I dunno where you are from, but where I come from tax and social security are two different payments. They are not the same thing. Generally, to get social security you have to be working, not merely paying tax on capital gains or foreign income. That said, I despise taxation in general and socialism is inherently evil, IMHO

I bet this doesn't happen.

China, lol. You ever been?

What's wrong with DipEd, PGCE, or MEd?

I was 17. Shagaluf. Boys holiday. Some of us were 16. For girls, I dunno, and in Europe now I definitely dunno. It's like Africa or the Middle East these days. Would you let your kid go to Somalia or Afghanistan on their own? That said, I wouldn't want to raise a kid, especially a girl, in Europe these days. Thailand is safer.

I don't think so. Many of them just like what they do.

Someone's jealous.

Exactly, the 600 gram steak is 1600 calories and didn't fill you, whereas the satiating 300 gram steak n potatoes would be around 1000 calories (if you had 2 medium sized spuds)

Ketchup, mustard, pickles, and onions are necessary. Nothing else, except maybe bacon.

It's a fact. It's not my argument. It's science. You are also missing the point: boiled potatoes fill you up longer in relation to their calorie density compared to other foods (e.g. nuts, olive oil, butter, mayo, bacon, sausage, etc. etc.) The point isn't that potatoes are low in calories - that's not what I said - but they satisfy your hunger longer in relation to the calories they have. Try using your brain when you read. P.S. Then you go on to mention money vs calories in WW2, which doesn't refute what I said, in fact it supports what I said: you don't need to eat a lot of potatoes to feel full. 555+

Higher taxes....NOT!!

Women are shallow in their relationship choices, so I go the other way.

Each to their own.

Not exactly. Olive oil and nuts, for example, are very calorie dense, but not carb heavy at all. Even nuts have a low glycemic index, due to being mostly fats and fiber. They aren't filling though so you end up having to eat more calories to be satisfied. On the other hand, potatoes and porridge oats are very carby but they rate high on the satiety index, meaning that you don't need to eat much of them to be full and stay full, in fact boiled potatoes rank #1 on the satiety vs calorie index. Not saying it would be healthy to live off boiled potatoes only, but you would lose a lot of weight and not feel hungry.

Guns save lives too

Yes, I will.

We are talking about low calorie diets.

Why do you need her to take care of you? We probably do; I am a free man. Like most of Thailand. Yeah, I've seen it all.

So?

Not a big fan of this pondlife

Which tax law?

Nah, they are even cunning when they own a million in land, a house, car n everything. Seen it many times. Really greedy people and I don't excuse them. Most of my acquaintances back West will never have 1 million baht in bank, like so many Thai people have in farmland, yet there's no deceit in them at all. They usually lose it online gambling, fortunately, so they don't get to keep their ill-gotten gains. See that quite a few times, too.

All of who? Farang?

Bring back the good old days. I don't want Thailand to change.

Well, I agree, that Thailand wouldn't entice many farang if it weren't for the women, but it certainly isn't for their intelligence. They have a certain je ne sais que.....uhm, they are trollups. That said, the women are cunning and deceitful, however, and (probably) more so than the men.
