  1. Being geographically knowledgeable, Thailand sent Chinese nationals back to China. This is not like sending Venezuelans to a completely different country like El Salvador.
  2. It seems the politicians don't have their fingers on the pulse of the young in Thailand. I would have preferred the government invest in education and high tech.
  3. Hopefully, they help filter out the PM2.5 and emit oxygen for those who like a walk.
  4. Fat people have the right to go business class or book two seats in economy. Why airlines don't charge by weight is beyond the ken.
  5. I think the mask is more famous for being used in a horror movie.
  6. Phuket, Bangkok and Pattaya show the headaches caused by drunks. Their country, let them decide.
  7. Not sure anyone can dictate what and who an artist wants in his choir.
  8. Areas like Soho have always had a problem balancing a vibrant nightlife (that is, making lots of money) with people trying to get a good night's sleep. Perhaps an order to soundproof bars and clubs would help.
  9. Cut the $37 trillion debt in half at least. So far almost zero impact.
  10. Take down the site. I don't care what Vance says about freedom of speech, take it down.
  11. They haven't caught whoever it was so no evidence on which side of the political spectrum he/she is on. Just think of it compared to throwing English tea in the harbor. It is an expensive way of making a point without killing people.
  12. Learning to defend oneself is pretty important in the world today. Just don't bring a machete to a gun fight.
  13. 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?
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. No mention of any crimes in Thailand. At least the joint cooperation of the two police forces worked out in the end.
  18. What does his religion have to do with his knowing?
  19. I can imagine the meeting. One for you, two for me...
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. 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.
