  1. Trump is a con artist, very smart one. He will change positions many more times, just to reach new supporters. He never offered any real solution to the US and World issues in terrorism and war. The Homeland security tax is a scam, because no country can stop terrorism. There are so many ways to " invade" a country, cross borders, infiltrate Governments, that it is not possible to stop somebody to do it, specially a suicide bomber. I am not a terrorist but I know how. I am Mexican/American. Imagine a real terrorist, with a lot of money, and motivation? Only a country in War, under Martial Law, a Police State, like East Germany after WW2, may be willing to control it someway, but It is not the case of the United States...yet....only after Trump becomes President.

    The only way to avoid terrorism, infiltration, illegal immigration, crime, violence, etc, it is ending with MOTIVATION.....Building walls is not the way to do it, killing "enemies" or torturing them is not the way to do it, creating misery in other countries is not the way to do it, showing how to "succeed" in life with scams, bankruptcies, and greed, it is not the way to do it. Not on an ideal world.

  2. If you are looking for dogs to breed, have to be imported, with very good documentation and awards, and best for export.

    Australian breed dogs pure or mixed, are very common in Thailand.

    To export, my opinion is that the best Australian breed is the Basenji.

    If you see a soi dog resting with its paws crossing like this...Its have Basenji mix.

  3. Some people have made a thing about Bernie being a Jew but only about 10 percent of Americans say they wouldn't vote for someone just based on being a Jew.

    But he has too MUCH BIGGER political problems.

    A very large percentage of Americans will never vote for an atheist.

    Also, a very large percentage of Americans will never vote for socialist.

    Bernie recently "came out" as not associating himself with religiosity which is short of saying he's an atheist, but it's close enough.

    People, forget this guy.

    It's hopeless!

    Those two things are simply insurmountable going into the general election, if he's nominated.

    Will be a miracle if Sander is nominated by the Dem party. Also will be a miracle if Trump get the nomination when the Rep party will do everything to avoid that. If Trump get the nomination, running against Clinton, he will have a big chance to win the election, but if he have to face Sanders, anything can happens. The only way for Clinton to win will be with Sanders support and campaigning for her, but that may not happens.

    Unfortunately, Trump or Clinton are very bad choices for the Presidency of the United States.

    Nothing will change, probably getting worst.

  4. I just finished reading his website. A very sad history. Ironically he left behind a very important document for medical research.

    He was suffering many serious medical issues, but also combined with a bipolar mental disorder. Bipolar disorder can be very productive or very destructive condition, depending of its treatment. Unfortunately he didn't had the best treatment and counseling...and he forgot to research what most psychologists will do when a patient will declare its suicidal intentions. Just to avoid facing professional liability, psychologists will report it to authorities, that most of the times will not provide good treatment, just taking restrain measures.

    Looks like he was a very smart "inventor". The world still remember famous inventors and scientist, many people with amazing skills in every field, that motivated and inspired generations. Many, if not most of them, were suffering for bipolar disorder. The most recent, Apple's Steve Jobs.

    This young man probably was on the right place to find emotional and spiritual help, even medical help, but sometimes hope alone it is not strong enough to make people keep searching for a "miracle". Pain is not a good counselor.

  5. Trump has Dems and establishment Repubs shaking in their boots...he has not been bought and paid for by the Repubs and this scares them...he will likely actually get some much needed legislation thru Congress which scares the Dems...

    Shudder? Many are jumping for joy!

    Like trying to deport 10 million Latinos, ripping them out of their homes and families, and start a race war? Can't wait!

    Mexican Ex-Presidente Fox is right in saying he's an American Hitler. Help us stop this madness!

    Are you referring to the over "10 million illegal immigrants" from Mexico and Central America that the current administration has allowed to stay in the US. If there is a race war it will be because Obama has fanned the flames with his stance on black lives matter.

    Not sure if it's unworkable but I am more concerned with the drug cartels and the porous border infecting the youth of America than looking politically correct. I would not be against Mexican immigrants being processed properly through access points in the wall if there is one built. You can tell me if you think that is unreasonable.

    It is not possible to block illegal border crossing, just make it more difficult. With money everything is possible, and that apply to drug dealers and terrorist groups. Corruption is also big problem in the US. Money talks.

    Most of "trespassers" are farming workers without job and living in misery in South America, and those people are VERY necessary to the US Economy. California is the richest state in America, and the # 8 World Economy, and it population is 50% Hispanic. No other people is willing to work on the fields of America for minimum wages, when the US unemployment and welfare government benefits brings more than a minimum wage job.

    The same is already happening in Europe and that was the main reason by Germany accepted Syrian refugees.... Looking for low income laborers. The only and big difference is that Mexicans are hard working people, without political and religious issues.

    One of the reasons why factories are leaving the US to use cheap labor, is exactly because its cannot find enough cheap labor in the US. Trump wants those factories back, at the same time he wants to deport the cheap laborers. He may get some robotic equipped factories, but not the ones using human hands. Immigration strict control it is important, but to deport millions of necessary workers just because are not properly documented do not make any sense. By the way, most Trump's proposals doesn't make any sense, and he is not talking about the billionaires's control and monopoly of the economy because he is part of the clan. He is using pure Demagogy targeting the worst of the US sentiments that, unfortunately, is a common "virtue" in more than 50% of the American population. Trump may win the Presidency, with a nasty fight, not only with the Democrats, also with his own party. A shame.

  6. I do not know about other nationalities, but in case of a US citizen is necessary to state its condition (single, divorced, widow) at the Embassy's certification to get Foreign Dept Certification, and to show translated divorce or wife's dead certifications at the Amphur to get a marriage certificate.

    At the same time, many offices offering the services for about 2000 THB, do not care about, just filling SINGLE on the applications to avoid more paperwork and cost. Your choice, but I do not recommend that.

  7. Hummmmm....How about the Ford engines produced in China??? The Chinese employees are paid with bunk beds "accommodations" and vouchers to change it for food and goods on the factory store....and alcohol on the weekend factory party.

    If that is not slavery..what it is?

    Link, please.

    That was reported by Newsweek Magazine many years ago.....

  8. I'd suggest the first step of any contingency plan announced by the IMF should be to bend over and kiss your arse goodbye.

    I don't see anything from stopping what is now an inevitable crash. And I mean this is going to be a cliff face, not a slight dip in the charts. coffee1.gif

    I think central bankers have shot their wad. I got no COLA this year very little interest on my savings although different versions tell me real inflation numbers are closer to 8-10%. I think we seniors have done our share. Yes we are going over a cliff.

    You will like to watch this new movie...http://123movies.to/film/the-big-short-7619/watching.html

  9. Unfortunately Trump will win the Presidency..because Obama/Clinton are Military, Corporations, and Wall Street clowns, even worst than the Bushes....

    Unfortunately Sanders do not have chances if nominated, just because Socialism is a bad word for most Americans...

    Unfortunately Trump is a very smart millionaire and it is playing everybody with his show.....and he will gain the vote of the Americans thinking that the American Dream is to make fortune easily, and in any way permitted by the system....like Trump did with his real estate "empire" and its planed bankruptcies. Trump have an American Dream too..to make trillions during the next 9 years....because billions are not enough for crooks...

    He was short to be mentioned in this brand new movie.....

  10. Too bad she had the accident....hope she fully recovers and soon. But she "didn't forget" to get insurance....she just didn't want to pay for insurance. Too many young people always feel indestructible/think it will not happen to me.

    For a measly sum of money for peace of mind, i cant feel sorry for her owing so much money.. Dont like seeing people hurt, but when will they learn, after all they would be covered in their own home...

    Folks, we must be a little more informed.

    I used to own several travel agencies.

    Travel insurers would pay us 40% commission.

    So many times I made claims for people and by far the majority never got a cent.

    The excuses that I heard from the insurers were unbelievable.

    One reasonable sales rep even expressed to me the as a matter of course the first claim is refused automatically in the hope it will go away.

    You are right. I got travel insurance only one time in my life. They even recuse to paid for a lost luggage. May be good for a VERY BIG case like this one hiring a lawyer to fight with them, but in small cases, probably you are right. They will recuse in every way possible, to see if you will give up.

  11. If you are not a kid anymore...trust your intuition and your feelings about your girl friend....and do what you think is right for yours and her situation.

    Asking for advice here or anywhere about women...not a good idea. Thai women is like everyone in the world.....unpredictable....and no men can say that knows about women...any kind, any nationality, or any culture.

    If you cannot trust your feelings about this one...just keep looking.

  12. Get into Facebook, showing your life on it, and ask friendship to every woman living in your town that you find interesting looking at her pictures and comments.. Nobody will fake English skills or life situation on Facebook, like many do on dating sites. By the way, Facebook is the site where high class Thai women use to find new friends....even some millionaires, and stunning beautiful ones.

    If you do believe that you are a good catch...go for it!

  13. Trump won already. If the party don't "suspend" him, he will be the nominated. If the party "suspend" him, to support Bushy, he will go to court and get all the money he spends back and more.....a lot of more publicity.

    No doubts Clinton will be the Dem nominated and the future President.... Very bad choice..but better than Tramp!

    Sanders? The best choice....but...it will be a surprise...a BIG surprise if he is nominated.

  14. What I learned reading about it, is that HIV infected people can keep normal lives for long time with treatment. The count of HIV infected cells have to be some kind of high to be detected. That why sometimes the test result may be negative one time, and positive others. HIV becomes AIDS when the infection starts to affect normal living functions, infections appears, etc, and most of the times is not reversible with treatments, and ends in death.

    I know HIV + people in the US, some married, having a normal life for more than 20 years. Magic Johnson, the basketball player, is an example.

    For some reason, women may carry the HIV virus, but not developing AIDS symptoms. Also many people may carry the HIV virus without knowing for very long time, and die for reasons not related with the virus. Also still a medical debate about how the virus can be transmitted, because HIV virus was detected also in saliva, in people with AIDS, or with very high accounts of HIV infected cells.
