No, he thought that the "parties" would be considered as an office meeting because it was a group of office workers  who gathered in their work office to have a few glasses of wine after work on a Friday and therefore he didnt think that it would contravene any rules or regulations 

It was to celebrate his own birthday on 19th June 2020 and he thought it was an office meeting?!

Be careful with your libel. The companies who made the machines that were 100% accurate like to sue clowns. Even newsmax had to admit they made up their nonsense, lest the suit would bankrupt them.

No libel intended, although I have often been called a clown.  My response was intended as a sarcastic dig at those who still dispute the outcome of the election using totally discredited arguments.

Oh and it aint just the USA, the UK comes a close second, see Myanmar and Hong Kong... Uk and US all over that.

If you are going to list countries involved in geopolitical interference don't be selective; you only show your bias.  Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Israel are all involved in various types of political, economic, religious and social interference.  This is carried out through the use of debt traps, heavyweight threats, physical violence, spying, corruption and social media engineering (propaganda).

Just recently, there's been much too much emphasis put on the mistakes of law enforcement and how those contributed to the RESULTS of the horrible outcome . Right now, we (US citizens) need to stay focused on the CAUSE of the problem - the alarming proliferation of military-style guns among the general public. We've got to do something to return our laws to support the intent of the 2nd Amendment, the enabling of a people's militia, which in these days and times I interpret to be our National Guard, not a weapons locker in everyone's home. ????

Whilst I agree with the general gist of your post, there can never be too much emphasis on the mistakes of law enforcement in a modern society.  It all adds up as part of the problem.

Tell your wife you have a mia noi and she will get them sharpened.

And Trump is now using the murders of the children as part of his campaign with Cruz blaming the murders on absent fathers, video games etc- anything but guns!

If they overturn the law on abortion there will be a lot more absent fathers!

He made a deal and now he needs to honour it.
 

He’s trying to wriggle out of the deal and I truly hope he fails to do so. 

If you agree to buy a car from me with a V8 engine for a certain price, but later find that it's a V6 will you still want to pay the original price?

DNA samples work very well.  Perhaps they need some advice from another location?

Out in the wild, in the jungle . 

Male tigers fight each other to be leader of the herd and being leader of the herd gives them the right to breed with the females .

   When one tiger fights and kills a rival tiger and becomes leader of the herd, he will also kill any cub tigers , he will do this because it encourages the female tigers to breed again .

   Instead of letting a new herd leader kill all the cubs , people go and rescue the cubs and bring them up themselves , and to pay to for , they open Tiger kingdom where people  can pay an entrance fee and this goes towards paying for the food .

  Would you prefer to just let the new tiger herd leader kill all the baby tigers or would you support people rescuing those soon to be killed tiger cubs ?

Tigers do not live in herds, or whatever collective noun you wish to apply.  Tigers choose to live in solitude and isolation and are very territorial; they only fight and kill others to protect their territory.  The captive conditions they are forced to live in are totally contrary to their natural way of life and will cause stress, anxiety and behavioural problems.

A few years back they had 3 or 5 tigers in the Elephant place in Ayutthaya plus a handful of delightful cubs. My daughter and her bf are hoping to come over around Christmas time assuming Thailand Pass is abandoned along with those onerous Insurance requirements that are sending tourists elsewhere.

 

Last time she came she was able to play with and bottle feed cubs and even cuddle/stroke an adult tiger both in Ayutthaya and also in the Safari Park and Open Zoo in Kanchanaburi. 

 

I am not inviting comments from the morons, muppets and tree-huggers here who got the Tiger Temple closed down and the tigers seized by the Government - whereupon 2/3 of them died. Well done guys - try thinking before shouting next time. As you can see I really have no patience with these people who would rather see tigers and former working elephants destroyed for economical reasons than allow them to be used to earn their food and keep with tourists. You can post your toxic comments elsewhere thanks.

 

No, I would like to take my family somewhere hopefully not to far from Bkk where my wife and I live so they can have the experience of a lifetime not permitted in the over-regulated UK with it's "sniffy" H & S and others sticking their oar in stopping conker playing etc and banning peanuts (they probably got laws against peanuts too!).

Seems a little strange that you seek information and assistance from a public forum but wish to specify who can respond; perhaps you should try Google?  Judging from the responses so far a significant number of the members here do not fall within your category of acceptable opinions and have produced sound logical reasons why the activity you seek should be avoided.  I'm surprised the moderators have not removed your question as it obviously insults several of the members of this forum.

Taking the Philippines as an example, figures suggest that approximately 70% of the adult population are unbanked and rely entirely on a cash or barter process.  The digital processing of funds will make these people a priority and there are already developments in the field of virtual banking looking to include this large population group.

Inclusion is always good but there should be serious concerns in respect of the financial knowledge and computer skills needed by this large segment of people to protect themselves against the various digital frauds, scams and tricks happening every day.  Currently, financially experienced and computer literate people in western countries are regularly falling prey to the scammers and losing significant amounts of money as evidenced by published statistics. 

When considering this unbanked population of people in the Philippines they are far more likely to fall victim to online scams and any amount they lose is significant and quite possibly devastating as they do not have the reserves to deal with even a small loss when they currently live a day-to-day cash existence.

Digital payment is pushed by the financial sector due to the potential savings in staff and real estate, they have yet to show themselves as effective in the protection of customers using digital payments.

With cash you can only lose what is in your wallet, not everything you have.

The media reported him as saying he was rich, so why did he need to get mixed up in this illegal business. 

Perhaps that's how he got rich?

Childish?  Thank you, it looks like I am maturing then.
