Alex Jones' Infowars to be auctioned off in pieces to pay Sandy Hook families
Alex Jones has not had his rights to free speech removed or in anyway diminished. He’s still free to say whatever he wishes. He now knows that if he lies he may face the consequences of the harm his lies cause to others. There is no immunity from the consequences of one’s own choices and actions, including the choice to lie and the action of lying. -

Does any Trumper think that Trump will exceed 47% in the polling averages or the election? -

Guys, do you cheat on your Thai wife/girlfriend?
Sounds good. I would go with a local generic too. Sounds like a good cost savings. But I would prefer the newer Descovy drug over Truvada. Truvada is known to be much harder on the kidneys. Does the Thai Red Cross in Bangkok also offer a cheap locally made version of Descovy? Also, has your Creatinine level increased much since you started using Truvada 5 years ago? Also, there is an injectible PrEP drug now which is supposed to be more effective than both of those two tablet forms. I don't think the Thai Red Cross offers it, but maybe they do, I think the Pulse Clinics in Bangkok might have it. It is called Apretude (cabotegravir is the actual drug name). I don't know what it costs, but it is two initial shots spread out one month apart and then just one shot every 2 months after that. Apparently much less risk of any kidney damage. -

Senior Police Official Praises Two Officers for Saving Woman in Suicide Attempt
Of course this is a good example of a part of the police work, and a good end result. However, to go as far and mention the this act by 2 police officers as as something that exemplifies the dedication of the RTP protecting and serving the public is a huge stretch. This was the job of two police officers. Besides that we all know how corrupt and unwilling the general force is to act of things. -

Israel and Hezbollah Exchange Blows in Pre-emptive Strikes and Retaliatory Attacks
A question: What is the benefit to the Shia people of Lebanon in attacking Israel? Why are they obligated to die for the cause while people in Egypt and Jordan can go about their lives? -

Leaving the bar stool ...
They may have been from Butterworth air base, which was Australian air force flying Mirages. No Aussies now, but more than enough ME people to make me want to stay away. All the beaches ruined by huge hotels. Shame when I remembered them from before it was a tourist island. -

What did your parents die of?
Both my parents died in their sleep. Not yelling, screaming, crying and praying like the other people on the plane. -

Leaving the bar stool ...
Best place I ever found for breakfast was one of the restaurants on the Chiang Mai end of Pai on the road out of town. So beautiful that people just got married had their photos taken there. Not as beautiful as the view from the restaurant near the village I used to eat at. Sunset over the mountains and the ancient paddy fields made it spectacular. Of course no one else on here would know of it so not saying. -

Practicing Dharma in an environment awash with Cannabis?
Well, I am not so sure that is true. Seems like often folks with "years of dedicated practice" are devoted/addicted to the path and not awakening. It don't seem fair, but I suspect the man or woman that took some mushrooms or other hallucinogen and by golly had an awakening experience may learn just as much as the man or woman with "years of dedicated practice". Not always true, I am sure, but I don't discount it. I am not sure marijuana is a powerful enough hallucinogen to bring about surrender, but I don't know. In fact, I don't know anything.
