shouldn't be to hard to find them now  

apparently they have not yet reported to the police station as requested and the police are baffled with what to do next.

Unfortunately UK is kind of obliged to give citizenship to children born to British citizens - they are bot old-fashioned that way. It may well have been the way you obtained your citizenship, if you are a UK citizen.

i believe it is the policy of every country to give citizenship to anyone born to its citizens.

Try and think about it in this way, lets say that England didn't have its gun control laws, how far do you think these 3 guys would have got if the citizens could protect themselves?? 

try to think of it this way. america has 5% of the worlds population and almost a third of the worlds mass shootings. you seriously believe more guns means less mass shootings?

conservative england has gun control right. imagine how bad this attack would have been if the 3 guys had access to firearms.

In reference to other countries policies and citizenship : FYI, Naturalized American citizens can have their citizenship recended and then can be deported. Native born American citizens cannot, just prison time or death penalty. No flogging allowed for either.

interesting to know. i thought to get an american citizenship you had to give up your other one. how can they then deport them if that is correct?

ok, enough is enough but whats the answer?  japan has a very effective policy but it is too late for that. even thailand has a good policy of not giving out citizenship very easily. many grumble but i agree with it. put people on long term visas and kick them out if there is any trouble. if a number of people in one religious center make a problem close that center down.

would have thought burning the trash at very high temperatures is the answer. sorting the trash is labor intensive but labor is cheap. it is environmentally friendly and the ash is a building material that can be used in cement products. i am guessing the initial investment is the stumbling block.

Good luck. Under Trump new student loans will cost more.

The interest rate for undergraduate students is 4.45% for the 2017-18 school year, up from 3.76% for the current year. Graduate students can borrow at a rate of 6%, up from 5.31%. And for graduate students and parents who take out PLUS loans, the interest rate will be 7%, up from 6.31%.

i just watched a documentary on the situation on student loans in  the US. students are also borrowing off private firms for up to 18%. student loans are going to cripple many financially for years to come.

just get the students to pay back the 1.3 trillion in current student loans. can fix up all the crumbling bridges with that money. easy.

would like to see a poll where people are asked if they understand future elections will be controlled by the army who select who will run. then if the winner does not do what the army wants they can have power taken back at any time.

She can do both you know.I suppose you'd just let things be eh?

yep. live in thailand for a while and you have to adopt the 'let it slide' mentality or you will not enjoy your life or you will end up a basket case.

like another poster said medical tests have a margin for error. thats life the world over, not just thailand. accept the situation and move on.

if i was her i would be celebrating, not litigating.

ok i have been juggling 4 thai employees for years. seems you just need to be paying their social security and have them there for the photos when you are re newing your paperwork. i gave up trying to have 4 thais working for me and ended up with 2 and paying their wives social as well.  if anyone does a spot check you just say some of your staff are on holiday.

confusing. foreigners are not allowed to buy houses in thailand so they must be talking about condos which are over supplied in almost all of thailand. what am i missing?

After BG posted the pics, the area became a tourist attraction. 

 

Why destroy a no-maintenance tourist attraction?

 

put up a toll booth instead. 

same as prostitution. they need to be left the way they are.

have to wonder how much student load debt thailand has and how much is outstanding. these details seem to have been forgotten in the article. america is now carrying 1.3 trillion in student debt and with the lack of professional jobs available many people will never pay them back.

i would suggest renting for the first 10 years before considering buying. wish thats what i had done.

would have got more comments if he did it in thailand.

thailand would be a much nicer place-if there were more people around like him...i pick up rubbish every morning when i go for a walk,,,,the strange looks i get from the local people--are unreal....they should implement a fine system for rubbish xdroppers....

there is a fine system but it is only applied to foreigners dropping their cigarette butts because there is no where to put them.

Are you seriously suggesting that either can ever be won?

 

A far as Afghanistan is concerned, it's time that ALL foreign troops were withdrawn completely. Leave them to resolve their own problems the Afghan way. They've been doing it for many, many years.

 

In fact, the only periods that the country has ever enjoyed any peace (at least, relatively speaking) was when they were left to their own devices.

of course neither can be won. l agree its time to get out of the middle east. there will be a few years of pain  but it would be for the long term good.

which war will be won first, the war on drugs or the war on terror?

trump is a character.  he has said loads of funny stuff including how he would not go into politics because thats what stupid people do. he seems to be able to say anything and get away with it. that is a rare skill. going to be interesting to see what he is able to do with the rest of his 4 years. i genuinely believe america can not be saved from the slippery slope it is on. interest rates cant be lowered and there must be a limit to the stimulus spending. i just hear student debt alone is 1.3 trillion dollars. how do you save for a house when you can even get a decent job to pay of your student loan?

well setting a good example that will not be followed. i always wondered how thais can be so proud of their country while treating it like a dump. just hope garbage gets more useful in the future for generating energy and for recycling.
