Opinion Stakes are immense as Biden presses Israel to change course
connda replied to CharlieH's topic in The War in Israel
Genocide is not "made right" with reciprocal genocide as well as the collective punishment and ethnic-cleansing of civilians. Condoning genocide, ethnic-cleansing, and collective punishment of civilians is morally reprehensible regardless of who is engaging in those act or whom you believe to be in the right. -
Phuket taxi driver drives away foreign woman over air conditioning dispute
connda replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
I've lived here 16+ years now and I can honestly state that this one instance isn't "destroying the image of Phuket taxis" but on the contrary, it's the reoccurrance of Thais physically attacking tourists, making this an accurate representation of the Phuket Taxi Problem that has existed since I first arrived and probably will be an issue until international tourists wake up to the realities of Thai-on-tourist violence as well as the dangers of Thai roads in general in that area, and begin to avoid Phuket to the point where the economy is impacted. What expat here doesn't know the Phuket taxi mafi stories? You'd need to be living under a rock. Regarding "destroying the image of the country?" Yeah. That is true. Just look at the impact of violence such as this - a Thai man physically assaulting and pulling a foreign women out of his car. I find it revolting just like other instances of Thai-on-foreigner violence that leads to death and injuries. These instances are paid lip-service by Thai politicos, but the actual problem is obviously still a problem, and if history is any indicators it will continue to be a problem in the future. In the meanwhile - blame the tourist.- 158 replies

Ambulance blocked by pickup truck in Pattaya sparks social backlash
connda replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
That's because 'in other countries' there are police who patrol in patrol cars, and when the police in patrol cars see this they stop the driver and issue a citation. Blocking an emergency vehicle 'in other countries' could end up with you in jail or paying a hefty fine. Here in Thailand social media users get excited and nothing happens to the violator because? There are no Thai cops patrolling the roads and handing out citations for violations such as this and other common violations as long as your arm which together create the caused for Thailand being awarded the moniker, The Most Dangerous Roads In The World every other year or so. In fact what is more likely is that the truck who blocked the ambulance's way ends up filing criminal defamation charges against the social media user who posted the picture. TIT.- 37 replies

Once you have had Dengue, then the Dengue vaccines seem to be effective at dampening the effects of a second bout of Dengue. However, if you have not had Dengue, then the vaccine can cause Antibody-Dependent Enhancement (ADE) which is the proximate cause for the problems with Dengue if you are reinfected a second time. It worth reading the medical literature (if you are capable).

I'm sure that Covid shots used off-label should probably clear up her condition. -

Fact check that soon and it will be "true." Thailand will eventually be pressured into accepting and assimilating "Economic Migrants" although "Farangs" will never, ever be classed as "Economic Migrants." Pretty soon Thailand will be pressured to accept "labor that is willing to take jobs that Thais refuse to do," as well as being pressured to accept "refugees" from the places across the globe where The West is blowing up civilization in the name of "Our Democracy." Fyi. Western "Our Democracy" doesn't mean Non-Western "our democracy." As only Western Democracy (in its democratic, republican, socialist, communistic, or fascistic forms are true 'Democracies" according to "Fact Checkers" who are fully aligned to those promoting "Our Democracy" as "Our Democracy" actually means that you accept the "Rules Based International Order" wherein you obey the rules of those promoting "Our Democracy" and reject the rules of those promoting the international norms promoted by Non-Western "our democracy. Confused? You should be.

Really - If you're going to present the world with a "great reset" level event, at least make sure it kills 5% to 10% of the population (or even 1%) who contracts the illness before promoting "The Novel Corona-virus 'Plague'" (it was called just that - 'The Covid Plague' - [Google it...you can find it]) By the way. A human being who is killed due to "Deceleration Trauma" is not a "Covid Death" just because the coroner comes up with a positive Covid swab, and yet those deaths from traffic accidents, falls, etc are still being racked up as "The Primary Cause Of Death" when in fact it was completely unrelated, especially between the start of the "Covid Pandemic in Feb 2020 right up to today when this nonsense is still being promoted. This is how you "juke" statistics. Nor is any other human who died of a terminal disease a "Covid Mortality" just because their corpse tested positive after they died of a massive heart attack or any other terminal condition. Statistical manipulation and it is meant to deceive. Hence the adage: "There are lies, damn lies, and statistics." (That was pretty much the first thing out of the mouth of my statistics professor in university - and if you have a background it statistics, you can generally read through the Bravo Sierra). Instead - well - it was hyped by central governments working hand-in-hand with Big Pharma, Big Corporation, Big Media, and the billionaire elites, and it was promoted as The Plague. How do I know. Probably because my own sister in the US made herself and her husband "House-Bound" (I believe it was called "self-isolation") and well as masked constantly (in the house, in the car, and definitely outside of the house, and just "Outside" [yeah, my sister would mask up to walk in public park where the nearest human was miles away.....because - she bragged about it - which has never made any sense to me? Covid Was The Plague!!!]). It almost worked. Long-Term Research The more long-term research that surfaces over time, the more the fabrications that were the basis of the framework of "The Deadly Covid Plague" are dismantled. In the next decade this will either be completely discounted - or - we will all be living in Hell. Personally? I think it's a coin-toss as to which future we will endure. Well, other than me - my "Use-By" date is probably already overdue. Which given the current Geo-political machinations, I'm pretty well fine with.

Actually my symptoms were like this: First 24 hours - Started with a headache, then fever in the 101 F range, and then an absolutely splitting headache. Migraine type. Second 24 hours - fever in the 99 to 101.5 F range. Third 24 hours - fever broke but felt ragged and unwell - coffee tastes "off" Fourth 24 hours - stayed at home and rested still feel unwell - coffee still tastes "off" Day 5 to 6 - up and about. Feel well enough but still pop Positive on a Covid test. Wear a mask (to protect others, not me) when I go out but limit going out to the local mom & pop store Day 7 - Now negative and feel fine. No lingering effects. No "long-covid" <gasp, shutter, fear>

Which Isan town/city is best for a bit of hanky panky?
connda replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Korat. The sex trade is geared toward Thai men (like it is in most of the rest of Thailand). Plenty of shower massages to keep you busy. Rent a side-liner (who is probably a local university student) and go have fun. -

If Pfizer and Moderna et.al really want to successfully market their Covid shots, they are going to have to price them at about the same price as flu shots. Really. The shots don't stop transmission and they are now essentially marketed as "The Only Way You'll Escape Sure Covid-Death In A Hospital." The only problem being is that most people with healthy immune systems can beat the weakened mutated forms of the virus. The key term here is "marketing." What's "marketing" anyway? It's propaganda. Propaganda stops working when people eyes and ears and direct experience shows them that the marketing/propaganda is flawed. Then you can't even give the shots away1 no less sell them at about $200 a pop. 1.
