Same when he mentions date when he will return to Thailand...

Mention of Jeffrey Dahmer reminds me that the police who returned the 14-year old naked Laotian boy to him should have been jailed for failing to do their jobs. Was anyone even admonished? Nope! The three ladies who had reported the matter to the police had drawn their attention to blood on several parts of the teenager's body. They were furious that no action was taken.

Oh please do not be so silly and please do not put words into my posts. I reported what has been reported in the media with comments made by Mr. And Mrs. Reiner. I did not make them up - and you failed to point out that I had stated very clearly in my first line "not because it is my own view - not in the slightest." But you jump on the bandwagon and tell the Board that I know better than professionals. Grow up, please!

In all fairness to Dictator Trump, he does NOT see any affordability problems with the crowd he "hangs" with.....THEY are all prospering.....rolling in dough ! And everyone else in America, he doesnt give a fuck about.... And "screaming" at Americans should get that point across ? Basically he was telling the country "LEAVE ME ALONE".. I am doing a great job,

I was going to buy a red cashmere sweater, in a sale, but the queue (line) was too long, so I gave up. When I got home, and looked in my wardrobe, I already had two!

Wow, wow, wow. So you actually believe that Nick Reiner (and his parents and you) knew better than professionals with "diplomas on their walls," who actually looked at the science of the matter and studied the issues for years, how to treat himself? News flash: almost all addicts lie. I think that the evidence is pretty plain. The fact that the parents rejected knowledgeable professionals' views and advice is what led him to relapsing and ultimately to kill his parents. The fact that the three of them were so sure they knew better than the experts how to treat him is what led to the tragedy. Similar fates have happened to many people who eschewed the advice of medical professionals because they knew from their faith that medical professionals didn't know what they were talking about (such as Scientologists and Christian Scientists including Jim Henson). Although the parental instinct may be to cover up, comfort, and enable all of the messes addicts get into, this behavior is ultimately to the detriment of well-being of the addict, to say nothing of those around the addict. While addicts love it, enabling is ultimately counter-productive. For the most intransigent addicts, a good, long prison sentence is ultimately what will help them change their behavior. Some addicts need more time in jail than others. Paris Hilton was a spoiled brat, doing drugs, driving under the influence, etc. Fortunately for her, her judge knew she needed some time in jail to reflect on her behavior. When she drove while her license was suspended for a DUI, she finally served 23 days. Although she continues to be a bit of a wild woman, her behavior has improved since being behind bars.

I may stay in BGC this time Although Makati is probably better for guys to meet up

I'll never forget the words of those who killed him: "It's a pity he can only be killed once!". Ceaușescu was indeed a monster. I felt the same when Jeffrey Dahmer was killed.

No. That's why I didn't post two contributions of my own .

It is not. However, because gay men in their youth have more free time due to social homophobia, while their classmates are chasing girls during puberty, they generally achieve higher exam scores in school (the number of universities a high school graduate can apply to depends on their final exam scores). Therefore, the number of gay men in factories is low, while there are noticeably more of them in offices, private companies in managerial positions, and in government service. And in the service industries of large Russian cities, there are many gay migrants: young men who have left small towns and villages in Russia and from countries of the former USSR due well known countryside homophobia in such small places, primarily from Belarus and Ukraine, due to their excellent Russian language skills. The service industry has the greatest need for labor, so it's easiest to get a job there – primarily as bartenders and waiters. Such jobs are available from the age of 16 (with parental permission, they can work up to 6 hours a day) and do not require special education or skills – they are trained on the job. And part-time workers are very welcome in services.

Manila calling

With 15 now dead, this has reminded me of the much larger massacre of another group of people in Sydney, this time belonging to the LGBT community. Roughly from the mid-1970s to the late-1990s, it is estimated that 88 gay men were murdered and an untold number of others assaulted in various part of Sydney, including Marks Park very close to Bondi Beach. Marks Park was a favoured meeting ground for gay men and many were murdered by being thrown off the cliff. Several gay-hating gangs were reported to be involved. There existed in Sydney at the time a serious attitude of homophobia. Homosexuality was only decriminalised in New South Wales in 1984 just as the AIDS pandemic swept the country. For years the NSW police had been arresting anyone suspected of being gay. That did not change with the change in the law and there remained within the police force the view that all gay men were criminals. Thus the investigation into the gay murders was half-hearted at best. Only a few culprits were ever brought to justice. The Bondi Memorial 'Rise' artwork in Marks Park with the names of the known dead within the stonework (for it is suspected that at least 30 were never reported) commemorates these dark days of Sydney's gay past.

I will be there in February Are you in Manila or Cebu ? I think Manila is better to meet guys right both paid & unpaid

@vinapu brings Einstein's Theory of Relativity into the thread.

I'm always curous! Although I have had some not pleasant ding-dongs with @Moses (partly my fault, I admit), I would appreciate his advice if he wishes to give it. I haven't been to Moscow since 2011. As mentioned in a thread yesterday, for part of that visit I was at a Conference and we were housed at the lovely Swissotel. It has a circular bar at the top from which you can see many of the city's landmarks. On two evenings, three colleagues and I (all but one gay) spent quite lovely evenings in that bar. Our waiter was a beautiful slim Russian named Pavel and it seemed he twigged quite quickly that we were a gayish crowd. We particularly enjoyed watching the antics of the young barmen who were all equally handsome and superb at their job. Pavel told us that all were from another country which I cannot now remember and one had won a bartenders' prize at some quite major competition. Watching these guys go about their work made us all think some - quite a few, in fact - were probably gay. Is that likely to be true, or is it more likely they were adopting certain western mannerisms only to make us think that? Two years later, I was with a friend in St. Petersburg - fabulous city! En route to Catherine's Palace, we noticed a lot of young guys probably in the 17-20 age range. We later realised there was a stop at a nearby Technical College. They were laughing and having a good time. Two even stood up to give us their seats (both of us having grey hair - but in 25 years of living in Bangkok this has happened to me only twice!) Although my companion on that trip was a lady, two of the students seemed - and perhaps this was merely wishful thinking - to be looking at me rather intently. When they left the carriage, both looked round at me. The impression I had was that both might have been gay. On that trip we had got an amazing deal at a 5-star hotel on Nevsky Prospekt. Serving in the Executive Lounge was a gorgeous looking young man who told me he was 18 and only worked part-time to save up for a laptop computer. His English was amazingly good and I spent an entire afternoon just chatting with him - and also admiring his uniform which had rather tight-fitting pants! He gave me an idea of some places to visit which are not on the usual itineraries, one of which was just a rather lovely park. I had visions of his being gay and spending a night in my large room, but of course that would have been totally out of the question. I never even found out if he was gay. Probably not, but I made sure he had a handsome tip to put towards the purchase of his computer! So my question is: is it usual for young gay men to be attracted to service jobs in Russia?

its why Thai- Cambodia conflict is still not resolved

I wonder if their 60 minutes last longer than 1 hour or is shorter

Don't you realise it's just a bit of fun - not a course in English dialects or syllable counts? You could have added that Madras no longer exists. But fitting Chennai into the limerick doesn't quite work!

Agreed. Honeker was an ultra-strict harliner and his regime in East Germany was arguably harsher on the people than any in the western communist bloc, with the exception of the loathed Ceausescu in Romania. In this respect he followed almost exactly his predecessor, the staunch Leninist Walter Ulbricht. Ubricht's first job was to call in Soviet troops to put down a widespread uprising. For whatever reason, he twice made it on to the cover of TIME magazine, once around the start of his regime which the west assumed might be relatively liberal, and once when the Wall had just gone up and the country locked down. His attempts to build a Stalinist state failed miserably leading to mass migration to West Berlin. Hence his decision to build the Wall and shoot anyone trying to escape. Increasingly he failed to follow Moscow's directives. He was finally forced out of office in 1971 and replaced by his fellow dictator Honecker. He died two years later. Although the Wall was not built under his regime, Honecker was given responsibility for it and was exceedingly proud of what he had achieved. Yet, like his predecessor, we should recall that by the time he departed Germany, Honecker was a very sick man. He was suffereing from liver cancer. Arrested in 1990, he was released when his medical condition became known. He was quickly spirited to Moscow where he could not be touched by the Arrest Warrant issued in West Berlin. He was in fact brought back to Berlin in July 1992 to face 75 criminal charges and put on trial. It was in January 1993 that he was released on medical grounds and permitted to fly to Chile. A very sick man, he died the following year. Although it is thought he lived a normal life after his ouster, it was in fact very different. For him it must have been a miserable few years. He would have been better off suffering the fate of Ceausescu - capture by his own people three days after fleeing in a helicopter and shot.

Really rich people don't buy Rolex watches - they buy million dollar watches from boutique manufacturers like Richard Mille. I'll show you mine if you show me yours! 😂

I don't even think they are that rare when one considers tipping pattern as well as fact that often after the show bars are emptying quite fast

New to post but have ready many of the posts on this forum. Am also a newbie to the Brazil sauna scene and would appreciate some tips if anybody has any for places like Lagoa. I read some concerning reviews online that make me wonder if it's safe enough to even check it out... thoughts?

I never used their services buy my friends did and they allowed to pay fee ( on top of tip of course) directly to the boy in the room when they explained they don't have Thai bank account
