It's unbelievable. As for Thailand, the usual places such as Patts swamp Instagram. What would shock people is the number of Ekkamai/Thong Lor girls for hire. It's the number one freelance portal in the world.

Instagram has descended into the worst international prostitution portal on earth. Far too many young women are getting dragged into an apparently glamorous but often depraved world. Dubai is the epicentre, Thailand a satellite. I'll also say that Thai Instagram is out of control, you'd be gobsmacked at not only how many women are plying their trade their but also who is available for hire. I see this story, what I see is a young woman heading for a nervous breakdown. Tragic.

I actually agree with this. The man is unwell and on a permanent decline. He should be allowed a peaceful retirement. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn57p5r99xyo

In my opinion- anyone that watched the footage of the October 7 attack would side with Israel. I know of no society on planet earth that wouldn't react. Not a single one. Repulsive, cowardly as angering as the attack was on the day, what made it worse was the reaction of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians when the hostages and corpses were transported across the border by this terrorist scum. Corpses were defiled, a disabled Israeli child executed, Israelis lynched. I was neutral with a bias towards Orthodox Jews up till that day. After that day, I'm not neutral any more. And it was the reaction of the civilians that tipped me over. You fight fire with fire, and if many get burnt, so be it. But here's what's going to happen if Trump is successful in creating a safe haven for the Palestinians. Those who indicate that they are prepared to take up the offer will be executed by Hamas. Plenty of Palestinians would love to get out - but they are imprisoned by fear. I know that as I know a couple of Palestinians who ran for their lives from Hamas. And here we have people supporting the Palestinian cause - the cause died on October 7. Hezbollah has folded, Gaza is razed to the ground, there is no deal to be done. October 7 - the day the Palestinian cause died.

What's interesting about this issue is that it draws a red line between the empaths and the self reliance brigades. Empaths - will fall for every sob story, Self reliance - can be cruelly dismissive. There's a simple fact that the empath's can't argue with. None of the successful countries in the world were founded on charity. They were all founded on graft, brutal hard work, brutal conditions, and commerce. The charitable ( free health care etc ) came later and in some cases have totally undermined countries such as the UK as the number of people living off the state is ridiculous. It's always easy to spend someone else's money, but earning it, building and saving? That's a challenge.

Surely he knew that the forum has a "top poster" banner? Top 5 posters every week are the same demented suspects - and what's pitiful is that the top posters every week on this forum are active in the American political threads. This is supposed to be a Thai and Asean related forum

Laughable

No distortion, you are accurately described. People like you making this out to be a free speech issue are delusional when demonstration for support for Hamas is criminal. But then you say "protesting against Israel is legal......." not when there there are videos of you marching down the street with Hamas banners, flags, and chanting pro-Hamas slogans.

I was replying to that member - I mentioned you for a reason. You are deluded if you believe free speech beats criminal activity as designated by Congress.

Don't be kidded, US law enforcement has thousands of hours of video footage and untold numbers of photographs of people demonstrating support for Hamas, that's before they go into their already vast online trove of gathered evidence. You'd need to be touched in the head if you didn't know that as soon as these pro-Hamas demonstrations took off that the entire US security and intelligence apparatus leapt into action to track down terrorist cells and suspects. No point deleting - they have it already. And can I add, American students will find their "free speech" rights don't extend to supporting Hamas. Congress has made it clear that supporting proscribed organizations is a criminal act.

The problem for StevenI and his type is that there's video footage of students saying they support Hamas.

The wayback machine captures all evidence. There's no point scrubbing, if it's online they'll find it. However, Trump is gunning for those who participated in criminal activity such as open support for Hamas, a proscribed terrorist organization. That's not a free speech issue, that's entirely a criminal matter and they should be deported.

On a related note, 10,000 employees is also abuse of funding. Far too much is sucked up by "charitable leeches." You can live a high life on other people's misery.

Some MAGA say - walk away from it all. Other MAGA say - fund the worthy ( like this case ) and cancel the stupidity. USAID was never intended to fund gay stage shows in Ireland. That's ridiculous abuse of the limited pot of money. I'm in the camp that says genuine healthcare and food, crop growing, water provision, famine, natural disaster relief etc - get on with it. Outside that, not a penny.

You are aware that China's health service is notoriously brutal? People left without palliative care is routine. Pick another country. Never use China in a positive health related issue.

I have them on ignore. 500 obsessive posts a week, unbelievable. Unhealthy.

The White House is over the moon, they can now extend the deadline. And if it's found to be a legal offer ( likely ) more people will accept. ps - the figure I saw was 60,000 accepted.

Just wait a few weeks, you'll have egg on your face.

Comical answer proving you know nothing about Arab culture. If Arabs truly wanted that it would have happened already.

BS. The Muslim states don't want them as they created a cancerous autonomous bubble in South Lebanon, undermining the Lebanese government. You must be off your head if you think other Arab states want that to happen to them.

This is an acid test for anyone commenting on these threads. If you've never heard of the: Palestinian Exodus Don't comment until you read up on what happened and why.

Google Wasfi Tal. It takes a special type of Internet troll to deny that Egypt has banned Palestinians for decades. It take as special type of Internet troll to deny the evidence of everyone's eyes that the Muslim states will do anything to avoid taking in Palestinians. Read up on the Palestinian Exodus before you beclown yourself even more. https://badil.org/publications/al-majdal/issues/items/1355.html

Righty-o Worthless list paying lip service. Arabs detest the Palestinians and they prove that by their actions, offering them no refuge. In fact, they are banned from Egypt - who created Gaza to corral them as they knew they'd be a cancerous presence in Egypt. By the way, you just proved my point that you are clueless.

This is the consensus, Stop commenting on things you clearly know nothing about. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/02/21/why-arab-states-wont-support-palestinians-qa-00142277

By the way, USAID is not getting shuttered ( yet more fake news ). It's getting put through the wringer and held accountable for the money it spent. Staff cuts on the way too. Congress had to shut down USAID, Thomas Massie has cosponsored a bill to do just that.
