<br>Oh, my god, the traffic in Bangkok is wild. Tuk-tuks are everywhere. They're cheaper than taxis and because they're small, they go where cars can't, like in between lanes of traffic. And scooters are everywhere, too, weaving in and out of traffic and around the many potholes. It's total chaos. And fun as hell.

KYYX, funny story! [:D]

Thanks.
And yes, traffic in cities like that is amazing for sure. Lots of little cars/carts/animals weaving in and out of traffic. In Cairo, the gov't was actually successful in banning camels off the streets, but there are still many. It's hilarious what you see in other cities!

Had my first fender bender on the Belt. It was pouring rain. A good 6 inches of water on the Belt. Guy in front of me stops short. My brakes were pretty much gone. I "tapped" him. Was'nt too bad though. Turned out I was the last one in a whole line of rear enders.

<p align="justify">Smokers? Fuck 'em. They throw the butts of cigs off their cars. During fire season, this is a really bad combo. So, fuck smokers and their filthy habit[}:)]

I didn't know there was a Bangor in America, the only one I've heard of til today is the one in Ireland! But alot of American palces and over this part of the world have the same names, Boston, York etc. As for people smoking with kids in cars, I guess keep the window open and use an ashtray. I don't like it when people smoke over little kids or lock dogs in the car on hot summer days, now THAT should get them a fine as it can kill a dog! My Dad smoked but he always kept the window open, people dont' seem to do that now for some reason which is why they bring in laws like this I think. The only reson the governments don't ban cigarettes is because a)they lose alot of income from them b)they don't want peoeple gettign them illegally, ditto for alcohol they tried that and it didn't work. I think the best way to give up any bad habit is to realise for yourself the harm it does/the cost. Fines won't stop the hardened smokers, ehy'll keep on til they die from it I reckon.

I do NOT think somkingcan be put up there with incest,rape, beating and empotional abuse though, unless of course the parent burns the kids with them or smokeson them as a torture method, I really don't. I've helped people who have been abused as kids and have had emotional abuse myself and would dream of that beign their only problem. Yeha smokign is a nasty habit and not good for anybody but not in the same league as ruining a child's mind for life...[xx(][:(]
