I won't judge other members that way, but yes, it's clear trump is mentally ill and he's trying to infect the world with his peculiarly bizarre mental state, and to a large extent, horrifically, he's succeeding. 

And your medical creditionals which give your the knowlege and experience to determine if one is mentally ill or not ? 

One suspects your not qualified to make that determination, with the required Phd letters after your name

And this is better than a minority of right wing leaning voters imposing "their way"? Or did you just conveniently forget that you lost the popular vote?



Happy Trails

 

Well one cannot state whether what Trump is better or worse than than any left or right wingers imposing their way at the moment, but one one can say for certain left wingers are making a complete cock of the world currently and will ultimately push certain countries to the brink of war, specfically in Europe 

Its their blinded cultural Marxism which have sowed the seeds of the likes of Trump, farage, Le Pen etc 

The times are a changin and its needed and long over due 

If the new administration in the US needs time to sort out the mess as regards immigration and to a assess things properly one needs to temporarly  not allow certain groups of people into the US, then so be it, if thats what it takes to sort this mess out properly

What I can't believe is that Trump's ban includes individuals that are dual citizens.

How can you bar US citizens from returning to the US ? Isn't getting US citizenship enough "extreme" vetting

This is what happens when "outsiders" craft executive orders that won't pass legal muster. This administration is going to go down in history as being the most litigated in US history

Actually any country can, its one of the draw backs of dual nationality, recognising dual nationality is not a "right" in the UK now one has to declare dual citizenship and give them a copy of the "other passport" upto a few years ago the UK didnt care, ultimately the US may get to the point of forcing dual nationals to choose what they want to be

But what Thailand doesn't offer is a route to permanent residency for those who are married to a Thai national and prove a monthly income, which is the basis for permanent residency in many other Countries.

 

Everything offered is based on 'temporary stays of 90 days'

Yes it does...the route is there, its whether one qualifies or not is the question

No different to the UK, British citizen marries a Thai, cant meet finanical requirements for UK, Thai national will not be getting UK PR and will not be getting in the UK either 

The 90 day reporting thing is hardly a burden

Why is that relevant? Thais don't need visas. Most countries have restrictive financial requirements for visas like this.

 

Most countries dont even allow retirement visas any more, and your correct many have quite high finanical requirements and for good reason, they want to make sure a pensioner has adequate financial means to ensure so they dont become a burden on the state.

Cant see what opposition is by some people, farangs have been howling for a longer visa for years and now it appears there is a 10 year one availible they are still whinging....some one stated " farang go home" in post...strange comment, if Thai authorites didnt want farangs here they wouldnt be doing this 10 year visa would they ?

Thailand provides multple, low hassle routes for long term stay in Thailand , this is not indicative of a country who doesnt want long term stayers, so what do we have ?

5 year visas for all

20 year visas for all 

In process - 10 year retirement visa

Investment visas 

Seems to me Thailand is pretty generous as regards whats availible to pensioners as regards T&Cs and finanical requirements

Madonna has a filthy mouth and should have been dragged off the stage. How can the left let someone on a stage address women and children and say what she did... you also had the Hillary rap concert awhile back using the N and F words every time they opened their mouths. I am not right wing but if this is the way the left conduct themselves perhaps Right is the correct way to go.
I have stopped watching a few shows and stopped listening to a few singers as they can't stay in the middle. I don't want some moron telling me how I should think. I think boycott those who are in the entertainment industry who can't keep their mouths shut, right and left !

This is the thing, the left is the new right, and the old right is now center...LOL confused you soon will be

Funny that bet i am younger than you LOL, i still a few years before i even hit mimimum age for a retirement visa 

So i am not an old man, or bitter, in fact what happened to me was the best thing that could have happened, it made me  move on to other climes, boosted my income by 40% a year and will allow me to retire in my early 50s being very financially secure, irrespective of where i choose to live

Then trump should go to jail too for his encouragement of people in his campaign to murder Hillary Clinton if she won. 

Now tell the story properly, he didnt encourage his people to murder anyone...your telling porkies , his remark referred to "2nd ammendment people "  and not all "gun supporters" are Trump supporters...

You know you can go to jail for telling porkies as well 

To quote the telegraph

Donald Trump suggests " 2nd amendment people" could act against Hillary Clinton"

Where do you get the 65k/month figure? 

 

So, are you saying it's now cheaper for you to live in Europe than it is to live in Thailand? That's hard to believe.

I would hazard a guess and state some places in Europe are cheaper to live in than Thailand, Greece springs to mind as one, Italy another

Well with a user name like 'Savile's ghost' and a location of Pattaya I assume that you are not different!! 

 

I didnt say I was better than anybody. However, I've been a member on this site since 2005 and I've read thousands of stories of old Western guys being done over by younger women they met in bars. They never seem to learn. Yes its a stereotype and a generalisation but sometimes stereotypes ring true! 

 

 

Funny how a name and location causes some people to jump to conclusions and start making assumptions about others based on no facts at all ?

Yes you did infer you were better than others and now you go off topic with a "do you know who i am type post" LOL

Human nature is such IMO that one either capitulates to dogma or opposes that dogma with one's own dogma; believing that setting an example of tolerance towards a dogma is to no avail because by its very nature dogma is intolerant.

Well surely it's a good idea to marry someone that you trust? I trust my wife but then again, we are the same age and met while working in the same office...

Ah and the classic "my wife is different gambit"  while at the same time trying to infer somebody elses wife is not the same age or even trying to infer a  BG angle

Pathetic attempt to try and suggest your better than other people 

I trusted my western wife who was the same age, same education, same "social status, , familes socicalised together and on paper a match that should have been made in heaven, and yes i trusted her...in the beginning at least and fast forward 12 years figured out how my trust had been misplaced

She is wrong, she has to go. Germany is headed for catastrophe if this isn't pulled up immediately. If the fundamentals of an ideology is domination NOT integration then why would you anyone believe this immigration policy will work.

Metaphor: implied or hidden comparison between two things that are unrelated but share some common characteristics.

 

So, how is "blowing up" and "White House" a metaphor? 

Madonna -  Subject

Blowing up  -  Verb

White House  - Object
I don't see a metaphor.  I see a potential crime committed that will definitely get the secret service's attention directed toward Ms. Madonna.  She probably blew up her chances of not to receive a visit from the Secret Service.

Populism may not help.

 

What would help is

a firm and equally applied immigration policy,

an end to mass migration,

affirmative action to promote secularism over the unwanted rise of fundamentalism (principally stemming from Islamic sources but I include all others),

a much firmer criminal treatment of human traffickers,

reduction/elimination of benefits to migrants to combat benefit tourism,

internment camps for asylum seekers/undocumented migrants,

indefinite detention for failed asylum seekers/recalcitrant deportees, etc.,

preferential treatment for housing and schools and other local services for those who can demonstrate at 3 generations in the area,

an end to having to bow to the intolerant, backward and discriminatory beliefs and superstitions of intolerant, backward and discriminatory peoples for fear of being branded racist and even arrested and charged.

I am intrigued by this newspeak term populism ?...

its being inferred that its somehow a bad thing, populism is the foundation of democracy, it the popular person who gets voted in, or the popular vote which gets carried ie Brexit

Ergo if one is anti populist one is anti democratic, and this has been shown as true in both the UK and US in more recent times, the little cultural marxist with their "pussy harts" are as anti democratic,intolerant of opposing view points and possible as violent in their responses  as Lil Kim is in North Korea

There are many more minorities in the world, than just refugees!

How many refugees are there in Europe ? Versus ecomonic migrants ?...dont start quoting MSM lies about the vast majority in the EU are refugees...no they are not...the vast majority are ecomonic migrants who have took advantage of Merkels failed polices, to get into Europe with their grubby little hands out looking for freebies

The only ones taking away peoples rights are those pigs in trough lot in Brussels except the some people are just too stupid to see it 

Your remarks appear to come from a left wing cultural marxist text book, all hot air with no substance just branding and insulting people who disagree with your brain washed view point

Befitting you.

Hardly hysterical, i am not a leftie luvvie, thats their forte, what are trying to say re the last word in your first sentence ?

Your making absolutely no sense and why is it perverse ?

If one cant see what is happening in Europe with regard to increased violence, then one is blind and stupid, and the lefties have only themselves to blame, they have caused this
