I'm sorry but it just reads like some futuristic sci fi movie synopsis. Or, more likely, a computer game that's leaked into your brain and taken it over. I know the buzz you get from coding, it's like no other, and I think conspiracy theories are linked to that. They make you feel empowered, somehow you're smart enough to have figured out what's REALLY going on in the world. How it all works and fits together. All you have to do now is sit back, watch it happen, and be proved right. I read the same thing on comments sections on the Ukraine war, the US elections, BRICS, Western hegemony, Deep State, the globalist cabal, the globalist mafia etc etc. There's nothing new in these theories. They've been around for centuries. Every now and then they get updated. With the arrival of the internet in the 90s they really came into their own. Believe what you will! We all do!

Well I hope you'll take it all on board in future. It's a matter of common sense to me. As I said before, if you just press "Quote" it works. If you want to quote only the bits you think are relevant, well, thats a subjective judgment you're making. Others might disagree, including the OP. Most posts are short enough that they don't normally need editing in a reply. I've seen posts outrageously and wilfully mangled in replies. I'll stick with the "Quote" button unless editing is obviously required for brevity. Another technique is to simply use the "Quote" button and then quote the bits from within the OP that you want to comment on.

Sorry, I didn't check time stamps. Point taken, apology offered.

Hard to see how you can shorten a post without erasing a certain amount of context. In any event, I took issue with what you did and it seems the moderators did too. I would have been happy to argue your point of REDUCTIO etc, as I don't believe my comment actually was guilty of that. I merely pointed out, albeit using a phrase i think you found objectionable, ie "back to the jungle" or some such, simply to illustrate the possible outcome of a totally laissez faire policy, where anything goes, a phrase I used to qualify the jungle remark. From what I've read, we actually agree on the notion of an individual taking responsibility for what they post. But in an anonymous forum, stuff gets posted which I think is unacceptable, as nobody can realistically be held accountable, and that may be where we differ. But who's to say what's acceptable? Americans seem to lean towards anything. But as I think we agree, actions have consequences. People are within their rights (don't laugh) to call foul. Otherwise there's nothing to discuss. You can say what you like, as can I. Until it gets personal, as it often does. Does anything get resolved? No.

I was thinking maybe he handed out 4 or 5 of the phones to the IOs, and was released. Whereupon he scarpered. Stupid to come back, but I don't think back then they had finger printing or face recognition, but if he used the same name even with a different passport, well, asking for trouble.

Nor had I. There was a lot missing from the TE post.

I think the headline is misleading. The PPP has actually put forward Thammanat as a candidate for a government post, so it's not a question of Prawit or him. Seems like Prawit backed down. Originally he wasn't going to back him. That's why Thammanat had a hissy fit and threatened to take his cronies out of the PPP. Ung Ing would be mad to go anywhere near him. And everybody knows it.

It's against forum rules. You've been found doing it twice. Can't figure out why it's a no no? Think about it.

Read the link I posted for heaven's sake!

Ok "Back in 2017, the iPhone 8 was not allowed to be sold in Thailand" according to the link I posted.

These were iPhone 8s, and banned for use in Thailand back in 2017, when he was stopped at customs in BKK.

Yeah, my question too. No dates given, and no sources.

Well, the post in question, regarding "REDUCTIO AD ABSURDAM", has disappeared. It was the text of my comment that you edited by copying and pasting parts of, into your reply. If you want to reply, you just press "Quote". Don't quote the bits you want and edit out the rest.

Who's telling you that?

Haha. No, Temu has sent me ads for a variety of oddball items. I've never searched for anything like that, well, maybe but a very long time ago. Things like rubber pants with a sort of hose attached. The mind boggles. Might work on the space station though. Who knows? Any volunteers?

Avoid Thammanat like the plague if they want to avoid any accusations of ethical violations. Even though he has been a fixture in the PT coalition, this could easily change and a Srettha style complaint made against Ung Ing for appointing him, a convicted felon. Dump the PPP and Roly Poly Prawit.

Presumably they'd have to strap themselves together or it could prove extremely frustrating. I'm sure there's something on Temu that fits the bill. They appear to market the weirdest "equipment".

There is at least one very well established law firm in Bangkok with a team of American lawyers, amongst others. They can't represent you in court, but I'd say their advice is trustworthy 100%. Recommend you come and talk to them. Here, you will get anecdotes and personal experience, but not reliable legal advice. Both have their value of course!

Excellent comment. Here's the link to the article on WHO's website: https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/monkeypox#:~:text=The monkeypox virus was discovered,occasionally from animals to people. As you can see, it's been around for a while. The date on the linked article is already over a year old. There was an outbreak in the US in 2022. 14,000 infections recorded in DRC with 60% amongst children. There's history and valuable information available everywhere. No need for conspiracy theories, gay bashing, Western hegemony, globalist blah blah. It's a highly transmissible disease. Inform yourselves and draw your own conclusions.

I was told they tend to make ideal nesting trees for all manner of furry animals. They're called Telegraph pole trees in Philippines.

The first 2 paragraphs I can accept. It's what I say in my comment. But I'm afraid from my point of view, you completely leave the rails thereafter. Socialist Europe? And the Commonwealth? Globalist tyrants? Isn't the leader of western hegemony (you missed that one) supposed to be the US? It's all gibberish in any case. I read this stuff everywhere. USA the saviour of the world! It's a nuthouse! Look at this thread for starters. Written in the main by kids for kids.

You've cut and pasted my comment. I think it was you who did this before. I'm going to report it again. You have to follow the forum roles. Doesn't bode well for your ideas of freedom of speech. If you want to repost quoting my entire comment, I will refute your specious argument. Copied and pasted from where I wonder?

The crackdown on free speech? Not to be confused with the prosecution of the wilful dissemination and broadcasting of completely false and misleading information I guess. Or the moderation of incitement to violence, racial hatred or other forms of hate speech? Try broadcasting such here. You'll very quickly be taken to task. Does a civilized society not require certain standards of behaviour to be maintained, or is it just back to the jungle, as you seem to suggest, where anything goes?
