I didn't know doing too many squats could be that dangerous.

If I'm in a new place for at least a few days I'll do a full survey of the area. Get on Google maps and locate some points of interest then hop on the motorbike and check them out. You can go in the morning or evening to avoid the heat.

He poisoned himself after receiving the silent treatment in an attempt to one up the emotional manipulation of the Thai women. A bold move Devaraj, but will it pay off?

You think you hate the media but really you don't hate them enough.

The stuff of nightmares right there.

Chinese must have got their fill of Thailand. For Europeans it's appealing because it's so different (including prices) but where is the appeal for Chinese? Maybe it's fun to visit once but I don't see how they could find the same value here as we do. Sadly for us Indians will probably find more value in Thailand and their numbers will increase.

Where are you meeting these women? The Thai woman I've known would never accept this, not even close.

People literally have to sell their house and move because property taxes price them out. How is that not a shakedown? You could live in the same house your whole life and if the market goes up you can't afford to live in the house you already bought and paid for. The local government and public sector are so greedy. It's infuriating.

If banks couldn't create credit the only money they would have to issue for mortgages would come from savings and this wouldn't be enough to cause crazy things like 30 year mortgages. Before the term of the mortgage is even up more money is in the system now and the price of the house rises so you can sell it and buy new more expensive ones. This churning of homes through many hands has gone on for so long the bar to entry is getting so high new buyers can't even enter the market. On top of all of this we have too many restrictions on building and endless immigration forcing demand so the market can never stabilize at lower price points. They've totally screwed all the younger people. Not just Australia this is happening in lots of countries.

The idea is that any time YOU add any value to anything you own THEM. It's like you're a free-range slave. You can pick the cotton anywhere you want but if you do pick any cotton we need our cut...and if anyone makes some tools for you then we get a cut of that too. Same story in America though. They always get their cut.

Africans?

ok fine ban the Georgians too.

Yup. They just put a laptop in their backpacks now.

Any joking aside I have nothing against Slavs but I have very little experience with them and nothing bad to say (not so much for the Indians and Chinese however). It can't be all bad. Look at these charming Georgian girls. Such a nice song too and everyone in the quaint village is having a good time. Never saw anything like this in America. I think it used to be there but that was probably 100 years ago.

How anyone could make a ban list that good but not include the Indians and Chinese is beyond me.
