I've never been into Songkran. I discovered it in another ladyboy forum after my fist trip in Thailand. I had found explainations in wikipedia. It's supposed to be a religious celebration.  "Traditionally, during this occasion, Thais return to their families and express reverence to their elders by anointing their hands with fragrant water, while acquiring merits through the act of offering food to the monks... In Pattaya, the festive atmosphere takes on a frenzied and sometimes extravagant tone, with a multitude of tourists and an influx of residents from Bangkok."

I regret that it has become a silly and violent carnival under the influence of foreign tourists. I will always avoid going to Thailand during Songkran for sure.

This. 

Never been to Thailand for Songkran and never want to. Seems to me a festival of giant fuckwittery for every fuckwit drawing breath. Dickhead farang and bar girl trash. 

Sorry for my killjoy vibe. I suppose it's okay for 1-3 days. I know it's very hot there. But when it's over and the idiots are sleeping through hangovers maybe quietly take them away and euthanise them. 

I have always been one who believes it's not gay to feel attraction for shemales/ladyboys. We're attracted to their female appearance. I'm almost exclusively a top so that helps. Admittedly it's harder to convince myself of the non-gayness of it when I have a lb's throbbing cock in my gob!

If I got it well, the article suggests that Republicans may face negative consequences by focusing heavily on transgender issues, as this may not align with the priorities of their base. While identity politics may energize the conservative wing of the party, it could also alienate moderate and independent voters who prioritize economic and social concerns. To broaden their appeal, Republican leaders and activists may need to reassess their messaging and priorities.

I think that the Republican party risks repeating the mistakes of European populists who have failed to build a broader coalition by focusing narrowly on identity issues. Populist parties in Europe that have emphasized anti-immigration and anti-Islam rhetoric have often struggled to expand beyond their core conservative base. Republicans should take note of these experiences and look to address a wider range of concerns to appeal to a larger audience.

To build broad-based support, political leaders should seek common ground and compromise, and address concerns related to the economy, social welfare, and national security.A focus on isolationist policies like "America First" may ultimately undermine the interests of the Western alliance in the face of global threats from Russia and China.

I think you are absolutely right. Single issue parties don't last long (UKIP practically disappeared after Brexit) and populist leaders come to grief when they need to address the difficult detail of issues which got them elected. 

Identity politics are awful. They neglect the majority in pursuit of narrow sectional interests. It's both sides of US politics. It arguably started with Obama but Trump ramped it up to 11. Biden continues it. On another site a Brit guy asked if all Americans are mad. If you follow the politics it seems they are.

Not at all. You are assuming the US system of democracy is the way, the truth and the light. It is not.

There many forms of democracy. Surprisingly, not all formed by the amount of money given by supporters.

I giggle when I hear the dreaded word Socialism mentioned in the conversation in the US. Notice i did not say America. That is North and South America, made up be a lot of countries.

Socialism as used in the US terminology seems to be another form of Communism. I think it is far from it. Maybe we in the west could all learn a thing or two from say the Scandinavian countries etc., where the countries wealth is spread around, at least far more equatably than in other countries.

Yes, the terms and labels mean different things. After a long time on the left I gravitated to the centre-right in my country. But I would still be considered a dangerous lefty by the American Right. Liberal in the US means very left-wing, progressive; everywhere else it means classical liberal, informed by the ideas of the Enlightenment and the caring society. I consider myself a liberal, I think nearly everyone does. But I'm not a liberal in the sense it's understood in the US.

I honestly believe the United States has lost its way the last few years, and no longer has much moral authority or leadership in the West ...

She left CIB some weeks or months ago. Sorry, there's no information about her current whereabouts.

Americans....and people around the world believe that America is a democracy.

Yet it's not possible to have a democracy when there are only 2 choices.

2 choices.... 2 competitors.... 2 groups servicing one market definitively means 1 choice.... 0 competitors.....1 group servicing the market.

That's why market economy nations have anti trust laws.............. because what I wrote above is a truism, not an opinion.

 

issues like "trans rights" are not meant to debate..... they are meant to polarize. To give the appearance of political discourse. They are enflamed to polarize sides so they become so extreme there is the illusion of competition.

Meanwhile issues like education, poverty, war, economics, government graft, budget deficit never rise to the level of this passionate discourse because the polarized sides are emotionally blinded by minor issues like "trans rights"......minor when compared to the issues that directly affect everyone like the ones I listed above.

For those major issues..... the same trajectory continues no matter which party is in office. Education becomes increasingly for the elite..... poverty increases....debt increase.... wars continue.

 

 

I agree. Of all the issues Americans should be discussing trans is about the bottom one. It is a polarising issue in which both sides take extreme dogmatic positions designed to inflame the other. Straw man arguments are thrown into the battle all the time (both sides) ...

Perhaps I shouldn't comment, it's not my country, but to the rest of the world America appears mad. The Democrats - the party of pregnant men. The Republicans - gun nuts and cult followers of Trump. They're both mad though I see the Rep's as more dangerously mad. It's become tribal and unspeakably ugly. In no other Western country / democracy do politicians routinely say they want their opponents thrown into jail, but in America you do.

On a ladyboy forum none of us can be anything but pro-trans. (Really strange if we weren't). But it doesn't mean that we have to buy into everything the activist cohort sells us. Are trans women "real" women? I don't personally think so, but I don't think they're men either - their whole thinking, intuitive sense of themselves, and of course commitment to living as women is female and total. I wish to hell people would just embrace the term trans woman. I think it's accurate, respectful of how they see themselves, and it's a happy compromise - neither wholly female but not male either. The fanatics at either extreme end don't like it however. 

You can make an equally strong case or stronger that it's the far left's culture war.

Refusing to acquiesce to every nutty demand made by the trans lobby does not make one far right or transphobic - a term that's rapidly losing all meaning.

Most reasonable people believe in the right of trans people to live their lives as they choose and to be left alone. But not at the cost of all basic common sense and the right of women (real women) to their own identity and rights and spaces. 

More seriously AI is the nightmare to come. I'm late middle aged. I can't wait to eat the dirt before half the population in developed countries lose their jobs to AI technology. Forget over population, climate change, global war, etc. Fear AI. 

Why can't they have some nice guest visitors to Pattaya playing proper music .....I'm thinking an Abba tribute band, Tom Jones, or folkie troubadour sensation Donovan!

She is a beauty. I've wanked to a few of her porn clips. 

That's my wife (fiance) you're talking about!

So do I Jimmy. Sunny used to say she was pompui and I would tell her she wasn't and that she was beautiful.

But this seems to be the fashion now with ladyboys who want to be 'more beautiful'.

It's a deep anxiety, and I am completely sympathetic. None of us who aren't one can understand the constant fight lbs have to keep themselves looking feminine. There probably isn't a more insecure group in all the world.

Give it up then!

Fair point! but it's been so long now - I can barely remember a time when I didn't smoke.

But how much it cost in treatment of tobacco related health problems?

As high as they're taxed in Aus/NZ I think smokers more than pay for all the health care we need in later life. 

The thing I hate about my smoking - the damn cost of it. Worked out recently that if I didn't smoke I'd save about 6,000AUD a year ... that's easily a bloody trip to TH every year! Grrr!

After

I much much prefer Sunny the way she was, QG - pre Dubai. I don't know why she/they do it. There's always something a little masculine about a lb - my current favourite in Bangkok has very wide and point-y shoulders. I still thinks she's sex on a stick..

I recall she was very sick after those injections QG. Her face (forehead) is now a little 'lumpen'. And done something weird with her hairline because she's dicking around that too ... oh dear. 

Absolutely ridiculous. Bans on smoking inside public buildings, advertising, maybe lifting the age to 21 - fine. A total smoking ban is unenforceable and stupid. 

You are quite right about the health implications. I have become inordinately fond of a lb in BKK - 30 now and starting to overdo it with her face...

(From her Fartbook). Quite horrifying to think what that might have been. Daft thing is that she has an incredibly naturally beautiful face. 

It's not easy being a lb. No question in my mind they compromise their long term health.

Why?

Well in the past you seem to get carried away on ladyboy/transgenders rights! Not sure about recently, I haven't logged on in ages.....

I'm surprised Quiet Guy wasn't all over this (sorry QG!) McLaughlin was not transgender when s/he committed the murder. Became one while incarcerated on death row. 

I think the execution was wrong. All murders are wrong but this was one murder. I actually support the death penalty but only in rare cases - mass murder, terrorism, and war crimes. Or if a murder was particularly depraved - prolonged torture and rape. As far as I know, McLaughlin's case had none of these. 

Her execution was a gross injustice. 

Very old, but this may help (August on the left) .......

I think name tags might be in order when Woodie (and Annat) hits town. BBG, you can get busy with that!

And for god's sake put Annat right on August not being Sunny And put him on a leash..!

he got a higher rank because he has 3 afghani trannies in his dungeon.

lucky him!

nice one Jimmy.

You could tell August I'm a "Rear Admiral" now (2 days ago) ... she might be marginally impressed if you explain what that is. 

Though I bet QG out ranks me *sigh*
