  1. I lived in Singapore for over twenty years, and I can assure you it is incredibly safe. However, it's also incredibly expensive. My rather cramped two bedroom apartment now costs $4,500 - $5, 000 a month, which is not good value IMHO. There are limited options to bring down your cost of living if necessary, but that generally requires you to share space with others or look for a cheaper HDB apartment which normally doesn't offer all the luxuries of condos. Even then, the prices for HDB apartments would likely be 2/3 of the regular condo market, so you'll need deep pockets to sustain a decent life there.
  2. When you visit other countries, it is always best to keep your piehole shut so as to ensure that people only guess you're idiotic rather than proving it so clearly.
  3. Perhaps some of you saw the clip of dRumph talking on AirForce 1 on his way back to Washington from Florida....when asked who was going to be in charge of Venezuela, he looked behind him at Little Marco and a few other sycophants, and said "these guys standing behind me". By the surprised look on their faces, it was obvious that dRumph was making stuff up on the spot. Forget about running a country....dRumph couldn't even run a casino!
  4. Nobody seems to care that Trump has committed an international war crime on more than one occasion, not to mention the fact that he doesn't respect the requirements of the US constitution, which forbids acts of war without just cause. For you Trump supporters, please note that another nation possessing a lot of oil is NOT just cause. Trump is CLEARLY insane, and needs to be removed from office for the sake of the planet...he's apparently hell bent on recreating the scenario set out in Orwell's 1984, and that's bad craziness.
  5. I live near the White temple and know how much local vendors depend on a steady flow of tourists visiting the place. If they do anything, such as raise prices, there is going to be a knock on effect in terms of how much food, drink, or souvenirs create revenue for the local population. So, as some others have suggested, its akin to shooting yourself in the foot - much better to just charge everyone a token fee of 50 baht or thereabouts...
  6. This contribution is so absurd, I wonder if it's just a big wind up. You really need to turn off Fox news and get outside, as you have fallen under the spell of the world's greatest con man.
  7. I'm afraid you have two rather large mistakes here: the ad was running on EVERY US TV market, including Fox news. If it wasn't do you think Trump would have even bothered to respond? Secondly, the Ontario premier showed the ad to both Carney and his minders...twice. They had no issue with it at all. I suggest you look for better sources of information, as your contentions are totally incorrect.
  8. It hopes to educate US voters, predominantly from red states, that the demigod of the Repugnant party, Ronnie Raygun, was not a big supporter of tariffs, as they don't help in many situations, such as the one that both countries are currently facing. Hopefully, some voters will realize that Trump is destroying the US economy and alienating their former ally and trading partner.
  9. Must they have a tiny mustache and long painted nails to meet standards?
  10. I wonder if Old Pete will manage to remain sober at the meeting?
  11. I was seventeen for most of 1975, in Grade 13 in Ontario, Canada. As it was the final year before entering university, it was important to get good grades, as acceptance was based on your marks in six grade 13 subjects. Feeling rather confident (arrogant) about my academic abilities, I decided it was a good year to go skiing, so I skipped weeks and weeks of school (with my parent's blessing if my marks were ok) as I had a season's pass to a nearby ski hill. I had four friends of similar mind, so we rotated going to school with a cassette tape recorder - the tape would then be copied on a "double deck" four times, and distributed to each member of our group. Interestingly, listening to my classes alone in my room proved to be a better strategy than attending classes and getting distracted by all the pretty girls. Somehow, we all managed to gain acceptance to university, and I went skiing 63 times that winter, which was a good deal considering that I had paid a grand total of $50 for my season's pass.
  12. I give up...you are unable to see the forest for the trees. Enjoy your freedoms while you can, for they will soon disappear unless you swear allegiance to your new King, who is a 34x convicted felon, an adjudicated sex offender, a compulsive liar and the stupidest person to ever hold the office of President of the USA>
  13. Ok, so it seems you are ok with people who don't share the "new King's" opinions to be silenced from all media. What then happens if people like Kimmel and Colbert create their own channel on the internet....will they be then free to offer their unvarnished opinions, or will they still be subject to the authoritarian tactics employed by the GOP?
