  1. This may benefit Mexico if people from the country to the north decide to go there and have an abortion at the same time. I still don't understand why fat old white men get to decide what a woman can do with their bodies.
  2. Why on earth would he give Israel another excuse to eliminate Palestine?
  3. Why do i get the urge to shout, "Wakanda forever!"?
  4. An international city would be Singapore. The fact you can't write English implies you are not qualified to comment.
  5. Again with the rudeness of an illiterate - what idiot makes these stupid assumptions? You are confusing the ability to communicate with basic spoken English and native level written and spoken English. I have met Thais who grew up in the UK who are native level, but that's it. Chula Arts Faculty grads tend to be better than most but I still have to correct their writing. The least you could do is learn how to write English: "And you never seen office buildings with international companies?" 1. Do not start a sentence with a conjunction. There is a reason it is called a conjunction. 2. Don't use past simple tense without a time element. Your sentence should be written like this: Have you never seen office buildings with international companies? FAIL.
  6. Hopefully the bite marks can be photographed and used as evidence.
  7. This is really great if their intention is to ensure Move Forward wins by a landslide in the next election. Smart of MF to keep well away.
  8. Probably important to know that the number of people who vote for Trump is rather irrelevant. To win the presidency, you don't have to win the majority of the popular vote. You have to win the majority of electoral votes. Win a state by just one vote, and you win all of its electoral votes (unless you live in Nebraska or Maine, which divvy up their votes a little differently). A candidate only needs to win the 11 states with the most electoral votes to hit 270 electors and win the presidency. Although the method of counting may differ according to who you read, it is possible to win the presidency with only 23% of the popular vote. That's the reason Hilary won the popular vote but lost the electoral vote last time.
  9. Lots of people can afford to stay longer. Most dictionaries say simply Someone who visits a place for pleasure and interest, usually while on holiday. There is no definition that includes the amount of time spent. Don't make stuff up without evidence. https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/tourist https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tourist https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/tourist
  10. I ask two questions to businessmen. 1. Do you believe in the supernatural etc. - Yes 2. Are you a billionaire? - Yes It is the second answer that leads me to think they are a good investment.
  11. Things are getting confusing. "Not enough tourists, economic growth slow." "Too many Russians* spending money." "Sex workers for Russians only." "We don't have sex workers in Thailand." "Russians cause prices to rise." "Chinese don't?" "Russians taking Thai jobs." "How many Thais speak Russian?" Either Thailand wants tourists or doesn't. Inevitably, there will be tourists who do something illegal, so arrest and deport them. *Substitute for Ukrainians to taste.
  12. The education standard is very low here compared to Singapore. The article mentions international schools only in recognition of this. The level of English is one of the worst in ASEAN. I can't see foreign investors considering Bangkok as an international city yet.
  13. Should be some rules for men in taxis run by katoeys too. 1. Don't wear short trousers that show the knees 2. Keep shirts buttoned up to the neck 3. Don't admit to being a hansum man 4. Avoid going to bars you don't know already 5. Don't tell the driver he's a pain in the ass
  14. I wonder what will happen if the North Koreans or the Russians were to hold exercises off the coast of Hawaii or Catalina island. I don't think the West will be happy to allow the same freedoms they take for granted themselves. Still, they had the chance to wipe North Korea off the map in the 50s, as MacArthur suggested, but decided not to. Now there's a big fat baby with a red nuclear trigger to worry about.
  15. Never heard of this CUD nonsense until this. So many celebrities in America smoke and are still able to make an income and entertain others. https://www.insider.com/celebrities-who-smoke-weed-2018-10
  16. Terrible English, I would end up arguing with the officer.
  17. Like any other criminals, Chinese criminals can be arrested when they commit crimes. I doubt if the number will be so high the Thai government will have to rethink the visas.
  18. An writing this from a hospital where I just had ultrasound s few minutes ago. They got a urine sample an hour ago after the results then asked me to drink before the ultrasound. So there was no concern about drinking prior to the ultrasound. Health check next month and won't eat before but they say doing water is fine.
  19. If Biden decides not to run it will be because he knows himself. The sheer weight of being president burns out many men. I remember the old and tired face of Jimmy Carter at the end of his presidency.
