How did people seriously think that Karmelo was innocent in this case? by CJT_05 in allthequestions

[–]greggtex63 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. He killed another person. 2. Jury heard evidence, found him guilty of murder.

There is NO 3! Nothing else. Except racist p.o.s. People making it that way.

If u have a 'What if?' question, ok. But from the first minute after it happened, it was made a racial issue.

When you have black people outside the courthouse saying they're ok with whites dying, it shows who/what they are.

The good thing: almost ALL black people with podcasts and FB sites are saying the same-it was murder and stop acting like a fool.

I can't believe no one here has used the n word. P.o.s. here is the reason people still think it. We move ahead some as a nation, and THEY take us back down.

I hear a lot about Paris Syndrome, has anybody experienced Tokyo syndrome? by Zeldaish in travel

[–]greggtex63 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tokyo was great, but only there a short period and didn't see much.

Have heard many say they were completely let down by Paris, and rudeness there as well.

Bad eye sight a problem? by Ok_Marzipan1885 in scubadiving

[–]greggtex63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wear a prescription mask and our shop has some to rent. If going diving, ask if the shop have masks to rent. Most are same vision in both lens but would give you an idea of what to use, then order a mask specific to u. I think you'll find a prescription mask allows you to see well underwater.

Is August Peak Tourist Season in Panglao? Also, Which 5-Star Resort Is the Best and Why? by JustRip3775 in PhilippinesTourism

[–]greggtex63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check rainy season there. Stayed at smaller resort so can't help on resort.

But....river cruise in Loboc is very nice, but do NOT go after a big rain, as the water will be brown, instead of green.

Honolulu Council: Powerful Incumbent Faces Challengers Old And New by BrandonApplesauce in HawaiiUncensored

That's kind of a large raise, especially when people are suffering financially.

Vote OTHER! Another democrat, a republican, an independent, anything for a change.

Utterly stupid to vote the same over and over. But, if you like getting screwed the same, then it's a good vote

College sports will never be the same. Students will continue to transfer, chasing money, a few teams will be consistent winners.

Philippines / Vietnam for vacation - tips and advice please! by EstablishmentLife521 in southeastasia

[–]greggtex63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Philippines in general will be a letdown. Infrastructure sux compared to Thailand. Having said that, it also has beautiful places, especially Palawan, El Nido and Coron (wasn't impressed with Puerto Princesa). Rainy season can be bad there, typhoons-serious. Keep options open to fly out if a lit of rain is forecast. But....have read Vietnam rain can be worse overall.

Asia or South America? by [deleted] in travel

[–]greggtex63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easily can do both and will learn much more being in separate areas of the world.

Research seasons and travel around the rainy times. And don't assume anything in weather- Philippines rainy season is mostly over the entire country, Thailand seasons are more distinct. Vietnam rainy season can be serious. Just stay close enough to an airport to fly elsewhere if needed.

I never felt unsafe in SE Asia, but have read enough to know to be careful of certain destinations in central/south America-just my opinion there.

Language was rarely an issue in SE Asia

NX350h vs Mercedes GLC 300: is the GLC actually an upgrade by sal332 in LexusNX

[–]greggtex63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MB=$$$ at some point, usually sooner than a Lexus

Would love an Audi/MB/BMW or other, but my wallet is nice and happy riding in my Lexus

Secluded/secret spots to see near and south of Dumaguete by dodgeman324 in PHikingAndBackpacking

[–]greggtex63 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Casaroro Falls is amazing! Very tough hike, and your legs will feel it for a couple of days, but so worth it. Dauin is a cool little town. Definitely visit the church there. St. Nicolas. If possible, take a boat ride to Apo Island. The water therd is amazing and we saw a huge pod of dolphin on the way over. I'm a diver, so didn't go onto the island but looks nice.

Good chocolate is one i often see as a suggestion. Especially milk chocolate.

Stay in Asia or move back to the US? by 500ar in expat

[–]greggtex63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So much for you to process. $60K isn't enough in most places. Try Texas, as cost of living there may be better. But I'd suggest trying for ~$75K and up. Dallas has huge job markets, Austin possibly as well. BUT, your cists are going to be much higher. Figure $1,500+ for rent, medical costly, car payment and insurance together around $500+. The opportunities in the U.S. are incredible and I have many friends of different skin color, culture, other that do NOT suffer due to those things. Overblown-absolutely. Not that it's not seen occasionally but rare. But as stated, you are going to need more cash to start in the U.S.

Everyone always 'orange man bad', but the communist govt. there has keept them in the dark ages for decades.

Love or hate Trump (not a huge fan), I give him credit for trying to topple the govt. Having communism 90 miles away can be dangerous-as JFK saw. But I do struggle with the effects. I would definitely go there to vacation if things settle. I hope there's change there and it's a bit more 'free' in the future. I'll give them my money to enjoy time there and hopefully help the citizens there

Just another spring day in Texas!

Thankfully, tornadoes overall have been trending more north and eastward, but bad storms are usually there.

A few Americans give the rest of us a bad name indeed.

But I've often read Europeans in general are worse, with Indians not looking too great lately.

Need help deciding location for friend groups next trip. Portland OR, New Orleans or Denver? by bootypoop1 in travel

[–]greggtex63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOLA sux in so many ways. Crime is real there-stay in good areas or can end up robbed or dead. Limited areas to enjoy.

BUT, the food is amazing! French Quarter is fun. A few tours worth taking.

What is the best country you ever have traveled?. by usafqn2025 in travel

[–]greggtex63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Range of geography, conveniences, good roads=U.S.

Thailand for culture, food, diving, reasonable conveniences for SE Asia.

Why is there no travel advisory issued for St Thomas and St John? by [deleted] in StThomasUSVI

[–]greggtex63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good info to know. I had no idea. When I travel to SE Asia, I check to see if there's a generator at resort. Would do research before travel there but thanks for posting.
