Are you actually concerned about the legality, as per your previous comment, or are you simply looking for a way to classify the tweet in a way that pleases you? The reason I ask is that you seem to be following a pattern of what I guess would be called bias. You want the tweet to be bad so you say "it's bad because of this", then someone says it isn't that, to which you then answer, "well it's bad because of this then", looking for a new reason to claim that the tweet is bad.

Not after they make it public. Once you publicly announce something, you cannot then expect that thing to be private. Also that isn't the reason for the suspension.

Quid pro quo?

Lack of critical thinking. "Why do you want to eat so much of this thing I don't like? I just don't understand it!" "Of course I eat lots of [weird Thai food], it's delicious! You think too much!" (Not reserved for Thais.)

One might almost think that something should have been done long before this sad event. But, TiT!

Do you have a choice? Isn't that part of the "arrangement"?

You're welcome. ????

I think you're thinking if he was her doctor or something. He didn't discuss anything that was not public knowledge. How do you think he would know otherwise?

More clean for your anus; not so clean for everything else.

Speak for yourself. Many people hate touching doorknobs/handles. Worst is having to touch one to get out of the toilet, having just washed your hands.

Clasped? Isn't that grasping, as in griping something with the hands? I think the wai would be hands pressed together, rather than clasped.

Exactly. Threats as well: "If you leave me I'll kill your family", etc..

Like with most of the "this needs to change" initiatives in Thailand, it would take a fundamental change in Thai culture that would need to start with education and probably wouldn't come to fruition until the generations that are now in primary school become adults. Nice idea though...

There are often more than just physical elements to abuse.

The pressures to generate content... ????

Just to confirm, this is a post which mentions another post and some of the comments? What is new about this?

You would have thought that at the very least this particular unit would know a little about the effects of different drugs.

It's an interesting point. If Epstein was really killed to stop him talking, did he know so much more than her? Or is she in danger too?

No. The only gripe of younger conservatives is the alphabet gang wanting to have influence over what people do and how they think. Hardly anyone cares about race anymore (apart from those who stand to gain from it).

Not exactly. It had positive connotations when being "woke" was seen as a good thing. Now people realise how destructive being "woke" is, so it has become a negative term.

It can be used in a derogatory way.

It would be interesting to see what would happen if she did win. It's almost a win-win situation. If she wins and improves Thailand, great, if she wins and things don't improve, it will silence a lot of Thaksin supporters who say that if he was in charge everything would be better. Many people view it as "If Thaksin was in charge, we would get more money", because that is what has happened in the past, but that money obviously has to come from somewhere and the coffers aren't exactly full right now.

Isn't it likely that a foreigner who stays in Thailand for one year on a "paid for" visa actually contributes more to the economy than a tourist who visits for two weeks? I'm not sure how you cannot see the valid contribution that a person makes simply by renting an apartment, buying food and travelling around. ED visas, Muay Thai visas, it doesn't really matter. They're making a contribution and as long as they generally follow the law, Thailand is better off for having them.

It's more a case of "free extra money from foreigners is expected because they are perceived as rich and the locals resent it", since tipping isn't a normal thing in SEA. We should at least call it what it is, whether we like to do it or not.

Oh, I did not know that. Sorry.
