Now why would you infer that I am getting steamed up? Where do you get that from? If you write this way, no wonder that I misunderstood what you meant about dental assistants... And yes I did see a demeaning of dental assistants in your text. If it was not your intention, perhaps you could re-write your text, which I copy here and is as follows: ''Exactly. Why else would they be working in such a boring, intellectually stultifying job? No room for thinking, and no need, nor wish to think.'' And I was very calmly replying to this narrative, suggesting to you, that it at the least, appears to be demeaning...

That anyone who would want to commit a crime, which could end up in murder, to choose an older fellow, which would be at his advantage.

Ok. Finally a good thought. Looks real good....

Why would you post such demeaning texts towards any people, or any type of work. Many people in this forum have parents or family members who hold jobs that are even less prestigious than dental assistants. And they are very good people who do the best that they can... End of discussion with you.....

I did not write 'How does a 25 year sentence attract people to kill old people?' Please learn to read.

Hummmmm. Dental assistants have an IQ level of 100 at best....

But I had some very nice relationships with girls just at the height of the bell curve. An IQ of 100 was good enough to create a great bond. Perhaps even better than any of the gifted ladies that exist out there....

Well, if you are looking for girls who are so honest and truthful, all that you might find are girls claiming that they are feeble-minded, and looking for a generous man....

Epicurus on god, circa 300ish BC: “Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?” And more currently: "Neil deGrasse Tyson on God" Neil explains what most Atheists are really thinking. He explains that if God does exist and is all powerful, then it is quite evil. So for anybody who believes in a God of some kind, this person believes that there is a maniac out there going from mischief to mischief...

Yes i did go there. Many messages with a member who takes the time to write, but with no valuable content whatsoever. The best I could do while trying to remain polite. But thank you for your post. While it was not positive towards me, at least, it has a content, some merit. Regardless of your level of education. But completely irrelevant, not sure about that. If one repeatedly writes comments that have no merit, at one point I will wonder if it is related to a low IQ, or simply related to ignorance. Some people with high IQ have a lower level of formal education. So this fellow, as you say 'went there', repeatedly posted useless info. And in fact, you never repeatedly wrote useless posts, so the question was never asked to you. Regards

Again a reply containing no useful information at all. My I respectfully ask what is your level of education...

Well, I do teach as many people as I can about the facts that I have learned, about food or otherwise. Ad hominem statements and your anecdotal ones, are just the definition absence of true knowledge. So in this instance, I must indicate that I will stop trying to educate you on food matters, as your ability to learn is somewhat deficient. But I did try. Regards

So you came up with another anecdote. Good. My anecdote is a Thai friend who has diabetes, suffered a stroke, and is only in his early 60's. As many anecdotes as you can find, shows only that your knowledge on the subject is deficient. I am trying to be factual only, but facts here might be construed as 'ad hominem'. Hehe. My apologies.

Please indicate that you are not serious... You are suggesting that killing 'you', is not as bad as killing a younger person. Because of course, you would forgive the killer since he has taken not too many years off of your life. So people should be invited to kill older people, as these people would somehow agree that their death was not that bad after all. Need one hell of a lawyer...... Hehehe So please......

He or she, why would that matter in your mind????

Not at all what I am saying. Not about fancy stuff. My grand-parents lived also till their late 80's. They did not put refined sugar in all of their meals. The oil they used were not used a the highest temperature, as possible, just to save time. I studied this with a friend, who was even more into finding out about food. After listening to so many doctors on the subject of nutrition, he finally started avoiding Thai food. And He would say: I thought I was eating healthy. So if you want to attack someone, the ad-hominem style, make sure to include all the doctors who spent years in studying the subject. When I stopped eating Thai food, my health got better. What you call 'nonsense'. Your family, same as mine, did not eat refined sugar in EVERY meal, as it is the case here. Thai people eat all of their meals with a content of more than 20% of refined sugar. That is not seen in any other country. In Laos, for example, they do not use refined sugar in their cooking. The fact that your parents lived till their their 90's, does not make sugar healthy, as they probably ate very little refined sugar. As it is the case in my country. When I first came here, I did NOT know that every meal, every sauce in Thailand contained refined sugar. The fact that you do not know and understand all that I am explaining, does not make it 'nonsense'.

Is that the best answer you can come up with. Be careful that you do not poison yourself with your food...

Well, if he cares to have a nice meal, without known poisons, and geography is not a problem, hehe. As long as he is aware of carcinogens, and what refined sugar can do on a long term, and that he could finally eat without feeling that something lethal in in his plate, let's go for it.

The only place where the cooking is done with good oils, Extra virgin olive oil particularly, at the right temperature to avoid oxidation and thermal degradation, using a home made sauce that does not contain the poisonous refined sugar, seems to be in my home kitchen. So I avoid Thai restaurants, as by definition would cook the worst food on this planet. All sauces, all of them, come from Super Cheap mini-mart or Tesco Lotus, and are laced with some 20% of refined sugar. I cook Thai food, but in a way that does not make it an ideal 'aid in dying'. Avoid all Thai restaurants, if you care for your health.

Definitely the result of left wing politics on diversity. There was no such thing in my teen years. But I do remember the years when immigration came into play also. The news reported on a stabbing downtown Ottawa. We had never heard of such an occurrence. then the news explained that it was between Asian people, new immigrants... then we knew that something was about to change in our culture.... The importation of other cultures.... Referred to as 'diversity'.

"The way I see it, you're in the wrong goddamned thread. " The way I see it, you should calm down, take some deep breaths, clear your mind, so you can get a small understanding of meditation. Which may I point out, you brought in this topic...

The way I see it, is that meditation is in no way related to delusions, like God or Jesus. I studied meditation practices, and I think that they are good for the mind and spirit. I studied Buddhism, and I thought that this was such a great belief system. So I was thrilled to come to Thailand, where that belief system was part of the culture. So I was surprised to see no such thing here as the Buddhism found in textbooks. I saw mainly selfishness, lack of emotional control, irresponsibility, and so on.

That is one of the main problem with diversity. We had gotten rid of such delusions like a God or a Jesus, and these people are bringing it back. Low IQ and low knowledge people, easy to brainwash with repeating the same delusional words over and over. They get to strongly believe in it....

Well, Thailand, is just the champion at it. But I never saw any such action in my country, drunk or not...

My son came here in Phuket as a visitor. Everything legal. He went on a trip to Patong with his girlfriend. He got stopped 6 times on that day. While their helmets were quite visible, he had to show his driving permit every time. While doing so, he could see al the Thai drivers go by, no helmets, phones in hand. At the Chalong circle, it is very simple, just about all young riders are stopped, with or without helmets, and checked for an appropriate driving license I presume. I go by wearing my helmet, along with so many helmetless Thai drivers, based on my age. The focus is only on young tourists...
