  1. On the bright side, Trump is old and out of shape. He may be gone before the plane is ready
  2. "Motorbike taxi drivers, stationed nearby, intervened in an attempt to calm the situation." That's got to be a first, ya think?
  3. But but... he had his big boast of obliterating their nuke program. What's left to hit?
  4. Just what/where is "California University"? "Cal" usually refers to U of California Berkley... University of California Los Angeles" (UCLA) doesn't qualify? "University of Southern California (USC)" the same? Then there are spots like "UC Davis"... If she went to Stanford... nope. "I hit Google AI for what makes a professor in Thailand and it spit out this (minus "vibrant") In Thailand, the title of "Professor" (ศาสตราจารย์ - sàatrǎa-jaan) at a university is generally attained through a combination of academic achievements, teaching experience, and research contributions. Typically, one must hold a doctoral degree (PhD) and have a distinguished record of teaching and scholarly work within their field".hmmm went on to say sometimes a master's degree is enough But I prefer Phd: "Piled Higher Deeper" This going after her reminds me of when PM was deposed for having a cooking show.
  5. Maybe the Maga crowd will share from their warehouses... at a hefty markup, of course
  6. It does appear hotels aren't getting ID's for lady "visitors" like used to be required. Couple of assaults in last week or so. Maybe it is time to bring back mandatory ID recording...
  7. I'd say Japanese are the least "street smart" nationality, living in a safe country and all. Hope that explains why this naive moron was out by himself in sleezeville at 4:40 in the frickin' morning.
  8. The Buddha clearly taught not to base belief on faith, full stop! “Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.” Buddha quotes (Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta, the founder of Buddhism, 563-483 B.C.)
  9. Hard to get figures, but AQI of 22 looks like equal to 1 cigarette. The air pollution in Thailand is murderous, literally, with numbers above 100 typical. If they do all the air scrubbing and what have you for smoking rooms, they just might end up having cleaner air than outside the terminal! Like I said, I don't smoke any more, but it still irks me the discrimination against smokers that puritain types put them on the level of Jeffrey Epstein. They are using a legal product in the intended manner... personally I'd rather be addicted to nicotine than the internet/social media But that' just me
  10. The cops in Thailand need to stop play acting at being police and actually be police.
  11. I quit smoking 3 or 4 yrs ago, so didn't know they shut down smoking rooms.... why do they need a "prototype"? They used to have smoking rooms. Just fire those up again. Why reinvent the wheel?
  12. This is a great docu about tagging NYC trains etc, hip hop origins, etc. Esp fun is when their graffiti went mainstream with showings in art galleries. From 1983
  13. School of life has a high tuition for numbskulls
  14. How many did JC get on youtube or twitter? I'll guess none. In case you haven't noticed, or don't care to take into account, this is now an age when streaming. HBO, tons of web sites etc are vying for our time. SO it is disingenuous or just plain ignorant to compare apples and oranges. And your conclusion about late show obsession with Trump killed them is plain unsupported and charitably ignorant
  15. Soon to be on youtube and some sort of "idiots behind the wheel" cheap thrills TV filler program
  16. What the heck are you talking about?
  17. But okay if Trump interviews are edited, esp on subjects like his long time friend Epstein. Got it. Election interference? you must be joking. They settled because FCC must approve sale & FCC now lap dog of Trum Show me the law that says independent media businesses cannot edit interviews. What do you think sound bites are? Insipid to assume such a law, but prove me wrong https://www.thedailybeast.com/fox-news-accused-of-deceptively-editing-trumps-epstein-answer/
  18. If press were required to always provide truth, it would be the end of Fox and all of those far right Alex Jones type. I didn't see the interview, but if CBS wanted to edit the piece, they could do that. It is their right. And your response is to not watch 60 minutes. Trump has no standing for a law suit anyway. Many times interviews are edited. And you think Harris is inarticulate? Take a look at Trump's babbling about "longest serving MIT prof" genius meeting up with/teaching unibomber and all that insanity... so full of holes and outright fabrications. Or go back: Should Obama sue Trump over his long running essentially baseless lie about Obama not being born in USA? Hundreds of smears, lies from DJT. No make that thousands
  19. C'mon Trump supporters! Want to hear your defense for the firing, which was without cause. Only "reason" I can see is with her father and prosecuting those Trump was friends with benefits sort of relationships
  20. Paramount (owner of CBS etc) caved to Trump admin over some 60 minutes story, coughed up pile of money and some unknown agreements, maybe PSAs for Trump charities etc rather than fight in court.. So much for freedom of speech defending. Why did Paramount cave? Big sales deal coming up in near future & Trump's goons might nix the deal. Colbert called out Paramount for their cowardice and failure to defend freedom of the press. Colbert is highest rated late night TV... some rumor about difficulty selling ads... did CBS try to reason? No. He heard about it just about same time as public. Anyway, that's what I've heard/read so far....
  21. Here's the news: men become Buddhist monks for many reasons in Thailand. Sometimes the choice is monkhood or prison (familiar with father who got underage daughter pregnant) Fair to say he wasn't trying to achieve nirvana as a monk This pervert sounds like he is cut from the same cloth
  22. I recall after US invasion of Iraq and then one group splattering the other, Bill Maher said "Muslims fighting Muslims. I don't see the problem."
  23. My understanding is that when you accept a pardon, you are admitting guilt AND the big thing is you can't use the 5th amendment shield to keep from testifying. She would be required to "spill the beans"
  24. What's good for the goose.... After US bombing, Trump said Ayatollah should thank Trump for not having him killed too. Would that have been called "assassination"? or rather some euphemism like 'neutralized the assets"? You whack my leader, I will whack yours. Eye for eye. Tit for tat. etc
  25. The school of life often has a high tuition
