    The USA does not have democracy, sure everybody gets to vote but your vote means nothing when lobbyists backed by big money get to do an end run round the electorate. The problem is most lobbyists are politicians who have passed there "best before" date , they see the lobbying industry as a place to go if they get the boot, so they are loathe to go after ir.

    I fly business because it pleases me ,not to impress others.

    Forget about it , it's a done deal.

    I like to fly business class so checking in is always a breeze I aways get there early enough to put in a couple of hours lounge time. Might as well since I paid for it.

    The problem with immigrants is that the politicians that bring them in are not the ones that have to deal with them. Bringing in people with no marketable skills and dumping them onto local authorities is a bad move.

    Loan sharks know that if they piss too many people off someone will come after them. That is why there is less of them than you would expect.

    That's why there is a move to get away from the US dollar ,not a good deal when one country controls the printing presses and can grab any countries cash sitting in a US bank if they don't like someone's politics.

    Cut the military,over 150 overseas bases, 50,000 people in Okinawa . Is the US that insecure it thinks they need all these. The war has been over 80 years and they still have soldiers in Germany, the Russians went home years ago.

    If I croak in LOS please cremate me. You can ship the ashes anywhere you like in a jar cheap by regular mail. I would not like to have my family try to scratch up $30,000.

    Sounds like a pitch for gym memberships. I am in my eighties my mental health is just fine. I have never willingly entered a gym or done any exercise in my life, last time was in school over sixty five years ago. Not afraid of physical work so long as it produces something.

    I was fifty something when I first grew a beard. Now I am eighty something but the face the beard covered up is still fifty something to me and I like to keep i that way.

    I think it's a problem with the site, maybe adds have to be manually removed. The system should automatically delete the ads when the last item is sold. My biggest problem is with the refund system, it goes into some kind of wallet that you need a degree in computer science to figure out.

    Called de-escalating the situation, a cheap fix if you ask me.

    Maybe she is not in the dope business, just taken advantage of.

    A few years ago I heard a story from a man who was in Gaza sitting on the roof of a building with a bunch of Arabs drinking tea. He said a helicopter gunship appeared and started shooting rockets into a nearby building. When he asked the Arabs why they were not concerned they told him there was no problem as the Israelis were very good at targeting who they were after and there was never any collateral damage. Seems like things have changed.

    Doesn't look to me like she is getting rich from the dope business.

    Burning sugar isn't a a problem. The fire rips through the sugar real quick and is out by the time you get on your motorcycle to go see the fire. I have never detected any change in air quality , only problem being black embers falling on any washing you have hung up drying.

    It's the rule of four you are confused with . four inches . four minutes and four thousand batts.

    Maybe they are Ukrainians that don't want to fight.

    When I use the ATM I take out 900 ฿ instead of 1000 ฿ if I think making change anywhere is going to be a problem.

    Remember don't answer any questions with the word YES ,if they try to confirm your name say something like "it is" or just say "mmm" even if it is a legitimate call if not hang up.

    Sounds like the BS they feed the Americans to justify their system. I have never had to wait at emergency went right in every time. In BC I had to wait about 10 minutes for a doctor to show up.

    This is old news, it is common knowledge that these places the toffs sent their kids were hotbeds of pedophiles and queers.

    A weak attempt to demonize China by calling them communist. Deng Xiaoping's reforms moved them away from Marxism. What they have is a one party system set up so the rich cannot buy the election like in the US.

    No mention of seat belts ?
