So, you would prefer that journalists sit like a congregation listening to a sermon, only allowed to say amen at the end?

Utter twaddle. A good journalist holds the interviewee accountable and does not let the 'interview' become a platform for the interviewee to tell lies. As I said previously the journalist is expected to call out lies and claims that can be proven to be untrue. This 'interview' was allowing a politician to use the media platform for their own (proven false in many instances) claims while financially benefiting the owner of the platform, and by extension the interviewee who receives sponsorship from the platform owner.

I stand by my assertion that Musk is not a journalist. I will even answer your irrelevant challenge to name two journalists. Should we try Woodward and Bernstein; perhaps you remember them from the last time America had a criminally indicted president? A good journalist is like a policeman. There are facts that he knows and can prove, there are facts that he suspects and will investigate and try to prove, and then there are details that speak to motive and method that he collects along the investigative process to reinforce his case. Opinions and political/religious/social bias are irrelevant.

Fully agree. Why would she agree to an interview by Musk, who is not a journalist, when the interview would benefit him financially and he could spend more to support 45?

Not sure which Immigration office you will be using but I would advise that the Jomtien office responsible for change of Visa types was not the most friendly. Very aggressive and rude to my wife and really pushed me to use a 'fast track' service to get the Retirement extension instead of marriage; being stubborn I refused but should have things sorted very soon. As advised by another poster it is better to stick with the Extension for Marriage if that is what the original Non-O was issued for. The extra paperwork is not difficult as you need to visit your local Amphoe to get a Kor Ror 22 stating you are still married and it shouldn't be issued more than 3 months ago. Pictures of you and your wife in various locations of the house is simple, as is the hand drawn map to your house. The major issue to consider that the bank account used to support the application must be in your name only. This causes problems should you pass away without a watertight will and even then your wife may have problems accessing the money quickly. Happy to explain more of my experience with the process, just send me a private message.

But there is a very nice room available at the police hospital now.

Harris is on the 'Campaign Trail' while 45 is on the 'Complain trail'!

So why post on a highly opinionated 'chat group'?

The hub of hubris!

Perhaps 45 could challenge her with tough questions at a debate..........Of course that would be after he's finished running away from questions from the NABJ.

Try going to a Thai language school. There you should meet foreigners who have at least one thing in common with you.

OMG! You really only have a passing acquaintance with logic. If Mussolini was left wing and invented Fascism he then becomes Fascist and NOT left wing. For example - if a chap, let's call him Mohammed, was a Jew and invented Islam he would then, by your logic, be a Jewish Moslem! Or perhaps easier to understand. A certain orange coloured politician was a Democrat but became a Republican President. Is he now a Democrat Republican?

You are getting your name calling terms a little confused. Fascism is defined as an authoritarian and nationalistic RIGHT wing system for government!

Double post

I suppose it's possible. But, I have to ask why would Russia waste any of its disinformation resources or efforts on a website/chatgroup that has no relevance or influence in the rest of the world?

You generate more random numbers than the national lottery!

Every one of your ancestors did!

It's not rational to declare an election rigged without documentation; especially after multiple failed court cases alleging that fact!

My reasons for living where I live are personal, whilst my politics are irrelevant to that choice. Your assumption that I am a leftist is ridiculous in the extreme. Not that it's any of your business but I have never voted for a left wing candidate in my life. An individual should not be defined by which group or person they blindly follow but by their actions as part of society.

You are demanding %age figures when you admit that your original post was made up based on your personal estimates. Sounds fair!

It's 75%.....no, hang on, it's 60%..........no, hang on again, it's just an estimate. You have now completely undermined your original post and shown it to be along the lines of, 'it's not fair, people on here don't agree with me!'. The Trump is strong in this one - in a Yoda voice.

So now it's 60%. Plucking statistics out of the air is a very Trumpian thing to do!

In a later post you state that your figures are taken from observation of posters on this website; it is a strange extrapolation to then claim that 75% of farangs are centre left to far left. It has no basis in a verified statistical process providing empirical research to back up your claim. It is simply your subjective opinion of others on here based on what you do not like to hear. Why does that the fact that, according your claimed statistics, you are outnumbered three to one worry you? Some people are fortunate to have an option on where to live and their choices behind that decision are based on numerous and very different factors; they cannot be claimed to be because of their political leanings. Such fear of the three to one ratio would suggest that you prefer to seek confirmation bias and political echo chambers to help you justify your political and social views. There is nothing wrong with reading opposing opinions and discussing them rationally. Too many resort to name calling as a way to dismiss a person of opposing views without attempting to at least consider their opinions and why they formed them. In a different thread you called one of my posts, 'stupid'. As if simple name calling is sufficient to dismiss/disprove anything written that you don't like! People have a choice on what they read and the outlets that provide the information but again you categorise mainstream media as radical left wing. If that is so, then mainstream people must all be radical left wing. Perhaps your figures of 75% may be accurate?

Thank you for those kind words. I'm sorry if you are unable to recognise humour, but it's sad that your reply is limited to calling something 'stupid'. Basically America under 45 and Project 2025
