  1. I have no problem if all sports league implement an "Open" category for all who wish to participate. But it will never take off. Biological men who compete in women's sport do so because they can dominate women physically. They can win. They can't win against men, but they can win against women. So why not, 'eh? Women are easy pickings. Pound them into the sand and take their medals - and laugh.
  2. And now get all biological men out of women's sports. If you have a pecker then you compete in boy's/men's sports with other's with peckers. What you don't get to do is call yourself a girl/woman and then compete against biological females who are easy targets. That's gotta end.
  3. I guess no more putting men into women's prisons where it's then open season on female prisoners.
  4. He's still alive. I thought they have been "Weekend At Bernies" him for the last three years.
  5. Now we need to get them out of women's sports.
  6. The UK Supreme Court just affirmed that biological men who say they are women, well - are not "women." Plenty of sources online. Just one here: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/16/uk/uk-supreme-court-ruling-definition-woman-intl/index.html
  7. Please please please please please friends. Make sure to get your mRNA Covid boosters at least twice annually as recommended by the experts. Safe And Effective! 💉 💉

  9. Add a zero to those post numbers and you'll begin to understand the game.
  10. Songkran - I just stay off the road until next week, stay home, and enjoy my coffee.
  11. Dear StopDrink Network: Have you all been hiding under a rock. It's always been this way. If anything, Gen-Z are introducing a new era where younger folk are bypassing getting pissed-drunk during the holidays. But "flouting of booze laws" has been happening here since they had booze laws to flout, which by the way are outdated by Western standards. Ya'll complain about Thailand when in the EU it's standard practice to start drinking at lunch which pretty much shuts down the rest of the work day as the drinking just continues for the rest of the day. I know your organization is Thai, but try a trip to the EU and find out what a drinking culture is really about.
  12. There is nothing wrong with the lifestyle. Don't worry about the jackasses who feel superior to everyone else and never miss an opportunity to promote themselves as "special." Ignore them. Enjoy your life. Eventually you may get to be my age (seventies) and decide to set down roots here. Then you'll still deal with the same people who will still be seeking to show how "special" they are (yeah, and like I have a $5 million dollar mansion in a gate community and I go shopping at Paragon every weekend when I'm not drinking Macallan Lalique VI scotch by the poolside with my entourage of Thai woman and ladyboys, and Lady Gaga and Madona will be stopping by this afternoon and....blah blah blah) - it never ends. Just enjoy your life and your lifestyle as it's yours to enjoy. You've probably experienced a much more diverse and full life then these self-styled "somebodies" and have met a wide range of very interesting down-to-earth people during your travels. It's a good life. Don't disparage it. Btw, Thailand used to be a great destination. It's lost a lot of that charm it had 40 years ago. Try other places around the globe which are more welcoming and can offer that old world charm Thailand once had before going commercial.
  13. Beating her girlfriend senseless would have gotten Ms. Tom a slap on the hand. Carrying a weapon without a permit (I'm assuming) and shooting a Thai citizens (or anyone for that matter) is going to get a lengthy prison stay unless she can buy her way out of it.
  14. It happens in every country during major holidays. It's not unique to Thailand.
  15. I'm waiting for the next news article which complains about all the bad, misbehaving, and rude foreigners during Songkran. Those "WOW - Look at all the foreigners pouring into Thailand - Thailand make BIG MONEY, jing jing!" articles are usually followed within 24 hours by "'Bad, disrespectful farang did 'this' and did 'that' and the Thai public are OUTRAGED and SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!', say Pol Lt. Gen. Somchai Preetlejeep." Coming soon....
  16. Miss the opportunity: "Brake Failure"
  17. I'm waiting for the day that 10 Thai "security guards" head in for the kill on a foreigner they plan to gang-beat and find John Wick. "Are you not entertained now!" Well - I've got a long wait methinks.
  18. Another day in paradise. Hence why I live in Nowhereville in rural Northern Thailand. Left that nonsense years ago.
  19. I guess we won't have to worry that their 3 in 1 coffee will disappear from the shelves.
  20. "The Merry Little Minuet" They're rioting in Africa They're starving in Spain There's hurricanes in Florida And Texas needs rain The whole world is festering With unhappy souls The French hate the Germans The Germans hate the Poles Italians hate Yugoslavs South Africans hate the Dutch And I don't like Anybody very much But we can be tranquil And thankful and proud For man's been endowed With a mushroom shaped cloud And we know for certain That some lovely day Someone will set the spark off And we will all be blown away They're rioting in Africa There's strife in Iran What nature doesn't do to us Will be done by our fellow man! ❤️
