And all it took was a man to lose his life to get them to actually fix it... 🙄

Unfortunately, a lot of people who claim to be fighting racism are actually fighting for supremacy. The weird thing is, it's likely that someone like the author of this poem actually thinks the opposite, and, as a result, feel that they need to put White people down and build Black people up. A normal, well adjusted person, who doesn't have issues around their own race, doesn't need to write a poem saying that White people hate Black people, but Black people are better than White people.

Have you ever been to Thailand?

Probably speeding, bad tyres and no seatbelts. "Mai bpen rai."

If they're wrong, simply let them attempt to publish and then debunk it. To not allow something to be said suggests there is some merit to it. 🤷‍♂️

Staged for sure, but definingly something that happens. I feel bad for the trans people, but you have to think about women and girls at the end of the day. You just can't say that trans people's feelings are more important than everyone else's simply because they are trans.

Why is that?

You would think that a group that was 60% women would care a little more about women's wellbeing. I wonder if they would be happy to share shower and toilet facilities with people with male bodies... 🤔

It sounds like you've answered your own question at the end there.

I wonder if he really thought that, or if he was OK with a romantic relationship and is now trying to conceal that fact. 🤷‍♂️

Where's the support for women who don't want a male body in their private space? Quite a betrayal.

I'm not sure of the Thai law, but I think that in the West the guy would be charged for the criminal offence, and the victims could also sue him for damages. Is that not possible in Thailand?

People can be very stupid, but not so stupid that it's a threat to humanity. There are tons of obviously fake videos on Facebook (and probably most platforms) where the story is clearly not real and the people are badly acting, but there are still masses of comments from people who clearly believe that what they are seeing is real. It's so bad that I wonder if everyone views the world the same, or do some have some sort of filter, like colour-blindness, where they just don't see what is actually there. But, I think there always have and always will be a lot of stupid people around.

It's interesting that it never occurred to him that rarely leaving home or socialising might not be a sign of being a "good girl", or at least that it might make her easy to target and manipulate.

I don't think there is any doubt as to whether it works. As you say, it even works with us slightly more suspicious Westerners. I think the issue is that the level of Thai naivety is somewhere around thinking that if someone is dressed nicely or is rich, then they can definitely be trusted and what they say is fact, when it really needs to be somewhere more realistic.

While true, a lot of people really can't stand seeing someone who has a relationship with someone under 18 not being called a paedophile. As in, they get suspiciously angry about it. 🤔

Probably the new woke definition of racism: saying anything factually true but potentially negative about a non-White person or people.

And the facts, as in the exchange reported in the article, suggest that she is saying that the things that the man is talking about are happening, as in the people he is claiming are being killed are being killed. The exchange doesn't suggest that she is agreeing that there is genocide. The lines you quoted, however, do suggest that. The article seems to be twisting Harris's words, as are you. Presumable, this is why you have chosen to quote only a very small amount of what Harris has said, while you've quoted multiple lines from the person accusing her of something. So, upon inspecting the article (the facts), it makes it even more clear that you are being deceptive.

It doesn't do that, though, as you've failed to supply enough context. You've quoted her saying "What he's talking about is real", but you've failed to explain who "he" is or what "he's talking about". It's very weak. You're claiming it is an expert, but it's just someone's opinion, and they may not be an expert at all. Also, given the topic, they might be heavily biased and lying. It's simply something that you are claiming. The best thing to do is to just present everything that is said, then let people make up their own minds. As I said, you've not really presented the facts very well and you're relying mostly on opinion to make your point, so it feels a lot like propaganda. Out of context quote + random person saying "they said X but this actually means they are saying Y and that makes them bad" = a very weak post.

Hardly surprising, outside of what never-Trumpers say, Harris doesn't seem too popular. It's very hard to transform someone's image from the female George Bush to the female Obama overnight.

Sine he stepped down from the presidential race, due to the dementia that the left said was just a speech impediment, he's been keeping a low profile. I think they believe that he can only harm the Dems' image. It says a lot about how active he actually is as a president in the first place.

You seem a little confused about discussing things that someone has said. You should quote what they say, of course, but you don't then quote someone else's opinion about what that person has said, as if that is proof that they meant whatever that person is claiming. So, the first quote is useful, while the second two quotes are meaningless. You should enhance the first quote by adding relevant context and more quotes from the actual discussion. As it is, your post has a very propagandist/misinformation feel to it. And I'm no fan of Harris.

Not just "blah blah blah", "but blah blah" then a lie that has been debunked repeatedly but left-wing nut-jobs just won't let go of, no matter how many times people point out that it's wrong. They sit on a throne of lies.

You seem confused about what this forum is for. If you seriously want to engage with people here, and you aren't just trolling, I suggest you don't accuse everyone on the forum of being a sexpat.

You often see something like "doing X with a minor under 15" in the news reports here. Presumably that indicates some sort of differentiation.
