Living in Thailand vs living in America?
NorthernRyland replied to jack71's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Immigration is a deliberate government policy. See the 1965 Hart Cellar act. Americans never agreed to be flooded by millions of racial aliens. I've spoken about this before the mods will ban me again. The die is cast though and the US is already looking exactly like Brazil in many areas. I was born in 1982 and had a good upbringing in a still 95+ white Colorado town but my elementary school I went to in the 90s looks like it could be any city in Mexico. Glad I moved, not coming back except to visit. -

You're being sarcastic? Yes I know and you sound exactly like the people here. That's exactly the kind of sarcasm some person from Boulder would have. -

NorthernRyland replied to jack71's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
well this is ***exactly*** what I'm talking about. I don't know where you're from but you'd probably really get along with the people here. Not kidding, not judging, come and visit. You'll feel right at home. -
Living in Thailand vs living in America?
NorthernRyland replied to jack71's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
It's 180 degrees opposite of how they portray themselves but these are some the most intolerant small minded people you will ever meet if you challenge them on anything or go against one of their never health or social fads. There's a reason they say Boulder is a bubble. The Thais on the other hand are actually easy going and aren't trying to shove all their dogmas down my throat with protests and bumper stickers, and that's one of the main reasons I prefer to live with them. -

Boulder is far worse today than it was 20 year for sure. I was just talking to some women about this last week who moved here when my family did in 1987. Objectively worse we both agree. That's just us though, the new comers seem to be having a good time. Google has a campus here and lots of high paying tech jobs are popping up etc... I visit my parents here in the summer (that's where I am now) and you can still have nice hikes if you avoid the weekends or certain easy trails the tourists do. Much more weed smoking sine they legalized it, which maybe some people like but it just attracted more problems in my opinion. I never explored the state much since I effectively moved to Thailand in 2005 but I'm sure you can find better areas in Colorado that have nice hiking, more affordable housing and less of this elitist liberal cultural which dominates Boulder. -

Come visit my home town of Boulder Colorado in the summer and enjoy a pleasant dry heat, cool nights and unmatched outdoor culture hiking in the Rocky Mountains. Just don't get any idea of buying a home or your dreams will be crushed when you see the prices. ???? -

There is still amazing cheap land in many places in America. If you can build something and deal with property taxes you could have a pretty good life. Just saw this today in inbox. -
TAT to Propose Visa Extension for Tourists
NorthernRyland replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Stingy as usual. Why not 6 months? Are they weighing the pros and cons and decided that 6 months would be too much while 2 weeks is safe, considering the damage these people could do. Imagine all the terrible things that could happen if Europeans got into Thailand for a whole 6 months. It's not even worth considering. -

Trump under investigation for potential violations of Espionage Act
NorthernRyland replied to Scott's topic in World News
Trump at least had the capacity to play hard ball with other countries. If it was on the table he would have said something like "why are we letting these people from <deleted> hole countries buy land in America when they won't give us the same deal in their country". Maybe that would backfire but I can at least see him putting pressure on this SE Asian countries and getting something in return for us. Compare that with the democrats who would go the opposite direction and tell us we need to take the Thai's as refugees and give them free school, health care etc... all at tax payer expense. It's a clear choice in my eyes and no I don't care Trump was a dick or said stupid things so don't bother. -

Many races are tight. You just need to corrupt those and you get the entire state. Again, vectors for fraud such be kept to a minimum. Yeah well there are at least 2 Americas and they don't agree with you. Did you see the rallies Trump had? Massive and he held them the entire 4 years. He was a rock star. -

NorthernRyland replied to Scott's topic in World News
it's terribly shortsighted. The bigger picture here is that the regime in Washington has purged a political rival. They'll do the same thing next time a legit left wing populist emerges and then the liberals will be crying about the corrupt FBI etc... etc... just like they used to before Trump came around. -

Answer the question. Tell us about how more empowered women of color and "undocumented Americans" and whatever other nonsense they talk about helps a retired white guy in Thailand. If you're going to shill for a political party you should at least get something from them. -

NorthernRyland replied to Scott's topic in World News
of course everyone knows that and what conspiracy theory did I posit? all I said is I don't trust them and more vectors for fraud are a problem. Anything that would happen would be at the state level. My bottom is that they had it out for Trump since day 1 and never stopped going after him for a second until they culminated in a raid on his house. There's no way they are going to let him run again and a little voter fraud is just a means to an end. The bigger question is why you retired guys are shilling so hard for democrats? What are you trying to get from them? At least I save a few thousand dollars because of Trump but democrats offer literally nothing at best and at worst more taxes and immigrants. Makes no sense to me. -

Can someone please explain why I would want to vote for them? At least Trump gave me some minor tax cut but all they offer is "free" government services that they never deliver on and would be terrible anyways and then higher taxes to pay for illegal immigrants and various victim groups. Lots of gay stuff also. Great. I can't see how a bunch of old white guys in Thailand would care about this nonsense. -

NorthernRyland replied to Scott's topic in World News
yes I know. That's the problem. I don't trust these people and this process of "anything can happen after the polls close, it's settled etc..." is not good enough. This will sow seeds of distrust for millions of people and backfire on the Democrats eventually. -

All anyone keeps saying is that it has been debunked. I didn't watch hours of court cases, how does this work? Tell me how can verify the signature and whether the ballot was actually sent before polls closed. There are millions of them to be accounted for and limited personal counting. And another thing if you can vote and have the election results changed overnight while you're sleeping this is disqualifying by itself. I'm not gonna waste time voting (I didn't vote in 2020 btw) if boxes of ballots can just appear and I'm told to shut up for questioning where all these came from. Every election could be rigged going forward and we'll be told the question was settled in 2020 so shut and accept the results. OK I've ranted enough. Mail in ballots are just one more reason you're a sucker for voting in US elections. -

No way, are you kidding? How do you even verify the person filled out the ballot? All they have is a signature and what are they comparing this against? There is no national database of signatures and there's not enough man power to carry this out. You could just print up the ballot and fill one out for another person then deliver it to the counters in the morning after you counted up the ballots needed to win. -

all I know is that Trump was winning when I went to bed and when I woke up the election had swung. If I saw that pattern in another country I would assume it was fraud but there's this sense in the US that "it can't happen here, that's what happens in 3rd world countries" etc... I wouldn't put it past the regime in Washington of course. Personally I don't see the point in voting with mail in ballots. You should get to vote during open hours while on video and when the polls close that's it. Count all the votes before everyone goes home and call it a day. As it is now boxes of ballots can show up in the middle of the night, or whenever and we have to take their word they are valid. Americans don't trust the system enough at this point to conduct elections this way. -

US is not there YET but it's getting very close now. The US regime in Washington is now arresting their political adversaries. We're always crying about little laws politicians break but they never seem to be punished until it's a figure like Trump. What do non-Americans think of the last election where the outcome completely changed in the morning after un counted ballots came in after polls closed and people were sleeping? All of this sounds like some 3rd world country to me. I wouldn't be surprised one bit if some kind of coup happens in one of the following elections. -

Trump is like Thaksin who got too close to the seat of power in Thailand. The American regime simply will not accept unapproved candidates who are outside the Washington clique of Republicans and Democrats (aka the Uni-party). -

Are you saying I can't get rich by going on vacation and letting people watch? I'm shocked.
