Woman dies in Nakhon Phanom crash while rushing to sick child
cardinalblue replied to snoop1130's topic in Isaan News
Sorry situation all the way around….the assumption is she is rushing to the hospital at speed? Assumption or fact? If she broadside the stationary truck, then the truck was parked on the road perpendicular to the direction she was traveling? Was that an appropriate place to temporarily park if obstructing thru traffic? -

Denver's nut job mayor to head the resistance.
cardinalblue replied to Cryingdick's topic in Political Soapbox
Here is the problem I have with your post…like your resume, you inflate your statements…your “many illegals” equate to 5% of illegals have committed crime compared to adjusted data which is only half when compared to US citizens committing crimes US current deportation focus is to deport all illegals who commit crimes…why you say? Because that is all the money that has been budgeted…if you want more, then increase the budget drum roll to a practical number… trump makes this incredible stupid statements that’ all illegals immigrants will be imported…at what cost? Do the math that is over a trillion dollars if they deported a million a year over eleven years…who is picking up theses costs…taxpayers…trump’s history is he is the 3rd most president to increase the deficit…he is part of the problem like Biden…both presidents have continued to add to inflation/cost of living going up over the last 8 years there are illegal grandmothers who have been in the country 20years…what’s the point of deporting them? The biggest issue is the illegal workforce that contributes mightily to the US surging economy…they serve a useful purpose…it’s not like they are taking desirable jobs away from citizens? If you want to clean up an area…clean up an area try work comp…the fraud by US citizens to get disability insurance (meaning not work b/c they don’t want to work) is off the charts…get those people back to work rather than paying then not to work don't fall for this “ throw out the baby with the bath water” syndrome… trump’s 4 years of immigrant policy and deportation already has been unimpressive…”judge them by what they do and not what they say”…one needs to comprehend that statement clearly….tell me again who paid for the existing 300 mile museum of a wall? What a waste of taxpayers money by someone who talks in generalities yet accomplishes very little -

Trump spouted this this gloom and doom BS his first term and he ended up deporting far less than Obama and Biden did... Everyone is for deporting criminals whether crimes in their homeland or in USA...But start there....If you look at the numbers, that is the focus of who is deported concurrently...They could do a better job If you look at crime stats, US citizens for serious violent crimes commit twice that of illegals when data is adjusted and 4X that of illegals for property crimes...Americans need to look in the mirror and asked what is wrong with their culture? I vote to deport all criminals American citizens or not back to their ancestry country...don't use illegals as an excuse for a far greater cultural problem in USA....You don't deport 100% if only 5-10% is the problem...focus on the problem...that is what the Denver mayor is saying... -

Boy 7 killed by Thai mother rocks quiet Welsh town
cardinalblue replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I doubt either parent came from a quality family background or genes and their poor children would suffer…who is in a worst state the living child or the dead child? what does the future bring for the 2nd child? No relative or friends stepped to the plate when it mattered the most? I hate it when I hear abuse or mental illness as the excuse for bad behavior…both parents would get the chair…they are lucky I am not running the show -

Many Americans here are non college educated folks who grew up and worked in a blue working class society…they get by on their pensions and social security…not much more trump appeals to them b/c he is a brilliant salesman selling them on America is going to pot, gloom and doom,, traditional Christian family values are under attack, whites man needs to re-take their superior place in the pecking order… it’s understandable why he is popular in USA as truth, integrity and core values are not important to them….his voters and supporters speak the same language ( locker room and shop talk - “ grabbing by the P•••••y - is how the feel…look at his inner circle over time (Jeffery Epstein called him his best friend) and now….his picks for his cabinet are borderline shady characters or just unqualified for the job…loyalty is the only job criteria and his base loves it America went thru this in 1920s and 30s with America First movement (leading to WW2) and the McCarthyism era in the 50s…. All three periods have a common theme of paranoia and the feeling of being threatened or under attack

Lax Law Enforcement Cited for Alarming Road Fatalities in Thailand
cardinalblue replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
You are comparing apples and oranges and cherry picking one particular bad example to a culture that goes completely unregulated and unenforced on their roads..Targeted and practical enforcement needs to start. You can also throw in an improved road infrastructure like eliminating face to face u-turns and putting smart signals instead of u turns on heavy volume road with speed limits of 90 Km...craziness.....Thai road infrastructure today mirrors the 1950's...It has nothing to do with being a nanny state but rather Thai authorities don't want to spend/invest the money necessary to reduce accidents/near accidents. -
Lax Law Enforcement Cited for Alarming Road Fatalities in Thailand
cardinalblue replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I try to stay away from saying Thai drivers this or that but I have been driving in Thailand over 20 years. I can say that I put poor drivers in the 20-25% of all drivers on the roads. Don't know if Thai or foreigner but I observe daily road violations from minor to major to poor judgement errors...Never have seen enforcement proactively to concurrently happening...So the drivers go unpunished thus will continue these illegal/poor decisions in their future behaviours.. What Thai police need to do is make a list of top ten most dangerous driving behaviours and enforce..Can be done but the lack of will, lack of police training and providing the necessary resources to accomplish the mission. The culture refuses to accept how bad driving behaviours are in this country....That is the first step
