  1. What's in a label. Stop labeling and you stop being beaten up by a 10 foot tall Hells Angel after the event

    Pulling half a quote out of somewhere else

    "PJ O'Rourke rather touched on the same point when he said that gender matters sometimes – for example, when making babies – and not at all at other times –"

  2. FOR SURE it can't "compete with the fuck fest Sin City has to offer" but I managed to spend two weeks there in March of last year and "ate" my fill of mainly "freelancers" hanging out around Bangla and Soi Croc and one well known woman from C&D and even some wandering home up Soi Sansabar. I like the sea, and the open air sewer that's called the sea in Pattaya just will not cut it. That said when the cruise ships are anchored off Patong beach they are just dumping STRAIGHT into the bay. Arseholes as they all have holding tanks!

    It's definitely not as cruisey as it was say five years ago but it's STILL worth a look. Probably a week would be more than enough for most.

    It's hey day was back when Aussie Don? was working there with that other Aussie chap who shan't be mentioned when C&D was still in Tiger, and Soi Croc REALLY did ROCK!

    One plus is that many international flights land directly in Phuket by passing the Bangkok transit and associated costs, although Phuket/Patong especially if you land after 22:00hrs and before 6:00hrs STILL has the most well tuned taxi mafia in all of Thailand. However Patong is compact enough to walk around avoiding taxis full stop.

    Ross Caputi, a former marine who participated in the US’s second siege of Fallujah, writes that the reason the American Sniper book and film have been so successful is that they “tell us exactly what we want to hear”: that US America is “benevolent” and “righteous”. That, he says, is why the book and film are so popular; their popularity speaks volumes about US society, and signals more danger ahead for the rest of the world.

    The killings for which Chris Kyle is idolized, Caputi notes, were perpetrated during his participation in the second US siege of Fallujah, which Caputi, from firsthand knowledge, calls an “atrocity”...

    Confused About How You’re Supposed To Feel About ‘American Sniper’? Here Are 20 Thinkpieces That Can Help You Put Things In Perspective

  4. I think the point was from where I originally got this snippet was that MANY people not from this southern part of the world think that Australia is closer to "Asia". As the figures show it isn't really.

    In a nine hour flight from Brisbane Australia to BKK over five 1/2hours of that is OVER the Australian land mass, a pretty flight in daylight and Brisbane is roughly halfway up the east side of Australia. Melbourne is another 3? hour south and Tasmania 5+ hours, Perth ~ 5hours.

    If it wasn't for the absurd security theatre flying from A-B would be as fast as it used to be. Really arriving for a flight 2-3 hours before is NUTS
