Brexit: UK's divorce bill from EU could rise to £42.5bn
pegman replied to CharlieH's topic in World News
Obligations my good man, obligations. One can't go to a restaurant then eat and dash. One's bill needs to be paid. -
Trump ex-adviser Bannon convicted of contempt of U.S. Congress
pegman replied to Scott's topic in World News
Depending on the length of his incarceration, if any, he could be an inhabitant of the Washington jail. I'm not sure 6 shirts will give him enough protection there. It took a whole 3 hours of deliberation. They must of had the free lunch before taking 15 minutes to decide this open and shut case -

Peanuts compared to the long-term losses from losing the European Union financial services industry. Makes one wonder what the heck they were thinking.- 105 replies

Really? Remember what V.P. John Nance Garner said about the office: "not worth a bucket of warm <deleted>". The position has never been about much. Other than the odd exception like the evil Chaney who had a doofus in the oval office.

Be careful of what you wish for. Ms Harris is far more competent than depicted by the American corporate media smear job that's been taking place.

So now that it's down to two who do the Brits on here think wins the membership vote? -
That's great. I hope you get to take advantage of it for a very long time. I was a labour union leader for a long time and I consider increasing my members monthly pension benefit as the best achievement I accomplished. There is nothing better than a worry free end of life. Especially if spent in Thailand

We have 2 pensions not 1. CPP & OAS and our contributions are much, much less. The CPP is similar to American social security but our ceiling on earning we pay on is half that of the American system. So we get "taxed" at half what Americans pay. Our socialized medicine is paid for by general gov revenues. Noting to do with our gov pension plans. Another difference in our two countries is that Canada has an actual pension fund where our contributions go with an investment board.

Naklua parking garage near Naklua seafood market is 80% complete
pegman replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
I expected it to be on some of the little available green space rather than tearing down some of the ramshackle shacks on the north side of the market -

Man charged with raping Ohio girl, 10, who was denied abortion

Strongly disagree. The majority of Thais have not supported the green uniforms running gov. Whatever anybody thinks of them the Thaksin clan would have won every election in the last 20 years had they been free and fair. -
Normal like when Trump supporter with no criminal record Stephen Paddock shot dead 60 people?

I expect something like a rollback of the machine gun ban by the SCOTUS as they are not mentioned in the Constitution

True, according to the Economist Group's Democracy Index the USA is ranked as a "flawed democracy". Same as Thailand for those counting. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_Index -

I wonder how many who want abortion laws are religious? My suspicion is 100%. This is all about imposing their faith based beliefs on others. -

American women are welcome to leave their theocracy and have an abortion in Canada. We treat abortions as a medical issue between a woman/girl and her doctor. Therefore there are no laws restricting them in any matter nation wide
