  1. You spent $60, LOL. I could make one for less than 500 baht, using some water pipe, black paint, and an old 44 gallon drum ( or anything similar size ). Unfortunately, millions of people can't afford 500 baht, and for many, their water has to be carried from miles away on someone's head.

    There are people that have never owned a phone, never mind a 60s touch tone phone.

    Lets stop thinking that everyone lives in western style societies, puleese.

    I'm putting out solutions. What are you and RB doing? Shooting down every suggestion from folks trying to find solutions. So, let's dumb this whole conversation down so you and RB may understand it better. There are rich people, there are well-off people, there are struggling people, and there are very poor people. If I make a suggestion for a $60 passive solar set-up of heating water, it's not for everyone. At best, it may be suitable for 28% of people on the planet. The sort of people who spend about $40/month on average, heating water by electric. There are people, like Trump, who spend thousands of $$'s/month heating water, and there are people like my neighbors who heat water (for cooking) by burning sticks they gather around their bungalo. They never bathe with warm water. So yes, there are all types of people in the world.

    Last year I met a man who captains a small pleasure cruise ship, about as long as a tennis court and with 11 crew. The boat is owned by Abrahamov (sp? a Russian Bazzilionalire). They get very rich clients, usually between 2 and 7 at a time. They cruised around the southernmost Burmese islands, Get this: In 9 days, they spent $34,000 just on diesel fuel. That's the sort of disgusting pollution that the super rich put out.

    Who do you want to address, in order to make the world less polluted, and less prone to greenhouse affect which leads to global warming? We need to deal with people on all social strata, from poorest to richest. ....and on country levels, also, as happened in Paris.

    Defenders of runaway fossil fuel (and nuclear) use often come forth with soggy 3rd grade deflections like; "not everyone is going to do that" or "well what about Obama with Air Force One?" or "do you think that will stop all warming?" . That's childish and deflecting. It reminds me of when I was in 3rd grade and my teacher reprimanded one of the boys for singing during class. She said, "what if everyone sang during class?" I remember thinking, 'what a dumb way to reprimand someone.' Incidentally, that singing boy went on to be Bruce Springstein's guitarist.

    "That's childish and deflecting."

    There is nothing more childish than believing anything but the sun and the earth's relation to it have anything to do with climate change.

  2. UDD up their usual tricks purporting to represent the majority when in fact it is a small violent minority they represent.

    If the charter is voted in the UDD will pout they were unsuccessful in stopping referendum cheating thus disrespecting the majority. If the people vote no then the UDD will pout they were successful and have the majorities best interests at heart.

    The above shown again and again since the UDD came into being is just another smoke screen to purport a respect for a majority that simply don't support them.

    So nice to have you back on TVF. I have missed your voice of reason, your knowledge, in-sight and factual posts. Far better than all the one sided biased post based on pre-conceived opinions.

    Ha Ha, I do love a bit of sarcasm LOL

  3. The only silencing attempts going on are from the "climate change" political movement.

    Suppression of dissenting views is almost the only Green/Left strategy, because they know they would lose bigtime in the marketplace of free ideas. Their little 'safe spaces' need protection from anything that might be 'Right Wing'.

    They can't abide even minor deviation from the True Climate Faith, so forced tattooings, destruction of careers, prosecution, banning from the airwaves, executions of their opponents are things they truly believe in, much like several other unsavory political regimes of the 20th century.

    You have some sort of polling information to cite to back up your statement. As I recall, you seem a little weak on that score. A few pages back you claimed disbelief in human caused climate change was on the decline. I cited a poll that showed actually it was at an 8 year high. You replied...well you didn't say anything, did you?

    This kind of nonsense, citing the extreme views of a few, and tarring 98,4 percent of climate scientists and others with it, is typical of your approach to the question of climate change.

    98.4 percent?

  4. Screwed up my last reply, I never realised fasteddie mentioned "never10" just before I did, I have been using this programme for a few weeks now and has been running like a charm stops all Windows 10 update prompts and doesn't disrupt the other updates etc, I highly recommend it

    Have you turned auto updates back on?

  5. Despite the fact they were fleeing a fight, they hit the truck. Their fault.

    The truck is not in the wrong lane. They drive on the left in Thailand. Whether he used his indicator when he was making the manouvre is another question but the folks on the bike were overtaking at speed in their effort to escape.

    Jesise Christ man your post is both hilarious and mind boggling at the same time, yes they do drive on the left in Thailand.

    But he was turning right which means he should have been in the right lane.

    If he was turning left than he should have been in the left lane.

    He was obviously in the left lane making a right turn.

    What? are you tripping? if he'd been in the right hand lane he would have been facing the oncoming traffic, have you ever driven?

    You're a bit late. I've already commented on my error. Maybe read the quotes from the full two pages before commenting.

    And you're even later, I've already seen and accepted that.

    So if it was a 15 page thread I have to read them all before commenting? I don't think so.

    Edit: ok I see you've realised your mistake.

  7. Moved to Cambodia last year, i dont miss Thailand at all its the hub of BS.

    People only move to Cambodia when they can't afford Thailand any more

    People tend to find a way to heap praise on Cambodia when it's the only choice in their price range that still gives them access to attractive women

    Tell us, did you say the same thing when you left whatever country you lived in before you moved to Thailand?

    Rather proves shirtless's point I'd say.

  8. Interesting , at the moment in OZ MS are updating everyone to 10 whether you like it or not, soon as you log on it will start updating 10 , lots still prefer 7, I have a mixture I updated about 18 months back , this is because the uptake on their free offer wasn't as good as expected and will go on till 21 June so the gurus say , then everyone will have to buy windows 10. Another concern is they are also upgrading everyone to outlook from Hotmail ,Mine was changed without any authority over on a Sat night, this has cause undue problems with people's mail , I lost any new names in my address book and got back ( would you believe ) address deleted 10 years ago , some have lost their address all together , the other day I got a historic society ( Which I am a member off ) address mixed in with my address book, I just tell u This in case they come to Thai ( I doubt it )

    "at the moment in OZ MS are updating everyone to 10 whether you like it or not,"

    Wont happen if you switch off automatic updates.

  9. If the little blighter is yapping its bloody head off, I can understand how he feels, we have one next door and its yapping away from 6am till 9pm everyday, what annoys me the most is the owner can not control it, it does not listen to him and does what it wants!! If you can't control the bloody thing you should not have one! some people have no respect for their neighbors, and can not understand why you get mad. It might be your little bundle of joy that you love but to me its annoying little @$%ker that need a kick up its arse! on in his case a can of soda!

    I had the same issue as you have and had come up with a plan so that the neighbors would understand the annoyance.

    After they had come home from work I would turn on my 1000 watt stereo system which I have set up with my TV and notebook. I found a video on YouTube with 12 hours of large dogs barking and would turn the volume up to 100, open up the windows and then go out for dinner with my girlfriend for a few hours.

    One week later their dog was gone.

    .

    My ex-wife(yes, l visit her now and then!)had trouble with a neighbour's 2 barking dogs.

    The neighbours were at work all day & the dogs didn't bark when they were home, so they didn't believe her that their dogs were a nuisance & just laughed off her complaints.

    l heard the mongrel things & they were driving me mad & l only stayed there one day.

    Anyway, my resourceful ex, recorded a tiger's roar from her computer, set up some speakers facing the dog's yard & gave it full bore.

    The effect was startling & instantaneous, the 2 problem dogs shut up immediately, took off & cowered under their owner's house.

    The dogs had a short memory & started barking again, so my ex, upped the volume & gave them another blast.

    That was a year ago & she says that they've never been a problem again although they need weekly tune-ups.

    For anyone who is interested, the site is:- www.wildfilmsindia.com & the title is "The Most Blood-curdling & Frightening ROAR you have ever heard"

    "The Most Blood-curdling & Frightening ROAR you have ever heard"

    You aint heard her indoors!

  10. You don't have to be in much of a hurry. Coral is going to be around for a long.... long.... time...

    Coral first appeared about 550 million years ago or so..... when atmospheric CO2 levels were in the thousands of ppm.

    For most of the history of coral.....CO2 levels in the atmosphere were much higher than now... . Coral survived it.. and spread around the world with the higher CO2 levels..

    Coral has survived ice ages, times so cold the continents were almost totally covered in ice. Coral has survived periods when it was so warm there was no ice at all on the planet..

    Coral survived the Permian Mass Extinction, the great Siberian Traps Eruptions....... Coral survived the great Chicxulub Asteroid Impact Event.. Coral has survived abrupt climate change of as much as ten degrees C up or down in as little as a decade over the past 550 million years.... It certainly survived the last Glacial Period, it survived the Holocene Climatic Optimum Warming... (much warmer than now)... survived the following cooling,,, survived the Minoan Warm Period, The Roman Warm Period, the Medieval Warm Period, and the Little Ice Age...

    Coral survived the very fast sea level rise of about 35mm - 60mm per year... beginning about 22,000 years ago to 8,000 years ago following the last Glacial Period. Sea level rise today is nothing like that.... now it's only about 3mm per year.

    But now.. for some reason... some people want to scare us into believing that 400ppm CO2, and 0.85 C increase over a 132 year period (1880 - 2012 I.P.C.C.), as we come out of the Little Ice Age represents some kind of threat to coral.

    If our little 400ppm CO2 level and 0.85 degree increase over 132 years is some kind of threat to coral... then all those previous times would have killed it all off already and there wouldn't be any coral today. The fact is.... it can let a whole lot warmer.. or a whole lot colder.... at fast or slow rates with a lot higher CO2... and coral will still be around....

    Just thirty miles from where I live.. you can break various types of fossil coral out of the quarry rock from when my area was a shallow tropical sea.. 350 million years ago.

    Coral ain't about to go extinct... And Global (Gore Bull) Warming/Climate Change Alarmists are suffering from delusional paranoia...

    The argument against this point is so obvious that I can't believe it needs to be stated. Yes, Coral first evolved in a time when CO2 levels were higher. But now it's adapted to much lover levels. A drastic change in CO2 levels means Corals don't have time to adapt. Oh, maybe a few will. And in 100,000 or a million years coral may make a comeback.But for the present, when it goes it won't go alone but take with it the millions of species that have adapted to life on it.

    Ancient corals and other life forms were able to adapt to high carbon dioxide concentrations because they have had millions of years to react to slower, natural climate change. Monckton ignores the vast difference in the rate of these changes compared to the present rate; he incorrectly argues that the present rapid increase in carbon dioxide is harmless. http://www.skepticalscience.com/Monckton_Press_Release.pdf

    Did you bother reading my whole post? Refresher for you...

    "Coral survived the Permian Mass Extinction, the great Siberian Traps Eruptions....... Coral survived the great Chicxulub Asteroid Impact Event..

    How fast of a change do you figure the Chicxulub Asteroid Impact Event was? ? Literally over night... "Global firestorms likely resulted from the heat pulse. Recent research indicates that the global debris layer deposited by the impact contained enough soot to suggest that the entire terrestrial biosphere had burned.

    -Robertson, D.S., Lewis, W.M., Sheehan, P.M. & Toon, O.B. (2013). "K/Pg extinction: re-evaluation of the heat/fire hypothesis". Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences.

    The planet wide fire would have raised atmospheric CO2 levels to a much higher level in just days or weeks...

    The impact would have inhibited photosynthesis by creating a dust cloud that blocked sunlight for up to a year. Further, the asteroid struck a region of sulfur-rich carbonate rock, much of which was vaporized, thereby injecting sulfuric acid aerosols into the stratosphere, which might have reduced sunlight reaching the Earth's surface by more than 50%, and would have caused rain and ocean water to become acidic."

    Coral is able to adapt much faster than you think...... as Japanese and other scientists are now finding out... and as the history of coral on this planet demonstrates...

    This of course is no surprise to those who know something about the history of the Earth... and no surprise to people with common sense..

    If there is a threat to coral.... it is not atmospheric CO2 of 400 - 600ppm ..or a gradual rise in temperature to more comfortable climate. There are many other things that are harmful to coral.

    "and no surprise to people with common sense.

    You'll find none of that on the alarmists side, it's like a religion to them, they're fanatics, and like "god-botherers the world over they're oblivious to the lack of evidence for their argument and the masses of evidence which disproves it.

  11. Mike Adams, self styled 'journalist', should stick to attacking Big Pharma to promote and profit from money wasting, fraudulent supplementary vitamins that no one actually needs.

    He bases his article on misinformation posted on Fossil Fuel funded blogsites.

    If his article was peer reviewed for publication in a scientific journal rather than his own agenda driven blogsite it would be popped into the shredder.
