  1. What difference does it make? The Protestant work ethic died a slow death a long time ago. The future belongs to East Asia.
  2. It is the $100 per person per day tourist fee that is - and will remain - the deal breaker regardless of whatever else they do to increase the number of visitors.
  3. For sure. It's all about media coverage and attention. Like children, when they can't get it by doing something good, they'll do something bad. A textbook example of arrested development.
  4. Meiji whole milk. Widely available here in CM. For my money, it tastes richer and better than the others I've tasted.
  5. Indeed you don't. You have more than enough idiots of your own to run your dysfunctional countries into the ground.
  6. Exceptionally good post. Perceptive and spot-on. Some people seem to be born with an aptitude for learning languages. I wasn't, but I overcame it to learn Thai because I didn't want my Thai wife and our two daughters to see me as an illiterate who couldn't speak the language.
  7. Curtis Sliwa has been a force for good and common sense in New York City for a long time. As a young delivery boy for the Daily News he saved several people from a burning building while on his paper route. In 1992 he survived a mob hit by the Gotti family. His landslide defeat in the 2021 mayoral election to Eric Adams tells you all you need to know about the NYC electorate.
  8. Too cold... In every conceivable sense of the term.
  9. A pathological liar. There, I fixed it for you.
  10. Ung Ing is nothing but a sock puppet. The corrupt Shinawatra clan is totally controlled by the Dragonhead.
  11. The communities on the Ping River that are now flooded face a variety of serious problems. The most pressing is food and drinking water. Where are the local aufhorities when you need them? They are no doubt busy drawing up their plans for future flood relief and mitigation just like they did after the 2011 disaster.
  12. You're right, he's not a Catholic priest. Many of his views and positions go back to the Oxford Movement of the 1830's. He is a direct descendent of Cardinal Newman. Welcome to the USA.
  13. A den of thieves if ever there was one. American politics has transitioned from tragedy into farce. Thai politics is still in the tragedy phase.
