  1. I suppose that Voight will tell American unions to accept lower wages and force states to offer tax incentives. That should do it.
  2. This has been a subject of westerner ire for many years as it is racism. Richard Barrow has been tracking places that dual price so anyone wishing to avoid being scammed can avoid them. https://2pricethailand.com/ 147 places nationally.
  3. Please stick to the topic instead of throwing personal insults.
  4. No need for argument. El Supremo had already spoken truthfully about the fake news surrounding COVID. S.A.Tire
  5. If Farage can't be bothered to meet his constituents in Clacton he is hardly likely to become PM. I used to watch him speak while in the EU. Just scoffing but with no ideas.
  6. I put it down to shyness. Students tell me they don't want to make a mistake so prefer not to speak at all.
  7. So a foreigner gets on a bus and pays five times more than the Thai who arrives in a Mercedes Benz because the foreigner is rich? Got it.
  8. Reminds me of Chula Hospital giving hiv tainted blood to patients many years ago.
  9. Which photo is of the cyborg cop? My eyesight's not so good these days...
  10. North Africans are black. Nubians are black. Ethiopians are black. In Rome, Africa meant the North of continental Africa (see the map). Pointing to sub-Saharan blacks only is disingenuous as sub-Saharan Africa was not conquered by Rome. "Disproven " means, when someone says there were no blacks in the Roman army this has been proven to be wrong many times. https://neutralhistory.com/black-roman-soldiers-fact-or-fiction/ Even Severus knew there were blacks in the army in Britain, as he was accosted by an Ethiopian soldier in York. https://ianjamesross.com/journal/2018/4/28/aethiops-quidam-e-numero-militari-black-africans-in-the-roman-army There were black people at Hadrian's Wall. https://www.blackpast.org/global-african-history/africans-hadrians-wall/ The Roman military garrison at the fort of Burgh-by-Sands, on Hadrian’s wall in Cumbria. A fourth century inscription tells us that the Roman auxiliary unit Numerus Maurorum Aurelianorum was stationed at Aballava, modern-day Burgh-by-Sands. This unit had been mustered in the Roman province of Mauretania in North Africa, modern Morocco. https://blackpresence.co.uk/black-romans/ https://blog.twmuseums.org.uk/africans-on-hadrians-wall-world-heritage-site/ Until the second quarter of the second century when British recruits became more common, legionaries came initially from Italy (81%), but by the end of the first century were mainly from North Africa and other areas. https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/classics/warwickclassicsnetwork/romancoventry/resources/diversity/army/ Lucius Quietus. He was a Roman officer and legate of Judea in 117 CE who was of Moroccan origin and was the son of a tribal chief. https://imperiumromanum.pl/en/article/black-people-in-ancient-rome/ The Roman historian, Tacitus, mentioned "the dark complexion and unusually curly hair" of the Silures, or Black Celts who he believed migrated there from Spain. When Julius Caesar invaded Britain he met these Blacks. Julius Caesar's army was itself composed of prominent Blacks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Africans https://treventour1995.medium.com/afro-romans-there-were-africans-in-britain-before-the-english-came-here-f336c5449759
  11. China has got one thing wrong. America would never, ever, fingers crossed, not have labs that experimented on dangerous viruses and bacteria. That's for devilish foreigners only. Yeah, well maybe in 2015 it was discovered that hundreds of lab mistakes, safety violations and near-miss incidents occurred in biological laboratories coast to coast . https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2015/05/28/biolabs-pathogens-location-incidents/26587505/ But so what? The Good GuysTM never do bad guy stuff. It really doesn't matter that the U.S. ended the ban on experimenting with deadly viruses in 2017. That must have been a misunderstanding, saying gain of function (GOF) research with viruses like influenza, MERS, and SARS could help us "identify, understand, and develop strategies and effective countermeasures against rapidly evolving pathogens that pose a threat to public health". https://www.sciencealert.com/the-us-just-ended-ban-engineering-deadly-viruses-in-lab-pathogens-function The Good GuysTH are completely innocent.

  12. They're eating the cats; they're eating the dogs! Get him out.
  13. Tattoos go back millennia in Thailand and elsewhere. While I don't like them personally as they are forever, I can't blame people who have them as the tradition is older than me (just).
  14. Hey ho "Multiple Fox News employees told media reporters that newly released filings from Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against the right-wing network show that Fox prioritizes its prime-time opinion programming over its news division. They echo what past staffers who have left say: Fox is a propaganda network for Republicans." https://www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox-news-staffers-agree-fox-not-news-organization https://www.businessinsider.com/fox-news-karen-mcdougal-case-tucker-carlson-2020-9
  15. More interesting and entertaining: https://www.youtube.com/c/andertons/videos
  16. I could only watch the first few minutes before I stopped in disgust. The obvious lie that there were no black people in the Roman army has been disproven many times. Maybe he later explained that the Romans held north Africa and so must have allowed black people to join the army but when you catch someone in an ignorant comment the first few seconds, turn it off. https://blackpresence.co.uk/black-romans/ https://imperiumromanum.pl/en/article/black-people-in-ancient-rome/ https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/classics/warwickclassicsnetwork/romancoventry/resources/diversity/army/ My apologies if I should have watched the bit where he said there were lots of Africans in the Roman army.
  17. Perhaps he should have shouted "Do you know who I am?" at the judges?
  18. "Governments over the past 25 years jailed more criminals, despite evidence it does not prevent re-offending." There are 8,554 inmates across the UK serving life sentences – more than France, Germany and Italy combined. The British total also exceeds the number of life-sentence prisoners held in jails in Russia and Turkey. Maybe stop jailing people for minor crimes so the wardens can pay more attention to those most likely to be violent?
  19. Not sure who proved Joe Biden guilty of corruption. PolitiFact | Fact-checking Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and Ukraine "We found no evidence to support the idea that Joe Biden advocated with his son's interests in mind, as the message suggests. It's not even clear that the company was actively under investigation or that a change in prosecutors benefited it."
  20. That is interesting because if 9 people are 0.001% of 184,000 then Copilot is wrong that 100% would be 900,000 people. 9 is approximately 0.00489% of 184,000. Copilot! Bad dog!
  21. I don't think that Thailand exchanges information on criminals from abroad in the general sense. Possibly when a specific person is wanted. I doubt that a person's details are allowed to be distributed under the data protection acts in most countries.
  22. Amazing that people "do their own research" and don't bother to find out about the guy spreading this rubbish. Peter McCullough, an American cardiologist known for spreading health disinformation.
  23. So dangerous the media does not dare to name him.
  24. And still the construction company is allowed to continue their botch job. When is is complete, for how many years must drivers expect to have concrete fall on them?
  25. Sometimes the Thai police give the impression that they are all fake. It is hard to tell (some are nice though!).
