something seems wrong with how quickly the van goes to it's rim on that wheel. that and the driver doesn't recover at all.... but still...to the rim really fast. don't you think? 

Maybe just me but the back rear tyre of the mini van seems to burst. Possibly from being shunted sideways by the silver car. Hard to recover when over 80kmh

I find often I cannot reply or comment on Topics. And when I try and use the search option it does not work. Do others on here find this Site increasing difficult to make comments on

Perhaps time to move away from small rice planting holding to larger scale operations with more mechanisation. That is where the treat comes form and it is a one way system. The old ways are fading and if you do not adopt the new. You will go the same way and fail

Yes and local Industry and the populaces will suffer. higher Drug and medical costs and less control of your own country. Free Trade Agreements are not free as they always tend to favour one of the other. only the rich get benefits

Really? It used to be said that increasing the money supply will increase interest rates because it will lead to inflation. Now it's just the opposite? Actually, what is keeping interest rates low is lack of demand. Almost a century ago, Keynes figured how to solve this problem but it's a lesson well forgotten.

Yes Keynes always advocated the Invisible hand to stimulate and reduce demand as required. Sadly all the Worlds Governments have become side tracked by the slash and burn Policies of Milton Friedman. This makes them deludedly rely on the market to even things out. A Market driven by greed and manipulated by the Top 5%. I have only believed the trickle down theory works when a drunken wealthy person P........ses on the poor in the Gutter

OK, but I didn't say AI will take over tomorrow. It is here, but in a small way so far ( carparks and petrol stations etc ). It is coming though, and a country with such a small population will have great difficulty dealing with large numbers of unemployed. I think NZ should become part of Australia to help the transition.

NZ can't industrialise, IMO. They just don't have the people willing to do those sort of jobs. All the kids want to be in media and other stupidities.

Regulation is killing NZ businesses now, as the bureaucracy attempts to justify it's existence. Fining farmers thousands of $ for not wearing a helmet while riding a farm bike is an abomination, but no one is standing up against the stupidity. I think people are just trying to get by in a bad environment best they can.

This is true about regulation but please bear in mind most of that is us following on from Australian regulations. It is the same in the workplace. Australian practices are adopted in line with C.E.R

IMO worse. Cheap credit is keeping things going and the government refuses to talk about it, but it's happening.

I was talking to a lady in a petrol station shop, and she was scared her job will be eliminated by a machine. Human devoid self service petrol stations are already in existence. Car parks no longer have humans taking the money. Supermarkets have self service checkout counters. Bank tellers are a threatened species. Even social welfare staff could be replaced by machines as their lives become threatened by people outraged at the way they are being treated. They have to have security guards outside every social welfare office now.

AI can replace all the manual jobs, but what will people do, and if they are all unemployed, who is going to have enough money to make businesses viable?

The only industries doing really well, that I could tell, were camper van companies and the illegal weed industry.

Not really true. There is a growing Service Industry. And those in the Food Sector never enough workers. It is true technology moving in some Industries but in my rural town the local Service station expanding and taking on more staff. Following the Sept 2010 and Feb 2011 earthquakes most Businesses rebuild and expanded. World wide it is an issue no matter how cheap you can import something for if people have no income how do you sell it? The west will re Industrialise because the east is already beginning to price itself out of the market.. 

In the days of the British Raj in India the British went 3 times into Afghanistan. 3 times they got a hiding. Never been a safe place but did come into the 20th century for a short time. Govt at the time asked for Soviet assistance. USA trained the Mujahadeen. Many who later joined the Taliban (Teachers). The rest is history. The Country is a failed state and nothing we do will change that. It is infected by the Fundamentalist disease.

Yes they are all well weathered as are we all. Perhaps they will be photo shopped to keep your fantasies alive.

I object to the last sentence NZ has a Hobbit as Prime Minister and following Jim Henson's demise the Muppets moved to NZ to become members of Parliament

Yes as a Brexiter there was no plan for it, because the muppets in No10 didn't think it was ever going to happen, great planning.  

As for the planning now...just because they are not telling everyone about it all the time does not mean to say that they are not working on one.  Of course there will be one in the making, for better or worse and yes it won't suit everyone but hey...nothing ever does,  anyone who thinks that the Government are not working out a plan are talking crap..no one in their right minds would just sit there and the country get worse and worse.

As for Corbyn he's a fresh air thief and instead of trying to slag off everything that others do maybe he should be trying to be constructive and help try and get the country back on its feet.   

Easy plan. turn the Royal Navy into Privateers as in the past. Start by raiding along the Spanish coast. Form an alliance with the Netherlands. Ignore France and pillage Belgium and Germany. East Brexit can be renamed Rexit and shove that up the European tail pipes. Rule Brittania

To think Afghanistan was a progressive Country in the 1960's now a third world Country heading for the Dark ages. All in the twisted name of a Deity

I guess time for Our Countries to move to Suppliers from other Countries as we did previously when they artificially hiked the price

You can buy the new Mustangs in Bangkok. Unless you think these are not sports cars. Personally the cost of maintaining European sports cars scares me. 

Romans were said to have openly Traded and concluded a peace treaty with China. The meeting a concluded treaty is part of Malay folklore.

Legends are often fragments of fact

Unfortunately sick twisted Individuals are adopting these clown outfits to scare kids and intimidate others. I suggest carrying a clown adjuster (baseball bat) . Even here in NZ we have these morons . Standing in roads. Well I think they are funny ha ha. They are just sick B              s.

Accountability, responsibility, culpability are not in the Thai vocabulary atm unless you are a deposed PM. Buy an extra 3 submarines.

No, she should not pay. And no politician should have to pay for costs of a government program just because the government that follows them hates the idea. In the USA, in Europe and throughout Asia, there are agricultural subsidy programs like this rice program. Does any other country change governments and then go after the previous PM for the bill? Of course not, that would be stupid. 

 

And it is stupid in this case too, but then we have clowns behind the wheel of the car... 

 

PS: just so that the somewhat dim junta-huggers get it, let me be clear.  Yes, corruption should be rooted out and people involved charged appropriately and put on trial.  But that is not what is going on here.... 

Correct about subsidies New Zealand had subsidised minimum prices for Agriculture through the 70's and a fixed currency. The result it was claimed there were 70  million sheep so bigger subsidies paid to Farmers. And Farmers were encouraged to be inefficient. The fixed currency plus smp's almost Bankrupted the Country. Since they have gone Farmers are amongst the most efficient in the World getting no Government handouts.True reporting reveals sheep numbers at 30-35 million and cattle 15 million. Our floating currency is valued based on a basket of currencies and is more stable. NZ's economy is still growing. 

What Thailand needs is a Transparent Government something no one is pushing. This is how you begin to remove corruption. If you can't hide what you are doing you must justify it. That is a major step to Democracy. One Day I pray Thailand seizes upon this and it spreads to infect all of Asia. Because that is when the Tigers will return and roar. IMO.

I am sorry but Paedophile's regardless of Race creed or colour deserve only a 9mm anaesthethic . It you think thrapy or Monkhood cures them then you should look at recidivsm rates.

Get rid of them day one and they cannot reoffend. 

For those of you who like to attack the Buddhist Faith it is not a religion but a Philosphy. If the first 5 precepts were actually followed such things would diminish.

Religion may be a curse but faith is a basic human need.

life  expenctancy in Thailand due to pollution, poor medical,

And this is the statistic for Farangs too. With the Exception of course of those of us who get Bird syndrome and think we can fly out of Condos. Thais and Farangs do not have the same Life expectancy.
