So is getting on a motorbike anywhere in the country

 

So is getting behind the wheel of a car on any highway in the land.

 

So is walking down the sidewalk in any major city

 

So is crossing any major street. 

 

There are so many hazards here one has to be diligent constantly. Do you really think we're going to worry about Dengue? Give me a break, I don't give a second thought to covid anymore, I'm more worried about catching the flu.

 

Don't even talk to me about Dengue get a real job please. 

Those other dangers you mention are personal choices: deciding to ride a motorbike or car, walking down the sidewalk

I never drive anything here & sidewalks are free fire zones

That's why I built a concrete bunker (above ground, have to consider floods and all), use 12 volt solar cell juice, have everything delivered.

I've had dengue twice. Not a picnic by any means. It was your choice to read this posting about Dengue. Nobody did it specifically to "talk to you about Dengue". All the posting are not put on this site just to reach you. Ignorance isn't bliss, at least for most people.

Thai "Therapists" in strong demand ? Really ? In a country that does not even know or develop homeopathy natural remedies for exenple....?

"homeopathy" and "therapies" should not be used in the same sentence. Homeopathy is the biggest scam of totally worthless junk misnamed as medicine ever

Hardly a surprise.

 

Sniffing children, tripping over your own feet and building national debt in order to fund conflicts around the world is hardly a recipe for popularity. 

Is that the best you can do? You prefer a dude who would date his daughter if she wasn't his daughter? Cheat on multiple wives with hookers? Can't drink water with one hand?

Okay... NONE of those have to do with job performance, but

Biden hasn't said he wants head of joint chiefs hung; hasn't done his best to overthrow government, etc

Where were you when Trump got Congress to give billions to rich and corporations for no good reason? Tell me that didn't add to debt.

President does not have authority to "build national debt". Read the Constitution: money matters come from Congress. You should know that if you followed potential shutdown, meltdown of house under dysfunctional Republicans, etc

Citizens have been advised not to breathe for the next 36 to 48 hours.

It's part of Thai culture to extend invitations with no expectation the invite will actually result in someone showing up.

"...exigencies often superseding moral imperatives." Yeah, that always trips me up....

"....a nation that has freshly emerged from the shadows of a military junta." sez who?

The "deal" between citizens and governments is something of a social contract; You look out for me and I'll look out for you.

If government is in the right ignoring a citizen who gets into a jam in a foreign country, then it would be fair for citizens to refuse to serve the government if a war broke out outside the country. "I'm not going to fight until the enemy is inside our borders.... until then it's not my problem"

The USA were going to, 6 Billion $,  hasn't that been put on hold?

Learn about things like reality and facts: the 6 billion is Iranian money that was frozen by the west. If I leave may wallet at your house and collect it later, you are not "giving me" the money inside. You are returning it to the owner. Is that too difficult to fathom?

"...every Hamas member was "a dead man""

Well, I suppose it is time for Hamas to recruit some women then...

But it's all good, in line with the OT and all about conquering those who might live on "the promised land":

"But of the cities ... which the Lord thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth." Kill the old men and women, the sick and the dying, the blind and the lame, pregnant mothers, nursing mothers, infants, toddlers, and babies." Deuteronomy 20:16 (went without saying kill all the men)

Now you may say   "Hey wait, that is what Muslim Hamas did". True, but they do refer to Jews as "People of the book" (same sort of origin)... just following God's directions is all

Religion poisons everything
