    It's incredible to me that this debate has gotten so far off course that people don't even understand that the protests were about immigration and the crackdown on both legal and illegal immigrants. Hence the pure silliness of asking why people are waving the Mexican flag!

     

    Talk about the fog of politics and MAGA. 

    It’s obvious why others are, but the question was genuine in ascertaining if actual Americans were waving another’s flag. Surprised you of all people would get twisted out of shape, normally have a balanced viewpoint. Perhaps the irrationality of a left-leaning bent that people note here? And please don’t lump me in with the maga, Trump-loving crowd, albeit at least they’re doing something about the illegals. My own gov should take note.

    He advocates for welcoming back Chinese tourists while also opening new markets, notably India, projected to overtake Russia as the third-largest source of tourists

    Joy. The finest of groups to encourage. 

    Thailand’s penchant for cracking down on dastardly foreigner activities and persistently messing with the visa system, plus shouting about taxation (yes I know that’s for longer termers) and the introduction of the hassle-factor online TM47 etc might be having an impact. Flights are also pricier and then you have better alternatives in the region.

  3. Don’t like it as it is overused by the deranged and stalkers. Should probably bring back who is posting them (and possibly take emoji posting rights away from downvote ‘abusers’ 😋), but then you get tit for tat pissing contests because they downvoted me etc etc. Still a believer in just having the + / - and dump the rest. But of course it’s not in the forum owners’ interests since some poor souls serial post for their likes, which in turn generates more content.

    I find it interesting that the Mexican flag is prominently displayed in almost every picture I am seeing of the LA riots. And what does this mean? Has LA been taken over by the Mexicans? And why is it that the left wing socialist Democrats support these people and the riots? To me it seems that the left wing Democrats are advocating open borders and the end of U.S. sovereignty.  

    Mexican flag.webp

    Are actual Americans waving the Mexican flag then? Brits also did that with the EU flag during the Brexit thing. Bizarre. If it’s just Mexicans, do they think California is still a part of Mexico, or are they unhappy and missing home? Kinda get the symbolism thing, but reckon folks in another’s country should not be antagonising the locals by angrily displaying their nation’s flag, much less burning the host country’s. If Americans are doing the above, maybe they should emigrate…

    Dr. Thira stresses that infected individuals should not continue with their everyday activities, urging them to stay away from workplaces and educational institutions to help curb the virus's spread.

    Nonsense. Rest if you’re sick but you will not curb the spread, just prolong it.  Everybody will probably pick it up. Doctors and fearmongering!

    Does someone who works out every day have wud. 

    😂 love it. 
    Congrats. Chucking anything into one’s lungs long term other than fresh air can’t be good, addiction or no. For those that are struggling addicted, I hear one controlled hit on mushrooms can rewire one out of it.

    People like Nigel Farage, who is married to a German, should be aware of the problem that he is a part of. A small part but nonetheless is he claiming for her too?

    It is idiotic garbage like this that has me shaking my head. Are you actually F serious? It is NOT a problem that a European (or ANY) national paying their way live in Britain. A total non-issue. Only a bigoted xenophobe would be against that. THE problem is mass unchecked immigration with cap in hand. Sort yourself out, man!

    The Britain for which previous generations fought and died to protect is being betrayed by senior members of the civil service, the judiciary and the police.

    I get that and it grieves me, but all the same they just did what they were told. The ‘silent’ greatest generation would be turning in their graves. There is clearly merit in immigration and I’m all for means tested, absolutely no issue, but this current en-masse influx debacle is a ruiner of states. Putin loves to inflict that kind of damage, but sadly our own perpetrate it (typically rich liberalistic boomers with multiple properties) and will never have to live next door to it.

    Creating fake porn images using AI is one thing. Creating fake porn images of underage girls from your own school is definitely not ok.  It says that the boy showed no remorse.   Ie - he doesn't understand right from wrong or is just an evil person, who knows....

    Not only that, the little shyster was roughing them up too by the sounds. Bang him up in juvie and get him on a register if there is such a thing here. Nasty piece of work.

    Joined eight hours ago and posted this. I suggest you have a nice cup of tea and a lie down. I'm 91 and my number should be way before yours. But you can go before me if you so desire.

     

    Indeed, very trollish material. And congrats to you, btw sir; very impressive!

     

    Of the remotest chance that the op is legit, I would say to this individual, 'have at it', let it come and smile while you move on. That is the only way for it is inevitable. The chance of there being some kind of 'waiting room' to be judged would be nonsensical, since there is no datum to base it off of... i.e. we as humans are born dumb and have no cue or history to go by. We don't know how to be 'good' etc. That a soul may know better would be immaterial--and that absolutely could be a thing--but that is not the point. Thus, if you do end up the punished, then, in short, your god is a callous cnt and we are all the Fkt! 🙂
