Ah yes, when backed into a corner, change the subject entirely. That’s one way to avoid addressing your own contradictions.

Ah, so rather than addressing your own hypocrisy, you shift to a personal attack. Classic deflection. And since when does mentioning life experiences equal arrogance? Seems like you're grasping at straws.

Interesting. Weren’t you the guy who was just speaking out against sweeping generalizations and stereotyping? Or does that principle only apply when it suits you?

I already gave you two examples; you're just not paying attention.

Are you an Israeli? If not, how much time have you spent in Israel? Did you work there? Also, have you ever traveled with Israelis or done business with them? How many years did you spend backpacking around the world, staying in youth hostels, and crossing paths with different nationalities? Bottom line, I can give you examples of how Israelis portray their arrogance and sense of entitlement, but you're not genuinely seeking information—your questions are just rhetorical.

And I can assure you that you're talking nonsense! I have worked in Iceland, Norway, Germany, Israel, Australia, Vietnam, Japan and the USA and never had a problem getting the money that was owed to me in any of those countries with the exception of Israel.

Yes, but when such claims are made about the Israelis, they are more believable. After all, I've been to Russia and China, hitchhiked across India twice, and also hitched in the U.K. and once across the USA. I also lived and worked in Israel for five months and had both of my Israeli employers there try to screw me out of my hard earned money. That being said, I do not think the Israelis are bad people, I think they are just rude and obnoxious.

Whose fault is that? Bottom-line, the Israelis are well-known for their arrogant and rude behavior.

I find it very easy to get things done here in Thailand.

Let me guess, you flunked your history classes in school.....right?

Unfortunately, this is now quite common on the downtown streets of my hometown San Francisco.

What baffles me more than anything else is that neither the Democrats nor the Republicans managed to come up with better presidential candidates.

This mass insanity has got to stop! There is no such thing as a "Transgender Woman."

Destructive choices are a clear sign of decadence and the loss of the will to survive.

Both my son and his girlfriend came by our home all covered in tattoos and gave me quite a fright. Fortunately they were fake tattoos and were washed off after the beach party they had attended was over.

Yawn...z-z-z-z-z-z-z--z-z-z--z

I don't know what you've been smoking, but you might want to ease off of it a wee bit.

I'm a former professional kayaker who's owned several sit-on-top kayaks and they do NOT take on water and sink down like the kayak in the photo if they capsize. The problem, as I see it, had nothing to do with capsizing and everything to do with a hole in the kayak's hull. Also, climbing back onto an undamaged sit-on-top does not require great skill----I've done in rough water to show others how to do it.

The hatch covers are both on in the photo, so there must be a hole in the hull. Also, I find it hard to believe the kayak capsized in those calm seas.

Richard, you might want to put your cards on the table and explain yourself. After all, my name isn't "Henry" and I don't know anyone named "Liza".

I think you need to reread my comment when you sober up because there is absolutely nothing in it that would indicate that I want anyone to believe the Japanese were humane toward their prisoners.

The kayak is a two person "sit-on-top" type kayak that he should have been able to immediately climb back on and start paddling. However, the question in my mind is, why is it so low in the water?

Many years ago when I was a young man, I met an Englishman in Gibraltar who had been a prisoner of the Japanese during World War Two and he had nothing nice to say about them.

Okay, I understand the situation better after reading about international prisoner transfers. https://en.correct.go.th/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/handbook-for-foreign-prisoners-in-thai-prisons.pdf

So, if I understand the situation correctly, the imprisoned Dane would be transferred to a Danish prison if he could come up with 220,000 baht? How exactly does that work?
