    Learning to defend oneself is pretty important in the world today. Just don't bring a machete to a gun fight.

    I am not sure what is the benefit of sending people to Mars if robots can conduct science experiments. The amount of radiation astronauts would be exposed to increases the risk that they will get cancer. Who would want to live on a desert planet?

    Anyone who travels around Thailand knows that impoverished farmers live in tin huts like these. People are just embarrassed when the real state of living in Thailand is exposed. The Good Shephard foundation is helping people without the means to survive.

    I am half joking when I say that the Uyghur prisoners would have been welcome to seek asylum in the United States. They would have then been sent to El Salvador.

    America is a capitalist country. It is a business that needs to buy and sell goods. If it's marketing plan goes doolally, it will sell less. That's market forces. People don't like your image, they go elsewhere.

    No mention of any crimes in Thailand. At least the joint cooperation of the two police forces worked out in the end.

    What does his religion have to do with his knowing?

    I can imagine the meeting. One for you, two for me...

    I wonder how many people were tricked into buying tickets based on a 60-day visa? Obviously, the two months visas were working, that's why there are so many tourists. I don't like crowds more than the next person, but raising expectations and flip flopping back will not help the country's tourism industry.

    I have to admire this man of peace treating Houthis as Ukraine treats Russians (who are also terrorists). Libya has a lot of potential as a new Riviera.

    Rather than stay in an expensive private hospital, perhaps he could move to a government hospital. It is often the same doctors, just a different price.

    When people cry out for, even demand, actions to be taken that are illegal, what can you say when you become the victim? That you know your rights? That you will sue the government? That "it ain't fair"? Once started, that train is hard to stop.

    McCarthy was against all communists but focused on Russia. He destroyed many careers. It seems now McCarthyism had returned but now it's against everybody who is not in a cult.

    They could be terrorists. We will never know for sure because no court declared them as such after seeing all the evidence. No judge or jury found them guilty.

    Several presidents have used an autopen. It isn't illegal. However, any president who magically declassifies documents by just saying, "I hereby declare you declassified!" Is in trouble.

    A relative got malaria in the brain after visiting Koh Samet. She went insane for a while and was sectioned by her husband until the doctors figured out what was wrong. This is a tropical country. Expecting it to be similar to the west, can lead to trouble. Mosquito repellent is better than nothing.

    Asking her to get off so that you can drive it is one thing. Teling her to get off when you aren't about to drive it is something else. Guys forget that they might be beautiful but they punch like men. Better to smile and speak politely.

    People dying in prison cells. Hope this isn't a trend.

    It isn't dying I fear, it is excruciating pain for weeks or months before dying.

    I can't see Clacton voting for him if he is always traveling and never meeting voters in his constituency.

    I missed something. When did Congress declare war on anyone? Using a law illegally is opening the door to other illegal actions. What next? Kicking out those of German descent because they were against America in WWII?

    If they target 6,500 new teachers, and it takes 4 years to train a teacher, we can't expect to see them in classes before 2029 (not counting those already in teacher training). It is a good idea but will take time. The way people are talking about it makes it look like they expect more teachers this year.

    Not as important as closing down pro American radio is what will rise from the ashes? Will it be just pro Trump radio? Or pro Putin radio?

    This is a disaster for Portugal. Invaded by rich legal immigrants? With eggs at roughly $3.20, Portugal needs a leader who is able to handle the problem.

    Well, who is this mysterious contractor? Maybe when it comes to building the nuclear power plant they keep discussing, this company will get the job.
