Not in Thailand...

Very nice, very professional!

Greedy bastard...! I know you can't help it...it's in your DNA.

'dinsdale'...that's 2 out of 2. Care to try for 3 out of 3...?

Again, says 'dinsdale...who himself comes from a wealthy, powerful, and greedy country.

Says 'dinsdale' who himself comes from a wealthy, powerful, and greedy country...

Yeah...just like I said...'natural selection'. How's about...'survival of the fittest'... "Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone..." Evolution makes no mistakes.

Actually, I have no problem with inequality. Some people choose to, and some people don't. The degree of 'apathy' ingrained into Thai culture is accepted by almost everyone. 'Rice in the field...fish in the stream'. It's no accident that the top 50 wealthiest families (are Chinese who immigrated to Thailand) have all the money. Thailand left the barn door open. I think this is called...'natural selection', and it happens in every specie. There are several very famous publications from the 1930's with titles such as ..."Bangkok - The Chinese Problem". They knew it was happening, but they did not know what to do about it. And after 1949, with the accent of King Rama IX...who was half Chinese... However, truth be told, Thailand is so very insignificant compared to what is coming for the UK, Europe, and the US.

Near as I can tell...we all descended from the trees about the same time...

As if anybody with a brain thought it would...

A curb on inequality would go against Thai culture... heaven forbid! THIS...is Thai culture...

Big fan of Trader Joe's Wine department and 2-Buck Chuck...

Brilliant...!

TIT...!

Actually, nothing lost in the translation. That is how the Thai mind works. I have been living and working here for many years. As Western guests in another country, we are politely inclined to give those the benefit of the doubt. Don't... you heard it right the first time. 'Scrambled Eggs' for brains. Sad, but true. (you can always tell 'flamers'...they are the ones that have only been here a few months)

"and an apparent lack of comprehension of the risks involved in some manoeuvres" That's the whole 'kit' right there... A lack of comprehension, and you are never going to be able to fix that one.

"Technology should not be in the hands of those that did not invent it"

Thai mind...?

I'll give credence to what you say when I see you open up your house to give them food and shelter, on your own 'dime', not mine or somebody else's. Step up my man, and show us you 'are the MAN'...!

Transam...please don't insult the Australians,,,! 555

Yes they do. That is why I am calling for the enlightened folks of the USA to grant her Citizenship. UK do-gooders who can't see their hand in front of their faces, let alone humanity down the road, can take all those people and put them up in their homes. America will take SUELLA...!

So far the only country that is approaching a bit of sanity is Australia.

Even better, Braveman wants anybody who has first entered a previous EU country... completely disqualified...as the are no longer a refugee/migrant to the UK by definition.

I am definitely not a fan of 'The Donald', but he did say something I remember that was very significant regarding immigration. To paraphase..."we don't want your criminals, drug addicts, and loosers...we want your Doctors, Lawyers, Engineers, Finacial experts, Scientists, Industrialists, etc...immigrating into our great country, able to make great contributions". America needs to adopt the same stringent immigration measures that THAILAND has so respectfully adopted. "Bring needed skills...and, or lot's of money...!" America needs 'winners' immigrating. Bod wants any and all losers welcome. ' 'His country is heading down the toilet (as is mine), but Bob is such a nice guy'.
