Don't judge by looks alone. I know some who are over 18yo and look 15 while others who are 15 look over 18 yo. The majority of the workers are over 18. There are some bars/clubs where there is no question that they are 18 or over.

USA has the most gold reserves, about 8,000 tons; the UK about 300 tons.

Mitt is no competition for Koko. Who would vote for a guy who doesn't drink wine or coffee?

Have you forgotten Kokopelli? He is running on an independent ticket and likely to appeal to Native America voters as well as all wine drinkers. His motto, "wine in every glass".

Just my opinion, but it seems that many of these smokers are from certain European countries where they think they have a right to smoke anywhere and, of course, the Russians who couldn't care less.

Yes, I was seasoned from my nights in the strip clubs of Montreal. However there is so much info on the various gay forums that the answer to all your questions is there if one looks and reads. Nonetheless, just step into any of the go-go clubs in Thailand and you will know all about money boys, go-go boys and farang and even the worst of the worst, mamasans, within about 5 minutes. I do grant you that the first time entering a go-go club might be intimidating, but then, you are not going to Thailand for a Sunday sermon. Stop fretting, take the plunge, and have the best time of your life.

I was going to save this for next April Fool, but this not a joke, or is it? The US Center for Disease Control has posted guidelines for emergency preparedness in event of a zombie infestation. Zombies can spread their condition via a virus which can be contacted through bites and contact with bodily fluids. Citizens are advised to have an emergency kit to include water, first aid supplies (bites are most often fatal) and most importantly, a baseball bat! Many don't believe in zombies but I have seen them for myself staggering around Sunee Plaza; haven't we all? http://emergency.cdc.gov/socialmedia/zombies_blog.asp

Am I the only one who is getting suspicious of the OP's questions? What's a money boy, what's a go go boy, what's a farang?

Maybe Kokopelli should throw his headdress into the ring? My avatar should get the gay vote. Only problem is Koko cannot find his birth certificate.

A good friend recently visited Manila and his secret to success was GayRomeo. He did a lot of research on line on GB and did very well. His finest experience was with a handsome, gay, medical student who, totally sexually suppressed and in the closet, could not get enough of sex and no money involved. Oh, my friend is on the "portly" size so that is not a problem.

Likely an older "boy" would be more inclined to become a boyfriend. Their careers in the clubs are ending and they are wiser as well as older.

At least you earned "honorable mention". Congratulations.

I have seen Jim and his companion many times in the Sunee area but only had a chance to speak with him once, just two months ago at Ouds. A very nice man. I never realized that he was so ill.

Yes, a sucker is born every minute! And there is only one letter difference between lover and loser. I dealt with a loser for 10 years and, even now, want to hit the reply button to his last email. But enough is enough and losers are always losers and that will not change. Question is, who is the loser in this situation?

Now I like that idea, frequentflier! Kokopelli, You new Chief in Command.

I agree we are all entitled to our opinions, I just don't see why it is necessary to label my comments as nonsense and ridiculous. As far as the qualifications for President, as written in the US Constitution, the original drafters of the document obviously had good reason for including the natural born and age requirement. They, the writers, did allow for naturalized citizens to become Senators (30 yo and a citizen for 9 years prior to election) and Representative (25 yo and 7 years a citizen prior to election). They knew what they were doing and had good reason for their actions. For sure, anyone could now go through the document, line by line, word by word, and revise and edit it to suit their personal views. Fortunately changes to the Constitution are difficult to make and should only be undertaken for just cause. (One not such good cause was the 18th Amendment/Prohibition). Having wandered far off course from President Obama and his birth certificate I will cede further discussion to other posters.

Firstly, the reference to Cubans was only an example, not meant to be prejudicial. Likewise I don't believe my opinions are any more nonsense then that put forth by any other member of this forum. For me, I just don't see why it would be desirable to have other than a natural born citizen as President. Is the pool of qualified, natural born citizens that small to require expanding to foreign born citizens? Now, if Germany only had a requirement for their Chancellor to be natural born, then Adolph, an Austrian, might not have gained control of Germany. There are some examples of other then natural born citizens taking over governments with bad results, such as Napoleon and Maximilian. Even Stalin was not a Russian but from Georgia, which had been annexed by Russia. Arnold in California is a good example of how people got carried away over a popular, charismatic actor and elected him governor although not at all qualified and did not solve the state's problems. His predecessor, Gray Davis, Democrat, was was booted out of office in a virtual coup d'etat and replaced by Arnold a Republican. And then there was talk of changing the US Constitution just so he might have a chance as President. This could make for a great book about a conspiracy to take over the US by a foreign born person who even married into a prominent family to advance his political career.

Actually I do question the loyalty of some naturalized (not natural born) citizens as possible presidential candidates. For example, many Cubans have moved to the US and have become citizens and hold elected office, but the Cuban community in Florida is very much aligned with the politics of Cuba and continues to stifle normalized relations. I really am not sure just where some of them stand. Once the door is opened to other then natural born, where is the end? Naturalized citizens, legal residents, or anyone else in the world? Give the founding fathers some credit for their foresight.

Reading some of the qualifications for natural born,it would seem that, even if the President was born outside the US, he would still qualify since his mother was a US citizen and she did live in the US for 5 years or more. Am I reading this correctly?

I don't think it is at all ridiculous that a requirement for President is to be a natural born citizen of the USA. It is not unconceivable that a foreign born person could be a sleeper or mole with sinister motives. Not that a natural born citizen couldn't be a real threat.

Well, for starters, what about His Majesty, the King; born in the USA. So that would make him a US citizen and eligible to be President.

Actually he had proven it previously but some just don't want to accept the truth. The repiglicans will likely keep sounding like a bunch of squealing pigs.

Delta is supposed to be offering an economy plus seat on international flights and, I believe, Gold and Platinum members will be automatically upgraded at no charge. But the seat does not compare with Thai Airs Premium Economy. I think only option is Thai Air in Premium Economy and build miles for future upgrades.
