  1. Ignoring pollution has long term effects on people but I guess most of the people responsible whether factory owners or EPA officers will be retired or dead by then. In Thailand we have PM2.5 pollution but no one cares.
  2. This is Thailand. There will be ways that Thais will get in. Famous gamblers like "Chat Taopoon" who owns his own casinos, will not be banned. This is great for skimming off licenses and construction contracts.
  3. I have a petrol engineered roadster. No way I am giving that up. Over my cold, dead hands.
  4. When tears of sadness turn to tears of joy I can't help but feel good for their change of fortune.
  5. I have never considered using an app to transfer money until staff at SCB said they wouldn't transfer money to my sister. Then I downloaded the SCB app which transferred the money direct to her bank in less than 60 minutes. Now I have to worry about AI transferring my money? This is not a case of being cautious but of theft going on in the background and being unaware.
  6. It is a draft guideline. It doesn't mean it definitely will be implemented. After discussion, I hope it will be either rejected or adjusted.
  7. Neither she nor her parents complained to the police. They're must be a reason but the court should put the parents in the stand and find out.
  8. The media is a strong bolster against the lies and misdirection we get these days from oligarchs and fake information. We need two sides to every story.
  9. Is education that poor that the words Marxist, Communist and Socialist have all the same meaning today?
  10. Unfortunately, many Thais are imprisoned for drug offences and are given 30-40 years in prison without decent legal representatives to fight for them. Several I have spoken to are dazed. "My brother stored drugs in my house without me knowing but the police arrested me, not him." is a typically pathetic story I have heard when talking to prisoners. Many could be released after 10 years but aren't. I spoke to some foreign shoplifters, and they were less than well-educated but got 10 years. Non-violent criminals should be getting parole, but they aren't.
  11. I don't suppose Moscow has all these leaks and listens in to these open discussions? Nah.
  12. Hardly worth discussing Thai education if Westerners use loose instead of lose, their instead of they're in the forum.
  13. “We are in favour of using up all of the country’s resources.” Thats better.
  14. I agree with Trump. Destroy the American automobile industry before rather than later. Don't want Republicans denying their role when the administration changes.
  15. A good beating never hurt anyone.
  16. Did they negotiate via Scout or Line? In that case, all will be shared soon.
  17. What about the workers who handled this material? Are they glowing in the dark?
  18. The USA is still one of the few countries in the world to have a Nazi Party today. https://www.americannaziparty.com/ They are banned in more developed countries. Calling someone a Nazi in the USA when you actually do have a Nazi Party is hardly an egregious mistake, but it looks bad for non-Nazis. In fact, leading up to the second world war, the Nazi movement was active in supporting Hitler. It doesn't mean Trump is a Nazi, though his family is of German descent.
  19. I agree with the Republicans. Europeans should build their own weapons and stop buying from the U.S. Put the American military industrial complex out of business.
  20. What about new tech for energy efficiency? Solar energy? Oil and gas have a shell life.
  21. Bernie is the only person in Congress who is on the left. The others are conservative in comparison.
  22. As MP for Islington, Corbyn keeps being reelected many times because he supports his electorate. Unlike Farage.
