And for the sake of the ignorant expat-types who live in farang gated communities and actually don't rub shoulders with the commoner Thais, the problem is methamphetimines - yaba. It's extremely cheap, very available, and wayyyyy too many kids in the villages use it. And the connection between those who manufacture it, traffic it, sell it at the local level and those in positions of power to stop it, well, they've been walking hand-in-hand for a very long time. Big money in the yaba trade. There are a lot of casual users? Most "users" simple take pills and they are sort of limited by money, to some extent. The sh*t is really cheap now. Addicts? Some but its probably in direct proportion to each individuals ability to get their hands on enough money to afford vapable quantities of crystal meth. Tweekers - meth addicts - bad news baby. I was around that scene back in the 60s and 70s but it was never my cup of tea. I'm glad I never had a physical attraction to it. I was more of a kegger and pot type of guy back in those daze with a few analogues of this and that throw in for fun. Once out of university I bagged that scene for good and moved on to being a working family man. That's a whole other story which ended in me dumping my tweeker ex-wife and moving on.

But for those who have never used cannabis and who are on the Cannabis Temperance Union bandwagon, the trope that weed is "highly addictive" never dies. It doesn't need proof, it just needs to be repeated over and over and over again. Fyi - I used pot to help break a nicotine addiction in my 20s. It's funny how many of the "Weed Kills" types are cigarette puffing nicotine addicts.

Where do you find the blueberries?

I can accurately say that virtually no one on this forum knows what Fascism is. They only construct and fabricate a definition built around the term in order to support their personal world view. Fascism was succinctly elaborated by Giovanni Gentile and Benito Mussolini. I even provide Mussolini's thesis on Fascism so members could educate themselves. Instead? They continue to spews their own twisted fabrications of what the term Fascism means - virtually all of it wrong. Here in this forum, and for that matter, in most situations with most people nowadays, the term "Fascism" and "Fascist" are pejoratives used to malign another individual or group. That's all it is. 98% of those using the term have never studied Fascism or the history of those who promoted the ideology. We really do live in a very dumbed-down world. I find it difficult to believe that most people here were able to graduate high school.

When the Left is in power they are all about implementing the Censorship Industrial Complex. When the Right is in power, suddenly the Left becomes 1st Amendment absolutists. Hilarious.

I was a cub scout and an explorer when I was a kid. The Explorer troop was a bunch of juvenile delinquents and misfits - we had a grand time together.

A transgender male inmate in Indiana has filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump, alleging that his rhetoric incited a wave of sexual violence against her him while incarcerated. Autumn Cordellionè, who was born Jonathan C. Richardson and is serving a 55-year sentence for the 2001 killing of her his 11-month-old stepdaughter, claims that Trump's "transphobic and extremist" statements has found out that dressing as a girl in a men's prison have emboldened other prisoners and staff to target her him. There - fixed it! A better plan would be to request testosterone replacement therapy and then to pump iron with a passion - oh - and face the wall when you pick up the soap in the shower.

Sodom and Gomorrah?

If my car camera had unlimited memory, I could probably post a few hundred pictures of Thais, men and women, taking a leak on the side of the road. "local customs and laws." Yeah - give it a break.

Anyone you don't like. Even if the person calling someone a "fascist" is themselves an actual fascist. In common parlance, it's a pejorative to demean another person. But that's not Fascism. Do you really want to actually understand "Fascism?" Read Mussolini's thesis on Fascism: https://sjsu.edu/faculty/wooda/2B-HUM/Readings/The-Doctrine-of-Fascism.pdf You can also study the writings of Giovanni Gentile.

Goovey. The more earthquakes, the more tension taken off existing fault lines.

The gamma-ray ocular quantum gizmo-convert kills coral when the lens aperture opens and the sound of the shutter causes coral to commit suicide. Fact! Honest to goodness. Cameras and coral - deadly combination!!! 🐠

Blah blah blah. Any treaty the US signs isn't worth the paper it's printed on. "That Putin fails to honour his international obligations is not surprising; he is pure evil." Yada yada yada... There's the pot calling the kettle "black." Personally I don't care. Let the West go to war with all those whom they now refer to as "aggressors" and "enemies," and the overused "Axis of Evil!" I've got a pretty good idea how it all ends. I seriously doubt I'll survive to the end of the next World War. So what. I'll leave the hating and fighting for the rest of you who all seem to have a dog in the fight. Go for it!
