Dems just always seem "dazed and confused".... they better get their Shit together fast, or they will allow this country to descend "into Hell in a handbasket"...... Hakeem doesnt inspire any confidence for me.... Schumer is a Relic, stuck in a bygone era..... Modern, young, progressive voices are mocked, criticized and dismissed.....while our Democracy continues to evaporate. When 30% of the population can overcome and beat 70%, we have a PROBLEM and are really Fucked !

I do not necessarily support it either. But facts are facts. Britain had decades and decades to introduce democracy in Hong Kong. It decided not to do so. Then at the last possible moment several years after formal international Agreements between Britain and China had been signed and registered, Britain through its last Governor made a unilateral decision to change a key part of those Agreements.Those in charge at Westminster were perfectly aware of what China would do - and so will not have been in the slightest surprised when China then did what it said it would do. I feel for the people of Hong Kong, many of whom remain as good friends. I and they have no doubt whatever that had Patten not unliaterally changed key elements of the two Agreements, Hong Kong would today have greater democracy in terms of electing the Chief Executive and the members of the Legislative Council - granted a slower form of democracy but precisely as outlined in the exact wording in the Agreements which Patten tore up. But there is one more issue that has not been aired in the discussion so far. Hone Kong has about 7 million people. The assumption of many who know little about Hong Kong, is the assumptin that they know that democracy should have been introduced and would be welcomed by all. But they conveniently forget that there are millions in Hong Kong who are in fact pro-Beijing. They did not like the way the British ran Hong Kong. The Board of one company of which I was CEO in the 1980s had several pro-Beijing members, notwithstanding the chaos of the Cultural Revolution which had recently ended. Nothing in Hong Kong is as simple as saying Hong Kong people want democracy. Many don't!

This isn't a gay issue but I must recommend a visit to the charming village of Maekampong, an hour or so drive from Chiang Mai. My partner arranged this trip for me without explaining anything about it; he knew I'd like it and wanted to surprise me. He did. In short, it is situated in a beautiful, unspoiled and mountainous country and is distinguished by its wooden houses, tiny temple, numerous restaurants and a commitment to eco-tourism. I didn't see many other falang visitors but it is evidently popular with Thais.

If Teixeira's list is a true summary of what's wrong, it still goes back to how Ezra Klein's piece appears to me, that hindsight is 20/20. It's a little bit late now to realize all of that. Or is it? Corporate media loves to repeat how Democrat approval is in the toilet. Yet I look at this Blue wave that's predicted for the midterms. Those two things are so incongruent, it has to be a warning not to count on success too far into the future, without earning voter approval with a better playbook. We have some clever Dems that can do it, like Buttigieg. My sense is we are living in a similar time to the Bush Jr. era, when his popularity was so low, the GOP seemed toxic. Obama was an awesome candidate that came along at the right time. Back then, after the Obama landslide, Pundits asked if that was the end of the GOP. If only they'd seen into the future at Ezra Klein's piece. 😉 I don't want to see the Dems "die on that leftist hill" after the midterms, whatever issue might represent that leftist hill. To quote Teixeira.... So this would be a great time for the left to recalibrate its approach, right? But are they? To paraphrase George W. Bush: “Is our leftists learning?” Frankly I'm exhausted by how the left seems to burn everything down if we move to the center. Even now I've been called names for supporting Talarico. "Your white is showing." "Your racism is showing." etc. When I watched the new Adam Kinzinger documentary on YouTube I interpreted a briefly passing comment he made, that he doesn't expect anything different from liberals. They don't change. I hope he's wrong.

I'll be there! Arriving from Cambodia Saturday afternoon.

After a two-hour flight from Kuala Lumpur, I arrived in Siem Reap, Cambodia. This was my first time using the new airport. Everything went very smoothly (immigration and baggage claim), and outside the building are three different telecom company offices where you can buy a SIM card with internet very cheaply. The new airport is so far from the city! It took me an hour to reach my hotel. There's a very nice new road for most of it, but the speed limit there is only 60 km/h. That's not very fast. I arrived at the MEN'S Resort hotel. After settling into my room, I went to relax by the pool. Between five and six, many men entered the resort to use the sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, and cruising area. A mix of older Western tourists and young Khmer boys. The dimly lit steam room seemed particularly popular for cruising. The lockable cabins were also frequently used. Nudity is not permitted in or around the pool. In the cruising area, including the steam room, jacuzzi, etc., nudity is permitted. Men walk around with a small towel. Some with nothing underneath, but many with underwear on. Just to be clear: anyone not staying at the resort can still use the facilities for a small entrance fee. Massages are also available and can be booked through reception. Peak cruising time is between about 7 and 8:30 PM. After 9 PM, it completely empties out. So it's a relatively short window to "peak"... Haha. Even I, as a somewhat chubby 45-year-old man, had some guys interested because there was some touching here and there, especially in the steam room. Sometimes subtle, sometimes not so subtle. One guy in particular caught my eye. Very cute. From Cambodia but only in Siem Reap for a few days. After we touched each other in the jacuzzi, he invited me to a private room together. He's an eager kisser, too. Very nice.

You provide a good précis there of the conservative civil servant position on the last years of the British rule in Hong Kong. i don’t think either of us has much to add at this stage. However I hope that readers will note that the position elucidated is predicated on the notion that democracy in general, and in particular pressure from below in Hong Kong for more democracy, is being accepted as a bad thing. Not a worldview I can support.

Wow. That seems like a pretty steep 'off fee' compared to clubs in Bangkok. Is it that high to discourage such activity?

I just returned from BKK. I managed to book Faros from 15M massage. Do note his pict is quite close to the real person. Only problem is he is strg hence require some foreplay n watching strg porn to get it hard. He got hard quite fast haha ! The massage was around 600bht tip was min 1000 but. So not too bad. The place is not lux just basic with a mattress on the floor but clean. There's a shower outside for u to use. Overall ok experience. Can't compare with the upmarket places like TCS , KLOVER OR MOTION. but then again it's half the price. Might be better to pick a gay one. As they maybe more into the sex bit. On another note, I also managed to try 2 MB separately from Jackd. The photos they send were definitely not them. So be very careful with these MB. Upon arrival I could tell it was not the same person. But I just took them n had a good fuck n so be done with it. I did tell them not to use other boys pict !

I assumed that was a reference to Nero fiddling (sic), while Rome burned.

Contained Novichok?

Funeral Director's Monthly?

It takes one to know one!

Even before Telephone Bar, Balcony Bar and Sphinx, Soi 4 had one of the great dance clubs - Rome Club. Originally named the Siamese Doll Bar, by 1975 it was the 'in' place in Soi 4. I don't think it had discotheque in its title but it certainly was a disco and played great music. And how gay men of all ages thronged to it - and some girls as well! It was packed many nights of the week. It ran very successfully for many years until the owner decided for some reason to change the name around the end of the 1990s. I think it's name changed to Roxy and for a time around 2003 it hosted the group of professional dance students which had originated in Soi Twlight's X-Treme Bar. But the Club very quickly went down hill and then closed. There was indeed a somewhat mysterious fire in the building in 1996 but the building certainly did not burn down. I think @mauRICE may be thinking about the ghastly disco fire in the Santika disco in Ekkamai in 2009 when 67 were killed and a further 222 injured. Discos were hugely popular in the mid-1980s and 1990s, and then with few exceptions the fad seemed to die off. Who now remembers the massive Ministry of Sound, a disco that lasted little more than a year, or the much more fashionable upmarket Bed Supper Club which closed in 2013?

Try this for Line:- Or, this for TikTok:- Unfortunately their X account has been suspended for "violating the rules".

Very disturbing times indeed. Keep safe GoldMember.

Emie/1981...or anyone else. I cannot open your link, as I keep on getting "unknown error". Is there a possibility of resending it, please. I would like to find out the name of the boy I chose and some of the photos of the other boys tickled my fancy too.

unfortunately and with bleeding heart I need to say " no, not yet and likely not any time soon". Other travel plans for late spring and financial constrains conspired.

venue is still happy to collect 1050 baht off fee for taking guy from premises

I always stay in On Nut for part of my vacation in Bangkok. When this forum alerted me to the existence of Fafa Massage I was only mildly interested as the few photos I saw of the available boys did not fit my normal type. However, I eventually decided to pay an early afternoon visit. I was a bit diffident about going inside and I sat on a step over the road for several minutes. A man who apparently was the manager was the only guy outside and he was tinkering on a motorcycle and went in and out of the venue a few times. I saw a young guy walking inside and I did like the look of him. So I finally plucked up the courage to go inside. The manager gave me a comprehensive photo portfolio, but before I had the chance to peruse it he brought in a group of about half a dozen boys, including the one I had eyed up. I selected him and I was told that the fees would be 800 baht plus 1500 for the boy. I was told that it was for 1 1/2 hours. So we went upstairs and after my shower the boy stripped down completely and started to massage my back. I actually found myself very attracted to his lean physique. Now he wasn't a great masseur at all, but it felt good to have his bare skin on top of me. After having my back massaged he turned me over and he indicated that he was ready to fuck me. During the whole process he did not say one word of English. Oh, I tell a lie as when he was fucking me, he kept on saying "fuck...fuck...fuck", which I found arousing as I do like verbal. He then signalled that he wanted me to fuck him. Well, we didn't do the allotted time. But that didn't matter and I left more than satisfied.

There are a few clubs in Bangkok and Pattaya that currently use the word Disco or Discotheque in their name. The second photo below shows the Lucifer Disko sign on Walking Street in Pattaya. Just tell your friend that you remember the New Screw Boys A Go Go Bar & Discotheque.

What would be your concern?

I just don't get what Bill Maher doesn't get about stupidity, and having no strategy. Bill Maher just has to make stupid jokes. So I guess there is no downside to stupidity for him. Does Bill Maher find it funny that we killed the Ayatollah to get the Ayatollah's son. Is that funny? HA HA HA. Does Bill Maher find it funny that the new regime will be younger, and probably even more hardline? HA HA HA. Does Bill Maher find it funny that we are empowering The Genocide Jew to kill tens of thousands more innocent people? HA HA HA Does Bill Maher find it funny that the only way we can prevent any of this is to get lots of young Americans killed in a war no one asked for? HA HA HA Will Bill Maher go to Iran to personally try to kill the bad guys he does not like? HA HA HA Does Bill Maher think its funny that the price of gas will go up, and his viewers' retirement accounts will go down? HA HA HA Personally, I find it funny that Maher is so stupid! When pressed, all he can say is, "It's not ALL our fault." Stupid jerk!
