Personally, after witnessing Songkran, I don't hold much of it.

There are many things that I find annoying, as someone who has to work 7 days a week.

(I would probably see it differently if I had Thai children and no need to work).

 

Nevertheless, I fully agree to everything you state: as a guest among hosts who actually did not invite me, I am not to judge local traditions, I am just to keep my opinions for myself, just saying to myself that next year, I will think about traveling abroad.

 

While I find some aspects of Thailand annoying - but which country is perfect?... - I find grumpy expats and entitled boomers always criticizing every sh*t even more annoying!

Like expats are normally told in every country I have been living in: if you don't like it, leave! Period!

 

"I find grumpy expats and entitled boomers always criticizing every sh*t even more annoying!"

  I guess you find yourself annoying as well since you are the one complaining.  Both you and the original poster have a serious lack of intelligence.  Please seek immediate medical attention.  Local traditions is not beating someone for honking a horn.

Here’s an idea for an intelligent response to this nonsense:

 

”I wouldn't be at all surprised to see temporary lockdowns for climate based reasons in the next decade. Just very short ones, just to test the waters.”

 

If it came out of the mouth of someone sitting next to me on a bus I’d move seats and get off at the very next stop.

Please move as far from intelligent people as you can.

Yeap, anybody but Trump.  My sentiments as well.  That's what these Trump supporters don't get.  They keep attacking Biden as if we worship the guy....the way they worship Trump.  But it means nothing to me what Biden's age is, or his mental competency, or anything else.  I'd vote for Biden because he's not Trump.  They can go out and find some random homeless guy and I'd vote for him (or her) over Trump.  It's that simple.

And look what your vote got us (that is a lie, cheating got him in, not votes), high gas prices, inflation and wars. More national debt, millions of illegals crossing the borders taking Americans jobs.  Violence in all Democrat cities.  No law, catch and release criminals.  Giving thousands of dollars to illegal immigrants while elderly people in America struggle to survive. Chinese blatantly flying spy balloons over America unimpeded.  His family raking in millions due to him giving favors to our enemies.

What a great job, maybe Kamala Lala Ding Dong can do better.  Or hey, let's ruin America like Newsome ruined California.

Gee, what a shocker, who’d have thunk it. The mindless MAGA crowd don’t get their way and (want to) resort to violence. Where have we seen that before? I’m sure DJT is going to put in his two cents on truth social to throw more fuel on the fire and incite his already crazed and blood-thirsty supporters. 

Mindless MAGA crowd, you mean the gutless spineless people who ransacked and destroyed all the Demorat's cities, oh <deleted>e, that was Antifa and BLM crowd, leftist organizations.  Oh OK, you are confused.

I copied+pasted the quote  - *unedited* -  in my post from:-

 

https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/amendment-14/#amendment-14-section-3

 

"Section 3

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."

 

***

 

If I've made an (unintentional) error, I am always open to being corrected.

 

  --  Please copy+paste the words/sentences/section that I omitted (in error).

 

My apologies but even in your quote, last sentence, is states Congress may vote, nothing about states voting. Another bogus lawsuit.  Sad day for America, Xiden's DOJ is weaponized against his political opponents.  Banana republic now.  Now Florida and other Republican states will remove Xiden from the ballot.  What will this accomplish, nothing.  Shows how scared the Demorats, always have to resort to cheating one way or another.  Demorats lost a lot of voters with this political stunt.

Section 3 does *not* mention "conviction". 

 

 

You only read the parts that you want to read.  The first line states, which you conveniently omit: Congress CAN, not states. Congress. Will be thrown out like all the other bogus cases against Trump.

No I mean as I said, here's a little more for you on just a few of his past ones.

 

Tucker Carlson, the ousted Fox News host who has trafficked in conspiracy theories ranging from the idea that Jan. 6 was perpetrated by Donald Trump’s federal government to the claim that the Clinton family murdered Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich
https://www.thedailybeast.com/tucker-carlson-declares-to-trump-im-not-a-conspiracy-person-at-all

Oh and don't forget the latest that Tucker revealed.  He interviewed the head of security for the capital and he said he asked for permission to activate the National Guard and it took 2 hours to get a response of YES.  Why 2 hours, did Nancy want the riots to happen? Was she in on it?  These are the questions intelligent Americans are asking.  Nothing to do with conspiracy theories.

Just Tucker trying to stay in the news and sow new conspiracy theories. 

You mean conspiracy theories like the Hunter Biden laptop being Russian Collusion or maybe the so-called vaccines don't prevent you from catching Covid?  Tucker has over 2M followers but but you think he is trying to stay relevant, hahaha.

Dude, I don't watch news, I read. 

 

As another poster has indicated, there was collusion between some members of the Trump campaign and some shady Russians.  There were internet troll farms in Russia actively spreading disinformation against Hillary Clinton.

 

I won't address any of your ridiculous numbers because I assume they're made up.  You can prove me wrong by providing a source.

Dude, 

Provide you with a source for what, the WHO lies.  So, let's start again, The newspapers didn't post that Killary would win, 95% sure.  WHO didn't state that the vaccine would prevent catching or transmitting the virus, lies.  I forgot the good one, Hunter Xiden laptop is Russian Collusion confirmed over 50 national intelligence agency senior officials.  Now, the real story is out, over 20M in bribes taken from the Xiden crime family.  Yet, you will still state that he was only talking about the weather.

So you're claiming you know for a fact that Biden won't be able to complete his term and there's a plan to replace him with someone else? Do you have a crystal ball and some sort of spy surveillance device that allows you to listen in on the machinations of certain unnamed parties who are in control of Joe Biden? Or are you just reading the minds of these sinister characters?

Dude, the guy doesn't know where he is half of the time and you think he can make another term.  Glad you want a puppet in control, everyone knows he doesn't run America.  He is told what to say, where to sit as he has no clue.  The handlers tell him when to take questions.  Please let's settle this once and for all, have a debate.  But we all know Joe Xiden has dementia.  he will never debate as the Demorats won't let him.

You do realize the vaccines do not stop you catching, or transmitting the virus? They reduce the symptoms for the person who has taken the vaccine.

 

There is no place for these type of fascist policies that undermine bodily autonomy in modern, democratic societies. 

Reducing the symptoms actually has never been proven. What has been proven are the many people dying from blood clots and pregnant women losing their babies.  This junk was never tested for efficacy, that is the first test you do for a vaccine.  Pfizer admitted this in court.  If efficacy wasn't tested you can bet no side effects were tested either.  People need to wake up and understand this was a sham by big pharma to advance the field of mRNA technology and they used the world as their testing grounds.
