another thought from v.c.

The shooter was Korean American. I have been to colleges on the East Coast and There are a lot of Korean-American kids studying peacefully. The fact that this kid felt marginalized by his peer probably stems from his choice of majors. He was an English Major. Not too many asians major in English. If...

Hello from v.c.

It was kind of a coincidence that we started talking about gun control just when this happened in Virginia wasn't it? The American attitude is that if we outlawed the guns and took them away from the law abiding people, there would still be a subculture of people who break the law, and will have gun...

new guy treatment.

When I first got on. I was asking about the death of an aquaintance of an aquaintance. Apparently I ruffled a lot of feathers as this was apparently a taboo subject and apparently there were some threats made to the staff to censure me. I was barred from sending or receiving any pms which kind of pi...

not being paranoid. just cautious.

That is the first time someone has even moderately agreed with any of my viewpoints. If you could see some of the responses to some of my posts, you would get paranoid as well. I have tried to post my 30 meaningful posts instead of just one word replies , but some people have been downright hostile ...

gun control.

To say gun control is a local issue and not a national or state issue is unrealistic. anybody in america can buy a gun at the states where the restrictions are few, and just toss it in the trunk of his car and drive wherever he wants to be. I am positive that just because guns might be technically i...

drilling wells.

The cost of the well will be dependent on how far down you have to dig to get to the aquifer. sometimes only 10 meters , sometimes 100 . you cannot say for sure. there is no gaurantee you will hit water , unless your neighbors have wells also.

dogs and dog owners.

They say people select dogs which are an extension of their own personalities. Often times you see the dog and the owner looks just like the dog. I see many adds from guys who want to hook their dog up with another dog to breed. I think that tells you something about the dog owner. I have a siberian...

What is a troll?

As I remember from my childhood, a troll is a fictional charactar who hides under the bridge and exacts a toll from all those who pass over it. I guess kind of like the bar owners here in Thailand who extract a barfine for picking up a girl. So I would venture to say that the real trolls out there a...

Hua Hin to Pattaya.

Hi , Do you ever fly from Hua hin , across the gulf to Pattaya? there are quite a lot of small fields there. and some hangar space as well. It is only 67 miles or about 130 kilometers across the gulf, It would sure beat the five hour drive to be able to fly there in less than an hour. I would be hap...

pistols and rifles.

yes, I agree, maybe we should crackdown on handguns as they are more easily concealed and probably cause more harm than rifles and shotguns. handguns are dangerous to children as well. I suggested that the freedoms we have in America make it attractive for people around the world to invest here, Eve...

defining rape.

I am sure a lot of girls here got their first experiences with relatives or family members. Have you seen how the poor people live? They often all sleep together in the same room, two to a bed or more. I am sure a lot of bargirls are forced to do things they might not want to do as a condition for k...

I dont google.

merchant implies that I am selling something. what am I selling? If people get wound up, maybe it is because they recognize a bit of themselves in what I might be saying. sometimes the truth about oneself from another perspective is not so easy to take. You guys ask for an opinion of what other peop...
