  1. There are so many hate threads about Trump because for some reason he's massively triggers lefties to a crazy extent... almost to a ridiculous extent. It really is somewhat strange that Trump triggers so many so much... almost like it's a mental condition for many. I'm not a huge Trump supporter, as I'm somewhat ambivalent on it really... but am a little surprised at the psychological hate some have, which seems a bit unhealthy to me.
  2. So much lefty hate toward the UK because of Brexit... and so many CCP/Russian bots and haters on this forum, along with fact deniers etc. If you think the CCP/Russian bots aren't on this forum being shills and spouting their propaganda, then you are a moron.
  3. However, on a different angle, this has much deep roots to consider. It seems to me that somone intentionally released that phone call on an unsecure line between the Thai PM and Hun Sen. I don't think Hun Sen released it, If I was to guess it would the the US through the PRISM system who can track any communications on earth is not securely protected, even then, they might be able to. Think who are the losers and winners here. The casino thing and Thailand's drift towards Beijing has been interupted, Hun Sen has been humiliated, and China thought it could wade into the crisis and appear the peacemaker plus gain influence and legitimacy etc... none of which has turned out, along with China's BRI plans for Thailand and Cambodia have been set back too. It is interesting that the main Cambodian opposition leader in Thailand was the one to release the recording of that conversation. Wonder how he got it other than being given it? There is much unseen power-play and off-screen plots going off here than most realise.
  4. Thailand should use this window of opportunity to hit Cambodian military assets hard and send a strong message to the war criminal Hun Sen and his cronies not to mess with the SEA military powerhouse, as Cambodia is no match for the Thai military. Cambodia made a mistake targeting civilian places as that's a war crime... so Thailand is well within its right to go the whole 9 yards and take out as much Cambodian military assets as they can, and get valuable experience and data from it all. If Thailand wanted, they could easily snatch that temple and surrounding land in a ground invasion just to humiliate Hun Sen, who I dislike a lot.
  5. Russia has made a huge screw up invading Ukraine and is trying to lash out at anyone and everyone in an attempt to seem hard and powerful. Thing is, Russia has signed it's own demise by being such a completely nasty BS authoritarian country.... it will be bled dry like the Soviet Union was, with Putler making the same mistakes that Brezhnev made with his failed policies on the same idea.
  6. The "truth" is subjective like with many other topics... just simply what you think to be okay/right or wrong etc. but it doesn't make you right or wrong either way, need evidence which is usually hard to find. It's the same with things like music or beauty.... there is no such thing as good or bad music, it's just music. It just depends on what you think is good music or not... same goes for beauty and fashion and a whole load of other stuff. Just what you think is good or bad/right or wrong.
  7. On a local level in ASEAN, Cambodia is no match for Thailand militarily... Thailand can and should wipe the floor with them. Cambodia has targeted civilian targets because they have the old soviet weapon systems that can't hit a barn door at 200 meters. This is a good chance for Thailand to show it's power and put the scumbags in Cambodia in their place... do it.
  8. If Thailand's military really wanted to humiliate Cambodia on a force application front, it could do it very easily... as Thailand's armed forces are way bigger and better than Cambodia's rag-tag army of infantry with no meaningful airforce etc. Thailand should humiliate Cambodia militarily with a show of force, as the Cambodians are using indiscriminate Russian missile systems... good chance for Thailand to show it's power, as it has the 14th largest army in the world. A show of force and humiliate Hun Sen, the war criminal, who is an ex-Khmer Rouge district commander who has blood on his hands and has been an international war criminal for decades.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Subjective topic.... haters going to hate. No need for personal attacks... stick to the topic.
  17. 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.
  18. 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).
  19. 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.
  20. Well, Hun Sen is guilty of being a Khmer Rouge district commander and should be in jail for his misdeeds.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
