Re: Outbreak of Unidentified Coronavirus In China as New Year Approaches

Forgive me if this has been covered already. But I am curious, has it been reported from China whether this virus is mainly killing the very young, very old and those with compromised immune systems? If so then it's really not too different from the flu, except for being contagious during the incub...

Re: Viagra, Kamagra, Cialis, Apcalis

I didn't mean to give that impression at all. I just believe it's kind of unhealthy taking these pills that affect your constitution so much. I've been hearing about guys corpsing it mid stroke while using these things for decades. Take care out there. 8-) Before taking any medicine, you should do ...

Re: Greta Thunberg's climate change speech

Communism . . . yawn like talking to a badly drawn caricature People forget fast, especially those who never lived under it. That doesn't explain why in many post-communist societies, after some years some people start to vote for communists again, the very same people that used to suffer from it. ...

Re: Why do so many here seem to have encountered bitter divorces?

And YES, his post did piss me off, and this was the politest reply I could muster. Well, you did a good job of describing your experience in a perfectly normal tone, so job well done in that regard! That was a pretty horrific experience :( I am sorry I pissed you off. That was truly not the intenti...

Re: Why do so many here seem to have encountered bitter divorces?

I guess then that another differentiator was that I never had a long term relationship with a woman earning significantly less than me, so whatever was put in the nest was more or less a shared expense, thus in a split you typically end up with more or less the amount that you put into it.

Why do so many here seem to have encountered bitter divorces?

Quite often I see mentions about previous relationships here that can pretty much be summarised as wife took everything. What I can't get is why so many seem to still get married in the first place. I have had all kinds of relationships, the longest over ten years, but I never entered into marriage,...

Re: Outbreak of Unidentified Coronavirus In China as New Year Approaches

Flew into Penang from Bangkok this evening and there was a medical team screening everyone on arrival. Pointed some sort of laser device at my head, I guess that's the thermal imaging thingy they refer to. That sounds more like a remote thermometer, they often have a red beam to help you with your ...
