Well, had one male whom I thought was a friend, and one female neighbor. All I can say is that if you do not have a Thai friend, count your blessings. And if a Thai person starts befriending you, be very very careful.

As an optical illusion, I love it. As a means to make people stop, well, it might (sic) work one time. Meanwhile, get the police out of the Amazon coffee shops....

I simply cannot hear the word 'sorry' any more. The word sorry should be accompanied with an equivalent voice tone and body language, showing that one is genuinely sad, and repentant for an action that caused pain or damage to someone. Here, I see a smile, a quirk, when this word is used, not genuine, and particularly when someone says it twice, like 'Oh sorry sorry', with no sign of being repentant, none. So all I see is are lies. A 'Wai', should be used to show respect towards other people, but I see only a mechanical gesture, before again doing something totally selfish, and devoid consideration toward others. Or in this instance, the 'wai' is used to beg for others to find a person not responsible (again), for his actions. The words used carry only a 7% significance of a message that one is trying to convey, the tone 38%, and the body language, 55%. A 'Wai' is used with no words, so no intonation to judge its truthfulness, and the body language is a mechanical gesture forced upon children to show their irrelevance compared to adults, or people of authority.

But he does look older than 5 doesn't he....

Yes agree. The fetus should have rights and liberties over its life and body.

Oh wow. But that is what the government is doing, that is what the Judicial is doing, thinking, discussing, proposing actions, and then getting its nose in the life of everyone else... And typically everyone else is able to have an opinion on such actions, which influences his views of the governance.

I always say that the day one dies is the most expensive day of your life. Typically. If one has $10,000, then the smart thing to do is to spend it all before d-day. Failure to do that, your death will cost you $10,000. But if you spend it all, your death will be free. And you might die with a smile. ????

if we do not read the Western news it's better............ Then you might still consider going on holidays to places that were once safe destinations. Mexico (Cancun - Acapulco for example). Do not consider going there any more. Jamaica (Oh yes, been dangerous for decades already). Venezuela. Haiti, used to be a wonderful place to visit. Visitors were revered. Today, better to take a one way flight. Somalia ( friendly some 60 years ago ????) Colombia, Nigeria, Afghanistan, And more. These places used to be safe, and it is not getting better. But from what the Western news seem to indicate, I can still visit some Buddhist countries, and make it back home safely. ????

Peripheral vision. No such thing here...

The BIB will work at directing traffic lately(not again). Anything not dangerous to themselves. And the typical layman will get brave, 5 on 1, perhaps 4, but the bravest will even choose an elderly lady one on one, if not their GF. But this one here, drugs or not, has reached the lowest level attainable...

Well not again. What you see as right wing propaganda, is a lot more like propagating facts to anyone who can still listen, i.e., for those who have not been fully brainwashed by left wing absurdities.

Ok. So I stand corrected Regards

Careful now. Some people might consider this kind of preaching of yours as a bit rude...

Oh yes, many parents screw up their kids, many. James Redfield wrote a great book on this, titled, "The Celestine Prophecy". While this book is mainly about insights and spirituality, the psychology related to parents and children is astonishing. Particularly the 4 manipulative strategies that can be used adversely by parents in dealing with children, that will damage the psyche of every next generation. Children being subjected a parent who is: 1.- An Intimidator 2.- Interrogator/critical 3.- Distant and aloof 4.- Victim will have a devastating impact on how their children will respond to life experiences. And there is a polarity between 1 and 4, and 2 and 3. For example, a child having been criticized by one parent, will have an everlasting strategy to become distant and aloof when being criticized in adult life. And I have known people who were not subjected to such manipulations by their parents, and wow, were they ever nice to be around with... In this instance here, we are presented a case (sic) where the father is an 'Intimidator.' The strategy of an intimidator is to crush another individual until this individual accepts to respond as a victim. And difficult to know in advance if a chosen partner will show any of these manipulative strategies towards eventual children. But then I told my son that he should ask a partner to describe how the parents were. And then, the main problem is, as it is being expressed, 'Love is blind'. So the expression 'good luck' exists for such situations...

The small boat -- carrying students ages 12-15 back from an English class. Quite sad. At that age, my parents would take us to the cottage of my grandfather. With a few cousins, we used to be able cross the lake and back. (Parents did not know about that ????) And I taught my son how to swim, supervised. And here in this instance, they are trying to determine responsibilities for this tragedy, but only as far as the eye can see....

If that is the correct definition of Thainess, then it is used in a sarcastic way here.... For known reasons...

A law that is not enforced is the same as no law at all. (Ok ok, at least in Thailand) So these laws are only good to justify the salary of bureaucrats writing these texts. Serves no useful purpose...

Why must you make it out someone said that Thailand is the only place in the world with bad people? But in fact, if contests were held about which countries rank high in dangers related to bad events, bad people, bad personalities, bad parenting, road fatalities, lack of responsibility, lack of maturity, well, it is just that Thailand would win many prizes. See, no Thai bashing here, just celebrating success.

Stay away from refined sugar, not just cutting down. This means no more Thai food, as all Thai food contains some 20% added refined sugar, granular, or from added commercial sauces. Stay away from it...

How about some signs nearby indicating that signage work is being done. Of course this is asking a lot in the 'Mai bpen rai' country...

Hummmm. In which way is it better to say that someone beat you at a comment on a subject, rather than simply say that you 'agree' with such a comment,,, ????
