I don't need to always post links as I, unlike you it seems, have actual experience in things you seem to not.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 08:05:14 +0000This is my opinion as an Asian American who came to the US in the 1970's. Who cares? 2nd, 3rd or 4th generation end up doing what they want to do and most really do not care about what the future holds. Also, I have heard this and based upon my own experiences in my 20's to 40's is that many Asian American women have little to no interest in dating and marrying an Asian man unless he is very wealthy or high profile,. I knew Asian American women who have married Caucasian men, Black men, Latino men and even Indian origin American men.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 08:05:12 +0000FALSE. This is completely false. I just wonder. Are you sure that you will be able to find your way back to Texas, once you leave Thailand? I am talking about cognitive deficits here.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 08:04:46 +0000The person taking the video is a Welsh choirboy, which means there is a chance he is a knife wielding maniac. The UK is now a culturally enriched society so it is extremely high risk to intervene.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 08:04:44 +0000Someone educate me here... Doesn't London have air conditioned shopping malls? That's where we'd go if it was hot outside. Of course, that was before teen takeovers and so many US shopping malls biting the dust. That's one nice amenity of Bangkok. You can always find free A/C, with a great view of the cuties passing by.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 08:03:58 +0000That is entirely understandable but cannot in any civilized mind become the basis for a legal/justice system. (Although the reptile in me is a keen supporter of 'making the punishment fit the crime' - and doing unto perps what they did to their victims. You'll mostly be glad I don't work in the legal system ;D ) I do like the system of victims' impact statements before sentencing. And they should flow into sentencing as well. But victims should not be sentencing. Better for them in the long term anyway I suspect.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 08:03:47 +0000Why would you bother wondering why? Texas isn't for wienies. I'm not a redneck, and hunting with a few has never been a problem. Your prejudice against them isn't going anywhere, as your experience comes from fear and not actual personal experience with them. I didn't say Texas has few rednecks. They aren't the majority, although some have misconceptions about what Texas is about, like you. People living in Texas come from all over, especially the last few decades, because the houses are cheaper than in California and the east coast, and it's better weather.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 08:03:16 +0000When elephants were still allowed in Bangkok, I used to collect their poop for my garden. Lovely stuff!Sat, 27 Jun 2026 08:01:38 +0000You are a true card. H Pylori? I am not worried about 2nd Gen Asian American youth being led astray by H. Pylori microbes. I do NOT care about your GUT, as I already stated clearly...!!!!!!!!!!!! If you have something to say, then back it up with supporting evidence, and a link. Can you or can you NOT do this? And, please leave your guts and microbes out of this discussion.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 08:01:20 +0000You're late to the party, it's over, done and dustedSat, 27 Jun 2026 08:00:48 +0000Yes, children in private schools do abuse drugs. While private schools are often assumed to be safer environments, research indicates that students at elite or affluent private schools are at equal or even higher risk of substance abuse. The most commonly abused substances among private school students typically include alcohol, marijuana, and prescription stimulants. Key Contributing Factors Disposable Income: Affluent youths often have higher access to disposable income, allowing them to purchase alcohol, premium vapes, or recreational drugs. High-Pressure Environments: Many private schools foster intense academic cultures with extreme pressure to excel at top universities, which can lead to higher rates of substance use as a coping mechanism. Perception and Access: Because students in wealthy or isolated communities often have easy access to substances, the perceived prevalence of drug use among peers can be higher. Typical Substances While traditional smoking is sometimes less prevalent among private school teens, they frequently engage in: Binge Drinking Vaping (nicotine and THC) Prescription Stimulant Abuse (e.g., Adderall, Ritalin used as study aids) One of many sources.........................https://www.independent.co.uk/news/education/education-news/private-school-pupils-drug-alcohol-addictions-more-likely-new-research-money-fake-id-a7766951.htmlSat, 27 Jun 2026 07:59:54 +0000You can generalise and it's generally right, most farang you see causing trouble lately are tattooed or no shirt or bothSat, 27 Jun 2026 07:58:41 +0000Case of face. Does anyone know the term for ungrateful written into the law--I can't find it. This law was written in a period when rich men had many wives and gigs, all of whom bore him children. Thailand is matriarchical and such a law would make sense to protect the mothers. However, in this case, one would think Queen B*tch would be more interested in disowning elder brother than worrying about her family reputation.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 07:58:33 +0000But bizarre speculation by Asean Now posters does not do anything to assist the process of getting to the truth.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 07:58:20 +0000Hope this mongrel grub really suffers in jail. But i would imagine ,he will not live to long in jail.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 07:57:56 +0000How about studying health, nutrition and exercise for the last 50 years, along with reading everything i can on the subject, training people for over 16 years, and having only one real health problem, H Pylori, that I got living here? Health comes from within, as does everything else. We're moving back to Texas because it's a much better place to raise my daughter, where I'll be enjoying my hobbies, where there isn't any problems staying there as a citizen, no fears of Thailand and Cambodia starting over again, and a much better chance for my daughter to excel in life instead of being looked at as a secondary slave. You have no children, so have no idea what having one is like, nor the responsibilities incurred. You don't research what being a student means, as again, you have no reason to as you have no children. I have had 5 children attend and graduate schools in the US, and all are doing well. You live as a single man, mostly inside with AC, likely from fear of leaving your apartment, in a place where the air quality is as crappy as almost anywhere else on earth, with women who look at men as cash, and are always talking about leaving yourself, to China, Taiwan or elsewhere, so you aren't happy here. If you like China so much, move there as it's easy for a single man to go anywhere they want. Again, you haven't been to the US in decades, so you haven't a clue how it is there now.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 07:57:53 +0000Funny 😄 In the normal world , a passport is only to go to other countries. ID carts are for identification and yes VOTING.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 07:57:39 +0000Agreed. That's the nuance many people miss. Thais generally don't find shirtlessness inherently offensive. Wander through countless backstreets and sub-sois and you'll see older local men in sarongs, often shirtless It's an entirely normal sight. The issue isn't whether someone has a shirt on, it's where they don't. Most people, Thai or foreign, instinctively know the difference between a residential lane, a beach or poolside, and walking into a shopping area, restaurant or 7-Eleven. The problem is that some foreigners simply ignore those social cues. It's no different to taking your shoes off before entering a small shop when there's a pile of footwear outside the door. Nobody needs a law explaining it. You see what's appropriate, you show a bit of respect, and you get on with your day. The irritation isn't caused by bare chests. It's caused by the combination of carelessness, arrogance and a refusal to read the room. That's what winds some people up, not the absence of a T-shirt itself.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 07:57:23 +0000He could always use another sim with dataSat, 27 Jun 2026 07:56:59 +0000IMHO as an 80-year old American former military in VN for a couple of years and worked for the government another 36 years, i feel that since VN days, the decline of the US on all sides began and has picked up speed as more and more people sought ways to enrich themselves without actually earning it. The current administration is packed with nothing but folks of this nature IMHO. I watch the Congressional hearings questioning senior administrative folks who have no real idea of what their agency is supposed to be doing nor how to continue firing people without just cause - or as I keep hearing, folks are asked who won the 2020 election and if one says Biden then "you need to look for another job". Folks are advisors to senior folks like the Secretary of WAR he is called today, his closest advisor, a former lawyer, named as a naval officer (though without serving) as all those officers are supposedly cleared already but being named not so and sits on a desk right at the SecWar's shoulder, goes to all the meetings and such a clearance requires no contacts with foreign folks, and takes 6-12 months to finish but which has never begun in this instant, is a former lawyer against the military in a well known case, has foreign clients and yet sits in the SCIF for classified briefings. The congressional hearing on this was covered in a YOUTUBE video today and the SecWAR didn't have any ideas about the guy at all except saying he was a "good guy"! Nothing but scary things like this on a daily basis. Just look at the Epstein Files coverup - more than just this administration too and wonder if we will ever see the end of those as more and more rich and powerful push Trump to even more to block it. Anyway if one wonders just how much it is spreading, check out the Congressional hearings/findings. Even so, the president continues ignoring the US Constitution and the courts keep letting him slide along but if he voters are awake in November and Trump can't stop the elections in all the states, his days will be numbered and many of those within his administration too will be impeached IMHO.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 07:56:32 +0000FALSE FALSE FALSE Please show any evidence for this, whatsoever, from a natural science or social science article which supports your BLIND-FAITH Belief.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 07:55:53 +0000I knew what sort it would be before I watched the video. The colour of his hand comfirmed my suspicion.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 07:55:14 +0000No, she wasn't - if you're referring to the age for sexual consent. From the update posted by Georgealbert Daily News reported that the Pattaya Provincial Court issued an arrest warrant, before the body was found, charging Mr Carman with abducting a minor under the age of 18 from the custody of her parents or guardian for indecent purposes. It sure sounds like she was underage.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 07:53:38 +0000That luxe condo deal in Bangkok fell through. Too bad govt gets it...Sat, 27 Jun 2026 07:52:34 +0000This last one was probably the most ridiculous GOP investigation. The first key witness was a China and Iran agent, and the last one (Smirnov) a Russia agent! 😂Sat, 27 Jun 2026 07:52:23 +0000
