Two Russian Teens Arrested In Gang Attack On Rival At Pattaya Market
seajae replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
30 onto 1 sounds like the usual thai male idea of a fair fight so they dont lose face when they have the crap kicked out of them, surprised they only used a brick and not machetes and guns to make sure they couldnt lose just as an extra precaution of course, we all know how brave and upstanding some thai males are when it comes to a fight -
a couple of years ago they did a survey on corruption/bribes and 65% said it was fine as long as the got some of it, just goes to show how many thais think and why its so hard to wipe out. Anything to do with govt requires back handers and I have seen this first hand involving huge amounts of money, you only have to look at the pathetic state of the roads etc to see how bad corruption can be, problem is that many thais regard money as the be all and end all, doesnt matter how they get as long as they do and govt jobs/contracts give them the ability to do it. We had a friends husband shot and killed over a govt contract after he won it, killer was never identified, can bet that certain people were paid off to look the other way, surveyors and their families threatened with death if they dont sign off on a project/work done, customs officials threatening to stop exports unless they get a certain percentage, all common place here

Here are the figures : The Weapons Most Commonly Used for Homicides in the United States Handguns: 45.7% Firearms (Type Unknown): 23.9% Other Weapons: 11.4% Knives or Cutting Instruments: 10.6% Hands, Fists, Feet, Etc.: 4.3% Rifles: 2.6% Shotguns: 1.4% How Often Are Assault Rifles Used in Homicides? For how dangerous they are made out to be, assault rifles were not found to be used in homicides very often. Rifles were the weapon of choice in only 2.6% of the homicides that occurred in the United States in 2019, far lower than the 45.7% of homicides that were committed using a handgun. And even though nearly a quarter of homicides were committed using an unknown type of firearm, it’s safe to assume that handguns probably made up a large majority of that number as well. Even if a ban on assault weapons was enacted, it wouldn’t lower the number of assault rifles that are already in the United States, which is currently around the 20 million mark. Personally I believe all those buying guns need to have checks done prior to allowing them to do so, this should be done when they apply for a licence before they are able to buy any gun, problem is a great majority of shootings are done with guns not purchased through a store with a licence or legally. Even in the mass shootings at schools the guns are usually owned by parents etc and were not locked up safely, laws on how guns are stored and who can own them should be the main focus, not taking them away from legal owners. I grew up on a farm so rifles(22's) were always a part of our lives, joined the army and had a marksman badge, kept shooting for many years after leaving, the problem is the people using them, mental problems, criminals/gangs, warped beliefs/political views etc

its the same as road deaths are not a car problem, its the ones that are driving them and in a guns case the ones that are shooting them, the far greater majority of legal gun owners are fine and do not kill people. Those with mental conditions & extremist beliefs along with the criminals/gang members are the main culprits, illegal guns kill a hell of a lot more people than legally owned ones, removing legal guns would not stop the killings, would like to see someone post where any nra members started shooting people, they teach the correct way to handle legally owned guns

really got to laugh at them making these claims when they have offerd bribes to everyone over 16 getting 10,000 baht if they are elected and using the govt money to do it so they dont have to fork out any of it themselves, talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Thai politics is firmly locked into graft and corruption

my wifes elderly mum has cancer and our half sister would beat her up whenever she asked for help(she is bed ridden) so we moved her to our other house and paid for someone to stay with her during the days and my wife would stay of a night but her mum got worse and had to go to hospital. Problem is that family have to take care of them in hospital as nurses only give shots etc, dont do anything with the patient as they do in the western world so family has to feed, give drinks, give medication, change clothing & beds etc. My wife again paid for someone to spend the days with her then would sleep on the floor under her bed of a night after working all day(she manages a large export company), she would have to come home to shower & get ready for work every day so we walled in our back veranda to create an extra room so her mum could stay with us when she was released from hospital. The biggest problem here is the hospitals do not function like western hospitals so family are required to do all the work with the patient which is very hard when their is no family, it is also very hard to find any sort of affordable elderly care facilities, while Thailand claims to be good with the elderly is it a total load of BS, it is all talk and no action, it really shows just how third world the country really is when they refuse to do anything to help their older people have a decent life.

Our bangkaew loves going for walks and once outside the gate(one rai of land) on her leed she is fine, she also loves going for rides on the scooter, all depends how you raise them and their parentage. She will only allow my wife and myself inside our fenceline and to get close to her, she is very loving but the people we got her from were always able to go near her as well, also the vet is fine with her too, you just have to have those you want them to accept be around them a lot when they are puppies/young so they get to accept them but anyone coming into your land/yard needs to make sure they are locked up in their own area first. We have an 8 mtr by 4 mtr roofed and fenced area for our dogs and they stay in there apart from when we let them out to run etc a couple of times a day. Thais do not come anywhere near a bangkaew and when they see one they go the other way, their reputastion is enough to scare them off

you only have to read the above to see just how ignorant many thai drivers are and ignore the road rules, they dont give way and just pull out, they run red lights, it is all ignorance/arrogance and their thinking that they can do as they please

if you can accept living with this then you are thinking with your little head otherwise you would have sorted it out well before now. Maybe try growing a pair and telling her that if this isnt sorted out she is on her own as its not acceptable and getting your own place, there are plenty of good ones out there that would not accept this sort if garbage either

Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records
seajae replied to Scott's topic in World News
you do realize hillary did this also with the russian report she organized and the way she paid for it with campaign funds in the same district(claimed as lawyer fees), it is already being reported so will be interesting to see of bragg will do the same with her, also the statute of limitations for this is 2 years so a bit past it. While this is only for some of the 34 counts the others are federal and not state and the federal side is saying there is nothing to see, very big clutch at straws and will open the gates for republicans doing the same thing to democrats now in retaliation. This was a very stupid move, should have left it for the other charges around the country but bragg wants to be re elected and was following his bosses orders, will turn into a big mistake on the dems side -
Thai politicians reminded of the rules of campaigning
seajae replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Not offer, promise to offer or give away valuables or other benefits to voter, so does this mean ther 10,000 baht bribe offered by thaksins party isnt counted as a vauable/benefit, just goes to show how pathetic EC is if they do not tell them to remove the offered bribe as that is all it is, shows that thai politics is total BS and that corruption will always remain on top here -
NY grand jury votes to indict Donald Trump, sources tell CNN
seajae replied to Scott's topic in World News
and the one/s that leaked this can be jailed for 5 years as it is a major offence to release the findings of a grand jury in NY but I doubt someone following his pay masters requests will do so, only shows dems are shi**ing their pants that trump will win again so are getting very desperate. In doing so they have opened the gates to prosecutions based solely on a persons political leanings and not the law -

we bought a samsung 2 door(side by side) 6 years ago, stopped working last year, had the people look at it and was told that the compressor was no good but they dont malke them anymore, When I messaged Samsung head office as it was still under their 10 year warranty they had someone come and get it and take it away to look at, They then said they would have to attach a new compressor to the outside back of the fridge mening it will no longer fit in the kitchen(as well as look stupid) and they wanted us to pay 9000 baht as well, still waiting to hear from Samsung head office, Now our Electrolux(other house) which is 2 years old(2 door side by side) has packed it in and stopped working, lost everything in it. Electrolux sent out someone to look at it and they said 7 days to get a part(heating element?), still waiting for them to get back to us after 2 weeks. Obviously Thailand has pathetic after sales service and refuse to lose out on repairs so Samsung & Electrolux are 2 I will never recommend for fridges or anything electrical

When the farang do gooders take over
seajae replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
problem is you being part of the woke brigade you refuse to accept the truth about what it does. There is nothing wrong with being gay etc but there is something wrong when people try to push it on very young children which is why certain books are banned because they are far too descriptive in what they push, oral sex, anal sex etc. Kids need to be kids and allowed to learn as they grow and mature, not have woke mantras pushed onto them in an effort to normalize certain things/agendas. -
BangKeaw, find people see her and go the other way, will not let anyone near the place but is a very affectionate baby around my wife and myself. Only trouble is we can have no one else outide the house/in the yard if she is outside the kennel area, they are very loyal to their owners but will not let anyone else near them, although once outside the yard on a leed going for a walk they are fine with everyone around them

Donald Trump says he expects to be arrested on Tuesday
seajae replied to Social Media's topic in World News
hahahahahaham love how all the dem voters wet their pants over this and the other so called cases against him. This was looked at by the previous prosecutor and not taken up because apart from the statute of limitations expiring(2 years) it would be near impossible to prove it was not to keep it from his wife plus it is a federal crime if anything not a state one, also the feds did look at it as well and never did anything because they know they couldnt win. This is just bragg trying to get himself re elected so he can let more criminals/dem voters out of jail, all this goes to show is that dems will crawl in the gutter to get their way even when they know it is all BS and that bragg is simply pandering to the dem voters. Even trumps security have said they will not allow anyone to take/arrest him and it also has to be approved by a judge in the stste where trump is currently and they are not all fanatical dem voters so they will go by the law, it is a federal crime if anything not a state one so bragg is way out of his depth -
several years ago I had dropped some friends at Phuket airport and was on my way home when I pulled up at a set of red lights, lights turned green but the car in front was busy talking to someone standing on the traffic island(was only a single lane)in the middle of the road, I waited for a bit them bipped my horn to get the driver to move and out came the gun and he started waving it around, I am convince they think this makes their tiny appendage appear bigger for them. A lot of thai men seem to appear to have a small dick syndrome where they need to show everyone just how big they think they are by waving guns and knives etc around, all its good for is a laugh

hahahahaha,what do you expect from a poll done by the woke left, another heap of BS from the same people that are destroying the US with all ther BS policies, the greater number of US citizens know that the woke brigade are destroying not fixing anything, has nothing to do with who you vote for but what happens in your daily lives.

hahahahaha, didnt realize it was april fools day, most thais dont even know the road rules, they ignore red lights, they ignore stop signs, they ignore double lines, they dont indicate, they never look in their mirrors, brings back memories of the thai lady in Australia, had her thai license and drove here for 20 odd years and kept failing her aussie drivers test 10 times was the last count years ago, even my wife who is a great driver was amazed at the road users in Australia and how they followed the laws. I actually let her drive most of the time here as she drives like a thai by not following the road rules just like everyone else, the only reason they think they are better is because farangs follow the road rules which makes them look bad and stops them from driving as they usually do, most would never be allowed to drive on overseas roads

Russian fighter jet forces down US drone over Black Sea after intercept
seajae replied to Scott's topic in World News
the drone was in international air space, it was not inside russias air space and until it was russia hd no right to interfere, typical russian belligerence, they really need to stop trying to show how big they think their appendige is but lack of brain power doesnt help them -
Biden says anti-trans laws are 'close to sinful'
seajae replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I have no problem with an adult being trans gender, it is their right, doing so does not make them automatically male or female(which many actually state) but it does help them mentally and most do live a better life for it, I knew a few in my younger years and they were really great people, I always enjoyed their company but they didnt become trans females when they were children and did so using rational adult thinking. Young kids do not have the necessary maturity and rational thinking to have life altering medical procedures, they may feel it is right at the time but as we have seen there are those that have gone through the procedures and have regreted it a lot as they aged and matured but it has been too late for them to reverse what was done to them. There are laws for voting age, drinking age, driving age etc, the same needs to be done in this regard as it does effect the rest of their lives and not being mature enough, being able to think rationally without any peer presure or having enough life experience to make such a life altering decision is needed. Sexual orientation can be obvious at young ages and should be accepted by everyone but that does not involve life/body altering changes, this is a whole different kettle of fish and under age kids do need protection until they can make a mature decision with full knowledge of what is involved, I find it very suspect when adults are pushing for young kids with immature thinking to go through life altering procedures to change their bodies. -
you do realize if you paint the wood black like the numbers you will not be able to see them against a black back ground, it needs to be a different colour so the numbers actually stand out.
