    Who knows if anything is real these days. Certainly you can never trust any photo now. And today I was sent this AI-generated video of Trump. 

    That is so funny, You made my day !!!

    The voice is perfect but the images show the doctoring specially on the lips,....

    Undoubtedly AI is going to be very dangerous for democracy in the coming months !!! 

    Thank you for posting

    He may be telling the French what the French want to hear. The French (a timorous lot with no balls nowadays alas) are "worried" about cannabis liberalisation in Germany too. The difference is, the German premier is not going to promise re-criminalisation on a French channel just so that the French give him kudos.

     

    What we need is more major countries pulling the plug on prohibition so that prohibition countries feel increasingly isolated.

    As of today I heard on the radio, it's legal in Germany ! and I hope it's not a April joke !?

    I see recreational drugs, tobacco, now cannabis, as having young Thai men, some that are still kids, as main users.

    They start early morning to come get their bottle of cannabis, hemp products, cigarette in the mouth, as these immature men need something like that to make them feel part of a crowds, and feel like men. And a lot of money is spent on these products. Just one seller close by here, bought a new Honda car, and a new motorbike as well.

     

    Men that are already immature, not wanting to take responsibility for their actions, even responsibility for children that they father along.

    Now the number of cannabis shops are on a course to surpass the number of 7-11 shops.

     

    I do not see anything good coming out of that in Thailand.

     

    Perhaps the government had good intentions at the onset of the liberalization of cannabis, and what they see makes them question their first decision...

    Hm,...Not the same government.

       Its a war, civilians get killed in all wars .

    Do you expect Israel to any different to every other Country ?

    The enemy combatant/civilian death ration is very low , some claim to be the lowest on record , that is the number of civilian killed compared to enemy combatants .

       The ration is often 4 civilians killed to one enemy combatant 

    Hm,...And how many enemy combatants were amongst the 11.000 children murdered !???

    But he chose the dark-side instead of carving out a legit niche market for himself... 

    from the original article !!! 

    ...."One of his co-defendants, reseller Florian R., said that he would buy fake Rolexes for 200 euros and sell them on for 400. Asked by the presiding judge why he didn't charge more, Florian R. said: "These are fakes, I don't cheat people." The verdict in the trial is due on March 20.",....

    This article is so poorly written, it's hard to understand how he ran it from Thailand. The article says he oversaw production oof  watches, but later says they paid $200 and sold them for $400. 

    Here's the original from France ! It's in English

    I recall once reading in a previous iteration about casinos in Thailand that locals would be barred from play/entry. I should hope so. At the one near me in Toronto, Canada, there have been a number of suicides by "addicted" players. One sad story worthy of mention is, a frequent player took her savings for her daughter's wedding to the casino on her final occasion thinking she could increase the $10,000 wedding fund. Subsequent to losing it all, she hung herself in the casino washroom.

    Others have offed themselves in the parking lot after a bad loss.

    I would hate to think of poor Thais losing the rent, mortgage or grocery money at the local casino. 

    There is a story about a casino in south of France or Monaco. They have special people walking on the parking and in the park, to watch for any suicides and to move them to another place,...

    Frankly, Thailand and especially Phuket deserves a big clean up. Whether Thai or foreign construction companies/ investors, Phuket and its once paradise beaches are being destroyed. Too many crooks , thieves and scammers , druggies and good for nothings. Ugly cheaply built condos everywhere, and Villa ghettos.  They have had free range, if ever a crackdown was needed , it’s now , and it’s on Phuket.  Local authorities, government , do the right thing, do your job. 

    Hm,...Look at it this way, if Phuket and Pattaya attract all those dodgy ill intentioned people ?,....it is good that they are concentrated there in Sodom & Gomorrah and leave the rest of Thailand Alone,...plenty of beautiful, wonderful, peaceful places around,...
