a cup or so of water in my kitchen blender, and I would run the blender for about 10 seconds. Surprising results as they were. I will attach a few pictures of the blender jar, which shows residue on the sides, with various concentrations, for all the water tested, except for water from two sources: S.P.A. and Nestle commercial bottled water available in most stores. I would think that some other bottled water would also show good results. But I also tested bottled water from Bangkok hospital, these bottles offered free to people visiting the hospital. Results not very good. I even showed to a doctor the pictures that I will share here, suggesting that it might be good for the hospital to analyze this water in some laboratory. I do not know if they cared... The inside of the blender jar is covered with a residue, is it plastic, one would wonder at first.... With S.P.A. water, the blender jar remains clear after blending. So S.P.A., yes.....
  5. If it is based on faith, stay away from it. Be it any religion, or any amulet....
  6. Getting sick and tired of these news focusing again and again on Foreigners. Focus on Thais giving free helmets for a change....
  7. Please read and try to understand what I wrote. I did not write that DUI did not matter in Thailand. I wrote that just about every other dangerous and reckless driving does not seem to matter in Thailand. My home country would of course act in cases of DUI, but would also act in cases of other traffic laws violations....
  8. With such a low level of blood alcohol, might very well be less dangerous than most sober people on these roads, that cause just about no concern to the RTP.
  9. Scam or theft. Pick one... Neither has any merit whatsoever....
  10. At Bangkok Hospital in Phuket, in 2022, cataract operation, all included, 115,000 bahts, one eye.
  11. Might as well show from Google the body of another person as well, who also died on the road, ideally in this same decade. Should be easy to find an archived picture of a dead person on a street. Just to make the news more complete, and help us understand what exactly happened. Next time maybe...
  12. In the US, this would be considered 'cleansing'.
  13. "a few screws loose.'' Just about the whole world love to believe in just about anything repeated often enough, and all believe that their 'screws' are firmly tightened. Not only coming from Fox News. "Sent on behalf of: -The 2.2 billion of Christians -The 1.5 billion of Muslims -The 488 million de Buddhists -The one billion of believers in Hinduism - -the 28 million believers in Sikhism -the 13 million believers in Judaism -the 104 million believers in Shinto - -The 4 million believers in Jainism -and lesser known religions -without forgetting the 189 members of the Flat Earth Society
  14. I would think that most foreigners would consider giving back a man's 'slap', so that this woman would consider the fact that men are stronger. And you may be right, most Thai men would simply not even consider to slap back. Cultural traits take over their instinctive reaction....
  15. So because of that, he cannot be interested in an event that happened in his newly found land??? You appear to be interested in this also, but you are a significant one we must conclude... Thanks for your post...
  16. No helmet does not imply automatic guilt. Now he is certainly not looking for 'sympathy', but certainly for justice. He was certainly careless, to follow what most motorbike drivers do here. Even If that does make him partly responsible for his injuries, he would still be entitled to justice. Not only in a scenario where the victim would be a member of your own family. Sympathy.... When someone feels a little emotional pinch at the sight of the oncoming accident...
  17. Well, even if you start with a lie, the fake 'LOL', there, while you throw vitriol. At least it gave you a chance to insert a confusing and unrelated video, that you were waiting to share I presume... And I see that English is obviously not your first language. Would you be Russian, or perhaps Arabian. Just curious..
  18. Yes the culture..... A culture where kids are forced to show respect to elders, rather than simply showed how to be friendly. A culture where people teach their children that adults are more worthy than them, you have to 'wai' to adults. Seems to me that when these kids grow up, they want to show that now, they are 'grown-ups', but ill equipped to do so based on their upbringing. And they do not want to fail in showing that they are now strong. Even if it takes 5 of them to show their newly-acquired manhood... There is something real nasty that has been embedded in the mind of these people.... Not seen in my culture. Anyone has another cause to effect reasoning for this behavior that we see here....
  19. ''Multilingual signage and information brochures: Providing clear instructions and information about hospital procedures in multiple languages, including Russian, can help manage patient expectations and avoid misunderstandings." One loaded precedent... How many languages, how many procedures? Oh yes, the procedure about giving your name at the reception, getting a cue number, and waiting for your turn. All these confusing steps that people of different culture and language seem to understand by intuition....
  20. Just trying to seduce her.... Casanova was not in his list of 'how to' teacher....
  21. Oh, a man from Canada that is... No more such a thing as a Canadian man. Surprised he/she is not wearing a burka, like they wear now in Canadian stores. Would have made him/her more beautiful as a start....
  22. Well how about that..... In possession of a technology to measure blood alcohol level, but they always forget at the station any hand held speed radar. Pulling over a vehicle for speeding might be construed as a denial of freedom...
  23. I was under the impression that any police officer being promoted to a higher level, promotion paid for or not, was promoted under the condition that this individual would do just about nothing to change the culture and ways of policing here. So I was wrong so it appears...
  24. What do you man by 'sugar'. Refined white sugar?. Or carbs and sweet fruit, which are not the problem.
