General Info

My American friend of 50 years from the same small city as me has overstayed his visa. Fortunately the dumb ass extended his ticket and he's due to leave a week from tomorrow. He paid for the day visa extension in USA but will be overstaying for 29-30 days depending on how one calculates. In any event, he's broke, sleeping in my guest room and needs my help to get properly processed out by Immigration. I know the ACR fee and other attendant fees have to be paid and I'm going to have to front that money. What kind of penalty must be paid?

Fine for Overstaying – (additional) Php 500. 00 per month.

Motion for Reconsideration for Overstaying – (additional) Php 500. 00

I recommend taking care of this at an immigration office rather than the airport.

They run a test to determine strength of the original and that 10 years after the initial series of shots, that I needed a set of booster shots to increase immunity levels to full strength. Seems from the comments in the attached quote this is quite common. Life inst always for life.

A few months ago after I got back from a trip, I was chatting with a girl whom I have spent 3 nights with. She had been pretty sick and finally went to see the doctor. I thought she have serious case of the flu. Came back she had Hep B. Scared the crap out of me. Then I remembered I had the vaccine shots 6 years ago. So I will get tested to determine the strength of the original series. Researching online Hep B is pretty common and contagious in Philippines.

[QUOTE=Socker; 1547072]I THINK NOTTT!

When I saw your first post about bbing 300 (?) or whatever number w / out a single STD I thought,"Man this guy doesn't get it". The reason the pussy market is clean is because of fear and the unknown. When you have guys (here / you) on the "top of the mountain" screaming I can do it 300 times and I have no problem w / STDs. What in the world do you think that statement says?

With my high school education I will tell you.

It is a green light for every monger from India, Pakistan, Russia, America, etc to come to the PI and shove their bare dicks in the pussy you have been safely enjoying...[/QUOTE]To be honest I think you are a little bit naive here. Many mongers from India, Pakistan, Russia, America, etc are barebacking Filipinas for many years already. Simply because it has never been a secret that most Filipinas don't mind.

My post says lets leave the status quo as it is, shut up.

If all the guys that bb bragged about it and how safe it is to do.

Then a lot of the guys who cover up (now) would stop using condoms.

This is my logic after a fair amount of living. What does your logic tell you?

I'm naive?

[QUOTE=Red Kilt;1546041]I personally know several girls who have had their uteruses removed because of particularly nasty STDS contracted from bare-back warriors.[/QUOTE]That's really sad man. Allot of times that kind of thing starts with the HPV. I don't recall the numbers without looking it up, but a large percentage of females will get it at some point in their life. It don't even have to be from sex. It terrifies the girl at the thought of a pre-cancer growing. In the States the first step is just watch and wait. Get a pap every 6 months. My chick had it once but she just went on a pretty heavy antioxidant program. It went away fast and never came back. But of course that kind of thing is not available to the average Pinay in a country where no one has ever heard of quercetin, and a single vitamin C tablet is 6 pesos. Same goes for protecting ones self from the start, the stronger your immune system is to begin with, the more likely you can be exposed but never contract. Just like everyone at work may get the flu except you if you're more healthy.

[QUOTE=Hutsori;1547133]<< SNIP During this go of nearly 18 months I've been hit by more flus than ever, and doctors here often prescribe antibiotics, which have no effect whatsoever against a virus other than to further improve the resistance of bacteria.

Your initial vaccine may not have resulted in you being immune. Many people get vaccinated for Hep B, but don't get tested to see if it resulted in them being immune. When I got vaccinated for Hep B, my employer paid for it and also paid for me to be tested to see if it resulted in me being immune. I also know that it may not last forever even though they say it should.

After that I had no reason to test it again till recently, which was 10 years later. When it basically showed there was reduced immunity.

We did some research and it was a huge figure, something like 30-40% of ladies will have it at some time. There are many strains but only two are pre-cancerous, strains number 16 and 17, or something similar. Seems that millions of us men carry this virus with us, displaying no symptons or anything that relates to it.

Even if hundreds of guys are going to "brag" here that it's safe to do then this won't change the mind of the guys that use condoms. Simply because they are afraid and really convinced that condoms are a must.

I know you're wrong and one day there will be hell to pay for this kind of casual boasting on sites like ISG. I also know (from your response here) it is especially important TO YOU to spread this great knowledge you have about the safety of bbing. However I think your logic is flawed and you have a flawed view of human nature too.

On this issue 99% of the guys (who do it) know what can happen if a breakout occurs, that's why few boast about their success rates. What's to gain from boasting??? Nothing!

A couple of guys were clueless and maybe now understand there is NOTHING TO GAIN by spouting off your great stats on bbing.

Mogwai, you have gained nothing w / your POV, you only cause more concern. For me this discussion is over.

What we've got here is failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach.

[QUOTE=Socker;1547944]What we've got here is failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach.[/QUOTE]Indeed, that's exactly the point.

Interesting piece on unemployment. See the last paragraph for what will likely be the main reasons that a committee will say are the overwhelming causes. Nothing to do with inability to create jobs. Lack of investment etc.

I just found this amusing as I thought I could answer the question on a post, others may have a different view of course.
