Gawd, you gotta be pretty shallow to move out of your country based on this kind of thing. How is it affecting one directly? There are also people of generally sound mind (I know some) that will not travel to the US because a certain person is in office. I mean, what the actual F? Sorry, but it is just puerile stuff. If a load of Americans do move out, although I've nowt against them, please consider somewhere other than here. Can't have too much of that mindset here.

De Niro went right down in my estimation after this. Left or right, as an actor stfu and stick to your day job. On actors and their opinion, Ricky Gervais (who is actually left himself) had the measure of it: "... if you do win an award tonight, don't use it as a platform to make a political speech. You're in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg. So if you win, come up, accept your little award, thank your agent, and your God and f*** off!" - Ricky Gervais

Posit they failed because people are just sick and tired of the direction the left is taking us (let's face it, however good their intentions, all they seem to do is blether and sow discord) so they went with the alternative however drastic that may be. They will now whine and fight tooth and nail rather than try to find common ground and move forwards.

If you care anything about genuine unbiased content, the BBC is no longer the place to go, with its post-2020 agenda writing. Not really worth bothering with nowadays outside of shows on the natural world... though I guess it won't be long before they start dressing up man emperor penguins in tutus and lipstick. Even period drama, of which it was unrivalled, is being trounced. Very difficult watching.

Go To Jail. Go directly to Jail. Do not pass GO, do not collect $200B baht.

224 by the looks. Duh!

That they do not do opinion along with humour as evidenced by this post. They immediately go on the attack if something doesn't fit their small field of view with things like 'you are so thick' etc. 😴 Very strange breed, indeed.

Him innit? I dunno, doing wonders in the space/tech industries. Need big thinkers like that at the helm as opposed to dainty little flowers or war mongering thickies. Musk has loads of kids anyway, he's probably forgotten about him or her already. lol

Go to the UK, dude, you'll fit right in there.

That's what the left does. They do not do opinion very well. Yes, Trump is a douche, but he just has a different opinion and people clearly like the guy. And what is wrong with wanting to make one's country better? This whole maga thing (highly stigmatised now--if Obama invented it it wouldn't be a thing) is what America was wholesale back in the day... you guys have just forgotten what you are about. For supporting Brexit (yes, sorry, very off topic) and wanting my own country to have say-so on its own policy, I'm apparently racist. It is divisive and damaging as is the inflammatory tat coming from the democrats. All you guys whinging at Trump and his supporters ad nauseam need to come together a bit and find common ground. Op, just say you're a yank that does not agree with its leadership and would prefer to make America worse. Btw, did he open up the FBI files on JFK yet?

Great, any chance you could take a few of yours back from our beloved Thailand?

Ooh, that's cold, but I like your style. 😋

Totally get that dude but Thailand is taking the Michael a bit here. Anyone with half a brain knows what they’re doing … visit and then <deleted> off! They (the <deleted> in office) do not really want you here. Will see how it goes but if they start bunging silly thresholds tax then they can <deleted> off and baulk at a booming Vietnam!

Become a Thai citizen? 😂 How long will that take, and to what end? One could recite the anthem, speak all of it and know all of history, but one is still a lowly foreigner. You’re way out of you’re depth, dude!

Guys, they do not care about either of you. In fact, these b’stards will make policy to get you out and walk in your country smiling. Just play the 180 game or get the F outta dodge. Let the Ruskies have it 👍

I think I’ll wait, thanks. Certainly won’t be buying houses and cars again in the near future.

No, I get that, it was more flippant and generalising (horrible word). There are some amazing Thai ‘one-man’ women out there and I know some rather pleasant ones as friends/acquaintances. I just choose to keep the wall up nowadays.

White, Thai, Filipina, they are all cold and devious heartbreakers with an agenda, especially the pretty ones 🙂 I did chuckle a bit at the op though as Thai women across the board are typically very money-driven and money is a MAJOR reason in why they pick a man… Thai or foreign. The backlash is big because the truth hurts. Can’t two people just be into each other anymore despite the money thing?

Perfect example of a few aholes speaking for a country. Thailand getting into bed with Russia of all places is not really Thailand. It is a bunch of aholes doing business.

Because their own country is as boring as sin. Dang, answered my own question!

Exactly. Halloween aside, why not stay in your own country to celebrate your own festival? Roads are clogged.

No surprise there. Just be thankful they don’t make it tougher. That is coming I guess. Citizenship: just so long as Thais don’t have it easy in my country. Property, voting, rights etc. Oh wait! 🙂

Heavyweight aholes. Sorry, but all these countries are run by questionable entities with few if any morals. Don’t do it, Thailand, you’re better than that. Oh wait, who runs this place again?

Let’s hope it is enforced, esp in schools. Nobody wants unruly brats (and perhaps a clip round the earhole worked back in the day), but good parenting/schooling should bring up decent kids without having to thrash them. What does that teach them? When I found out the local primary was whacking the kids routinely, including my boy, for trivial stuff like late homework, I sat down with the main teacher in question, had a right go at her and threatened her with the cops. She was properly embarrassed and never did it again, but it goes on wholesale despite supposedly being against the law.

Forget your puffed up acronyms and endless meetings, simply ban burning in the region along with smoke belching vehicles in cities. Big fines/jail time for perps. I cannot believe that in 2024 bleedin archaic two stroke tuk-tuks and filthy sawngthaews are still allowed to operate, and Thailand is relatively rich and advanced compared to those other places. Move on!
