"Sometimes we give them money to buy snacks but he saved it up to buy mascara,"

LOL.

BTW, no pictures please.

After my children’s mom passed away I had to hire babysitters to help out

I worked through an agency called Cultural Care that brings foreign students to USA for a period of one to two years on a work-study program

I had 3 ‘aupairs’ for my children from Thailand and they were the nicest, gentlest, and hardest working young persons I have ever known. (by FAR)

And each of them used almost all of their pay to send home to help their mom and dad. I was so grateful I bought their parents gifts that I hope changed their lives (a tractor, in one instance)

We could learn a lot from Thai culture.

Can we send part of Congress there for treatment?

Y'know, this is all noble and good, but think about it- you put a boy with feminine traits in a society where's nothing but other guys, especially virile masculine guys, I don't think you're helping him. Sorta like making your effeminate son go out for football to "toughen him up"- being in large piles with other boys, taking showers together, slapping each other on the butt, THAT will make him into a heterosexual [/s]

For the record, if I ever questioned my son's masculinity, I'd immediately enroll him in ballet class, where there's NOTHING else but girls.

Agreed.

IMO Thailand is a libertarian, free country virtually without compare.

A couple of absolute no-nos: Don't insult the King, don't do drugs, and don't disrespect a buddhist statue. Other than that, it's an astoundingly free country.

Ballet class ? Yeah, we all know how well that worked out for Ron, Jr.

[James C. Bennett]

Don't mess with those Buddhist monks:

No drugs = no libertarians

And Gang-bangers here think that pitbulls are tough.....

Memo this to aspects of the libtard media that are blasting Bachmann and her clinic....

Yes well, maybe that is part of the reason the LP can't get to square one, with voters.

Not saying the WOD is a good thing, most evidence is it is an expensive, destructive failure. But it's way too central to what we see as libertarian.

I consider myself a small-l libertarian. A constitutionalist. Ironically in part, really something I learned to appreciate and cherish as an expat.

Now I'm here and realize more than I ever did, how exceptional and special America is.

However, we are not "free". We are surrounded by laws. Mandates. Regulations. Prohibitions. Meddlesome busibodies at every turn.

One thing which you might think is odd, that I really learned to appreciate is having to be careful. Careful when crossing the street, so as to avoid getting run over. Careful looking where to step, to avoid uneven cobblestone sidewalks and bizarre roads. Noisy, fume-belching oddball vehicles with three wheels. Elephants on the street.

Riding a motorcycle without a helmet, pretty much chaotically wherever there was a free bit of road.

Careful but FREE. We have allowed lawyers and liberals to transform America into a nurf nation.

That is the libertarian aspect, I was referring to. I wish we could begin to bring that sort of freedom back.

[Publius]

I seem to remember something similar in the movie “Gran Torino”.

[Jeff Vader]

I’d be careful around those tigers, that didn’t work out so well for seigfried and roy

[Tax-chick]

Colorful Asian animal kingdom weirdness.

[sportutegrl]

I guess helping gays go straight is only allowed by non Christian groups that are not associated with Bachmann.

[Rockingham]

The more pressing need is to arrange such treatment for Obama and his crew.
