  1. Things NGOs don't tell you. They say only 9% of plastics are recycled in the USA but forgot to mention that 30% of one particular type of plastic, PET (used for water and other drinks bottles) is recycled.
  2. Interesting that Allah was unable to strike down the people who burned his holy book. An ineffectual god.
  3. Whatever the changes they will be incomplete and vague enough to allow for misinterpretation.
  4. I believe that Trump can't afford to lose the election if he wants to stay out of jail. He needs to give himself a pardon or die in prison.
  5. Probably a good idea to let Trump spew his insanities so people just get fed up with him.
  6. The story is a good illustration of why governments have never won a "war on drugs" anywhere in the world. When people with mental health issues are left to live on the streets, one cannot be surprised if they want to deaden the pain.
  7. I have a feeling that if they get to 70% they will simply change the law to 80% or more. Didn't Thaksin pay off the country's debt to the IMF in record time?
  8. https://www.aier.org/article/trumps-economy/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/01/30/us-economy-grew-23-percent-2019-slowest-trumps-presidency-held-back-by-trade-fears-global-slowdown/ Read them and weep.
  9. Clearly a lie. The video of Trump saying it on TV proves that.
  10. You forgot to mention that Bush crashed the economy created by Reagan and that Clinton not only recovered the economy, surpassing both, but that historically, Republicans have sunk the economy and the Democrats boosted it.
  11. And yet.... you don't give a link to anything that proves what you say. Whereas I can give lots. Don't be too sure your guesses will be proven. https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-gloats-debate-audience-went-crazybut-there-was-none https://www.aol.com/trump-claims-audience-went-crazy-105012359.html https://www.salon.com/2024/09/19/delusional-and-unsettling-forgets-there-was-no-debate-audience-claims-crowd-went-crazy/ https://www.yahoo.com/news/donald-trump-says-debate-audience-111201992.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAGQUALBU1B-GusZ0qMhs_RMbrkFKZop-eQFnnzlOWCePQbx8ZvGHSMUXvBNwGMkM_GmCD0GFIdS-bjkmXQWDO55PwC3vhtQB8jNqN0VkhKlNiy_YD7pbkBFKj6aYtMGbisNYxBMSRz5uaq3tQJ_KpL1VRFid8YNiWVw5joy1k-WL https://www.newsweek.com/trump-praises-nonexistent-debate-crowd-they-went-crazy-1956251 https://www.salon.com/2024/09/19/delusional-and-unsettling-forgets-there-was-no-debate-audience-claims-crowd-went-crazy/ https://newrepublic.com/post/186138/donald-trump-kamala-harris-debate-audience And to finally smash your argument into the floor, here is Trump saying this himself.
  12. He just came out to say the audience at the debate went crazy for him. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-audience-harris-debate-gutfeld-b2615455.html 🤣
  13. Rich men taking advantage of poor girls is an old story. But in his private apartment? Should they have gone there alone with his reputation?
  14. A whole new can of worms. Measuring income? Let's see your bank accounts. Show us the receipts for what you have earned. Not more than 300,000 Baht a year? "Darling I'm home! Guess what, I just made 310,000 Baht this year!" Policeman puts head in window. "We are confiscating your stall as you are making more than a poor person." How to keep people poor 101.
  15. Met him briefly once. Very unhealthy person. I don't know why he wants a parliamentary seat when he isn't capable of doing anything while there. I guess he is an institutional watchdog only.
  16. The BOT Governor has nothing to do with catching criminals. The commercial banks and credit card companies must work with the police. They also need to improve their security but their job is not to run in the streets catching criminals. Scams work by tricking people, so education might help.
  17. Normally, I see no issues with right wing conservatives forming a party that few will vote for. I just can't help the niggly feeling that that there is some subterfuge about to happen.
  18. Against centres in Rwanda but OK with Albania. They are all economic migrants. Except in war zones, improving trade and investment might help.
  19. Right wing entertainment channel Fox says its survey puts Harris in the lead with 50%. No meaning I guess. https://www-foxnews-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.foxnews.com/official-polls/fox-news-poll-harris-tops-trump-two-points.amp?amp_js_v=0.1&amp_gsa=1#webview=1
  20. How come the name of the officer and Fifth Infantry Division commander Maj Gen Chalermchai Wirunpeth and other military officers involved in the operation are not mentioned amongst the murder suspects, just the order-obeying serfs?
  21. All the good videos are too blurry.
  22. SAAB Grippen? Westland Whirlwind helicopter? When something is that blurry it could literally be any aircraft.
  23. Many westerners will understand loss of face. It is similar to "deep embarrassment."
  24. Great way to escalate this to the point that Putin sees nuclear weapons as the only was of stopping the Ukraine. The former UK Defence Secretaries probably don't understand that World War I started after a foreigner was assassinated and grew from there.
  25. I don't think he was selling anything, just pointing out governments just aren't prepared for a serious pandemic. That much can't be argued with.
