shows how good the copies are if even the store attendants in the real shops cannot tell the difference.......

or maybe how badly trained the staff in US stores can be.

A Thai staff in a Louis Vuitton store in Bangkok can spot a fake at 100 yards....

Probably because they have to with the number of low life, credent scammers liking to make a quick buck without working types are cruising the streets of Bangkok. I doubt they would even look at it closely if there was a receipt and a recent purchase. Lol, they will now!

My wife was amazed at how easy it is to buy stuff in the US and return it if not satisfied...I can see how some might come up with a scam attempt like this

Yep, and there are always a bunch of low life credent types that try and exploit conveniences such as these resulting in the convenience being taken away.

Yes, clearly this lady was clearly a scam artist.

But what about the innocent person who buys a designer item in a store in Thailand and then returns it to a store in the USA if it is defective?

Before you think, well you have to be careful where you buy etc, what about the fake medicines that found their way into the supply chain of various proper pharmacy chains in Europe and in the USA?

Don't think a store in the US would provide a refund or exchange for an item purchasers in Thailand. No receipt, no proof of purchase, no dice.

"At the same time I would put a lot of pressure on China. We have tremendous power over China."

How is this possible? the USA owes China $1254.8 billion dollars, how does this give the USA tremendous power over China?

I wonder how many US citizens know this ? or that the Total U.S. National Debt: $19,214,128,824,849.92

Who is Trump kidding?

It truly is not a difficult concept and is comical that people make comments such as this with the apparent belief they know better when, in reality, the comments demonstrate little or no grasp of basic geopolitics and macroeconomic fundamentals.

This is a very short article that sums it all up quiet nicely.

I'll bet Barnaby Joyce is loving this.

Barnaby is 1 million times more a man than this wannabe human Depp.

Barnaby would be shaking his head alright and probably realises he should of either;

A.) Had Depp's dogs destroyed as they're probably being inseminated by Depp every night & wedontbwant any offspring like that

Or

B.)Had Depp put down and done the world a favour.

If Depp believes that Barnaby is 'inbed with a tomato', I suppose it is possible to have a love child with a yorkshire terrier.

Lol

You know these Hollywood types, some stick gerbils into their spinchta, some root little yappie dogs lol

Freaks ! Just look at him, he put the 'W' into weirdo

Lol, he certainly marches to the beat of a different drum, but I got laugh at the look at him comment.

Let's see a picture of you. I would be willing to bet you are not exactly a prime example of maleness stud everyone swoons over.

Only hope he was wise enough to have a prenup.

Imaginations, speculation and temperament sure do run wild on here.

She only gets portion of assets acquired during 3 month marriage and gets portion of what she acquired.

She has good earning potential and a short duration marriage could lead to less than half of the marital assets acquired during 3 month marriage. Physical abuse could weigh in her favor for more. Allegation is he threw a phone at her hitting her cheek. Before that he pushed her down apparently about lesbian issue and then disappeared for a month before coming back home and the alleged phone incident and then he split again.

RE: Reasons for breakup

On an LA news channel, they said he was pissed at her due to lesbian friend, blamed her for what he classified as the "embarrassing dog incident," and he did not like her getting all caught up in the glitzy public limelight of Hollywood.

Lol, who knows, who cares, but it was a bit of a buzz on the local LA channels.

Interestingly the dog thing was ENTIRELY Amber Heard's fault, not Deep's. Nevertheless, some guys who are apparently the envious types sadly get their feel goods in life by using something like this diss or to try and feel better than someone like Deep.

Depp is actually a very down to earth who is not caught up in the the glitzie, look at me, Hollywood bs drama and is a very generous dude, that does a lot for children and charities. Nevertheless, it it gives you the war and fuzzier to hate on him in this manner, have at it lol . . .

I am justa bit blown back by it because there are a slew of pompous star A@@h@les out there to hate on over legitimate stuff, Depp just does not fit that mold.

Actors and Politicians, both jobs pursued by egotistical morons with a sense of entitlement and yearning respect and adoration. Both get overpaid and deliver little more than ham performances. These two just stepped up to prove the point.

Maybe you need an American dictionary for your perception, definition and use of the word entitlement. Actors and politicians actually have to spend time, effort and work for it . . . otherwise, many would do their jobs and reap the rewards that success brings with those occupations. Musicians work their tail off for it. Only a very, very few that strive to make it in these industries achieving achieve success and that success does not come easy.

Entitlement is more befitting to uneducated losers, that sit on their butts, do nothing but complain about those that are successful and have cool stuff and are angered by it, envious of it, believe the world owes them the same and how no moral dilemma about mooching of the system or having others pay for their lazy butts.

i hope he's not a true aussie in every sense........never seen the humour in his character.........a hideous slob of a man/woman....

Are you kidding me. Sir Les is a National icon and hung like a stallion. Barnaby Joyce is a tosser.

Am I missing some stupid Australian humor or something and I love Aussie humor? Lol, are you guys for real? This guy is an icon? I suppose the overweight, bad hair tomato I drink to much face is in. If so, I need to move to Australia as I would have harems of hot Aussie women scattered around. Not a bad prospect. Is poor selection of men why the hotties leave Australia or pursue American guys? Is that why Aussies get so worked up of attractive, well to do American men like Depp that can pull the hot women from Australia like its nobodies business?

Celebrity worship.....Sick to death of people giving so much attention to what actors do or say when they are not acting......most of them are real life ass clowns

Like DiCaprio picking up his environmental award in a private jet. What a joke, and they expect to be taken seriously?

Something tells me they are quiet alright and not losing any asleep without your approval. There is an underlying reason some get so worked up about others and it has a lot more to with them than others.

Just leaving LA and it was on news that Amber filed for divorce from Johnny. Lol, I suppose that will make some of the bitter types something to revel in for a moment.

Meanwhile no islamic group has claimed anything yet, while for the past ones they were bragging about it.. not exclude it uht maybe wait till the conclusion before hanging all the muslims in europe who do the jobs none of the european wants to do anymore...

They may not for a while if they have found a way to get something on board undetected.

Here we go again - runaway speculation on an Air Crash before even the wreckage has been found let alone the official investigation has got fully underway.

There can be numerous reasons for this crash , that is why experts whose job it is to do an exhaustive investigation that can take upto 2 years to complete before the cause can be determined.

The final report can take up to two years, but once the CVR and FDR are recovered, an analysis can usually be made fairly quickly, and in the case of a bomb, it will be very quickly. Then it takes some back room type to write up the report, covering all the detail.....up to two years.

They can get pretty decent ideas fairly quickly due to data being reported from plane in a continuous basis. What ever they are seeing preliminarily is causing a whole lot of concern and scrambling right now with those who monitor flight safety and track passengers and shipments.

May take that long to confirm public ally, but internally they will have their ideas regarding cause well before then.

A whole lot going on over there and it a much bigger mess than people realize. Many no fly zones and even Iran airspace closed recently and tried to force several US planes to land. They all crazy over there. Safe? Sure when you weigh the odds of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Even if true, carbon credit taxes and globalist government will do nothing to alleviate the "climate change problem".

Why all the anger at "climate deniers".

Whether I accept or deny all the real or bogus reports by paid off "scientists" about mankind's contribution to climate change, I can clearly see the offered solutions as a means of further enslavement of humanity's masses under globalist elite rule.

I am very close with a group of scientists that are very respected in this area. I have traveled and surfed with them around the world for over a decade now. They are not paid off and could give two cents about public interests groups or money. They are more concerned with the environment and burn off of coral reefs around the world.

The have been monitoring and publishing works since I have known them, Their models are adjusted for El Niño and La Niña and are widely used.

I am suspect of those studies tied to and funded by the energy sector and do think we have a problem.

Todays Trump media story to keep him in the headlines. Got to hand it to him, he has a great media team. Clinton doesn't seem to grasp the whole circus thing at all

Oh, Clinton fully "grasp the whole circus thing." She is a 3 ring circus.

One of her more bizarre quotes

Islam - a religion horribly misrepresented by terrorists, which is like the IRA saying they represented Irish people. Islam is a BEAUTIFUL religion. would make you cry it's so beautiful... and gentle.

Sinead O'Connor

How deluded and naive can you get ?

Yeah, and well Ozzy said:

"Being sober on a bus is, like, totally different than being drunk on a bus."

A one hit wonder is not judged by their total body of work. Quite simply its definition is about what the public recalls about the singer

eg ask a bunch of strangers to recall 5 songs from Micheal Jackson, Billy Joel ,David Bowie, Eurythmics and you will get a good response as they are NOT one hit wonders

Now ask them about Sinead Oconner ?

Why people on this thread are so sensitive about this fact is beyond me. Its fact its just the way it is

thank you for the insight into the vast breadth of your musical knowledge.

It is indeed useful to know that the criteria for one-hit wonderness is whether or not you personally remember 5 of their songs.

of course the fact that pretty much everyone i know can recall a number of her songs and performances is irrelevant, because you personally and your acquaintances are the litmus test .

i get it now.

Lol, I couldn't name a single song by Patsy Kline or Johnny Cash right now . . . Those no hit wonders. Let see, Dolly Parton did Nine to Five, but that's all I can recall. One hit wonder.

A one hit wonder is not judged by their total body of work. Quite simply its definition is about what the public recalls about the singer

eg ask a bunch of strangers to recall 5 songs from Micheal Jackson, Billy Joel ,David Bowie, Eurythmics and you will get a good response as they are NOT one hit wonders

Why people on this thread are so sensitive about this fact is beyond me. Its fact its just the way it is

Oh dear . . . Billy Joel. Hahahaha. Eurythmics??? Annie Lenox is cool, but the only song that comes to mind is Sweet Dreams. I like maybe two songs by Bowie. Could not force myself to listen to a complete Billy Joel song. Michael Jackson . . . I could maybe tolerate listening to a couple of his songs to the end without changing, but doubtful.

Wife and I sat down and listened to The Lion and the Cobra from beginning to end tonight. Brilliant album. Every song is great!

Its all about genre and taste.

In the late 80s, I played in hair bands and lived in clubs and in the party scene. Sinead was very popular among the hip club crowd in the late 80s and early 90s.

Lol, you really dated yourself as an old square type, but nice face save attempt . . . 7 Grammy nominations and 17,000,000 albums sold does not equate one-hit wonder. That's like saying Zep is a one hit wonder because most egg headed Elbert types and younger types may know Stairway but could likely name few other songs.

I never paid too much attention to her, but she has a beautiful voice and some very memorable songs.

Any word on what this temporary disappearance was all about?

One of the best female artist ever, but she committed professional suicide in 1992 and was that ostracized by main stream media, record companies and air play at the pinnacle of her career. She went off everybody's radar after a few 1992 incidents.

She is apparently pretty jacked up with depression and medication for it. She probably went manic.

I have a soft spot for troubled souls that create more trouble for themselves. I tend to do that.

God knows I put myself through some very crazy and very troubled times around the time frame Sinead was hitting her stride. She was one of my favorites back when I was literally bottoming out on a fairly consistent basis.

God I miss the 80s. Fun frickin care free times. I have no idea how I lived through all of that.

One more song and then I have to figure out how to sleep so I can function tomorrow at a mediation . . . Live version of Jerusalem from The Lion and The Cobra in 1987. That album had so may incredible songs . . .

Lol, she was nominated for a Grammy before Nothing Compares to You for her first album, The Lion and The Cobra. That album sold 2,500,000.

2nd album with Nothing Compares to You sold 7,000,000. 3rd album sold 1,500,000 copies and is where she went off deep end and started losing commercial success due to her views. 4th and 5th albums sold over a million copies. She had 4 more albums. . .

5 platinum albums is a little more than a 1 hit wonder.

9 albums released with 16,000,000 to 17,000,000 total albums sold is not too shabby.

Some of you guys either lived under a rock in the late 80s or are just talking crap about something of which you have no knowledge . . .

You may not like her, but she sold a lot of albums.

Oops another song from the One Hit Wonder that was pretty dang popular.

One hit wonder. cash ran out 15 years ago so yeah probably suicidal

One hit wonder?

did she do something to offend you personally, or are you generally just a miserable human being?

I really don't understand the antipathy people here have towards all "other".

Nothing personal but she is a one hit wonder. This is just common knowledge. CNN said she had been found and said she is most known for the song "Nothing compares to you" nothing else. She may be a great human being but not many people on the planet could name anything else she has done. Her best accomplishment is probably keeping Shane McGowan alive but I digress.

Put you hands on me 1987 and my second favorite song she has.

Jackie . . . 1987

and performing Jackie live in 2013 . . . still has incredible voice.

Troy live in 1988.

I agree with Hoohaa 100 percent.

Interesting comments. Sinead was incredibly talented and had some incredible works. One of the better female voices ever, but she was definitely caught up in politics and religion. That was her right and she paid dearly for expressing her views.

What kind of person's mind immediately jumps to such negativity over some so benign as this news story. Her strugglers are actually quiet sad and not that uncommon. She just happens to be somewhat in the spotlight. I doubt anything she does is for publicity, fame or money. In fact, she usually acts in a manner that shows she has no regard for any of that.

The salient points are these:

-- Jenner is not transitioning back

-- If she ever does, I'm sure she'll make a public statement to that effect

-- Jenner is one person. Even if she did transition back, it proves ZILCH about transgender people in general, and how SERIOUS a decision it is for them to make transition decisions.

-- The transphobic right wing is using false rumors about Jenner to mock not only Jenner but to oppose the agenda of transgender civil rights in general.

Jenner WILL transition back.

Mark my words.

It will be done at a time when it will have the best impact on ratings/publicity.

Just wait & see.

Yep, it's all about money and being an attention whore. Sad testament when you feel like you have boobs installed and dress drag to stay relevant and get attention.

Too many people making too much money exploiting this poor messed up dude.

He will change back as soon the $$$ dictate or once the public is no longer interested or intrigued by the new him.

Perhaps, but I noticed the members that posted that falsehood have never publicly acknowledged their error, as I did about the photo.

So, yes, obviously that makes me the bigger man ... neener neener neener.

Chello . . . do you seriously hold a poorly photoshopped, doctored photo that anyone could see had been doctored to a he said, she said disputed about Bruce Jenner's current happiness as a drag queen based on disputes between a close friend's concern for him and those cashing in $$$ wise on his freak show circus appeal at the present time. The sad part is the poor guy is getting even more messed up and potentially ostracized by those pushing him a certain direction so they can stay relevant, make $$$ and cash in on the poor messed up dude.

The poor guy perhaps needs some real help, but these idiots are so caught up in attention and trying to cash in $$$ wise without actually doing any work I doubt any of them really have a clue what is up, what's goo for Bruce or what's bad for Bruce. You are so caught up in a personal agenda, you cannot decipher reality from fiction and what is good or bad for the poor guy.

Fact remains, you don't know how Bruce Jenner really feels right now or who is telling the truth, friends or those cashing in on him. Perhaps, he is telling different people different things so both camps are telling the truth. Lol, there is no mixed message with that photo. That is just more stupid Internet crap.

Bruce, aka Caitlynn, has a much more serious problem than which toilet to use.

If he becomes a man again he will have to play golf from the men's tees and can't use the ladies tees any longer.

However, I guess if a transgender can switch back and forth, he could always be a lady on his golf days and a man the rest of the time.

Looking back, I might have missed out on a good deal when I was a regular golfer.

It's a false story and stop spreading it.

Just like your Ted Cruz, George Zimmerman pic?

Not at all. I acknowledged that error. This is a different thing and it is 100 percent FALSE. Jenner is NOT changing back to Bruce. Deal with it. BTW, if you want to be on my ignore list, post one more time about that acknowledged error about that picture on a thread unrelated to it, and you'll get your wish.

Oh dear, you poor soul. You do realize close friends of his are saying that, but those cashing in on his circus freak shows and the $$$ being brought in by his drag queen chirade are the ones saying it ain't so. Oh, and everyone adamantly denied the initial rumors about him want to change over to a woman.

So lets see, who would be more credible . . . Those close to him saying he ain't happy with the change (fact is, he will never be happy because gender identity ain't his problem) or those cashing in and laughing behind his bank all the way to the bank saying he has no intention of returning to normal/male.
