  1. 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.

  3. 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.

    A lot of foreign men move to Thailand at least partly because the only women that they have a chance of being with back home are women their own age. Why would you want to be with a bossy, nosy, difficult 65 or 70 year old woman, if you do not have to? No thanks. Life is too short for that.

     

     

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

  5. Thailand, and a few other Asian countries, are the type of places that you just have do the "whatever" response, or you will end up nuts... a good anology is "It's like lying down in a stream and just letting the water flow over you". That doesn't mean you have to like everything or can't be critical, but it means you have to just let it go.... many people are wrapped far too tight for here, and probably too tight for where they came from for that matter, but had expectations it would be different.

    One thing many people struggle with is unrealistic expectations and a difficulty to accept difference in culture... some can hack it, some can't. To have longevity here, you need open mindedness, tolerance, acceptance, willingness to learn and latitude on a whole bunch of stuff, and many people simply don't have that, as they are a product of the western self-centered "Me" culture and my rights etc. South East Asia is great for many, but not all, and it all depends on you and your mindset. However, nothing new here for those that have resided here a long time and endured.

  6. Well, just the intolerance of the left... just remember how all far-left socialist governments end up in death, oppession, and famine throughout history... even existong ones are a mess (think Cuba/Venezuela etc.). There is no difference between the far-left and the far-right... Stalin's communist Russia killed even more than Hilter, and then you have Mao, who managed more than anyone ever. The answers are to be found in the middle... scientists call it "the Goldilocks zone", which is not too hot and not too cold, just right.

  7. Musk is clearly super clever and successful... but with that comes caveats, same for all great inventors/artists/thinkers/boundry pushing types, and those caveats are often personal flaws, like ego/drunkeness/delusions of grandeur etc.

    Musk, like many in the modern world, should stick to what they are good at and not fall into the trap of because you are good at one thing means you should be listened to on all topics. Another example of this is musicians that get political, people aren't interested in your politics, they like your music... so stand down, as most people find it irritating when someone who has no experience in something starts mouthing off or lectures everyone on something they are unqualified to do so. Yes, people on forums etc. give there opinion but that on a tiny scale, but these types use their platform they got for something else to spout off about something they know no more about than "Bob" down the pub. We don't ask nurses about soldiering or plumbers about gardening... we ask those who know about it. Muppets up their own backsides everywhere now.

  8. And they allow completely deluded morons like him to teach on a university campus... ridiculous political bias should not be part of young peoples' education. They should be teaching critical thinking and soft skills... not this nonsense. Idiot should be fired and put out to pasture where he can't do any damage... only rant to himself.
