How about this, dude?

How about WAIT for two important things to play out that are directly relevant to the topic --

 

One -- The Mueller investigation concluding. That could be next month (very very unlikely) but it could also easily be next year.

 

Two -- The November 2018 Midterm elections. A democratic wave if it happens combined with evidence (see above) could indeed bring about impeachment and/or resignation.

 

Otherwise -- here's a tip for you personally. If this topic bothers you, maybe don't read it. 

3 - the 2024 elections.... 'cause the libs will continue their whining till then

What annoys me is that my Thai partner had her visitor visa application turned down twice by the British embassy in BKK yet Ms Shinawatra seems able to waltz in with no problem.
Where did she apply for her entry visa ? Obviously not BKK.
May's corrupt "English" government.

Really? She's a billionaire. What country wouldnt want her spending her money there?

Heavy drinkers - i.e. the people that drink drive - can't comprehend that someone might just not want to get hammered.

Well said!

Cheers, of course the title is just to push you to read this page, I won't drive at all because I sleep where I drink.
 
But how many of you will have to drive after drinking, even long time after ?
 
Do not lie ! Foreigners keep talking about Thai who drive drunk, but how many of you are doing exactly the same thing ? And you really think that you are better than Thai ?
 
If you think that it's ok because you will stop drinking many hours before driving, you are just lying to yourself and to people who will be in your car.
 
Anybody who hasn't decided to sleep where he drinks or to go by taxi is plain stupid. And if you rely on someone who is supposed not to drink, you are the same.
 
Just interested to know if someone is going to tell the truth...
 
 

Here's some facts for you

- not everybody drinks
- there's plenty of people that dont feel the need to get drunk on NYE
- not many people will admit publicly to a crime in advance

You sound like you have a drinking problem. You seem to set your sleeping arrangements around your habit.

Is this thread just to make yourself feel better by finding people with bigger drinking issues you can look down on?

Personally I think its better to start the New Year with a clear head.

I've made a lot of predictions which have borne out to be true.  Would you like a list?
 
 

A list of all your predictions would be hillarious.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

It's going to be a tough year for Trump fans, .....those few who are left.  They're going to get angry daily.  There are serious charges coming at Trump and his cabal from many directions.  The law-breaking charges are not so much fueled by hate for Trump (though that's real), ...but more so based on increasing mountains of proof of law-breaking.  

 

Most Americans (non-Trump fans, about 82% of Americans) don't like the fact that Russians tangibly interfered with the US election process - to get a Trump win.  Now, evidence is coming out which shows some congressional Republican elections were actively affected by Russian interference - hand in glove with Republican party/candidates.   South Florida is now in the news on that issue.   

 

Ryan was sent a formal letter by Pelosi, several days ago, asking about that.  Of course, Ryan is too chicken to respond.  He, and the entire Republican cabal are guilty as hell (of colluding with the Russkies), and they're all running scared.  Everything they do and say indicates that. 

 

 

 

At some point - maybe 2 or 3 years in - you'll have to stop making these predictions. 

 

You keep making them & they keep not coming true.

Late 90's Subaru Sambar with a VW kit

 

 

 

Well - the chance of that car being stolen are almost 0 - it's hardly going to blend in, is it? It's not as if the original owner wouldn't recognize it. I don't think any self-respecting criminal would steal something so distinctive, whilst being worth so little...

 

The number plate looks illegal - but doesn't mean the car is - just that the ordinary plates look crap and people sometimes get prettier ones made.

 

The number 6789 is probably worth more than the car - I'd check that out first. 

 

Windscreen is illegal - you should get some bull bars so the pedestrians/cyclists you hit at night won't scratch the paintwork.

 

Apart from those minor issues, it's hard to see what the crime is here, other than your shocking lack of taste. The vehicle is horrific. Perhaps the original owner is still having fits of laughter and will send you the blue book when the tears streaming down his face dry out...

Why not go straight to the police ? A lawyer could only pursue a civil matter, they are not the police prosecutor. Did you receive any paperwork, a receipt etc ?

Not true.

 

Anyone can take a criminal case to court.

So, in your view, national sovereignty is sacred? And if they start jailing their political opponents? Of if they create concentration camps? The EU should still do nothing?

 

Absolutely. You hit the nail on the head. Their politicians can do as they see fit. They should be allowed to do what they want. The public votes people into power and the politicians implement policy, without having the EU dictate to them. Anything else means they are not in power.

 

Now, of course, your sensationalist argument is meant to close of discussion. It's a ludicrous argument.  If any country created concentration camps, it would be down to the rest of the world, specifically the UN to intervene. What would happen if the EU dictated that they create concentration camps or if the EU started to jail political opponents? Same thing right?

 

This is simply a matter of who should be in control. Bringing silly arguments like this along does nothing to prove that the EU should be in control.

I'd imagine they all are, as it's unusual (to my knowledge) for police to NOT have one in the chamber.

 

As has been pointed out though, most modern pistols & revolvers have a built in safety design so it won't fire unintentionally, with the exception of one model of modern Sig Sauer having an issue/recall.

These people need to get girlfriends or something. 

Your comment makes pretty clear that you don't know what you are talking about.

Go on then genius. What did I write that wasnt true?

I have a number of Thai relatives that run bars like this. I know exactly what goes on, who gets paid off, rules for the girls employed. Ask away.and I'll educate you...

Is it the fact 90% of the girls have Thai boyfriends/husbands that bugs you?

Money lenders, drug dealers... so many ways to fleece the girls working there. It shouldnt be a shock when they fleece the punters...

I think "necessary" is relative. Sometime when I am in a bar (where I am a regular), sitting together with other regulars, friends order a round, and then they order a drink for a girl, and then maybe someone else buys a drink for this or that person, it can get confusing for the staff and for the punters. Some guys feel more comfortable when then sign their bills, and with some of them I think it's good that they do that. Because maybe later at night they don't remember anymore so clearly who bought a drink for whom. There doesn't have to be cheating involved. Sometimes it's just a question of who gets the bill for the last three beer and that lady-drink...

I think the key here is 'order a drink for a girl'

These establishments are by definition criminal enterprises. Run by pimps, they are (from the owners perspective) simply places to extract money from people with their dicks at the helm

The customers are, by definition 'marks'. 90% of the working girls have Thai partners yet white knights regularly 'rescue' them from their plight.

You go to such places, there's a long line of complete idiots that have gone before you, throwing crazy amounts of money around for lub.

Presumption is that every guy in through the door is a patsy (even though there's no doors)..

Better off going somewhere nice if you want to be treated with respect. Beer bars really are for the desperate...


Sent from my SM-A720F using Tapatalk

Why? Obviously a non bar visitor.
Easy way is to sign the check each time you order and make sure the staff know you are doing that, then only pay for those that you sign, saves any arguments or nasty situations.

It boggles the mind why anyone would enter an establishment where they felt thisnecessary.

PAYG (pay as you go) was someone's advice! My partner who is 100% Thai has always informed me "DO NOT TRUST ANYONE" so I have lived by that Mantra as sound advice. All part of the learning curve sadly.

I think better advice is... dont hang out in crappy beer bars.

 

There's plenty of decent places to go out in this country and life's too short to hang out in some dung hole where the highlight is having your neck massaged by an octagenerian in a mini skirt and boob tube.

It's true we don't have him on tape confessing that he likes to grab women's asses.

 

When all is said & done - would you prefer to be judged by what you did or what you said?

 

When you look up to someone - do you look up to them because of what they said or by what they did?

 

Very simple questions....

Your point is only applicable if the president likes to place his hands on women's asses.

Correct & there is no evidence that he does.

 

Only accusations.

 

I believe people are innocent until proven guilty, right?

 

Do you wonder why these accusations are only stepping up now the Russian thing is finally done? Not after he was elected, not before he was elected, not before he stood for election - but right now when the last gasps of the Russian investigation are over.

 

Look - when the shoe is on the other foot & it's Fox printing articles about President Creepy Joe Biden not being fit to wipe Trumps ass and asking for his resignation - you will agree with me. 

 

But it's a matter of principle. You believe in democracy or not. Franken should NOT resign because it sets the stage for the end of democracy - as I've stated in other threads.

An attempt to invalidate the election with accusations of Russian Collusion?  That's been proven.  You need better news sources.  Nobody is denying Russia tried to influence the elections.  They are doing the same thing all over the world.  Read the proper news and you'll find this out.

Correct. Russia did that. Just as the US tries to subvert elections around the world. Remember "back of the queue" Obama? Hell - they even overthrow ELECTED governments.

 

But - just because Russia tried to influence the elect, does not mean Trump colluded with them. Perhaps before you reply next time - look up any big words you don't understand.

Sexual impropriety?  If Franken resigns because of his allegations, then Trump should do the same.  It's only fair.

 

Aaaah - well - we didn't agree for long. So to summarize, in order to ouster a sitting president, one only needs to...

 

1 - find a Democrat politician that allegedly likes to place his hand on women's asses

2 - get him to resign for point 1

3 - then tell the President he needs to resign for 'fairness'

 

Like I said - end of democracy.

Gorgeous editorial. They said what needed to be said, about the deflector in chief. And this one really takes the cake-

 

Nearly 60 congresswomen have urged Congress to investigate claims against Mr Trump of sexual harassment and groping.

Mr Trump said this week Democrats were seeking to capitalise on "the false accusations and fabricated stories of women who I don't know and/or have never met. FAKE NEWS!"

 

Funny. You met them. They met you, when you were reaching your hand up their skirts, in an attempt to fondle them, or stick your tongue down their throats. Remember, it was you who said it. You said when you saw a beautiful woman, you could not help it. You had to try to kiss her. And you said that you could "grab them by the pussy", since you were famous. You said you could do anything. Remember, Don? It was caught on tape. You cannot dismiss this one. It is not going to go away. And you dared to criticize Franken for posing with his hands in front of a woman's breasts? Did he even touch her?

 

If the people only knew the extent of it. I am sure he was involved in many orgies with underage women, during his 21 trips to Jeffrey Epstein's private island, nicknamed Orgy Island. That man was famous for having underage girls both on his plane, and at the mansion on the island. There is virtually no doubt, that the president of the US, is a serial statutory rapist. And a serial sexual assaulter. No doubt. Anyone who knows about his past, simply has to come to this probable conclusion.  

 

All this is just another attempt to subvert democracy.

 

Lot's of people don't like Trump. I think that's fairly clear. Hollywood, the press, liberals etc.

 

The fact is, he was elected according to the rules of the game. 

 

There was an attempt to invalidate the election with accusations of Russian collusion, that's  now pretty much over. At the time it became clear that the 'Russian connection' can't oust Trump, there is now an attempt to oust him for sexual impropriety. 

 

For those that want democracy invalidated because they don't like who got elected, once you go down that path, you have destroyed democracy because for sure, the same tactics will be used against 'your guy' when your team wins.

 

In the Al Franken thread - I stated clearly that he should not be kicked out for the same reasons - he was voted in and it puts us on the wrong path. Love Trump or hate him, it's the same path - death of democracy...

If you want to hurt Thai's you have to hit them hard in the wallet and take away their prized possessions  as nothing else works.   Bans don't work as they just carry on driving/riding, many never having a license to start with and punitive fines don't work as they just laugh at them, seen it from Villagers around us and in many cases even small fines never get paid.   Hit them with a 5,000 Baht fine first offence and if they re-offend go to jail for 6 months and take the Vehicle away and crush it.   Do this a few times and watch how things improve rapidly but if they are not going to take serious action then just stop talking Bullshit and let them carry on killing themselves and innocents.....you can't have it both ways !

 

The fine for drink driving is up to 30k and 3 months inside...

Round the corner from me, it's 3,000 Baht if you get caught drink driving. My wife got caught there. Funny thing - she wanted to go a different way home but it was muddy that way and I asked her to stick to the main road. She'd had 1 pint of Hoegaarden but she's 40kg, so was over. I could see they were having a laugh and joke with her and I found out later, she'd been busted there the night before too.

 

2 nights in a row, same place, same cops, total complacency. Not just the cops either but my bloody wife who (after some 'negotiations') now takes taxi's out.

 

We even get told by a cop friend when there's going to be checkpoint set up - road, time etc. I am sure we are not the only ones.

 

There's a restaurant round the corner owned by a cop too - you can drive there and leave steaming and it's all OK if you tell them where you are coming from.  Some guy takes his Aston there regularly and gets hammered. 

 

Nobody gives a crap at all as long as they think they'll get away with it. 

 

And the distant backwater this occurs in most nights? Yup - Bangkok.
