I'm not trying to hide anything.  Here's my forecast:  Before 2075, large swathes of Europe (including the UK) will be under some form of Sharia law.  And between now and then, there will be a lot of riots and stabbings and grooming.  Eastern Europe will largely be spared because they're not apologists- they don't wallow in colonial guilt.

What isn’t? 
If it was a registered marriage and the father in the birth certificate then he has to pay under thai law.

 

No marriage registration, no name on birth certificate = no obligation to pay.

 

It is why parents of boys will often instruct their boys who got the village bike pregnant to get rid of her. 

Again not the norm in Thailand,houses and assets are usually divided but child support is not negotiated.

I am sure it does happen when the people involved have some money but in a lot of cases the man simply walks away.

I have seen this happen many times.

They do if the mother was married to the father.

 

But for girls that get themselves pregnant out of wedlock then they are solely responsible for that child. 
It is to stop gold diggers I suppose. 
 

Remember what happened to Boris Becker.

That is not the norm in Thailand at all!

I do not want to make any such forecasts.

I know in my home country young Muslims are not going to the mosque any more in the numbers they did before.

It is the same  with most religions.

Since you think you have a good future vision can you tell me how many more school kids will be shot by idiots in the US?

Lets say between now and 2160.

You say that now, but those AR15s are going to come in handy when the Zombies try to take over.  Or it may not be the Zombies, but I don't want to be called a racist or a phobe...  The Europeans with their fancy gun laws are just going to roll over when their newcomers revolt.

Ok, i sense a little racism here but you are trying to hide it!

So it is the new comers that are a threat now?

So when your dear leader deports them all(will be done in a few more weeks for sure) you are saying there will me no more need for citizens to have assault rifles?

Kind of stirring in the mud here?

How many new comers in Europe have mass murdered school children ?

I will bet you my next paycheck it is a hell of a lot less than your law abiding US citizens!

I can't even imagine this nightmare.   I do think it's good to get a wake-up call on how bad things can get.   Every few years I'll watch something like this.  Unlucky?  Yes.  I have one good Thai friend who is a policeman, but I don't think he could help me in Thai prison.  Maybe if it was in his province.  I know maybe two other policemen who would take my phone call; however, they aren't going to risk losing face over me.  I understand that reality.   I have connections at the State Department, but I don't think they would do anything special for me if I get locked up.   I'm guessing the prisons will try to drain your bank account and everyone's bank account that you know.  I've heard stories that you can pay around 50,000 baht and get someone arrested, maybe worse.   American prisons are also terrible, I'm sure, but this is next level.   This likely isn't the worst.   Maybe not even close.  I'm not going to Central America to find worse.    You drink a few beers, things get out of control, and it's over........

I have.  And I haven’t found a country yet that needs anything Thailand is selling that they can’t buy elsewhere….for less.

80% of the worlds hard drives are made in Thailand and they are losing some sales because of SSD but the market is still very large. around 250 million hard drives each year to the USA .

Don't defend these fake teachers in Thailand.

Drinkers.

Getting in fights.

Last month there was a story of a kid drinking and driving.  another fake teacher.  

They are super creepy people.

Some without degrees

Many broke

Almost all have no clue about how to teach.

 

Back in 2015 when a fake teacher told me he liked them young, paid to get them young, drank, loved to drink and drive, got high, and about 10 of his fake "teachers" all seemed at home......well, that was enough for me.   

 

Anyone can do that fake job.   

 

This is just one more example of the morals these clowns have.  

 

It just feels dirty thinking about those scum.  

 

I will troll them and their fanboys and defenders forever.   

Monks are a lot better right?

There is an alternative view. The consumer does not buy the now more expensive imported goods but buys locally produced goods.

 

The real pain is felt by the exporting countries who effectively see their exports plummet. They feel the pain big time.

Do you believe locally produced goods are cheaper?

The answer is no,that is the biggest reason people buy from outside the country.

It is the US population who will have to pay more but for some reason MAGA refuses to understand this.

Well maybe they just can't understand it.

Freedom of speech, freedom to vote in officials that actually stay in. Freedom to stay in the country without taking any measures that could someday change for the worse. Freedom to oust officials that aren't doing their jobs or holding those accountable who break the laws, at least most of the time.

good luck with that.

Yes,for sure.

You live in Florida, which has great beaches, insurance, seafood, fishing, people your age to talk to, and ladies that are younger that would surely love to find a decent man to marry. You could move your daughter here to Florida for a better life. Married people, especially if they have a good partner, are lucky. Moving here, not near family in Illinois, language barrier, no freedom like the US, women if you want one will cost you, If you're bored there, you will be more bored here.

no freedom like the US,what do you mean by that?

Lots of anecdotal information. No smoking gun.

You are aware there are half dozen Dems still denying the trump win to this day right?

 

2020 with Bidens 81M votes was rigged.

 

*I'm not MAGA and only ephemeral Trump supporter

Please come with proof that that election was rigged?

Trump will be forever thankful to you,you will probably be the next vice president!

I guess I'm not surprised sooo many people on this site have no idea that a monk is even a thing.  But I'm a monk.

 

In Buddhism, monks and nuns are expected to practice celibacy as part of their monastic vows. This involves abstaining from all sexual activity, which is seen as a way to free the mind from distractions and focus on spiritual practice. Celibacy is a key aspect of monastic discipline, distinguishing the monastic life from that of a householder. 

 

 

Became a monk when I was four.  

 

And then I am attacked??????????????????????????????

 

You are all banned from visiting temples in Thailand.

You are not a monk!

Some 35 years ago i called in on a friend and his wife and while sitting in the lounge room talking, they had a famous operatic pieces playing in the background.  I was not taking any notice of the music until a particular piece started playing and i was transfixed with the beauty of the music and the voices.   The piece was the famous Male Duet from the "Pearl Fishers".    I had never heard it before but by the end of the duet i unashamedly had tears running down my cheeks from the sheer beauty of that piece.   I went out the next day and bought it and still love it to this day.

Strangely enough although i don't dislike opera, i have never been an operatic fan.

Do you like this?
