What's the point in knowing even further ahead that you're going to die? Useless unless there is a cure.

This type of announcement occurs every time the market takes a bath. There is a spreadsheet in the SET website that states how many companies have historically delisted. While the majority voluntarily delisted the number delisted forcibly are few. The SET is just too easy on criminals.

You are essentially restating that the Jewish people took the land of the Palestinians by force. Thanks.

Please excuse my sarcasm, but it is difficult for many people to understand what the Palestinians have against the Israelis. In 1948, David Ben-Gurion, born in Płońsk in Poland, and thus not a Palestinian, proclaimed the establishment of the State of Israel. Note that the British, who held Palestine until May 1948, opposed both the creation of a Jewish state and an Arab state in Palestine as well as unlimited immigration of Jewish refugees to the region. It's almost as if Britain knew something would happen. Now imagine that a member of the Manhattan tribe of native Americans declared New York was their spiritual land of Manhattan and they were taking it as their own. Would Americans have peacefully handed it over? Or if Saxons of Northern Germany declared that London was their spiritual home and moved there en masse? They did try. When their descendants wanted to take Britain, they were met with: "We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender." Sounds ominous. It seems that the locals would have been a little upset.

Anyone who has been here a while knows not to defame someone in writing or verbally in front of witnesses.

A lot of people turning green on AN today...

It looks like the Thai press has been ordered to blame all violent acts on weed. It doesn't matter that its usual effect is to make people lie back and take it easy and be less stressed. To get paranoid you'd have to smoke a lot more than most people. Which implies some serious mental health issues.

I guess the Russians here can be friendly with Ukrainian tourists. The Israeli tourists can get on with - I was going to say Palestinian tourists but I guess there aren't many. Thailand, a non-aligned country, could benefit from the input of foreign money.

Thanks. Been trying to Google the answer but everyone keeps saying he can't divert it. Seems like his hands are tied.

This is what I wanted to understand. So it isn't a "use it or lose it" situation? POTUS can actually be forced to use the funds as intended it seems. Thanks for trying to clarify.

Sex toys are considered obscene here, as is prostitution. Both officially don't exist. Clearly, there are thousands of people willing to pay for sex toys and prostitutes. Normally, the police ignore it, except if a foreigner is involved.

I can imagine what the cabinet is thinking. ”We need more money from foreigners.” “A couple of dirty foreigners were killed by a Thai with rich parents.” ”Give them money then tax foreigners to get it back again.” ”But shouldn’t we just hide the tax in hotel prices like other countries?” ”Foreigners need to know they are paying for the compensation. It will make them feel we are a caring country.”

Israel is being cautious as it receives billions from the USA, which doesn’t want to support killing civilians. Bad PR.

I understood that money cannot be diverted but you did not read my question. What if he didn’t use the money? Just sat on his hands. That’s not diverting it.

Personally, I think electric cars are just one means that will help the world be a little cleaner and cooler. Getting rid of pollution does help. When I was a kid there were still so-called pea soupers or smog. Closing down coal fired plants near the city helped lower lung diseases. We did cough a lot at the time. Combustion engine create particles that affect health too. I don't see cars as the main cause of global warming, unless you include the manufacturing process, but that includes electric vehicles too. Yet no government seems to take action against industry. I don't see that paying to pollute (carbon credits) helps lower global warming and pollution. Our grandchildren are the ones who will pay.

So how does the government prove that making gambling legal will stop all this? Thais will bet on anything and will spend the whole of their income on it if allowed.

I don't understand the point that he is "forced" to use the money on a wall. Can't he just not use the money on anything? How could lawmakers have prevented him using the money on nothing at all? Is the POTUS so weak and powerless that the republicans can force him to use money set aside for something if it goes against his policy?

Never accuse someone without solid evidence. Interesting to see how this plays out.

Why is it the government's job to pay compensation AKA blood money? They could have forced the parents to pay.

Chalerm was once believed to have videos and files with which to hold over certain politicians. I guess most of them are dead now. His son was seen to shoot a policeman in the head and witnesses dried up. Not the sort of person to be welcomed into your house.

Why would anyone need so many guns? Was he planning to rise against the next coup d'etat?

One word, Windrush. Google it.

There was a B/W TV play when I was a kid about a government department whose job it was to identify people of various original nationalities (a bit like Suella) and have them deported - even if they were officially English. The department head was Scottish. He did his job with aggression and when the government announced such and such a race was to be deported, he went after them with a vengeance. His staff hated him for his enthusiasm to deport English people of various origins. At the very end, staff whispered to each other, "Don't worry, we don't have to put up with him for long. I heard they are getting rid of the Scottish next." That's where the Nasty Party are headed.

So difficult to decide. Health or death? My doctor asks if I exercise and I say that I cycle at weekends. She asks isn't that dangerous, I tell her that the Railway Park has a lot of accidents but no deaths. Why would anyone cycle on a main road?

I wholeheartedly agree this wasn't mentioned. However, advance medical advice to reduce issues like diabetes is given by general practitioners in many countries. It comes down to cash in the end. Fat people are a source of income for insurance companies.
