  1. Thanks for the recommendation. The book is from 1998, the year I first came to Thailand, but I'm sure most of its content still applies. Very little seems to have changed in the intervening 25 years.
  2. If you know anything about golf you'll know LIV is entertainment, not sport.
  3. Tech behemoths and moral responsibility. An oxymoron if ever I heard one.
  4. The UN has no power to change the laws of a member country. It can't even fulfill it's principal mandate which is to prevent wars.
  5. They couldn't know, although the article suggests the allied governments knew the risk and were prepared to sacrifice those men to the war effort.
  6. There were many instances of POW transports, known as hellships, being sunk by allied forces. The ships were not marked as carrying prisoners, no red crosses or other identification so were considered legitimate targets. https://www.warhistoryonline.com/instant-articles/allies-killed-20000-countrymen-sank-japanese-hell-ships-transported-m.html?chrome=1
  7. As the OP said, it's all over her passport. Do you think they're not going to notice?
  8. Ahh.....they're not 'experts' then. The Federal Reserve allegedly employs 400 PhDs. It hasn't prevented them from ph..........g up the US economy.
  9. You'd think even a simple so-called journalist would be able to use Google.
  10. "As the only Southeast Asian actress in a worldwide blockbuster movie" Who writes this c**p? Michelle Yeoh just won an Oscar!
  11. What utter BS. They feel the need to tell us there's a severe risk of terrorist attacks, but it's ok, don't be alarmed. When are we supposed to get alarmed.........when the bombs start going off?
  12. Bringing 'democracy' to places like Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan. Mission accomplished (not), but hey, it's only a few trillion $ wasted.
  13. Cheap it ain't, but the OP asked for quality and, like most things in life, you get what you pay for.
  14. Big C Extra has a nice range but are there other options in town? Not sure which town you're talking about, but this is the best butcher in Bangkok. Everything top quality. https://www.theaccidentalbutcher.com/
  15. These neocon warmongers never saw a war they didn't like. Got to keep those MIC factories turning once they abandon Ukraine (which they undoubtedly will).
  16. They'll never tell us (just like Nordstream).
  17. This is about revenge and punishment from the EU for the UK daring to choose to leave the fold. Even if it means reducing their own trade with the UK. Pour encourager les autres.
  18. It's not an invasion, it's a special tourist operation.
  19. You are either exceedingly naive or trolling.
  20. Meanings do not change. Actress still means a female actor. What I object to is the coercion by the woke thought police to prevent anyone using this word. That only 'just happens' if the sheeple allow it to.
  21. Absolutely. When words have a specific meaning which everyone understands and they're changed for the sake of political correctness.
