I have owned a Siberian Husky. They can be good pets and friendly animals. To people. But they are still a bit instinctive regarding smaller animals as prey. That one would attack a smaller dog, cat or chickens is no surprise at all. I don't condone killing this dog and the guy should have demanded compensation from the dogs owner and that he keep the dog under control. If refused and repeated then maybe a harsh response like a punch in the nose for the owner. Whatever. I can't give the dog owner a free pass either. I know TIT but it isn't right. Pets should not roam free. If it harms someone else in any way owner has to man up and pay. No good guy in this and a poor animal beaten to death because of it.

What good is a lawyer when you have no lease? Clearly the reason he is evicting you is money. Either offer to pay an additional 2000 a month (the current going rate per you) and everything is cool. Or move out because he has every right to evict you with no lease.

Anyone projecting 4 years out is guessing at this point. Much of who will win will be determined by the results of the next 4 years. If Trumps policies leave a sour taste in the mouth of voters then the DEMs have a strong chance. If his policies result in a booming economy and new world wide respect and peace then a GOP candidate running a good campaign has a strong chance. A DEM candidate once said it clearly and was bang on the nose. It's the economy stupid. That more than the inane leftist policies of the left were the biggest reason the middle class turned away from Harris and the DEMs. They forgot the economy for the middle class isn't the stock market. It's inflation, wages and job security.

Dude, get a grip. Misspelling isn't an important issue when sharing opinions.

This was my dream car. No idea why I never drove one and wasn't aware of the maintenance issues associtaed with them, I just wanted one. LOL

Columbia caved because they were clearly in the wrong. Every nation on this planet has sovereign rights as to who they allow to enter and for how long. The US is no different. And every nation clearly has the right to deport a foreign national that has been arrested for committing a crime and entered illegally to start with. Columbia prez tried to be macho and stand up to Trump. Trump said OK let's wreck your economy for being an <deleted>. Colombian prez realize the backlash of a trashed economy might end with him removed from office and dropped the charade of outrage. Sanity prevailed. Trump was right. I know it's hard for you to accept that last sentence.

While all these cars stir memories I would not drive one today on a bet. Give me a modern car. So much better in almost every way except in some cases style. OK I posted my first car but my favorite car as a young man was my 67 Camaro. V8, in dash AC (rare should have kept it) and automatic (bummer would have preferred stick). Mine did not have the spoiler or covered headlights otherwise this is exactly what I had.

In this case it is legitimate national rights. If the same exact thing happened here in Thailand no one would bat an eye. You must have permission to enter a nation you are not a citizen of. Any nation. If you sneak in and get arrested for a crime every nation has a right to deport you. In this case the implication (and I believe it) is this first wave is mostly scumbags who committed crimes in the USA and have long records back home as well. perfectly within the US national right to reject them and send them home.

Oh yes. I remember it well. Not a very good car but only $200 and it was reliable. 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente. Had a 6 cylinder 3 speed standard shift on the steering column (3 on the tree). It represented FREEDOM to me. Mine wasn't this nice and was burgundy color.

Yeah I have a few friends life there and confirmed.

Question is how long will her really serve? Time off for good behavior and the like chances are he will get out of jail some day. And he shouldn't.

I love the laugh when they first see how big it is. Good job catching it. Anyone know which condo building this is?

He shouldn't be breathing by the end of the week. I know the death sentence isn't popular among many but society merits vengeance and notice to others with similar intent we do not coddle perpetrators of such evil.

I have driven very little in Thailand. Usually have friends with cars to golf and in Pattaya I don't need a car. Funny story is the FIRST time I drove in Thailand (scary for a yank driving on that side and that chaos) I am driving a rental down second road in Pattaya. A car pulls out in front blocking my lane so I have to either swerve around him or stop until he moves. So I stop not being in a hurry. A few seconds later (enough time to see I'm stopped in broad daylight) a young thai guy on a motorbike rear ends me. <deleted>kkkkk I get out and look at bike, him and car. I ask him he OK? Car looks OK to me and I'm like OK no problem thinking I can drive away. He pulls up next to drivers window and knocks on it. I'm thinking he is trying to shake me down but when I roll down the window he reaches in the shake my hand and drives off. I guess he appreciated the fact I didn't react in anger or make a big deal of it.

But this was about road rage wasn't it? I mean it wasn't withholding payment or something. I get it. A person here earns 300 baht a day and someone tries to cheat them of 100 baht I might consider violence to collect. But road rage? Gotta just let it go.

I can not believe people let their emotions get this far out of hand. Can a young man get angry with all that testosterone in him and punch someone? Yes. One with limited control issues. But to kill them with a car? Well I suspect he has a very hard life ahead of him now.

I thought he did. 🤣

What is funny is the far leftist leaders of the world think they are centrist. Whatever. Viewpoint is everything and this reporters views obviously originate from the far left.

Are you talking about a national sales tax replacing income tax? If so I'm game except I don't trust the bastards to start it and then ADD income taxes back. LOL

I woke up wondering (yeah I'm weird like that) about insurance claims for this fire. What if one was escaping the fire, got blocked and to leave their car on the road. Then police/fire come along and bash the car off the road destroying it. What do they claim? Is it covered by random fire on the road (homeowners cover when miles from home?) or accident? Not like these people don't already have massive problems. And note many lost their jobs as the business they worked at is gone. And rebuilding won't be fast. There will be a shortage of labor and materials for years. I have massive sympathy for these folks.

Personally I am an advocate of setting a minimum level of income to survive which everyone gets to earn tax free. Over that then a flat tax as you mention. It means poor people aren't taxed until they emerge to middle class then they become payers and should recognize the value of controlled government spending.

What exactly IS a "fair share"? I hear the term bandied about but no one ever mentions the top 5% of earners pay the majority of income taxes. Most of the government’s federal income tax revenue comes from the nation’s top income earners. In 2021, the top 5% of earners — people with incomes $252,840 and above — collectively paid over $1.4 trillion in income taxes, or about 66% of the national total. If you include the top 10% — everyone who made at least $169,800 — that figure rises to $1.7 trillion, or 76% of the total https://usafacts.org/articles/who-pays-the-most-income-tax/ I agree with a tax structure that increases in percentage as one incomes rises but how much is enough? I mean the bottom 50% pay a total of 3% of collected income tax. At what point is it unfair to expect the higher income earners to shoulder all the cost? Do the bottom 50% not also benefit from living in the country?

Hmmmm. Politico. Quoted (spun) in MSN. Come on guys. How about reporting NEWS instead of guesses?

There are other proactive measures they could take such as controlled burns. Doing them when there is no strong winds is easy for a quality fire department and removes a lot of the fuel for these fires. This was easily foreseen. Here in Arizona our fire departments are busy year round preventing firestorms before they start.

I hate conspiracies and will await investigation. But I agree the number of fires starting at once is very suspect. They are looking into the sources.
