InBangkok Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 On 1/15/2022 at 12:23 PM, singalion said: We should not generalise on nationality. There is no such thing to say Serbs are often difficult people. In any nationality you may find "difficult" people. And who would judge a nationality from knowing one single person holding that nationality... Also judging someone as difficult might be a result of your own intolerance, issue to adapt, way of thinking, mindset or preconceived point of view. Steve should refrain from posting such objectionable and in my view inappropriate statements. @singalionis perfectly correct and @Steve5380 is being perfectly petty and ridiculous. To judge an entire nation by one's own experience of one, two or a handful of people is so childish. I have met more than a few Americans outside the USA whom I find boorish, intolerant and hardheaded and whom I totally dislike. On the other hand I have several dozen very good American friends both in and out of the country who are almost the total opposite. All but one of my work colleagues in the USA were also lovely people. Same is true to a lesser extent with Germans (but only because I do not know so many) and an even lesser extent for the same reason with Argentinians. In Thailand there was a huge influx of Russian tourists some years ago. Many were total boors and many were thoroughly disliked by Thais. On the other hand, I have visited Moscow 3 times and St. Petersburg twice. Without exception, my partner and I were treated with smiles and kindness by warm-hearted Russians. I do not judge a nation's population by a tiny number of bad apples. I suppose when you live on your own in virtually one room, your outlook on life becomes much more narrow and it becomes easier trash other peoples.

Not to judge any nationality by knowledge of only a few people. There are many prejudices out there. While it might be right at an European Film Festival in Singapore, Southern Europeans may mostly be the late comers to movies, I got various German or Swiss friends who are often outrageously late also to any events even on weekends. Germans or Swiss might invest more into their own infrastructure (houses) compared to other nations or do renovations more regularly, so there are certain characteristics eventually, but don't judge a nation by the knowledge of a small fraction of acquaintances. Living inside a certain country may change your opinion also or debunk certain prejudices. Throughout my life (in fact 80% outside my home country) I have encountered friendly people of a certain nationality as much as I have met rude people of same nationality. You got everything.... Djokovic could have been a Swedish super star tennis player and being anti vax. What is the deal? Don't point to his nationality. Worse was what the Serbian president made out of the visa saga... Australia not being a democracy etc. haha. I thought the Western media gave him too much media attention...

Imperfect but not more than you are. NOBODY relocates me, except myself if I want. And Serbia is not a country I would like to relocate. It has its charms, to be possibly enjoyed as a tourist, but it is not in the list of most desirable places to live. I don't have any personal reason to dislike Serbs, but they are strongly disliked by all their neighbors in this area of South East Europe close to the Baltic Peninsula, especially by the Croats, Bosnians. And you know the saying "if there is smoke, there is fire"... I will show that my opinion of Serbs is quite common. This, even being old news, is not out of the topic. It is still "foreign news", and it should be news for you and @singalion, so please pay attention: THE GOOD. Serbs have a good opinion of themselves, of being nice people, and this is good: https://www.serbia.com/about-serbia/serbian-people/ "If you were to select two words that best describe the Serbian people it would have to be temperamental and hospitable. Thanks to those qualities of your hosts, you will always have a great time in Serbia and feel like you’ve never even left home." HA HA... I will definitely not leave home for Serbia! At least they recognize they are "temperamental". 😄 https://onlineforlove.com/serbian-men/?vid=ufv9mFZ8VdZh5V5NWqadurSloFx&n=10wDm2lPZsFi&utm_term=ufv9mFZ8VdZh5V5NWqadurSloFx Integrity, Honesty, Loyalty... this describes perfectly well my friend Fedor!

I know perfectly well that life EXPECTANCY is what is to be expected for a person at birth, given that the mortality rates remain the same throughout the life of the person. I simply take advantage in the low value when I was born to feel good about my age today. In fact, I have exceeded the life expectancy in the US today, . Sure, I totally forgot: You don't err at BW or in general. Even if what you write contradicts your own posts or certain explanatory notes below graphics. How could I possibly forget this??? Just wonder why the institution that made the graphic placed that explanatory note when only the personal definition of life expectancy of Steve counts. How dare they?

Your cynicism shows like a flashing red light. 😝 If you look back at the explanatory note on the graph of life expectancy over the years you posted, you will find that it agrees perfectly with the way I defined it. And yes, some times I contradict myself. Especially when you compare my old post with new ones. This happens because I keep learning. How beautiful it is to witness how singalion and InBangkok think of themselves as perfect, and therefore come so easily after my imperfections! The note said "if the pattern of mortality staid the same as in the year of birth." Pattern, not mortarlity rate. That's different. Usually you are the one who would stick to words (aka solitude or loneliness) But knowing you, you will now argue pattern and rate is the same...

But since I don't have to eat I have more time to get things done. Well, do tell us what you things you will now have more time to do. In October 2020 you already told us how you spend much of your days - "I am so happy doing all this work! I enjoy doing my dishes while the mind is free to think. As a maid I give thanks for having all what I need. As a mechanic I maintain my cars with love and I am thankful for having the dexterity and know-how to repair anything that breaks in them. And as a cook: I enjoy going to the grocery stores twice a week and buy my food, in person (I could have it delivered), just what I like, then planning what to cook for the day and doing it with love, which gives good vibes to it, and then eating it with satisfaction that it is healthy and good tasting, since I cooked it." And we know that in your room you have your two pianos, your Herman Miller chair and your TV monitors where you are glued to youtube as you munch on your "snacks". More time for BW posts I suppose 😒 Or perhaps spending yet more tens of thousands of dollars on another hair transplant or face lift that you have recommended to all on this forum, young and not so young!

If I OBSERVE that both you and singalion act like you are perfect, this does not require that you or him have stated that you are perfect, although it gives suspicions that you think that you must be perfect. It is simply what one can observe from your writings. And me feeling that I am a role model and flexible does not state at all that I am perfect. We know that nobody is perfect, even role models and circus contortionists. 😄 But perhaps you and him OBSERVE that I act like I am perfect, and therefore comes all that envy and bashing...

You can never disguise your true colours, can you?. When you start to lose an argument, you always - ALWAYS - resort to name calling and other silly childish behaviour. And the most ridiculous part of it is that you do not seem to realise how stupid you appear to more genuine posters! A near octogenarian acting like a spoiled schoolboy! How pathetic! Why not act your age for a change? Let's recall what you have called me and others. And as usual, I quote YOUR ACTUAL WORDS. As for your memory, even you admitted that it was failing - Apr. 2019 "I am in my 70s, so my memory is fading rapidly." MEMORY FADING RAPIDLY! Then you trash other posters who do not agree with you - Jan. 2020 "More irrational scum" IRRATIONAL SCUM! Feb. 2020 "No wonder you envy so much a successful older man (i.e. @Steve5380) because neither successful nor old will you ever be." SO YOU REGARD YOURSELF AS SUCCESSFUL AND OLD! Sept. 2020 "Since you are mentally handicapped . . ." MENTALLY HANDICAPPED! Oct. 2020 "Your attempts to insult seniors here are as evil as they are stupid." EVIL! STUPID! Oct. 2020 "This is one more time you show what a trash bag you are." TRASHBAG! Apr. 2021 "That piece of shit deserves it." PIECE OF SHIT! And you clearly forgot another of your wise owl statements - July 2020 "It's so fortunate that i am flexible and not argumentative at all." What? NOT ARGUMENTATIVE? You really did say that? What a joke! Hahaha And let's remember that you don't really like Singapore. Sept. 2020 "For a tourist, once one visits the tourist traps, there is nothing left to do." WHEREAS MOST TOURISTS FIND A LOT TO DO IN SINGAPORE YOU FOUND NOTHING TO DO BUT SPEND YOUR TIME IN GAY SAUNAS, OBVIOUSLY! So given all the above posts, all of which YOU have made, and your obvious dislike of what Singapore has to offer other than gay saunas, what are you, a near octogenarian, doing posting in a forum populated for the most part by Singapore and Asian guys a great deal younger - and dispensing a lot of advice that is useless to tham. You would be a lot better contributing to a non-Singapore site much better suited to your understanding of that particular country or region.

I did not write anything onto that topic. There is no need to "lump'' me together into something when I had not commented on this post nor written anything in support/ non support of that post. I explicitly posted here that I am well aware that I am not perfect. Not sure why you need to go on. But as a matter of fairness, please react to InBangkok's post without pulling me into his posts. I don't stay in Bangkok, don't know InBangkok at all and I am independent. While on a note I would not object to lot of his posts. It seems quite accurate what InBangkok refers from your older posts or contradicting statements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may not have noticed it, but in your post here to me you mentioned InBangkok FOUR times, and he mentions you in his post to me too. Why aren't your comments to me independent of another person? Don't you realize that in the way you write you bring each other together like buddies, reaffirming each other usually to criticize me, like you are doing here?

I don't like THREESOMES, they are usually problematic. If you want to have a literary relationship with me, then keep it limited to the two of us. You can have a separate relationship with InBangkok, which I don't need to know anything about it. And why you keep writing here on things that have nothing to do with the topic of the thread, but instead convey your emotions about me? I should not be the topic here !!! You don't find anything intelligent to say about the topic of the thread, that is about longevity vs. aging, the theories of Sinclair, what to do and not do to extend lifetime, if eating frequently or seldom, if fasting or not fasting, etc. etc.? If you would do, then instead of this back-and-forth of accusations, you could even contribute to the topic. IMAGINE! So PLEASE, in the future keep your posts to me in any thread, related the topic of the thread. If you need to convey something personal, please use the PM feature. And please, leave the other guy out of your posts. This is exactly what I would ask him to do, to leave you out, but I don't find him to be rational. .

I cannot put words on his computer but I suspect he is a convert to the fact that all the youtube videos you post in this thread have nothing to do with younger Singaporeans and Asians (a question I have asked you more than once). They are quackery suitable for a near octogenarian westerner and not to hard working younger Asians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poster who should not be complaining is the only one about whom this thread refers - the only poster who is an old man of 78 years. You claimed on BW that you are a role model - your words ROLE MODEL - for younger readers. You consider trashing posters and calling them all sorts of childish names being a role model?

Bitching fits perfectly the third one, @InBangkok. He could be the Karen alto, shrill and cutting like a jealous bitch who hasn't received enough attention. Too bad that in his compulsion to destroy, he bad-mouths the recent important findings of scientists and doctors, all distinguished professionals who are respected in their field, and who unanimously praise the benefits of fasting. So, are you going to listen to a jealous bitch, or to serious medical experts? And don't care about me, I am just a nobody who is pleased to pass on information that helps me and can be really helpful to our fellow gays at BW.

And from the state of my health, I am confident that I will have at least 10 more years of good health. After that, if some fatal condition gets me, I will be satisfied of having lived a long and successful life. Of course, something unexpected can happen at any time, and I may have to move to my Catholic heaven earlier than anticipated. But there I plan to meet with my late boyfriend.

InBangkok Posted January 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 I express my gratitude to the Moderator for restoring my post showing other members the actual phrases used by @Steve5380, these from a 78 year old poster who claims in his own words to be a "role model". On 1/27/2022 at 1:59 PM, InBangkok said: Jan. 2020 "More irrational scum" IRRATIONAL SCUM! Feb. 2020 "No wonder you envy so much a successful older man (i.e. @Steve5380) because neither successful nor old will you ever be." SO YOU REGARD YOURSELF AS SUCCESSFUL AND OLD! Sept. 2020 "Since you are mentally handicapped . . ." MENTALLY HANDICAPPED! Oct. 2020 "Your attempts to insult seniors here are as evil as they are stupid." EVIL! STUPID! Oct. 2020 "This is one more time you show what a trash bag you are." TRASHBAG! Apr. 2021 "That piece of shit deserves it." PIECE OF SHIT! All this and a great deal more from a pensioner who does not actually like Singapore apart from his trips to visit gay saunas. No problem with the gay sauna part but from my many enjoyable visits Singapore has so much to offer everyone who visits, even regular visitors.

A poster who writes in many posts how perfect he is and how perfect his life is now tells us he is not perfect!! Yes, I know he has added a funny emoji face to the post, but his post is a good deal more serious than perhaps he realises! Why would you care whether he is perfect, imperfect, Godly, Saint or Demon? How is every single of your malevolent postings towards everything he said, joke or serious, pun or non-pun intended, makes you any special than him? One is a kettle, another is a pot, than came a pan all of which are black but verbally fought to see is much darker? What we see here is, all of you are just attention seeker. There is no trophy in BW forum to give away, probably free "holiday breaks" is the closest you can get. When a familiar member posted something, we knew exactly who will follow suit to counter, and than the swing starts by default and swinging non-stop. We all felt very dizzy looking at it, and it is no rocket science to figure who are the parties. Gosh!! Please spare all the readers here.

You would probably live till the age of 200 and nobody cares except Singalion or InBangkok, your two die-hard "Fans", to keep your life meaningfully engaged with them. They didn't know it was your trap to set them up to keep you fully occupied. Their faces turned Green or Red over every single fart you made and it was quite entertaining for your retirement years.

Well your point would be worth making if it was the truth. My posts have frequently quoted @Steve5380's own words made on BW threads. Why can his own words be regarded as malevolent? And I would like to know which the wordings of mine you regard as "malevolent". I am not special in the slightest. I only prefer to write the truth, the more so when a poster contradicts earlier postings or opens threads that are complete nonsense and not applicable to probably 98% of the BW readership (although i fully accept that is a guess based on the number of comments from other BW readers).

I already know the information I post, it is just that " I have read the book before you did", nothing else. I am not special, but I can recognize good information when I see it... and I try it. Like this info about fasting. I didn't just post it, but I tried it myself and found out that it works! My purpose was not to argue. I don't see much to argue about. But then came the two TENORS, and their singing didn't match what the BARITONE (me) was singing, so it all ended up in a cacophony, ha ha.

I have now even more respect for Zen monks. And yes, I am an attention seeker in my thread. I would like the information there to reach all of us who want to reach old age and not have to leave earth before that. And especially those who are giving up on a body they don't like, and / or a life they think will not offer anything good anymore. Hopefully the thread gets this attention!

Not a bad guy, but simply not competent to get in a fight of two others without getting deeply involved in it, and not resolving anything in the end. And... threesomes can be problematic.
