Anti-vaxers kill child in Texas
The death toll from unvaccinated measles cases already exceeds that from the MMR vaccine (which is almost non-existant) Anti-Vaxxers need to get the facts before spreading nonsense! -

Backlash as Foreigners Give Monks a High-Speed Lift in Pattaya
Was there any criticism of the foreigners? If so can you show it to me. Foreigners are so sensitive these days, more than half the comments on the fb page were positive, a few questioned whether or not the monks were behaving appropriately. None were criticizing the foreigners. There was no moaning. -

Backlash as Foreigners Give Monks a High-Speed Lift in Pattaya
So we all fell for the Media trap. They grab a story they know will get clicks or views and spin it to get the most attention. Why doesn't it say the Foreigners made "Merit" today and gave two Monks a ride to their destination. Oh, boring no views. -

Anti-vaxers kill child in Texas
And you think you have an IQ of 127-143 !!!... such hilarious statements made by fools who simply have no idea of the world around them.... ignorance is bliss.. But the most amusing part is that you appear to be suggesting that national average IQ is related to life expectancy.... The correlation coefficient between total life expectancy and average national IQ is 0.234, with a p-value of 0.849. A correlation of 0.234 suggests a weak positive correlation, meaning that higher IQ may be slightly associated with higher life expectancy, but the relationship is not strong. The p-value (0.849) is very high, indicating that this correlation is not statistically significant, meaning there is no strong evidence that national IQ and life expectancy are directly related. In short: Data does not show a strong direct relationship between national IQ and life expectancy. Why the Correlation is Likely False (Other Influencing Factors): Healthcare Quality & Access: Countries with universal healthcare systems (like the UK) tend to have higher life expectancy, regardless of IQ. Economic Development & Wealth: GDP per capita and income inequality have a stronger influence on life expectancy than IQ. Public Health & Sanitation: Clean water, sanitation, and disease control measures significantly impact life expectancy. Nutrition & Living Conditions: Malnutrition and living standards directly affect longevity, but are not linked to IQ. Crime & Violence Rates: Countries with high crime or war see reduced life expectancy, regardless of IQ. Education & Health Awareness: General health literacy and education impact longevity more than raw intelligence scores. Lifestyle Factors (Smoking, Diet, Exercise): Cultural habits around smoking, alcohol, and diet have a major impact. Environmental Pollution & Climate: Air pollution, exposure to toxins, and climate factors affect national life expectancy. Genetic & Biological Factors: Some populations may have genetic predispositions affecting longevity, unrelated to IQ. Conclusion: While higher IQ might contribute to better decision-making regarding health and education, it is not a major driver of life expectancy. More significant factors like healthcare, wealth, lifestyle, and public infrastructure play a much bigger role. Finally... this is why I would usually ignore posters such as yourself - because you think you are clever, you amusingly claim this higher IQ yet remain persistent in proving your mediocrity - In short you are a waste of time and I've wasted 10 minutes putting together a response to an idiot who's only going to drag me down to his level... -

Backlash as Foreigners Give Monks a High-Speed Lift in Pattaya
Years ago I travelled from Bangkok to Heathrow sitting next to a monk (Eva Air I think). He was a member of the community at a Wat in the West Midlands. He was I would say a fairly "Hi So" young man, a very pleasant travelling companion. I am a Catholic so we had a very interesting conversation, not in the slightest bit antagonistic. We parted friends at Heathrow.
