  1. If Greenland does become independent, they may choose to join NATO, which would oppose invasion by an enemy. Greenland has free healthcare, free education. What invader could offer that?
  2. They could just say, "The well-known criminal," or that former fugitive and businessman."
  3. Sad. Died alone and then it rained.
  4. Thai men get too emotional sometimes. So what if she had a tomboy friend?
  5. I wish the reporter had got the other side of the argument. Cabinet decision or not, why do airlines want to use foreign pilots on domestic routes? Better trained, more disciplined or what? Is there a shortage of pilots?
  6. I don't get why Chinese would leave the motherland and the wonderous leadership of the Communist Party and Father Xi. Surely Thailand is less preferable compared to China?
  7. I do hope Thais believe in vaccines. I got bitten by a dog once, the local clinic advised buying vaccine from Chulalongkorn Hospital and bringing it back for the clinic to inject it at the right periods. Saved money and not dead.
  8. I wouldn't be surprised if he was drunk but don't want to jump to the wrong conclusion.
  9. Edward II got his end with a hot poker in his end. Alas, young actors may fear they will get fewer parts playing heterosexual leads.
  10. Wayne County and the Electric Chairs were founded in 1977 so that the lead singer could make money to transition from Wayne to Jayne. They were quite shocking. Hit single "If You Don't Wanna <deleted> me baby, Baby <deleted> off." Today's generation are pussies.
  11. I can imagine him panicking when the cops arrived. Every criminal in prison thought they would get away with it.
  12. While I have been using the same plastic bag for at least five years, I still get surprised when anyone says that 7-Eleven gives free plastic bags away. 7-11 does not manufacture plastic bags. The plastic bags for 7-Eleven are manufactured by Naraipak, a major plastic bag producer in Thailand. So why do people think the bags are free? Because they don't notice the price is added to the goods that 7-Eleven sells. Interestingly, when they went through a phase of not handing out bags, the price of their products did not go down accordingly.
  13. He confiscated luxury cars and spent a lot of money on "entertainment" girls. Inspect their bank accounts next.
  14. If he has had a hand in running the government, legally or not, he should be mentioned so that people understand the depth of his interference.
  15. "Attempts to rouse him" Was he lying down on his bed with a cloth around his neck? How was that a hanging?
  16. The Conservatives granted asylum to 63,000 people in 2023, while Labour's administration in 2024 saw a decrease to 39,616 asylum grants.
  17. Britain has always been a racist country. They invaded so many countries in Africa and South Asia and are now upset that, after telling those whose lands they took that they are Great Britain, those people apparently believed them and want to see for themselves.
  18. Satire - hopefully people will learn from history.
  19. Can't being good simply mean "not purposely harming someone? Accidents happen but purposefully doing bad is evil.
  20. Who on earth would hack anything and show their true location? You'd have to be begging to be caught.
  21. I am absolutely certain that Russia will sign a security agreement with Ukraine. The proof? Russia signed the Budapest Memorandum, on December 5, 1994, providing a multilateral agreement affirming Ukraine's security and sovereignty in exchange for giving up Ukraine's nuclear stocks. What more do you need?
  22. Universal healthcare is not free. You pay a fee via tax and the money is pooled so people can access healthcare. Similarly, in the US, insurance costs are pooled by the insurance company and used to reimburse costs. In both cases, the providers are gambling that not everyone is sick at the same time.
  23. Whatever happens to solar panels on roofs? Brands like Lightyear made progress but this is an area to be explored.
  24. More emissions than entire countries? A bit shocked.
