Luj AJ yes that is a problem.  Trump is getting some companies to move back to the States.  Some of the ones that are doing are doing so due to better opportunities to go robotic.  Harder to do in Mexico.  They are using a lot less people with the new facilities.  This is one of the biggest problems of the future.  Probably can be as serious as global warming.  Part of this problem is politicians being lobbied to do nothing about it, and not putting enough money into education and retraining.  Those with negative attitudes won't be able to get jobs and compound dissatisfaction among the population.  As most of the new jobs will involve people interaction.

The world will be severely effected in the near future.  It is a question of labor price, production rates and convenience.  With a five year write off can pay a fair amount for something that will work 24 hours a day, no complaints or concerns over working conditions, or age, will produce the same as 10 or 100 workers.  In the future will be mostly a matter of desire to have a face to face contact.  Accounting, stock analysis, and recommendations, serving food, making food, transportation, can all be handled in a quicker manner with AI.  Question is what to do with 50% of the population that isn't flexible enough to take on a new career due to age, smarts, physical limitation, personality, and experience. A lot of the new jobs will involve working with people.

A lot of gifted children aren't leaders.  In fact a lot of good leaders are smart rather than intelligent.  Intelligent people create and do research.  Smart people make things easier and figure out how to use things to the best advantage.  Careful where you put gifted children, help them learn and create.  Don't retard them by imposing the wrong values on them.

Pretty scary.  School is very liable and in the States would get sued for millions.  

Really makes me cry.  The mother isn't capable of being a mother and the baby is sacrificed.  Yet there are millions of people over the world that would give their right arm to have a baby.  What is wrong with this?  The young girl's future is sacrificed and the baby is dead because of a bunch of do gooders and politicians sticking their noses in something that shouldn't be a problem.

Well bully for the driver.  Would be nice to see he is rewarded.  Maybe fine the Chinese couple and give the driver the money.

Kinda no win situation.  The  pharmaceutical and medical treatment lobbyists support the people getting elected into office, and if  pharmaceutical and medical treatment is costing 2 or 3 times as much as anywhere else how do they expect to get comparative costs.

Well done, on the right path and serve as good role models.

I guess if the East and West Coast secede from the Union, the Trumpers will feel proud that they made another historical movement.

Is scary to see what comments "normal" people have regarding this incident.

Some people look at at rest of us as less than they are.  Should not waste your time worrying about their values.  There are going to be people like this, no matter how hard you try, and they aren't listening anyhow.  Just smile, shake your head, and keep walking.

Seniors have been able to use MJ in Israel

for some time now.

I think the beach should be divided into sections with a low profile third of the beach with the amenities for the people who want chairs and vendors.

The older groups don't want to lay on the sand without shade.  There should be beaches in the outer areas that are clean.

I used http://www.xe.com/currencyconverter/ last year no problem.

Just like any rule if not enforced no sense in having.  The more public pressure there is the more likelihood the rules will be followed.  Understand social dynamics. 

Don't have to invent the wheel they have been using for thirty years in the West.  Copy what works.

If there is going to be burning, then it should be limited to those days that are windy and smoke will be distributed, but not so windy that the fire will be go out of control.

Fish live for a period of time in shallow fast water where the biggies can't get them.  Fingerlings in north america spent up to a year there, then out to the ocean.

Not too sure what is accomplished by negatively going over history.  We have a problem now that we have to solve now and not too sure who is significantly doing anything about it.  2020 was the date indicated as a tripping point to extinction of the human race and the big four: Russia, USA, China and India are so mired in greed, and big egos that I don't see anything happening by then.  The technology is there, but no one is prepared to use it.

Sorry boat in the Chumphon area.

Putin made a very smart move.  It doesn't change who he is.  He is at top of the meanest political system in world.  He is not a nice guy, and either is Trump.

I think Trump is going into uncharted waters and needs to pay attention.  Putin has no respect for Trump and hopefully is sharp enough not to let his ego say otherwise.

She is one of the greatest women tennis players ever.  And one of the most exciting.  To think she is just another tennis player is show ignorance and wasting our time and yours commenting on this topic in a negative way.

It is a bit silly to say that headlights don't help.  Cutting corners is in the Thai DNA, and having your lights on gives you a little edge.  A lot of drivers turn their lights on to see, and don't turn them on until dark.  About 85% of drivers don't realize that you use headlights to be seen.  Many people flash their lights at me when it is cloudy or rainy, and I have my lights on.  Drive a logging road without a radio and you will be told in no uncertain words, to "Turn your goddamn lights on."

It makes me worried to see statements like that.  If you are religious I guess you could say there is someone who knows.  It you are not, "Better to be thought a fool than open your mouth and let it all out."
