I don't think anyone with any decency would think anything but "well done".

No, I don;t have nay theft or fire insurance. Where did you say you lived?

Well that answers my question. Now I know you are just a jerk looking to start fights. My solution to you is to put you on ignore and go on with my life. I have no time for crap and I sense that is exactly what you are about.

No, you are barking up the wrong tree. I and others have been critical of Z, Michael and GB on this board when it was called for. Thaiworthy is just another poster who I think is sometimes too quick on the gun, but I am sure he means well. As to your question was permission granted, as per board rules? Probably not. However, the boys are obviously (to me) at the beach to be seen, they are not in a compromising location or place, and since there are thousands of boys that use the beach they do have a great degree of anonymity. While I am the first to harp at one moderators lack use of any rule, I think even a cursory examination of the basis for the rules of this board should lead you to believe that the purpose of these rules is to avoid causing harm to another. Unless you go into improbable contortions, I doubt you can show where any harm was caused by the posting of these pictures. No harm no crime. By the way, I am just a poster and my opinion may or may not be the moderators. Since this is a question about the board rules wouldn't it be best address the question at him/her rather then what sound like at attack on the board itself? I do hope you are for real and not just some jerk looking to start fights. If you are real, welcome to the board.

Sorry, kokopelli, but I could not agree more NO

On a brighter note, I predict a more stable government with glowing support, the baht to rise to 32.5 and a fantastic year for tourism. I also see the actual start of a real flood control project, a serious attempt to get some control over corruption. More and more tourist from the Arab world and the old Soviet Union will descend on Pattaya, and Chiang Mai's traffic will become more and more unbearable. Before you ask, yes my glasses do have a rose tint. "Oft expectation fails, and most oft there Where most it promises; and oft it hits Where hope is coldest, and despair most fits.

Z you have a good eye for scenery. Thanks, and please take your camera everytime you go to the beach.

Exactly Bob, and it is a shame that you were not able to post this on the other board after that man's reply. I know that I could add more and I am sure others could also. I doubt it would have changed his opinion, but at least he will know that many do not think the way he does.

I concur. My last 16 years of work was spent in a government hospital. As it was the Veterans Administration many of the patients are treated for free, especially those with drug habits. Yet, we have one of the best programs in the USA, and gave some of the best care to all patients, whether or not they could pay.. Many of the staff had their care at the hospital, in spite of having first class insurance. I think the contributing factor, is time and not whether or not the doctors are different in public or private hospitals. Lets face it doctors try to do their best, but when you see so many patients and have the limited resources to do test, xrays, etc as the doctors do in Thailand's public arena, you may very well miss something that the doctor with more time and better resources can catch. I hardly think it is ever the fault of the doctors, but just the environment they work in. This is were the Farangs ability to move the patient to a less intense, better equiped hospital environment really does make a difference

Yes, more.

I am really glad you have a close personal friend. TJ does sound like a nice guy. I go to message boards for information, and discussion. Sentiments are fine and I am glad you can feel that way. Nevertheless, please don't let your personal dislike for another opinion pre censor that opinion. I fine it very difficult to believe that TJ--in spite of your claim--would wish to stop all or any discussion on whether or not you should help others and how it makes you feel. By the way I do post on baht stop, and Gay Ting and tong (where I also moderate) and SGT and none of these boards would allow censor shiip of an opinion either. What is "mebbe"?

Controversy is welcome on this board. Everyone does not have to be in lockstep. How in the hell can you be afraid of a difference of opinion? While I concur witjh the sentiments so far, I would have given Bkkguy a more constructive response, by pointing out why he is---in my opinion---wrong. However, I am not faulting GB, as the OP asked for the thread to be closed. However, that is not the case here. If you cannot stand to hear opinions that differ from yours, this may not be your board.

A happy New Year to you and this board and all the mods and the administrator. A special Happy New Year to Kokopelli. Please enjoy your flat bread (fry Bread) and remember: It is important to reflect, as a new year starts, what you have learned from the year passing and what you want from the year ahead. May your coming year be filled with joys that only putting your eyes on the Great Spirit can bring. Together, each of you, my people, and I will join together in the Great Spirit and pray for peace.

It is beginning to sound like that, but I think you were correct to call him. I don't see any red light here, and no harm in trying. I remember the old days of being in the closet where gays would even leave their phone numbers on bath room walls in an attempt to meet someone gay. (I never did, but I know some who did and got lucky.) It is a shame it was not for real as it very well could have been someone trying to reach out. I think it was nice of you to call him and were I not married i would have done the same, but then I am not a cynic in spite of my age.

Yes, this answer is right on. If this person was being treated for this mental condition and you were one of this person's caregivers, or had knowledge of this person's mental illness and took advantage of that knowledge, then I think you would be culpable. Without that knowledge the worse you would be would be this person's victim. I don't know about you guys, but I have accidentally met nut cases who were out cruising, and believe me, it was no fun. However, like others I am confused by what exactly is acting like a 14 year old having sex. I guess I don;t get out enough to understand the concept. On the other hand, I am sure some of the people who live in Pattaya probably know what that means.

Rogie, thanks for the review. This place was first reported on SGT not GBT. http://www.sawatdee-gay-thailand.com/forum/thanksgiving-day-dinner-deli-zza-t22411.html?hilit=Deli From the reviews it sounds like a must-go place. Next time you go back, please ask the owner to start a franchise in Chiang Mai.

I looked it up and it comes from old English, probably the root is Germanic. However, the present German word for decay is Verfallen which sort of sounds more like a whore house then Breothen Short for brothel-house, from Middle English brothel, prostitute, from brothen, past participle of brethen, to go to ruin, from Old English brothan, to decay.]

That is probably not a joke. North Korea is the actual 1984 that Orwell prophesied. Yes Panda-like appearance is the perfect description of this "great leader"..

No one look at him and I too believe in Santa Claus. While much of North Korea may be facing starvation, he looks like he feeds on a more then a regular basis. Maybe you Pattaya regulars can get your picture taken with him at YAYA bar.

Well, all I can say is the author I quote has won every literary award thats out there. Tell me did you like the movies "No country for old men" or "The Road".

He is talking about a 10 Amp miniature circuit breaker and the impossibility of running a 3500 Watt water heater on such a small circuit breaker. the basic rule is Watts equals Amps times Volts or WAV In this case on a 220 volt circuit were you have X amount of Watts and 10 Amps, the amount of Watts you can run on this breaker is: Watts ='s 10Amps times 220 volts for the masimum of 2200 watts making it impossible to run a 3500 watt heater. To find out what you would need to run a 3500 watts heater on 220 Volts: 3500 watts ='s x Amps times 220 which works out to: 3500 divided by 220 ='s 15.91 Amps. A decent electrican would now install a 20 AMP MCB. Is this clear enough???

Okay not LMTU, but know that in a good writers hands bad spelling and bad English can be a work of art. "He walked out in the gray light and stood and he saw for a brief moment the absolute truth of the world. The cold relentless circling of the intestate earth. Darkness implacable. The blind dogs of the sun in their running. The crushing black vacuum of the universe. And somewhere two hunted animals trembling like ground-foxes in their cover. Borrowed time and borrowed world and borrowed eyes with which to sorrow it." OR THIS LONG RUN-ON LMTU TYPE SENTENCE ""The truth about the world, he said, is that anything is possible. Had you not seen it all from birth and thereby bled it of its strangeness it would appear to you for what it is, a hat trick in a medicine show, a fevered dream, a trance bepopulate with chimeras having neither analogue nor precedent, an itinerant carnival, a migratory tentshow whose ultimate destination after many a pitch in many a mudded field is unspeakable and calamitous beyond reckoning. These are two quotes by what can easy be said to be one of the worlds best writers of English, and yet most English teachers would correct 50% of what he writes.

???????????????This place is there but it is not gay is any sense of the word. It may be gay friendly-----most of Chiang Mai is----but it caters to single Hetro men and the bar is staffed with young women. Probably nice of you to advertise it, but on a gay publication that may be misleading. Suggest your intern turn to radchada gay guide for Chiang Mai which is complete and kept updated. http://www.radchada.com/gay-chiang-mai-gay-scene-guide.html

I too voted No. Diversity of staff will bring in more customers. The more customers you have the greater your chance of success. It sounds more like your want to build your fantasy, rather then build a business.
