British Man's Urgent Plea to Save Dying Father in Thailand
I find it funny that people seem to believe that old people should live forever. 77 is pretty much a full live-span. When you get to be that age, something will kill you. And yet people fight it to extend their poor quality of life longer than it should be extended. My guess is that if the elderly gentleman manages to return to the UK, the NHS bureaucracy will kill him. He'll probably die waiting for an appointment or an ambulance. People with diabetes die of what start off as "minor" infections of their extremities even in the West. As much as Westerners love to slam Thai health services, they can and do care for conditions like these. But eventually all the care in the world isn't going to stop the inevitable. But? The family will bankrupt themselves to return dad back to the UK where he'll die anyway leaving the family burdened with debt. Really - I have a question for those folks who are now in their 70s or older and who live here in Thailand: If you live in a country where you depend on socialized medicine and chose to retire in a location, such as Thailand, where you have to pay for your own healthcare and emergencies, why haven't you factored in contingencies for the eventuality of developing a life-threatening disease that can kill you? Why don't you people plan for that - the older you get, the more likely it's gonna happen. For myself and a number of other like-minded expats (BritManToo for example, we are a minority), we have already excepted that we will eventually die in Thailand. Your body is going to break down, medical care will eventually just not cure you, and then you will eventually die. It's the way of life, life ends in death. I've got a living will and the head-doctor at our Amphur hospital is a personal friend of the family and knows the wishes of both myself and my wife. It is natural for you to die in your 70s and 80s. Sure, some people live into their 90s and beyond. But your quality of life begins to really suck - why fight it? When the time comes, when my body breaks down and become irreparable, I want to be kept as comfortable as possible and be allowed to check out of this body on my own terms. I'm at peace with that. What I don't have is any desire to be med-evacuated back to my home country in a journey paid for by GoFundMe donations and the life-savings of my children and family. Why? My life and my family is here in Thailand. Also, for those who want to be sent back to their home countries where they receive state socialized medicine - you could have purchase med-evacuation insurance! It does exist. If people wish to extend their lives as long as possible and desire to be "shipped back home to receive the best socialized medicine," then why didn't you prepare for that eventuality - because it WILL eventually happen. Not preparing is irresponsible. How many AN members are going to do the exact same thing when their bodies final break down and death starts to tap you on the shoulder and remind you that this stay in Thailand and on this Earth is only temporary. How many of you people even bother to think about this - cause is will happen. Guaranteed. 100%. "Hello my friend. Did you plan? Are you ready? I am coming for you - maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe next week, but I will gather you up and take you away because that body you inhabit? It doesn't last forever no matter how much money you have, or how much status, or how much power. It's just a body, and when it finally breaks down for the last time - well, I'll be seeing ya!" -

Tony Blair Cautions Starmer Against Retaliation Over Trump Tariffs
He's not dumb. He's evil. Starmer is the perfect "man" for a bit of grovelling. It's in his nature. -

Drunken foreign trouble making thug gets bottle smashed over his head.
Great to see they finally posted another OP for the foreigner bashers to grovel and complain over. It was getting boring reading all the Thai bashing in other OPs. Since no one really knows what started it all or why the video clip begins with the foreigner hitting the Thai first. It is safe to say that there was something more that happened before that is not being shown. Therefore, the incident could have begin outside of the video shown and the only thing shared was the portion that makes the foreigner look bad. I am the devils advocate for you all. But why i need to be is unclear since it has been proven in other incidences about portions of videos being left out to make the news a good attack or to make the Thai justified for actions such as this. Either way, being so near the police? Why are there not any arrests? Where are the police? -

Texas Children Suffer Vitamin A Poisoning Amid Measles Outbreak Following RFK Jr's Claims
You are absolutely wrong there Sir Bud. No virus (if there even is such a entity**) has ever been isolated. Dr Enders, in 1954, was the first to claim he had isolate a virus (so he said), but if you read the methodology section of his paper, he did no such thing. Why not take a look for yourself? ** - IMO, a virus is simply cell debris. Dead. Inert. There to aid cell the rejuvenation process
