    Okay, do you think that America should scrap the "One China policy" ??  :smile:

    What, go ahead and recognise that there are two Chinas on planet earth ?  Or, how about close down the US Embassy in China, and re-open it in Taiwan ?  As in, have an embassy in China, have it in Taipei ?    :smile:

     

     

     

    The US recognized Taiwan up to 1979.

    I was in Vietnam as a soldier when the U.S.  new Military Payment Certificates (MPC) which was not supposed to be black marketed was changed to a new design.

    Some of the Vietnamese bar owners had full sea chests of the old design .

    I was at a site where a bar owner had 20,000 dollars in the old design MPC and offered anyone who had the new design 20,000 Dollars in the old design to anyone who would give him 10, 000 dollars in the new design one day in advance of it being made legal.

    There was no one who could do that as the new design was impossible to get one day before it was legally issued. Security was just to tight  with the new design notes.

    So this bar owner just took his 20,000 dollars in the old design MPC and burned it in the street as it was worthless the next day.

     

     

     

     

    If he had those MPC's I assume he received them as payment for services delivered. Why was he not able to exchange them with the US army?

    There are numerous public ally available scourges confirming the Trump did not receive the majority of eleigible citizen voters endorsement. You are looking to deny the facts. Try reading. That said, neither major political party presented viable candidates to win my vote. Our system has Trump as President-Elect ... that is fact. He is elected without the majority of eligible citizen votes, that too is fact.

     

    I don't deny anything, especially not that Trump won the election, and he will be the next president of the US.

    Wrong, the Thai ID card gets you Thai  rates of entry to public parks and venues and even at the local Hospitals they ask for the Campoo/ pink card and I get great discount on services and  ++=

    and can be used  instead of your passport for ID purposes, Police etc.

     

    Ok, you know everything better, so why start a thread with a question?

     

    No need to reply, you are on ignore already.

    I need cash money for whatever reason,  I have a new owned and registered (3 year old Pajero SUV) as colleteral,  and the wife said I cannot as foreigner get a loan in Thailand  , unless she or another Thai person acts as  guarantor

    I have now the new  ThaiID card  for foreigners and a Yellow Tabian Baan book, live  in Thailand for  30 years

     

     

    That is correct, you will always need a Thai guarantor.

     

    Your Thai ID card and yellow book are both just a proof of address, nothing more.

    There is a strong wiff of male bovine feaces in the air along with more than a hint of desperation. Give it up ..........please. YOU said illegals are now being paid to vote. I am calling BS. Lets have some evidence, rather than some random thought plucked from the enormity of Anthony5's mind.

     

    How about the elections were hacked by the Russians?

     

    There you go, I'm sure that is more acceptable for you.

    So not only are Mexicans rapists, murderers and drug dealers they are all also very very stupid.

     

    Risking their lives, all the money they had and incarceration, they fled over the border, have set themselves up working illegally so that they can live a better life, they keep themselves 'grey' to ensure they do not attract attention to themselves, THEN they risk it all so they can break their cover and go out on masse, risking a felony crime and VOTE in a political election. If you believe this then not even a tin foil hat can protect you, you are simply too far gone.

     

    Illegals don't vote because they want to vote, they vote because they get paid for it. ll part of getting that better life.

    Certain sois in Pattaya are still privately owned and can generally be spotted by the poor state of the road surface and the penchant for businesses along these roads to stake out their claim on the sidewalk and up to half-way across the soi. I understand that Chaiyapoom is one and these and all the sois from 13/1 (Yamato) through 13/4 and a half (Pattayaland 3). There was a horse trade with City Hall several years ago where some degree of 'control' was signed over to City Hall which enabled garbage collection but when it comes to flash floods and the turds that accompany them on Soi 13/2 (Soi Post office), the city management don't want to know.

     

    If the soi has a number I doubt very much it is still private.

     

    Chaiyapoom might be a privare soi, but I don't think any of the sois between second and beach road are private, and for sure no government agency like the post office would open on a soi with private access.

    I could be wrong, but aren't don't most of the illegal immigrants reside in states won by HRC? For example, given that there was little doubt California would go to the Dems, with or without the alleged illegals voting,  what would be the point of risking everything in order to vote?

     

    Then of course the question is, WHY is there so little doubt that Hilary will win the states with all the illegal immigrants.

    It's no different to what Trump was doing when he was on the campaign trail: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/jun/29/trump-campaign-donations-foreign-politicians

     

     

    Since the article you linked to is 5 months old, it should be known by now if he actually received and accepted donations from foreign governments.

     

    Did he?

     

    How is the complaint going? Was it accepted?

  11. Yes that is what I tried in the first step, but then I would have no video signal.

    In the second step I used both power sources, but only a single set of wire going from junction box to outdoor unit.

     

    In the second step I would have video signal but no audio.

     

    In the diagram, outdoor should read indoor and vice versa.

     

    There is only 1 outdoor unit and 2 indoor units in my system.

     

    The issue is with the outdoor unit.

    You made the whole system take on feed correct ?

    Not sure what you mean, as I said earlier, there are 2 feeds going from the power supply to the junction box in the perimeter wall, from there are 2 x 2 wires going up to the outdoor unit.

    First I tried 1 feed connecting to 1 set of wires going from the junction box to the unit, and connected grey/red to on wire and black/black to the other wire.

     

    In that case the unit got activated but I didn't get video signal indoors.

     

    Next I connected both feeds to the single set of wires going from the junction box, and in that case I would get video signal but no audio.

    Taiwan is not a legal country. It never was. It is unfortunate that you  have no knowledge of the history of China and of Taiwan. 

     

    It looks as if you only know the history you want to know.

     

    Because China INVADED Taiwan after WWII and claims it belongs to them doesn't really mean that is so.

     

    Or do you also agree that the Spratly islands belong to China, as they claim it?

     

    In the mean time, take some time to read up on the history of Taiwan.

    Who knows the reason/s why the Trump transition team agreed to set up the phone conversation, but it's a major breach of protocol with the current Administration and not a 'good look', should of waited until after 20/01/17.

     

     

     

    As long as Trump isn't inaugurated he has nothing to do with protocol, and can call anyone he wants, or do you say that US citizens can't call Taiwan citizens?

    Hmm. I would think you should be able to get away with just using 6 of the 8 wires specified, condensing 4 wires carrying power to 2 wires feeding both sides of the wired circuit    ...and it should work unless they are doing special signalling over the 2 discrete power wire pairs (where combining then would mess with the segregated signaling).

    The black" video signal power ground" and black "video power ground" wires are internal connected, as I can measure with a multimeter.

     

    The strange thing to me is that it's the audio part doesn't work properly, as I would have expected that it would have been the video part.

    Why would an illegal immigrant risk everything to vote? There is nothing in it for an ilegal immigrant to go out and purchase fake id  and to surreptiously register to vote.

     

    Why do you even think the immigrants are rigging the voting, they have nothing to win or lose?

     

    They would also not need to purchase any ID papers, as they would be supplied by the ones having an interest in it.

     

    I don't say, and never said that the US elections are rigged, I'm just responding to a question who it would be possible for them to vote given the fact that dead persons are still on the register.

    And how would one know if prices weren't crashing. Houses on the Darkside are very hard sell. In my village of 70 odd houses, four years ago, nothing was for sale or rent, now probably 15% is for sale or rent.

     

    Only posters with a vested interest in property prices spruik the property is great line, everyone else knows the real story.

     

    When I bought my land in Nongplalai in 2009 I paid 950K for 1 Rai and nothing was for sale in the approximate 2.5km long soi.

     

    I know this for sure since I had a Thai person from that neighbourhood go door to door to find out who wanted to sell, as I liked the area that much.

     

    Since then the price of the land has gone up every year, and currently they are asking 4M for a rai, and don't accept lower offers.

     

    Today each and every plot has a for sale sign on it, but since 2009 I'm aware of only 1 sale of a 2 rai plot, to a foreigner who bought it for resale.'

     

    He bought more than 2 year ago and first tried asking 8M for the 2 rai. When that didn't work he split in 7 or 8 smaller plots.

     

    That was about 2 years ago, and so far has sold none of the plots.
