Ebumbu

I dated a TG who owned a beauty salon. I had been to the salon and it was legit, with some employees. After the 3rd date, I asked if we could go to a hotel room, and she agreed. Fast forward about an hour later and she asks me for 2000 baht. I said, "Why should I pay you? You're not a prostitute." To which she answered, "I know I'm not a prostitute. That's why I charge more!" I didn't see her again. Everything is a shade of gray here in LOS.

The only way I approach these balcony railings is on my knees or belly. Can't always say it was a death of despair. It could have been a few drinks and lost balance, especially for someone who is tall.

Are they going to legalize it for 2 years and then torpedo all the casino boats? LOS.

Very stable convicted-felon genius.

Here's what I understand so far: I am only taxed on money I bring into Thailand each year. What stays in the States is not taxable by Thailand. Is that right? Let's say if I bring 1M baht into Thailand next year to support myself. I pay taxes on it to Thailand. But, if I want to deduct that 1M baht from my US taxes, it has to be earned income (from work) and not money from interest, dividends, or capital gains. Am I on the right track? If most of my income is from investments (I'm retired), and I bring that over to support myself in Thailand, would I be unable to deduct those Thai tax payments from my US tax return? I think so. But, not sure. Is there a link to an easy primer on this stuff? Thanks.

Thank you.

If you look closely at the picture above, there is a reflection of a McDonalds in the glass. Sell Big Macs only in drugstores I say! More health damage is done by McDonalds than by every cannabis dispensary in the world. Destroyer of coronary and metabolic health.

Am I understanding you correctly? Did you just say that Americans like me can deduct any taxes paid to Thailand from their US taxes? If I bring in a million baht from the US and pay Thai taxes on that, the Thai taxes will be deductible from my US taxes? If so, that effectively means I'll continue to pay no Thai taxes. Am I getting it right? That would be a relief.

Did shops sell medical-grade flowers then, or just the liquids? The liquids and edibles are useless to me. Hopefully, nothing changes except I need to buy a license.

Agree. And hospital beer bars are the only viable solution to alcohol.

If not for cannabis, there would be no jazz. “Vic and I were blasting this joint – having lots of laughs and feeling good, enjoying each other’s company. Just then two big healthy dicks [detectives] came from behind a car nonchalantly and said to us, ‘We’ll take the roach, boys.’” Detectives confided in Armstrong that the arrest was prompted by a bandleader who was jealous of Satchmo’s natural talent and called a “stool pigeon” on him. Luckily, the detectives were fans of Armstrong’s music, and although he spent nine days in the Downtown Los Angeles City Jail, his jaunt to jail only proved to cement his love of the plant. That’s one reason why we appreciated pot, as y’all calls it now. The warmth it always brought forth from the other person – especially the ones that lit up a good stick of that ‘shuzzit’ or gage, nice names.” — Louis Armstrong (Satchmo) Source: https://www.leafly.com/news/lifestyle/louis-armstrong-and-cannabis#

As time passes, it becomes increasingly difficult for the accused to mount a defense. Witnesses might be unavailable, and memories might be unreliable. A statute of limitations protects the accused from having to defend themselves against stale claims where reliable evidence is longer be available. Statutes of limitations encourage law enforcement and prosecutors to act swiftly in investigating and prosecuting crimes. They promote efficiency in the criminal justice system and ensure that cases are resolved while evidence is fresh and witnesses are available. The constant threat of prosecution (that never arrives) or the burden of defending against decades-old accusations would be unfair and punitive to a defendant.

One more time: correlation is not causation. Has the doctor every considered that those with existing mental-health conditions are self medicating with cannabis, which is the actual reason for the correlation? There is no evidence of a causative relationship between cannabis and mental illness. However, it you already have latent schizophrenia, cannabis can accelerate its onset and symptoms. This is well known. They really want this genie back into the bottle. If I know anything about Thailand, it's due to financial reasons.

When hotel reviews are criminalized, only criminals will visit hotels! A violent-and-dangerous Yelp bully? If not said ironically, it's pretty funny.

Kim Jung Eun would agree with all your points. He's a law-and-order kind of guy!

My point is that sharing your opinion publicly, whether you're a nice person or not, must not be made into a criminal offense. Writing a review, even if vindictive, can't be considered a crime in a civilized society. I don't care about the reviewer's character because it's not relevant to my point. Even if his reviewer was Jesse James, it's his subjective opinion. Fortunately, karma came swiftly and harshly to the hotel. The regretted their decision to pursue criminal charges against the reviewer. They sabotaged their own business. Streisand effect! Hopefully, the same fate befalls the restaurant who decided to invoke archaic laws that make opinions into crimes. Bad reviews are part of doing business in the internet age. Deal with it. If he asked his friends to leave malicious reviews, the correct remedy would be a civil lawsuit, or contacting Google to remove fake reviews. It's their responsibility to ensure reviews are authentic, not the police.

The hotel guy did get arrested for leaving a review. That's literally what he was charged with, defamation. I don't dispute that he was belligerent. Arrest him for belligerence then. But any business is going to get some disruptive customers and unfair reviews. It's the nature of Google and Yelp. There is no way that it's justified to put someone in jail who shared their opinion, whether they're right or wrong. Same goes for this case. A bad review cannot be a crime in anything resembling a free society. It's a backwards, North-Korea style practice that needs to be amended. At the end of the day, sending the cops to get this hotel guy did far damage than anything he could have written. After the incident, the hotel was buried with angry, negative reviews. What did they accomplish? Self sabotage. Opinions, even if wrong, should no be crimes.

The internet knows how to handle this ... exactly like they handled the hotel that got a tourist arrested for his review. The Streisand effect is about to hit them like a train, if it hasn't already. Their reviews will be a smoking crater within a week of news getting out.

It's Harry J. Anslinger by another name! Same tactics.

He should claim someone framed him. He could say nobody would be stupid enough to put cocaine in their own passport. Credible. Might work!

That's what I was thinking, but figured I might get flamed. We have no evidence that 1000 baht wasn't actually given. The tourist seemed to believe he was cheated. Who knows? The hitting was idiotic.
