  1. Most tests are designed to give an averge IQ score of 99, think that's the accepted technical average... so, 89 seems slightly low, but not by much and could entirely be true in a society which has an outdated and flawed education system. Also, however, due to social media and the proclivity to just mindlessly stare into their phones whilst often displaying a shocking lack of emotional intelligence, then I'm not surprised if such levels are becoming more general in many societies, not only Thailand (Ideocracy film here we come in the not so distant future - "Welcome to Cosco, I love you"). There are many different types of IQ tests, but I think some of the better ones are the sequential grid pattern types that want you to figure out what the next grid pattern will be to continue the sequence, as it also tests your problem-solving skills too.
  2. I remember reading a quote from a Cambodian official in an article recently on this matter, which went along the lines of "This is all happening because the Thai government is unable to control its army." Funny.
  3. The nonsense posted on this forum knows no bounds on the BS front.... just Russian and Chinese bot accounts posting propaganda (and if you think they don't do this everywhere, then you are deluded). You are all going to feel the wrath of the West soon... China is collapsing interally, through CCP fascism and debt, and Xi J is done, because he messed it up big time, with Wen Jaibao + Hu Jintao and the other "Elders" taking control now, as Xi has effed-it-up so bad. Expect a new Chinese CCP president to be soon announced after the 4th Plenum, which is going to happen very soon. Putler is on borrowed time... and will soon fall too. Russia can't even take Ukraine after losing a million soldiers and spending hundreds of billions of dollars... they have been exposed as an all gas and no trousers paper tiger. If Russia takes on a Nato country, it will have a second hole ripped... just nonsense what these Kremlin-paid stooges say, it's complete BS and Russia is just a playground bully, all threats and no substance. Russia also has to worry about the Chinese desire to get back the territory Russia annexed long ago in the far-east that China considers as historically theirs. It's not as simple as some people think.
  4. I read a funny article recently that said it's all about the Thai government has no control over the Thai army... and it does what it wants to, lol, how true.
  5. Many people are asking why the Chinese visitor numbers are going down. Well, if you dig a little deeper, then you will find that part of the problem is that the Chinese authorities are making it harder for Chinese citizens to leave the country, and I've read lots of articles about them having passports confiscated/cancelled for no reason, people being stopped from boarding flights for the slightest reason... almost as if the are actively trying to stop people from leaving/fleeing. Internally, China is in deep do-do really at the moment due to a collapsing financial system/debt and many are trying to get out, including the rich that want to take the new American Gold Visa offer for $5 million which starts soon. Also, as mentioned, Thailand has had a bad rap recently about not being safe with all the scam centers and kidnapping etc., but what they fail to tell the Chinese people is that it is Chinese scam gangs that are doing this... so, Chinese kidnapping and enslaving their fellow citizens.
  6. This idiot needs to be jailed... as if the's not illegally hunting wildlife in national parks, then he is okaying dodgy construction deals with evil Chinese companies to build death-trap buildings etc. in Thailand. Needs to be made an example of.
  7. Whenever I go to any bars or tourist hotspots, it reminds me of the song by Boney M... "Daddy cool". For example, "She's crazy like a fool... what about Daddy Cool".
  8. Typical BS from those idiots that write such articles. What? You come for a short time to Thailand and straight away think you are Carl Jung on the psychological stuff in other countries. Clearly you understand nothing of Thai/Asian culture and that perceptions of beauty are completely different here, not to mention they don't want your silly DEI rubbish either... and I see very few "traumatized" Thai males about as the girls are naturally slim here, and if they aren't, then stop feasting and you'll be okay. Beauty is subjective, and the locals like it how it is, same goes for the rest of Asia... the girls are naturally slim, leave them to it. Even in the West, it has always been fashionable to be slim, look how many are using weight-loss jabs and any idea to lose weight. Take your sanctimonious DEI nonsense and judgement and shove it where the sun doesn't shine... stop lecturing people, get over yourself, making issues where there aren't any, and let do/like what they want to. All this sort of nonsense is just an attempt at social engineering... which is sinister.
  9. It's not a huge surprise that such types are sexual deviants.. their contempt and arrogance knows no bounds and is consistent with their racial roots too.
  10. It's happening because they are all nutjobs with mental health issues and have spent no time in reality... just fashionable for lost kids.
  11. Six dead... means nothing when you have 50 or so dying on the roads everyday and other stuff like the flu killing more. Just a bunch of scare-mongering nonsense to screw with the weak minded and create fear. Governments want you living in fear as it makes you more controllable... but the truth is, when your time is up, doesn't matter how fast you run... it's time.
  12. The UK has it so wrong on so many fronts regarding immigrants and "refugees/asylum seekers", which they are not... just the deluded lefty morons in charge making big mistakes. There will eventually be a huge backlash against this and this is how you end up with vigilanties doing as they see fit because the law has let them down, just a matter of time.
  13. As usual... Fakeland, and didn't take long.
  14. Judging by the photo and info presented, are you sure he didn't just do a Grizzly Adams and go live deep in the nearest forest? Maybe search the hills for some wildman... could find him.
  15. Hilarious how triggered people on this forum are about Trump... so many mental issues observable on this forum from so many, haha. You all need to get over yourselves unless you are CCP bots... which is very likely.
  16. Both are a pair of morons that should be jailed long enough to think about their gay entitlement and mental issues... 10 years should be about right.
  17. Who cares? If you want to eat rubbish, then so be it... accept the consequences.
  18. She is nothing other than a nice bit of ass to look at... that's it.
  19. Unelected judges should stop meddling in politics and stick to crime... plus it's absurd that they are lecturing everyone from their ivory towers. Let elected people govern and things be decided at the ballot box, instead of at a court. The weaponization of the courts by the left is unhelpful, unwelcome, divisive, and full of BS.
  20. Obviously rotten to the core, just depends if there are any powerful enough people to bring the truth to the for... unlikely though.
  21. Well, on this one I agree. Putler is a menace and a threat to the world, who hails from the KGB under Soviet dictators, and who has overseen the murder and organised killings of so many millions in the name of control and suppression reasons... only coming second to the crimes against humanity that were committed by Mao and the CCP... who both continue to wreak havok on their respective societies. You only have to look back into the real history of these two countries to see just how many millions they have indifferently sent to their deaths for political reasons... makes the Nazis look like boy-scouts.
  22. Need to nip this nonsense in the bud and deport them so that anyone else doesn't think they can pull this BS.... these morons do not belong in the West and have nothing in common with us... nothing but a cancer in society. Deport them or lock them up as they are idiots.
  23. China is in trouble, but mainly internally due to the CCP's decisions, not Trump or Tariffs etc., although they are the icing on the cake. China has started to implode because of the CCP's and Xi's decisions regarding control freakery on everything... and it all started with their disasterous Covid policy, politicizing of busnesses by requiring every company board has a party political Kommissar member to monitor compliance etc. On top of that Chinese people are being told Moaist stuff like "eat bitterness" and the youth are "lying flat" or "letting it rot" as they believe they have no future... this has all started since Xi took over, was never like this before. The rich in china are also fleeing with their money. People think it's the bad orange man, but no, it's not, it's the CCP and it's awful policies... even look at military officers in the PLA etc., they have to spend 40-50% of their time studying complete nonsense like "Xi Jinping thought" and such complete BS instead of military tactics.... all about control at ant cost.
  24. Classic case of German politics and election MO, completely weak and designed to make traffic-light coalitions that can barely agree on anything, with endless meetings to decide anything meaningful. Times they are a changing and people are unhappy with the status quo... the winds of change are blowing across Europe and it is only a matter of time regarding how long the established liberal order can hang on to power, as they have generally failed miserably on major issues and people are starting to see it.
  25. Well, not hard to figure out what is going on. Wages are simply not keeping pace with the increased cost of living/inflation plus interest rates are high, governments around the world are taxing more, especially imports as they are worried about the Chinese dumping policy MO that is the only way for them to keep their economy afloat, which destroys local competition and companies due to the huge subsidies that Chinese firms get from the CCP (because the CCP only cares that their people have jobs and don't rebel)... which in turn makes products made elsewhere more expensive. Can also couple that with general corporate greed, war, dwindling job opportunities everywhere (even in the West)... look at the UK, businesses are more reluctant to hire due to excessive NI and general taxes. The simple truth is that governments are running out of money everywhere so they want to squeeze the Joe public and the businesses for as much as possible... even places like Thailand are skint too due to frivolous spending nonsense. Pages worth of this stuff on a topic like this one.
