Although I accept and agree that not all subjects and topics in General need to be Thailand related, due to some of the pathetic statements this particular post was going to generate, perhaps in my personal view, any respose should have been on Mod preview, before general release.

Or was the thread a test case? If so, I would half suggest you need no Mori poll on the outcome.

If there was anyone waiting for more evidence that the Catholic Church is inherently evil...

Existing as an essential constituent or characteristic; intrinsic.

Inherent

Quote from the Online Dictionary, do you really believe the definition?

imo, the pope lost all moral authority when he decided to protect those within his circle for those unforgiveable acts on the most vulnerable :bah:

If he was involved in protecting those that were guilty along with those that almost certainly were, I will not try and put a defense, as there is none.

So yes I agree with you.

And the link to Thailand is....

(Come on, be creative!)

Fail to see beside catholics bashing ...

Two days before Christmas, what a nice touch !

And there are a great many Christians that do not accept the authority of Rome and who practice their faith in a manner more in keeping of gospel and scriptures as they interpret it. I believe that they will try and have a Christmas focused on its intrinsic meaning rather than enter into palaces of opulence and partake in festivals. For these people, the edicts of a man in Rome, matter not. Many billions of people of different faiths and beliefs will go about their normal day on December 25 without any thought given to the Pope and his views of condoms. No need to worry, ok. This will pass, much as the manner in which people have long forgotten that former Popes had concubines, wives, illegitimate children and purchased their positions. Come to think of it, it was bit like Thailand's BiB.

:D

I don't know that people have forgotten, but yes, the papacy was a political prize fought for among the grand families of Europe for many years. Alexander VI, for example, had mistresses and children and was perfectly open about it. He saw himself as a Prince of the Church and European Head of State. The religious leadership of the church, as far as he was concerned, was for those cardinals who preferred that sort of thing. Actually he was an affable and reasonably fair-minded chap, and was most upset when Savonarola kept on rocking the boat in Florence and Alexander had to issue an edict against him. Savonarola's insistence on pushing religious values so vigorously was not at all gentlemanly behaviour in Alexander's view.

Catholics are third on the KKK's enemy list after Blacks and Jews. Sort of like this forum where the Catholic Church comes in third behind Jews and America.

That said, why should the Catholic Church - or any other group based on what they believe to be the word of their diety - "change with the times"? Unless that diety issues new instructions, they have no choice but to follow the latest ones. I'm not saying they are right or wrong, just that if God didn't tell them differently, what gives them the right to change the rules with each generation?

Nice post, Loz. But you've omitted to mention the fact that there are people on this forum who get their kicks out of abusing the Catholic Church.

And here I thought it was the priests that got a kick out of abusing little boys...oh-my...

So is TV going to keep us updated on all news coming out of Rome? or is this just a one off?

Suppose if there are any members who are prostitutes working in Thailand this useful information.

And Happy Christmas

I am taking a Catholic bar girl to midnight mass on Christmas. I have always used a condom with her in the past. I don't think she reads Thai Visa. She only works in the bar two weeks a year. She works in the bar before Christmas to buy presents for the orphans the Aids shelter for children.

I am a lapsed Christian. I cannot believe the message any longer. I believe that Christianity is dying as more people become better educated particularly when they learn more and more about the Cosmos. None of it makes sense to me. Stories and parables may have sufficed for people two thousand years ago, but today? If I am wrong and I pitch up at the Pearly Gates and am refused entry I shall ask why, if this God wanted me to believe, did he give me such a brain of limited capability and lacking in imagination? Presumably the Amazon Indians and the wandering tribes of Mongolia won't get in either.

I assume that Hell, if there is such a place, is similar to Soi Cowboy on a Saturday night.

      Save The Children Urges Action on Child Road Deaths in Thailand

      About 12 years ago, a young 18 year-old in my family-in-law died in a car accident because his friend was driving recklessly and none of them were wearing seatbelts. It was a terrible ordeal for everyone, especially his parents, and I thought they would never recover from it (especially his mum). All these years later, they are now doing "okay" and have moved on, to the extent possible. However: Do they now wear seatbelts when they travel by car? No. Do they raise awareness in the community so that what happened to them doesn't happen to someone else? No. Do they wear helmets on their bikes? No. To me, the fundamental factor seems to be Buddhism and the inherent belief that if your time has come, then that is the way it is and it is not in your hands.

      No wonder people like to shop at Lazada.

      Lazada is my primary, but my secondary for really high quality things is Aliexpress. It's more expensive as well, shipping can be really high, and really fast too. The quality of things are really just another level compared to Lazada. I buy really amazing and highest quality products from Aliexpress/China, specially the electronics, motors, controllers, power buttons, boards, tools, etc. all Impossible to find in Lazada. just junk in Lazada. Also be aware of supplements from Lazada, many fakes from USA, like those joint supplements from USA, lots are fake, and the danger is that you are putting something in your mouth you have no idea what it is... you can tell, many have very far in the future expire date, The expire date is in the bottle, which are mostly fake, expire date is usually on the label for the real goods, label cost becomes more expensive, It's cheaper to batch print clone labels. Then the quality of the label you can tell it's from a laser printer, not the high quality paint of the original label. They usually miss a serial number as well. just observe that in Lazada.

      And so the exodus of quality expats begins. This time it's personal

      I agree. The change in the last 15 years is already astonishing. By 2040 the city will no longer be attractive to retirees. The same applies to Phuket. There will be no "idyllic bubbles" left. Property developers will.make sure of that.

      Keir Starmer’s EU Reset: A Strategy Built on Falsehoods

      "Ruin the country" covers just about anything. You really think the country's ruined? If so, don't you think the Cameron/Johnson/Sunak administrations might have had something to do with it? After all, Rome didn't fall in a day. Import criminals? What happened to the Tory promise to take back control of our borders after Brexit? They couldn't even force through the Rwandan scheme to EXport criminals, as you call them. Give away territory? Oh, you mean Diego Garcia? We had no claim on it. The local inhabitants were displaced and banned from returning because of the US base there. Even reporters couldn't get in until the BBC were allowed a brief visit. London lost preeminence as a financial centre. So what, you say? A small price to pay for securing our borders, right? 555. What a load of you know what. And I don't copy and paste from X. I'm not even on it. Never have been. Never will be. I'm not a fan of Musk nor AI. So any more baseless allegations? Or even claims?

      Re entry permit

      Nothing if you choose to get it at the airport. Go to the re-entry permit desk (after security but before immigration at Suvaranabhumi). Pay 200 baht, write down your address and tell them the date you want to come back. They fill out the form, they take your pictures, and if it is not crowded (never has been when I've done it) then ten minutes later you have your re-entry permit and then you proceed to the immigration line as usual. You can save the 200 baht if you print out the form (TM8) and fill it out before you go, along with getting photos done somewhere and taking them with you. But for me it is 200 baht very well spent. Whether you pay the 200 baht or not the fee is 1,000 for single entry, 3,800 baht for multi entry. You can also do this at your local immigration office but it is so easy and quick to do it at the airport I can't imagine why you'd bother.

      No wonder people like to shop at Lazada.

      Lazada is the only one with mostly English options. But I often use it on Google Chrome to get a full translation. Only the comments now have translation which is really good. Then the app could see a lot of improvements. I just wish Lazada would get rid of all the fakes and low quality things. I know... I've already ranted about this so much, but... Try to search for brands, like "makita" the first 10 pages are all fake. same for shoes, clothe, computer, phones, etc. If you don't have knowledge and know to spot fake vs real, It is incredibly easy to buy a fake, tell you haven't gotten a fake in Lazada once? I've got, and I have always been super geeky. except with shoes... I got a fake nike, returned was easy, Lazada accepted my return as counterfeit. Shop continues to sell.

      Sunday roast dinners

      Yeah, agree. The pubs are generally fine but this was another level up in quality, especially of the meat and gravy. But yes, you do have to pay for it. Even though 750 was not cheap I think it was worth the premium. Unlikely I'll be back any time soon as it is across town from where I live, but if I was in that area I would definitely drop in. FWIW we also ate beef tartare, pan fried scallops, six NZ oysters, a pizza, pan fried salmon, a wild prawn risotto and a couple of desserts (pavlova and sticky date pudding). All superb. And the service was good too - they gave us one of our desserts for free when they heard it was my daughter's birthday.

      Well, that's the thing about them Walking St. pizzas. You got to bring your own cheese. Then what you do is request NO CRUST as you hand over your cheese for them to mix in a bowl with the other ingredients. Presto! Yer healthy Walking St. pizza.

      Is that a fact! Gosh, I was sure they were doing a pressure test. Maybe the wife mistranslated when the station worker explained. Oh, well. In that case, absolutely no blame can go on the inspectors if they just have to spray some soapy water on the couplings. Looks good!

      Perhaps you missed @fredwiggy clownish pronouncements of me not knowing anything about nutrition, with him being the preeminent reference for all things nutritional. He neglected to ask and instead assumed he knew best. Just like his foolish claims that NY pizza, shrimp scampi and cheese burgers are healthy foodstuffs. Equally ridiculous, was your agreeing with him. 😊 I trained for both.

      Is Thailand Value for money

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_number_of_millionaires Most of the wealth of these millionaires is tied to their home, illiquid asset, so the majority of these millionaires need to stay where they are, and pay "millionaires" prices for everything. For example if 5% of these millionaires try to sell their house and move somewhere else, they may find that they are not millionaires anymore, as the house prices will plummet, as there are not enough millionaires to buy them.
