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?

Thai Police Nab Gang Smuggling Chinese Nationals into Country
Purdey replied to webfact's topic in Central Thailand News
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? -

I wouldn't be surprised if he was drunk but don't want to jump to the wrong conclusion. -
German Man Arrested in Maha Sarakham for Drugs and 377-Day Overstay

I can imagine him panicking when the cops arrived. Every criminal in prison thought they would get away with it. -
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.

The Erosion of Equality in British Justice Where Race Plays a Role
Purdey replied to Social Media's topic in World News
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. -

Can't being good simply mean "not purposely harming someone? Accidents happen but purposefully doing bad is evil. -
Ukraine Backs U.S. Ceasefire Proposal, Awaiting Russian Response
Purdey replied to Social Media's topic in World News
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? -
Is Thailand’s healthcare more affordable than in the West?
Purdey replied to CharlieH's topic in Insurance in Thailand
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. -
