Sir Dude

Looks like I pushed a button in you.... hmm, maybe you shouldn't post on such emotional topics for you. And BTW... what you call "lies" are just subjective and your point of view.... which are like <deleted>, everyone has one.

No need for personal attacks... attack the post content with a sound retort, not the person, or I'll flag that post as it rightly deserves.

Indeed, just have to see how it shakes out, for good or ill... I'm just grabbing the popcorn rather than bitching about it, time will tell.

As an aside, Trump has bet the farm on this, so it's make or break... if it fails, then all his critics will have all the ammo they need to get rid of him and consign him to the dustbin of history, but if he's right and it works, then there will be much denial and blubbing that would be able to be heard on the moon. All the doubters should feel good about it, it's a do or die move by Trump and few politicians ever do this... all the haters may get exactly what they want and revel in their glee at some point, or be completely horrified and do a stockbroker off the nearest building. As I said, only time will tell and we will all see how it shakes out... for good or ill, haha. You all should be looking forward to the endgame regardless of what side you are on.

That is yet to be seen and I don't think we can have it all squared away just yet... the dust needs to settle and see if the trading relationships change for the better or worse for the US and the rest of the world. Too early to call, you could be right, but hey... no crystal balls are available. We will all need to see where the dust settles... if it's a screw up for the West, then fine, many will get their mandate to brag, if not, then many will look very silly and go very quiet. Only time will tell as history is a harsh judge.

Strong is the lefty hatred on Asean Now... impressive, give you that.

Well, Trumps methods can be argued about, but he has got over 70 countries to the negotiating table regarding their own tariffs and lack of free trade attitudes etc... so far enough. What he has done is a means to an end, as the US can screw everyone over if it wants, but would rather not, hence the pause in tariffs other than for China (who full deserves it). The US has leverage and it looks like Trump is using it, even if the US will negotiate better terms from all these countries for itself that want to continue to do business with the US market. There is a lot of lefty entitled misguided hysteria... Trump just wants a better deal for the US, and isn't scared to wave a threatening stick at other countries. It looks like the Trump administration will get at least some of what it wants, even if not everything... as there will be new trade deals negotiated soon to avoid the worst of the tariffs. Smart move really on behalf of the US as the piss has been taken by so many for a long time... how can you be like Thailand that levies a 72% tax on US goods and then get the hump when the US says it will put a 36% reciprocal tax on Thai goods? No, doesn't work like that unless in Far-Far-away Land.

Clearly discrimination and likely illegal... isn't this what Americans call "affirmative action" before the woke label came along? Some real vindictive idiots are now in control of the UK.

There's no reason for animal cruelty... scumbags like this should get a prison term. If you are going to have a pet, be responsible, not a scumbag.

Talk to Carlsberg and Pepsi about how this will shakeout... will soon see a new coffee brand at the old Nescafe factory after they swipe the product recipe and rebrand everything. This is how it works... can also go ask that gold mining company too how it works, which is do a joint venture for a while, then the Thai company family boots you out and steals everything. This has happened so many times.

This sort of stuff is just ludicrous and getting way out of control. Why can't you call and orange an orange... erm no, because it's a deviant banana. Never heard such rubbish. So glad I bailed from the UK because saw the writing on the wall... awful place to live now.

Oh dear, oh dear... pretty messy, looks like lunchtime or early afternoon too. When it gets to the point where you get all fisty-cuffs and start running down the road after someone, only to collaspe on the road in a alcoholic mess, then time to go sleep it off muppet.

The most annoying type of Youtuber moron there is. People that do this stuff make others uncomfortable and really it's disrespectful harassment... unwanted gutter humour at someone else's expense that belongs in the bygone past, rather like it was funny to be the moron 50-60 years ago. What is actually disturbing is that there are so many subscribers to such scumbag content... and then when it goes wrong, they squeal "It's a prank..." etc. like a little girl in an effort to avoid a well-deserved hiding or arrest, no, no way, take the consequences for being a contemptible muppet. Well, can't say much more than karma for this idiot and what a country to get thrown into jail in... enjoy your new boyfriend in your cell for the next few months.

Blame Noel Webster, he's the one who led Americans away from how to speak English properly... in favour of "American" English, as there is no such thing as "British" English, it's just English.

Thailand has to move toward a volunteer army that has good pay, conditions, pensions etc. and it will get the most capable young men joining who want to fight and progress... conscript armies suck and can't perform. Thailand needs to move away from high level officers seeing their troops as slaves to serve them, do their gardening, wash their laundry, drive around their wives around on shopping trips etc. and enter the real world.

The left wants to destroy everything that all western countries once stood for, and turn them into an amorphous blob of a characterless soup that resembles a weak and valueless entity. The biggest lie you have been told is "Diverity is our strength"... if you believe that, then you are a lost cause that has drank far too much lefty Kool-aid. The West was strong in the 90s... should go back to that before the BS took over.

If you can be bothered and want to be organised, then I'd say go to the Laos consulate in Khon Kaen on the the way up there, and get your paperwork etc. done before you reach the border, which makes things smoother on arrival. Also, Khon Kaen is a good city to spend a night in and has a huge university, so that means plenty of hotel and nightlife options.

Lol... sounds legit. Maybe you have had too many Thai sticks or purple haze buds today, getting late. Also, quoting from Fox news is about as fair and balanced as Tucker Carlson's visit to Moscow to interview Putler. In the UK, it would be akin to asking the Guardian to do a balanced article on the rights and wrongs of the immigration and benefits issue... with recommendation to the Labour Party for action.

Chlorinated chicken is the poster-boy product for all that is wrong with US food... but even if they allowed it in, pretty much no-one would buy it because of its infamous rep. As long as food stuffs are clearly labeled, then who cares? It's a little bit nanny state BS to say that people are too stupid to make decisions for themselves on what to buy if clearly labelled... if you buy the likes of chlorinated chicken, then you deserve the consequences for being a complete moron.

Guess that's a personal choice... as highlighted by my comment regarding logistics. Yes, there are deals to be had, but no blanket rules of all things. Also, I'm not a big fan of the domestic "Dan Dare airlines" in many places... would rather drive, just personally don't like flying.

I forgive you for not being a fan of the X-Files.... and yes, back to superfoods.

Certain environments attract certain types... may they reap what they sow, like everyone else.

Pic isn't about smoking... it's a reference to the deep state and puppeteers that endure and control things behind the scenes, regardless who is in charge, like manipulating a marionette. Doesn't matter what you vote for, the same is delivered. However, we are talking about healthy superfoods that help your heath... impressive distraction, give you that.

The word "flight" is just wrong on a budget of what we are talking about... in the context of this thread, we should be saying bus or train.

Indeed... along with other recreational drugs, illegal or otherwise. However, you are right, smoking is a huge red flag and should be ditched asap. I smoked for 10 years and gave up 25 years ago... best thing I ever did.
