Ukraine, THE most corrupt nation on earth. Home to NIH funded biolabs that are weaponizing viruses. Home to sex trafficking. Home to the money-launderers that take our close to a TRILLION dollars by now, and send 25% back to our politicians, CIA, FBI and others. I LIVED in Florida during the Oct 1962 Nuclear World War scare. We had TANKS up and down the streets. Tank tracks were on the roads for YEARS after that. Then an agreement between JFK and Khrushchev... Nikita took out his missiles, and we BOTH ( USA and USSR/Russia) agreed to never EVER put military PEOPLE, WEAPONS whether by one another OR BY PROXY on one another's doorstep, front or back. PERIOD!! EVER!!! (See Cuba was PROXY. So that was made VERY clear by JFK...not even by PROXY...like now in Ukraine is proxy for the USA.) We have lied to the world, most importantly our "leaders" have lied to us AGAIN to get us in a war. Gulf of Tonkin, weapons of mass destruction and so on. Just get us to war. And we have been creeping up to Russia's doorstep inch by inch for decades. If Ukraine becomes a member of NATO, that will then become the same as Russia in an actual war with the USA. THAT is what you dumb cucks want? The USA is wrong WRONG WRONG. And I hope Putin goes in there and destroys ever fckn biolab in Ukraine, puts a stop to the sex trafficking, and the money-laundering,. WE (the USA) caused an illegal ouster of the duly elected people cuz we didn't like them. The people in East Ukraine VOTED ( yeah that democratic process we in America hold so dear) to join Russia cuz...they are all Russian! So the illegal Ukraine gov't started killing the Russians in east Ukraine.... and Russia said FCK THAT NOISE!!! And just like that, the USA idiots have us on the verge of a world war with nukes. To quote Tom McDonald "No more plastic straws in paper. Just paper straws wrapped in plastic. CONGRATULATIONS!" If it wasn't for stupid, America would have NO personality traits. Oh, I spent 30 months in Vietnam in an actual war. MILLIONS of Vietnamese died. 58,000 Americans died. I got piss and bags of <deleted> thrown at me each time I came home (3 times). I pay attention to the warmongers who get rich creating wars for our young men die in so they can get rich. We have domestic issues we need to sort out. For the historical illiterate, Russia has NEVER invaded Europe. Yet has endured 2 MASSIVE invasions that killed millions of Russians. Napoleon and Hitler. Both paid dearly for their idiocy. So what is all this fearmongering "Putin will roll across Europe!" nonsense. I am so very tired of the democrats and their <deleted>. Giving BILLIONS to ILLEGAL ALIENS as good Americans lie dying of hunger and exposure in our streets. Thank GOD that is ALMOST over. If they don't fck up and get us in a nukes war.

73 year old LONG time mc rider. Just YESTERDAY, I was telling my wife, when I ride my MC every car sitting ready to turn left in front of me, every car at the stop sign ready to pull out, EVERY traffic light, I make eye contact with the person in the car/truck. If I dont get eye contact, and then get the message through their eyes they see me I slow down and REALLY crank up my spidey sense. It has saved my life dozens of times. This mc rider NEVER even LOOKED. You see the others stop . In about 200,000 miles of mc riding, through 5 motorcycles, one accident. I was in a school zone stopped behind a school bus that was stopped by a traffic cop. I was stopped, both feet on ground, 7:30 am, and WHAM! some lady hit me from behind. I ended up my ass on her windshield. A pretty young mom, in her house coat. Cops came... She got NO TICKET! I lost my friend as HE was stopped at a traffic red light, and a pretty young girl hit HIM , but she was going about 40 mph ...killed him. SHE didn't get a ticket. I had a friend in the PD, asked him about it. he said the cop told others, he "didn't wanna ruin the girls life." Yeah....well she ruined my friend's life. There should be ( and are in some places ) a delay between when one way goes red, and the other goes green. Maybe 2 seconds. But for Pete's sake... LOOK! The people in cages are out to kill you! ACT LIKE IT! STAY ALIVE that way.

Remember when the Chinese bus operators were charging undermarket prices and the domestic bus companies asked for help, for protection from the unfair unlicensed cut throat Chinese bus companies? Well, nothing happened. So bus companies resorted to cutting corners, and pressuring drivers to maintain a brutal schedule that was intolerable for the drivers and the machines. That's it, in a nutshell. Next on the agenda? As the investigation gets closer to the bribery, this brilliant investigator will get re-assigned ....or told to concentrate on the designated scapegoat, and hit the one bus company exec hard. Fortunately for these officials, they have their scapegoats...the driver and the company executive! That is akin to saving a couple of people from dysentery in a town with their outhouses emptied into their drinking water supply. And doing NOTHING about the outhouses dumping human excrement into the drinking water supply. Most people will be satisfied that these 2 evil agents of Satan will have been dealt with in a most serious manner. They will destroy these 2 puppets, and the puppet masters will just slip out the back, their entire apparatus intact, and ready to put into action next it will be a mining disaster, or a train derailment, or a bridge collapse, or a dam bursting, Always there will be a scapegoat, and the BIG scapegoat today is "CLIMATE CHANGE!".

Coached college female softball team. One girl late for practice told us how an unfair ticket was the problem. Explain, says I. She was following a car ( closely) coming to an intersection. 3 through lanes, 2 ;left turn, 1 right turn. She was in left lane ( no lane to her left yet as the left turn lanes were up ahead) The car immediately in front of her moved to the lane to turn left, and right in front of my player was the last car ...stopped...in a long line of cars stopped waiting for the light to change. She gave that driver a Prestone Enema, and whined it wasn't her fault. OK. Whose fault WAS it? You were the only moving car. He was stopped behind a car thaT WAS STOPPED. aND HAD BEEN. stopped. You hit him. From behind.While he was stopped for a red light. I told her she was driving carelessly (not recklessly) and should have gotten a ticket. She loudly exclaimed "That's EXACTLY what the MFer did. He gave me a careless driving ticket!" You can lead them to water....

Yeah I ALMOST understand. Dashing ( with haste...an EMERGENCY!!!! MUST get to hospital!) ...But , hold on. I need to stop this rush to the hospital in the middle of an emergency to have a spirited argument with a citizen of the nation of which I am a guest. This may take a few minutes, honey. This emergency ...oddly enough....just became back seat to ...'I require an argument with another driver !" Must have been some kind of super-duper emergency eh? Pull over, stop. 30 seconds? Open door, walk to other car. 30 seconds? Rant at driver, who may be terrified. She(he?) may have no idea of what's going on. Finally acknowledges the mouth-foamer at the door. 45 seconds? It takes a bit for the emergency person to feel they won the confrontation, and does a"congratulatory strut back to his "emergency" 60 seconds? Starts car, looks around, finds his re-entry point into traffic and continues his "emergency" trip to the hospital 45 seconds? That's 3 mins 30 seconds. That is no emergency. That is an entitled person who thinks their lack of planning by themselves, now constitutes an emergency on the surrounding traffic. Pffft In an actual emergency, you would have your window down and be gesturing to all that you needed help and understanding. If you descend to anger immediately upon meeting with typical traffic issues.... you are an entitled dip wad. I would bet my paycheck that if the police ever found this person, no matter the circumstances....he would be charged somehow.

Running a palm plantation is NOT easy living. To make that commitment, (and obviously there is a family involved), my opinion is....they were there, had been there running their plantation, and for the love of all things holy, permit them to stay. I doubt he and his family have a plan "B". This truly is a land of contrasts. I have been here 8 years (after 2 years of military service in 1970-72) and STILL have a difficult time reconciling the evil that resides here. I suppose it is my fault ( the difficulty reconciling, NOT the evil) as this evil permeates the entire earth. My heart simply breaks for this family. Would anyone in this ASEAN News community be willing to help this family in some small way? I could swing 1000 baht and not upset my monthly budget. I am not a big poster here, am not proficient in computer tasks. Someone set it up...? Or am I just a maudlin old man?

Well, all farangs are equal....just some are more equal than others

As an American who carries a Sig-Sauer while home...yes, he woulda got the power portable hole puncher treatment, should he try to enter the car through a window.

Don't much care. Aliens here are certainly not as bad as the current crop of ILLEGAL ALIENS Americans must endure back in the States. I left my Sig-Sauer in America when I came here. It is coming out of storage the moment I open my door at home.

Big Mike "Obama", after 8 years of seeing Barry ruin America was asked "why don't YOU want to be President?" Big Mike said....."I did NOT like the way his dictate."

Cracks me up when someone asks a simple question, then, instead of answers....they get questions...or irrelevant info. Who cares WHY some wants to know the deposit? I know I want to know. I live in the middle of nowhere, ran out of gas cooking, and wanted to know the deposit to have another tank. That way when I run out, I have plenty of time to get another bottle, instead of all cooking ceasing until I get more gas. Does that satisfy the people that instead of simply answering a legitimate question they ask questions ( a pet peeve)...?? Just answer the freaking question or don't say anything . So, for the person gracious enough to actually answer that question, I thank you.
