My attitude now is if I am not hurting anybody, it's not a problem. I'm past playing around now, too old. However, when I think of what fidelity brought me to in 28 years of marriage, I say the hell with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why segregate 'Westerners' on this? Are they a special breed on this planet? Even a soi dog will respond to the way one treat it and reciprocate similarly! ain't no rocket science, this... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we get older, our bodies and minds simply are not what they used to be. I look in the mirror sometimes, and I barely recognize the guy I am staring at! The whole aging process is a somewhat undignified experience. So, unless we are making some inner effort, to improve ourselves and evolve into better versions of ourselves, in a conscious manner, in whatever way we can, the opposite tends to occur. Don't let it happen. It can be ugly. I remember many years ago going to a college re-union, think it was about 30 years after the fact. I could only recognize one person out of about 100, and that was because he had pronounced features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holy cow cm Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 There is the occasional arrogant putz that absolutely needs to be slapped. This guy obviously thought he was the cats meow because he is gods gift to Thailand and thinks he is the only one whop can speak Thai. I would not have had restraint and probably would have tore him a new sphincter in Thai. And that would not have been a pretty sight. Good you held your ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been amused by a system where one can bonk themselves stupid, steal from their neighbor, get as drunk as a lord, beat their wife, then sit in a box with a priest and all is forgiven. Not sure the relevance of this. I said if you meet people at a church or other spiritual places, the people are generally not going to rip you off. I didn't mean Ctholics.

Sadly they do. I've got about 7 pages of 'haters' blocked. The trick is to recognise their new incarnations quickly after they're banned.
