  1. The article is unclear on one point. It stated that people need an A grade to become a doctor but nowhere does it categorically state that coloured people are becoming doctors with a C grade. If they have A grades then what is the problem?
  2. There is no theory. Why would you think that?
  3. Some Thais have told me the reason they will u-turn in front of oncoming cars is that (a) the onus is on the oncoming car to brake and (b) when someone drives into the back of your car it is their fault.
  4. Every zebra crossing should have a barrier. No one will get hit then.
  5. He obviously stole the design from the film Flesh Gordon (1971).
  6. Why is the ball in China's court? They didn't start the trade war. China holds many cards and wears a suit.
  7. I think the dumbing down of students is well overdue. Having Harvard in 4th position globally is not something to be proud of. Get them down to 120th. Can't have students think for themselves for god's sake. Whatever next?
  8. I wonder what Luang Phor To himself would say to this? Probably he would be a lot more laid back about it than the Protectors of Culturetm.
  9. The vast number of Chinese tourists in Thailand tends to indicate they are able to see a lot more than their government wants. The fact that they are opening businesses here indicates they like what they see.
  10. Abrego Garcia is not wanted for any crimes in the USA or El Salvador. In fact, he was persecuted by the gangs in El Salvador, What to Know About Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Deportee SCOTUS Ordered Trump Admin to Return | TIME Who is Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the man ICE mistakenly deported? | AP News US citizens to be deported to El Salvador. Trump calls for deporting some citizens to El Salvador, testing US law | Reuters 'Homegrowns are next': Trump doubles down on sending American 'criminals' to foreign prisons - ABC News Trump hopes to deport and jail U.S. citizens abroad : NPR
  11. Seems like one mom who never graduated kindergarten. Worst grammar and spelling I have ever seen outside AN. Maybe a cooling off period in El Salvador will help.
  12. China holds many cards, like chemicals vital to the US and a lot of US debt. China controls 90% of EV battery grade graphite. Most of the antimony, germanium, gallium and tungsten. supplies, as well as controlling key active pharmaceutical ingredients. Plus, President Xi wears a suit.
  13. I guess the idea was, "I bought these things, and I want everyone to know they were worth it!"
  14. Zoom and MS Teams are the cheaper answer. More video calls, less traveling. I remember seeing a fantastic teleconferencing system in Singapore where the guys in Hong Kong looked like they were in the room across the table.
  15. Seeing a dead body will simply make Thais think, I must be blessed because this has never happened to me as I am a great driver. Make them pay loads of money in fines will have a bigger effect. Once they pay 20,000 Baht once, they will be more careful. Better still, regular fines of 20k up will put the fear of being poor in them.
  16. When in trouble, governments cry, please Mr. China, save us! Then later, it's go away Mr. China, we don't want you! There's no point in begging for help then saying China has too many investments. Ban Chinese investments if you don't want their money.
  17. They were breaking the law, but not put in jail, fined, or otherwise punished? Maybe that's a tad soft on crime.
  18. He doesn't seem to be a Democrat, with all the White supremacy nonsense. If he was on medication he should be in a hospital.
  19. They could ask The Great Satan itself for clues. Satanists praying to be burned in hell? Sounds unlikely.
  20. 1. Israel will be the leader of an attack 2. No one leads America on an attack Very confusing.
  21. Let's just praise Trump for getting rid of illegals and ignore administrative errors. No one needs to be found guilty by a court, do they? That's so woke. Oh, by the way, who will be next. ‘Home growns are next’: Trump tells El Salvador president to build more jails for U.S. citizens. “I just asked the president — it’s this massive complex that he built, jail complex — I said, 'Can you build some more of them please?’ As many as we can get out of our country,” Trump told reporters. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-home-growns-bukele-citizens-b2733207.html He hasn't said they need to be found guilty, just send them
  22. Decaf is like whisky without the alcohol.
  23. The US has 11.6% of the world's rare earth production. China has 70%. It's going to make US manufacturing and technology difficult.
  24. I just stopped because it (alcohol) kept making me fall asleep in the pub. Not missed it.
