Statistics don't really apply in these sorts of situations... it's not like coin flipping or rolling dice. Each election has a unique set of circumstances that influence the outcome. If you go by stats, Obama had a 0% chance of being elected, as no black person had been elected before him.

Inventory control? What's that?

To her credit, she wasn't tossing rolls of paper towels like a certain ex president.....

I wonder if they will be paid overtime? I see a potential for an updated version of "Gilligans Island" "A three hour cruise...... a three hour cruise.....

“The arrest rate for illegal immigrants was 40 percent below that of native-born Americans.” No lie. Go check some FBI stats if you are willing. Trump never lets facts get in the way of his racism and bs Here is a fun article. https://www.factcheck.org/2018/06/is-illegal-immigration-linked-to-more-or-less-crime/

Agree. If I wanted that, I would have stayed back in me home city

C'mon you left out watching EPL on weekends. Go Arsenun! Or rugby if you're into crotch sniffers...

Anyone happen to notice that these vampires are busy sucking the life out the economies?

"....Illegal foreign bus services are rife, usurping market share from licensed Thai operators..." If they are so "rife" should be easy to catch, if somehow Thai cops could be enticed to step out of the offices into the "real world". Not that easy to hide a bus, ya think? Or a van....

As if Many Thais are already way over their heads in debt.... ah but a big gambling win will take care of all that.... not

Brings to mind Scientology whack job "sea org" outfits

The consensus diplomatic stance seems to be the time honored "Your guess is as good as mine"

If I had to bet on who did this, I'd bet it was some disaffected right wing neo Nazi white guy. Let's see if I'd collect on that virtual bet.

"...poorly produced *ya dong* or white spirits that do not meet safety standards." Maybe a mistranslation? Instead of "ya dong" should be "ya done".

The most fun one was some years back when BIB busted some seniors in Pats for playing bridge. Said must be gambling; assume totally unfamiliar with the card game. Head of Thai bridge association, some hiso lady came to Pats and read them the riot act. Seems an international bridge event was going to happen in Bangkok not long after this bust. To save face, the cops hit them with some charge about not having tax paid on decks of cards. Maybe they were free ones like I've gotten from EVA air. Will they must down my door?

65 year old expats with memory and other health problems: just the sort of criminals the cops crack down on with maximal effort

Masks? Hoods would be too hot

Keep Thailand chaotic, ungovernable, uneducated ....run by oligarchs & no one would want to invade, to say nothing of trying to rule here

Seems in same ill informed stream that HIV was floating in when it first appeared: "gay men's problem" Viruses evolve and adapt. Rationalizations such as yours give carte blanche for spread and variations to appear

"closing after 20 successful years". I dunno, usually restaurants close because they are not successful.... maybe like Yogi Berra quipped "Nobody goes there anymore. It's always too crowded". or... "I've been happily married for 15 years!" "Gee that is great" "Except we got married 20 years ago..."

time to get the old mugging gangs back together and scope out where the cash will be handed out.

Handing out cash would seem to attract low life thieves, groups or individuals, that would hang about the locations the cash is handed out, and proceed to rob those who seem weaker and vulnerable. Like moose steaks for packs of wolves.

Just when you thought (hoped?) they couldn't do anything more stupid, they do

biologically there may be no race, but in the minds of people there are artificial categories which they believe and act upon... yes DJT is racist & from long line of racists: DOJ suit against his dad over non rental to black people in NYC properties. That BS birther slander against Obama. The full page ad to bring back death penalty for Central Park 5 (later exonerated after decades in jail), "Good people on both sides" re "Jews will not replace us" Tiki march, too similar to KKK and Nazi marches & woman runover and killed by one of those fine people, His referring to inner city people as animals.... his racist insult of Harris by pretending not to be able to pronounce her name... This could go on for pages. There is no such thing as God (no proof), yet people believe in God and act on those beliefs

Make sure the other inmates know of his crimes. The most despised prisoners are pedophiles... with step daughter puts this even more over the edge. "Short eyes" should be removed from the gene pool imo
