So let’s see if I understand you correctly. You abhor banality?
But you post here everyday? On a board that deals mainly with cheap Thai prostitutes, or where to get 110 baht fried English breakfast? Only the other day someone even posted how to cook it...complete with a picture!
So just how do you satisfy your lust for far reaching, creative,intelligent conversation here?
And please don’t bring up my will again!

We lead different lifestyles. In my lifestyle, being able to converse in Thai is absolutely necessary. Else there would be huge delays (finding an English-speaking Thai to translate) and aggravation for me. Nowadays, most of the boys I have sex with don't speak English.

Based on your blog we'd have to assume that's the "Cheap Charlie" lifestyle
Re: Learning the local language and an "intellectual debate"
I would categorise it as a sensible and scientifically frugal lifestyle.

actually based on his blog I would say it is more like "most of the boys I EVENTUALLY GET TO have sex with don't speak English"
the English language app/msg chats he has always seem to be such a waste a time and never lead anywhere - though I don't know that the Thai language chats are that much more productive based on the monthly activity summaries!

I regard it as tales of epic failure
Re: Learning the local language and an "intellectual debate"
I don't get it frequent, don't you enjoy learning about other people, their background, their aspirations, what makes them tick, etc.?
Over the last few months, I've gotten to know all about Kong, and I enjoy getting to know people like that and learning from their personal experiences. I know all about his family, childhood, ambitions, likes / dislikes, what makes him happy and sad, about his boyfriend, etc. Doesn't that type of thing interest you, or are you just happy being as big of a narccasist (sp) as Trump?
