They would...

But only if they knew what I was really thinking.

We aren’t born alone silly 😊 There is ALWAYS someone else there. Dying is something different. Dependent on the circumstances, you might want/not want someone else there. 
If you don’t have family, you should have nurtured friendships.

Not true as we remember neither i don't think either is intended to be a team event under normal circumstances

[GammaGlobulin]

Speaking of the SADDEST event, concerning Japan...

 

For me, it must be the death of Jeff Beck.

 

I had always entertained a very fond love for Jeff.

 

And now...

 

He is no longer with us.

 

Jeff played AMAZINGLY in Japan in 1999....

 

Those were the days before the Y2K, and so much more BS.

 

I LOVE Jeff.

 

Jeff is the ONLY one for me.

Jeff is the ONLY one I will ever regret losing, including, even,  Dolly Parton, with her giant boobs.

 

So...

 

What made Jeff so special?

 

Just listen....unless you are asleep.....

 

 

 

Never again will there ever be anyone as great as JEFF BECK.

 

F

Clapton!

 

Even Hendrix must bow down to JEFF BECK....

 

There is NO doubt about it....

 

So solly.

 

I am a ChinaMan....

 

And, and Old China Ham, as well....

 

And I know JEFF BECK is the best that there has ever been....

 

No debate is even warranted....

 

F if he is not!

Maybe worry about your own IQ... and learn to spell

89 is not too bad, Palestinian IQ is 77 and some Africans groups 60.

89 is not too bad.

 

99 would be better.

 

109 would be even better.

 

139 would be OK.

 

There is, afterall, a definite linkage between higher IQ and the good things in life.

 

Of course, not everybody can be tall.

 

Not all peas/beans can be tall.

 

Just ask Mendel.

 

Mendel might have eaten the beans/peas he grew.

Yet, he chose to study them, instead.

Listening to Jeff Beck make that jangling noise for 1 hour and 27 minutes will surely lower your IQ, no?

Build it and they will come.

 

Also, in the not distant future, sea level will rise in BKK to the extent that more office buildings will be built in CM.

 

In addition, there are plenty of people in Thailand with IQs over 120.  And plenty with IQs over 130.

 

There must be between 300,000 and 600,000 of them.

 

The question then is education.

 

Probably best to first attend Chula, and then head to the USA for remedial work, plus an MA/MS degree program in anything academically serious.

 

There are scholarships offered by the local government for PhD programs abroad, as well.

 

But, chain store managers?

Forget about it.

Dumb as posts.

 

 

 

 

[Fat is a type of crazy]

Devo had some thoughts that it may be better to have a low IQ to get by 

 

I'm envious of your I.Q. of 37
 

You, you're the one
It's written all over your face
You, you're the one
I'd like to take your place

 

I'm envious of your I.Q. of 37
Your lack of brains just drives me crazy
It's the only way to get by and be lazy
 

You, you're the one
It's written all over your face

You, you're so dumb
I'd like to take your place
 

I'm envious of your I.Q. of 37
From where I come it's the dumber the better
No one likes a real go getter

Yes.

 

But.

 

You cannot say IGNORANCE!

 

Can you?

 

I mean, with an average IQ of 89. would it even be possible for Thai people to call any other people IGNORANT?

 

 

Expand  

The ability to call people ignorant demonstrates ignorance. Rather than learning or wisdom.  Ignorance is specific, rather than general; I am ignorant of cock-fighting; others are ignorant of common-law jurisprudence.  They can employ a lawyer to make up for that.  I doubt that there are trustworthy professionals who can help me should I gamble in cock-fighting, nor should I inadvertently find myself in a boxing match.

IQ is one of those things that other people do. I've never been tested and happily have no idea of what it would be. Makes no difference to my life whatever it is, and likewise with the Thais, happy with life as it is and not looking for some farang to tell them that they are unhappy, ignorant and need to "do better". I think if I were a Thai and some farang turned up and told me I was ignorant, I'd give him a good kicking in the ignorants.

The last place on the planet I'd head to for any reason whatsoever would be the USA. It's the country that produced Hillary Clinton and Trump- need I say more?

 

I think you must be bored and desperate to post something controversial to post this one. You CAN do better.

For rock, I'd put Prince over Beck.

 

If fret tapping is one's thing, I'd listen to Stanley Jordan playing Georgia on My Mind.

 

For classical, and maybe best guitarist of any type ever, Julian Bream

 

For something a little different, Michael Hedges.

I will die with my Thai GF at my side. If I am in a hospital, she will be sleeping on the floor next to my bed.

This I know, because it has been demonstrated previously.

How can we increase the average IQ in Thailand, 89, up to 107, like HK?

 

This is SUPER IMPROTANT.

 

IQ of 89 is not suitable for most things in today's world, like office work, or being a manager of a store.

 

This is why we have so much trouble shopping in Thailand...I guess.

 

The sales clerks, and especially the managers of the shops at malls, just don't have the brain power to sell anything.

 

What do you think?

 

How do we improve the IQ in Thailand, the average or mean IQ, or the median IQ, I forget which....UP TO the level of HK?

 

Or, should we just keep the average IQ in Thailand at 89?

 

Which is better for you and me?

 

Two questions in one...

 

Obviously.

 

Best,

Have you ever even been to an ocean?  I worked on a boat for 25 years and the sea level isn't rising.  Do you think wealthy people would be buying oceanfront properties if they were about to get washed away?
