  1. I saw a couple of good movies recently with nice twists. On one, the twist gradually dawns on you; and on the other, it comes suddenly like a slap on the face. Killing Season (2013) w/ Robert De Niro and John Travolta and Odd Thomas (2013). [i love a movie with a good twist at the end ]

  3. Health care seems to be lacking in Cambo. You may have to fly out of the country for decent care in your old age.

  5. That pole dancer reminds me of a beauty I picked up one time in an open air beer bar in Pattaya. She said she'd just arrived in town and want to be a gogo girl. Later, when I had her in my hotel room, it was evident that she had not had a chance to wash up after the long ride on the bus from Issan. Her crotch was one of the funkiest I had ever smelled. But the next day, after she had washed up, it was odorless.

    You have to be careful what you read. Is this web site legit? Is it right wing?

    It was reported recently that illegals are actually good for the economy.

    Back in 1966 when I was in US Army Basic Training, I remember the Range Officer saying we had 3 rounds to zero in our newly issued M-14 rifles. Then we had to qualify as either Expert, Sharpshooter, or Marksman.

    Drugstore.com agreed to replace the stolen items free of charge. Nice of them. Two day after the theft, the replacement anti-fungal medication was left at my door. That was fast; albeit left in plain view of the public again. The regular UPS guy has been leaving packages hidden by the side door but he's been out because of an injury. It took me couple of hours of video editing using freeware to put the youtube video together, with no previous experience in video editing. There is a close-up video of the thief from another camera/intercom located above the front door; but the editing software couldn't join it with the other video segments -- (probably because it is of different model/manufacturer from the other two)

    We were out of town when it happened. He took a box of medication for athlete's foot. I turned the matter over to the Police -- they were impressed with the videos. Three different video cameras caught him in action.

    I became a victim of theft today. My home security cameras showed the UPS leave a package on my front porch at around 3PM; about an hour later a juvenile grabbed the package and ran with it....

    There are hundreds of million voters. If you convict a few, it's insignificant. This is disinformation promulgated by the Republicans. Nobody in the right mind believes voter fraud is a significant problem.

    Replublicans have been resorting to desperate measures to try to win elections, but the people are getting wiser to their unfair tactics. They have further to fall in my opinion.

    I didn't mention proof. This is politics, not technics.

    I don't believe voter fraud by people not having a photo ID is a significant problem, although there have been few. Voter supression using photo id requirement is more of a problem. In 2011, more than 100 Democratic members of Congress urged the Department of Justice to oppose a legislation to impose restrictive photo ID requirements that has been prepared by the conservative organization ALEC , arguing that it "has the potential to block millions of eligible American voters, and thus suppress the right to vote."[10] [see Wikipedia under voter suppression] Personally, I don't have any problem with photo id requirement for voters as long as it doesn't block eligible voters. But in this political climate, it may not be possiible to impose this requirement in a fair manner.

    Have you been listening to the news? Where have you been? In the Afgan Mountains? That's what all the commotion is about wrt ids. Did you read my post above? "The premise is that the poor and the old are more likely to be Democrats and are more likely not to have an ID. So having an ID requirement to vote would be an advantage to Republicans in winning an election because more Democrates will be turned away than Republicans for not having an ID. "

    My impression is that this voter id issue is a Repulican move to unfairly exclude Dems from voting. It's not really about ids -- most people have ids.

    This issue is more about the Replublicans rigging an election than about IDs. I don't mind voters having ID cards as long as it's fair.

    Most voters have IDs. But there are citizens who are and have been voters with no valid picture ID. They are registered as voters, but don't drive, purchase assault weapons, or travel to places that require an ID. Some could be old folks in a small town that everybody knows.
