Sir Dude

Guess we are done here.

Okay fine, attack the content until it goes away or is proven wrong, but no reason for personal insults... that's BS and something I don't do. I might say what someone says is BS, but I don't attack them personsally in a vicious way saying all sorts of judgemental things about them... as when you do that, you lose the argument.

This is a great example of how trolling ASEAN now is with some of the resident trolls.... so many times it's attack the poster and try to belittle them instead of disagreeing with the content of posts. This is unhealthy and a negative for the forum... fine if you disagree with the content, but no reason to attack the poster with personal insults. I know we can't say anything about moderation, but, well, okay. Another troll on the ignore list.

Nonsense, measels has and is around in many places and never vanished, and the others on that list have only been erradicated in certain areas. This post is a huge pile of trolling freshy-laid steaming BS. Don't believe it, then Google each one... nothing to do with anti-vaxers.

People have lost faith in the medical establishment and industry. Long time ago we managed to erradicate smallpox, but nothing since. I try not to be too cynical, but as long as it is hugely profitable to treat rather than cure, then we will always be unhealthy. It's also a little like how Ike after WW2 was against making an industrial military complex and industry as if war is always profitable, then there will always be wars. There has been much erosion of trust in big pharma and the medical industry and of instituations like the WHO, FDA or the AMA etc. in the recent past as much detrayal is suspected... and let's not even get started on the Chinese vaccines, WHO chief Ted Dross covering up for Beijing, and why the files for big pharma on Covid/vaccine are sealed for 75 years and they have been given immunity from prosecution etc. I'm not a huge conspiracy theorist, but there is plenty that doesn't pass the smell test and is highly suspicious... people just don't blindly trust or believe what they are told now, so it gets even more murky and opaque, and maybe by design.

Going down the "If she's trustworty..." route, whether married or not, and you have been together for a long time with you thinking of just opening her an account in her name to avoid all the hassle, then open one which is in her name but has no ATM card and only a bank book... then hold onto the bank book yourself and each month deposit money into her account (tell her it's for her future), or if you get notice of your upcoming demise, then transfer more. I can't imagine a long-term trustworthy partner being anything other than content with that arrangement, plus you maintain a degree of control over the situation. Just an idea that ran past me sometime... key factor is the word "trustworthy" obviously though.

I'm a fan of the lyrics in Hendrix songs... very relevant, even now. However, many kids and old people are lost... although, the Eagle's song like "Hotel California" is a good example of the EU and other institutions now etc. haha.

Again... subjective response... opinions are like <deleted>, everyone has one (Clint Eastwood). Try to challenge the idea or statement... not attack the person, as you'll get more respect if you do that.

Subjective topic.... haters going to hate. No need for personal attacks... stick to the topic.

You confused people would not like the real answer to that... hence why Reform UK is crushing it. If you are not Bristish, then I forgive your ignorance... but if you are from the UK, then you might as well vote for the Illiberal undemocrats with that opinion.

Not Brexit really as Brexit hasn't really being delivered due to spinless politicians. The reason the immies are all coming to the UK is because of the far-left policies and pull factors, which make it so easy for them, and that is not the case in most EU countries. The UK system prioritizes illegal immigrants over our own homeless and veterans etc., which is not just dumb but dangerous in the long run as people will eventually boil over, and we are starting to see signs of that already. The only way to stop the boats is to take away the pull factors and make it less attractive than other places... do a Denmark or Australia, that will work. The clock is ticking for the UK government to do something meaningful about it or soon Farage will be PM... which might be a good wakeup call for the deluded and lost two traditional parties. Even the far-lefties like Unite union baron types are getting pi$$ed off with Labour, as no-one really knows what they stand for, same goes for the Tories (won't call them conservatives because they aren't).

And watch the baht strengthen... again.

Corbyn is a polarizing figure and will just split the lefty vote... go for it moron. The left at the moment is a collection of fools that only have in common that they hate the Tories... but don't realise there is a lot of difference between themselves.

Well, Hun Sen is guilty of being a Khmer Rouge district commander and should be in jail for his misdeeds.

Well OP, I'll give you the answer for many even if some think you are not a real poster. Have you never heard of the old adage "You can take a girl out of a bar but you can't take the bar out of a girl"? I guess there is a certain amount of time before that applies, and how long they need to work there before it's true, I don't know... anyone's guess is as good as mine. However, bar girls are not just exposed to the cynical indifference of the customers, but also the harshness and oppression or the bar owners/police and other bar girls all fighting for the money etc.... a dark employment environment indeed that is not conducive to an optimistic outlook on life and will harden them up quick because it means survival. Personally, if I ever go to bars (not so much these days), as I enjoy the environment sometimes and I don't bar fine them ever, then I still treat all the women really well, tip, and with humanity... as I know how things really work here in this field of employment for them.

Looks like yet another trolling anti-white westerner thread zeroing in on the US and Europe. No mention of scamming Chinese hoards or penniless Indians that camp on the beach at night instead of having a hotel room and bring electric rice cookers with batteries so the can cook outside... not even a mention of dodgy Russians evading the draft and trying anything and everything to stay, legally or not. Nice try at trolling though, give you that... but ultimately a fail.

Bad idea to sell any of these countries jets used by Nato , as likely they/information will be passed on for reverse engineering to Beijing to gain favour. Luckily for the UK that India and Beijing hate eachother, otherwise its recently stranded F-35B that got stuck at an Indian airport would be a disaster waiting to happen... even though, wonder if anyone tried to get a good look at it, even the Indians.

Thailand has a hard job on this front, as the US is obviously rightly wary of Thailand's closeness to China and its usual fence sitting trying to play both sides. Also, Thailand slaps tariffs on every imported item, it varies wildly from product to product regarding how much, but clearly Thailand will have to accept reciprical tariffs at the very least... canit have it both ways. The real thing they have to convince the US of is the origin-washing/transshipping issue, as trust is minimal on this one and much sneakiness will be employed by the Chinese to get around it... probably with the help of ASEAN countries, hence why the tariffs will be higher here, just to make sure.

No point keep posting these scare stories as the the public's trust and respect for the WHO, big pharma, and the medical industry in general has seriously erroded in the last five years. For example, who listens to what the CCP stooge Ted Dross of the WHO says anymore?

There is absolutely some truth in that comment SM... even if other stuff caps it off.

Anutin clearly saying who is the boss here.

Okay, the women are a big positive, but there's more to it than that. Many guys just want to leave their past behind and reinvent themselves or try to build an alternative or new life, try again... which I don't see why that is wrong, fair play. There is also the stretching your money more in a place that is generally safe with a great climate that pretty much leaves you alone as long as you are not a Richard (although Thailand is becoming increasingly expsensive). Also, many western countries are becoming increasingly, well, problematic to live in with all the immigration, sky-high taxes, lack of social cohesion etc., and quite frankly anti-older people sentiment... the young are slowly starting to dislike older people because they worked, saved, and control everything, with the kiddies wanting everything now without working for it. I got out long ago as I saw the writing on the wall, but I totally agree with anyone who has had enough and wants to reinvent their life somewhere else like this... just have to realise that nowhere is perfect and Thailand has its caveats too, plus you need a mindset that has latitude and tolerance, but also a little suspicious as scams are everywhere. Horses for courses obviously, but the petty bureaucracy and anal paperwork is annoying as Thailand moves on a sea of paper and information, which is a big turn-off imo.

The UK needs to stop digging and put the spade down as the hole is getting too big to climb out of. You want diversity, well, good luck with all the intolerance and lack of intergration that brings... you reap what you sow and the UK is becoming a disfunctional benefits system country with a weak economy, that rewards uselessness and work-shy people at the expence of people who graft and save. That is a dangerous situation to be in, as the pushback will eventually be strong... or everyone useful will just flee/riot. The far-left in Europe will facilitate the rise of their opposite as the rot will continue to go so far due to the liberal elite's failure to address problems people really care about, that a new generation plus the disillusioned will opt for the opposite instead, always like this... which is why the answers are to be found in the middle, not too hot and not too cold as the extrtemes on both sides only offer failure. You would have thought politicians and the public would have worked this out by now, instead of this mindset that everyone who came before them were stupid and we can get it right this time by doing the same thing... reminds me of Einstein's definition of Insanity.

Looks more like to me that the taxis mafia has got its way and these new rules look like doing its bidding... seems intentionally complicated now for both drivers and passangers.

The South Africa guy at 1255 days is an average effort on the overstay front. Although, pretty noob job from the Myanmar dude at only 510 days.
