Popular Post lildragon Posted February 12, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2015 A note to myself; Never take Nida polls seriously again. And maybe the other polls taken in Bangkok by 1000 people saying how much they love the Junta too eh Costa my old pal? on topic now We were all teenagers once, we were all randy little buggers. Should be no different here in Thailand. Valentines day or any other day of the year. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lobo4819 Posted February 12, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2015 "1,250 teenagers under 25 years old" ............. so one of the teenagers could have been 24? Or all of them? Or since it is just "under 25 years old," maybe they included some boys under 10, who may still hate girls, or vice versa. In any event, truly incredible. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatty123 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Teenagers can be 24 in Thailand? The clue is in the word 'teen'. That info was for the benefit of the editor of the article btw.. Nineteen being the last post for being a 'teenager' (one hundred and nineteen doesn't count). So, if I'm in Thailand and in my forties, am I actually in my twenties? Edited February 12, 2015 by Fatty123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you babbling about? most |mōst|det.& pronoun • the majority of; nearly all of: And a majority would start at anything above 50%. Percentages. Get it?

canuckamuck Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) There is another thread on here today with the same basic premise and it stated 83% planned to have sex on Valentine's day. Of course I don't know if the other poll was including 24 year old teenagers, I think they said students. It is probably the old teenagers whom are married and have three kids already, that are not having sex on Valentine's day.
