Rants and WTF are you talking about and Coronavirus!

[Sirioja]

I remember on September 2018 at LR when I needed 11 months to find a new interesting beauty for me, but when she threw me her towel in face, when I went and asked to sit with her, when I took only her hand and look at her feet nails, when she was a bit crazy around the bar and lounge, but what a changing behavior after 2 minutes sitting with her, and what a good surprise after. After 4 times really enjoying her becoming woman behavior, I told her I couldn't come on next Thursday evening, when we finished enjoyable weekly room after pizzas and she prepared me a sandwich when no more pizzas. One here told me he would prefer my sandwich than pizzas, when I would have preferred pizzas even she was really lovely, but I preferred to enjoy this natural beauty rather than pizzas. I sent her I could come after Zoncolan. She asked me where was Zocolan? I told her nearly on Slovenian border, in Frioul, nearly 1000 kms away from LR, but I could drive after Zoncolan through mountains, Austria, Bavaria, to her. If he doesn't know what is Zoncolan, but when Italians see you arriving on top from Ovaro, the most difficult side, then you are a heroe for Italians, when I climbed more than 5 times since I discovered driving a BMW Xdrive and thought more than 200 CV could not climb, but after Federico Bahamontes. SP picture, when body and head full burning, then you don't feel anymore pain, and as long I will be able to climb, or Mortirolo, then I know I don't need vaccine nor viagra to fuck more than in 20's guys as say girls, but this one here knew very well how to show my writings here to good surprise. Very different behavior as say girls.

The guy is an obvious nutter with his talk of white nations. India, just to his north, has the world's third highest number of Covid fatalities (Brazil is in second place).

Per capita cases versus raw case numbers. Duh.

Half the (documented) cases in India with 4 times the population of USA.

Only four times the (documented) cases in India with 20 times the population of France.

He could have made all of those points without being so polarizing. Regardless of the valid facts he pointed out, the blog only enflames the venomous thoughts of people who think like Gino and Shoo.

He manifest everything what's wrong with the world and in particularly the internet and social media.

The dude is completely clueless, unintelligent, uneducated, irrelevant and best left to rot away writing BS for obscure sites that simply cannot get enough of race baiting. Or maybe he's just getting paid by the CCP.

You obviously have cognitive problems in addition to the others. Know what that means?

Well that seems unnecessary. Alzheimer's setting in already?

[Turgid]

Not even sure what that's supposed to mean. But okay.

Well, more reasons they should have been banned even earlier, going forward maybe forever because those countries keep producing new deadly virus every decade! Go one decade without producing another deadly pathogen, then the ban would be relaxed.

The strain of CV19 that entered the USA did not come directly from China but via Western Europe. To implement the travel ban you are speaking of, a hundred plus countries would need to collectively sign off and ban East Asians from entering. This would effectively establish two travel corridors. Every country in the world would be forced to pick a side or decide which travel corridor they want to belong to. If India chooses to allow Chinese to enter India (or Indians to travel to China), then no Indians would be allowed to enter USA or Western Europe. And nobody from USA or Western Europe would be allowed to enter India.

The problem is there are millions of non-Asians living, studying, and working in East Asia. And there are millions of East-Asians living, studying, and working in Europe. Would these people be banned from visiting family in their home countries? Or would they be forced to enter a 30-day quarantine at both ends of travel?

I could imagine Westerners, even the ones with no social, business, or romantic connections to East Asia protesting about the loss of their individual rights and freedom of movement. "If I want to travel to China and risk being infected by some yet to be discovered pathogen, I should be allowed to do so!" And the sexpats in the Thai forums would definitely align with that cause.

Good advice maybe for a 16 year old or maybe even a 26 year old but not for a 66 year old who has travelled the length and breadth of the US for many decades and all over Europe, from Canada to Argentina, throughout the Caribbean and all over Asia while sampling cuisines from all over the world for over fifty years.

Just making generalized observations, not all were directed towards you. I commend you for at least trying local cuisine. Almost 60 percent of American tourists avoid locals cuisines when travelling abroad: https://www.travelpulse.com/news/fea...-vacation.html.

Prior to the 1920's, most Anglo-Americans limited or avoided their exposure to Italian food due to bias. Anglo-Americans of the time considered Italian food too "garlicky and spicy". As a result, the mainstream acceptance of what is arguably America's favourite ethnic (albeit Americanized) cuisine was delayed by decades, and a generation of Americans missed out. In 1945, "pizza" was not widely known in the USA outside of the cities with large Italian enclaves: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/c...-as-apple-pie/.

In an earlier post, I stated that baby-boomer Chinese tourists were biased toward Western food. I would say the opposite is true as well: there are a fair amount of Westerners born prior to the 1980's who have a distaste or bias against non-Western cuisine. At the same time, some of the most celebrated chefs from white Western countries list Asian food and restaurants among their favourites. Are these chefs just ahead of their time? https://www.vogue.com/article/worlds...te-food-cities.

I would argue that "sampling" the full spectrum of a nation's cuisine would require hundreds of sit-down meals. If sampling Thai cuisine means trying 10 dishes at 5-6 restaurants on your first trip to Bangkok in 1975 and then refusing to eat Thai food on all subsequent trips since, I would say that is not sufficient. Now if one gets a Thai GF or over time has many meals with Thai colleagues and friends, then real culinary sampling happens. These social situations force you to not only try a larger variety of dishes, but also to try the same dish multiple times by multiple chefs. At the very least a foreigner can find one or two "safe" dishes from that cuisine that they consistently order. I used 1975 as a hypothetical year here, but my guess is the 1975 Bangkok food scene is different from that of 1995 or 2020.

Go one decade without producing another deadly pathogen, then the ban would be relaxed. I know it's a draconian drastic stance, but that's exactly what now we are doing to ourselves for their repeat offences / mistakes anyway!

We must be smart and forward looking, not chasing our tails after the shit happens.

Next thing you know, we'll be throwing babies off of cliffs.

"This is Sparrta!

That's inner voice that tells you to do evil things, you should address that problem.

It is said that hindsight is 20 20, for good reason. Back in January, 2020 news came out of a new coronavirus from which one man in China died. At the time did you think that all Asians should be banned from travelling? The news was so innocuous that I booked my trip to Germany for 3 months. I travelled in the middle of January but had to beat a hasty retreat in the middle of March. In any event it is said that covid 19 was already in Europe way back in October, 2019.

You apparently have some regrets seeing that the only person you know on ISG is yourself. Merry Christmas to one and all.

Not even sure what that's supposed to mean. But okay.

Number of years lived does not equate to quality of years lived.

Merry Christmas to everyone.
