  1. So it is a screwdriver assembly factory and none of the parts are actually made in Thailand. Is that right?
  2. Except for Rutnin, where I had two cataracts removed, I use my nearest hospital for diabetes testing and medicine (pills are paid for by my corporate health insurance). As others mention, there seems to be a thing in Thailand about selling pills at inflated prices for everything. Can't complain about the quality of doctors. When my prostate ballooned, I went to my local hospital and a famous 5 star hospital in town for a second opinion. Both said the same thing, which gives some confidence that I'm not going to pop off soon. More worrying was that I used to know a young man who was doing his medical degree. He could never answer my enthusiastic questions about his studies, telling me, "I took that exam last month and can't remember now."
  3. I hope Labour has planned what to do if they are elected. The last time they went after rich people's money, Elton John and others moved to another country. They will have to allow foreign doctors and nurses in again. There aren't enough Brits qualified to do the work.
  4. He should get into another debate urgently. If his performance is bad again he is out. If it is an improvement, he stays.
  5. Very confusing. If Taiwan is considered part of China (by the Chinese), then it was in domestic water.
  6. This must be a joke. All the major parties are involved in the cheating.
  7. Will they include tourists in this should all day drinking be instituted? Alcohol is a drug, isn't it?
  8. Will encouraging factory workers to get drunk all day will not help the economy that much? The government cannot believe that the tourist numbers are enough to guarantee a lot more income? It will be the Thais who suffer.
  9. More toys for boys. Later, we will discover they can't be flown due to the cost of fuel, the lack of munitions, cost of maintenance and so on. They will look pretty for children's day though. Sad that the government apparently has vast financial resources for this type of purchase but drives the economy into the ground.
  10. Ask how much the hospital charged for the operation.
  11. Fortunately, they are a minority. Getting a PhD in any scientific subject takes a long time and then to become an expert in a field takes longer. I notice those shouting from the rooftops are usually not virologists or vaccine experts. Lots of real scientists who are experts in their field are worried about this minority screaming from the rooftops. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/vaccine-scientist-warns-antiscience-conspiracies-have-become-a-deadly-organized-movement/ https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2023/09/19/deadly-rise-anti-science-book https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-02981-z (paid site but the headline says it all)
  12. That's simply untrue. This has been refuted many times. Also, Fauci didn't invent it. https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-aids-hiv-fauci-covid-pandemic-833586389602 https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2024/what-is-azt-aaron-rodgers-conspiracy-theory-hiv-aids-drug/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/06/22/no-azt-hasnt-caused-hundreds-of-thousands-of-deaths-fact-check/70321406007/
  13. Sorry, didn't realize you have a research laboratory at home in which to do your own research. Or do you think googling conspiracy websites is "research"?
  14. Whats anything to do with the Democratic Party? This is about court rulings. Stay on topic.
  15. An employer has the right to give employees a choice - do this or that or leave. Did you think employers have no rights?
  16. This is going to upset the government. Cheeky foreigners, doing their maths better that locals.
  17. Driving a vehicle in Thailand is an adventure. We never know what might happen. Keeps the heart beating and senses working overtime.
  18. I can't think of an instance where a vaccine was forced into anyone. Yes, people were encouraged, cajoled, implored and so on, but not once has anyone tied someone down and forced the needle in.
  19. Everything Kennedy says cannot be trusted. His misinformation is the stuff of legend. As a recovering heroin addict and liar his own family does not recommend he propose himself a presidential candidate. https://www.factcheck.org/2023/11/scicheck-rfk-jr-incorrectly-denies-past-remarks-on-vaccine-safety-and-effectiveness/ https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2024-06-20/robert-kennedy-addict-reform-plans https://www.annenbergpublicpolicycenter.org/fact-checking-presidential-candidate-robert-f-kennedy-jr-on-vaccines-autism-and-covid-19/ .
  20. I was waiting for someone to say what about this or what about that, like "what about black lives matter?" What about all the KKK lynches? Different courts, different judgements I guess.
  21. I was vaccinated and, when I tested positive, felt no serious effects. As a kid I had vaccines against polio, measles, and other childhood diseases and never was sick. I have read people seriously say that Bill Gates put microchips into vaccines to track people, without thinking that they have mobile phones that do it quite nicely thank you. I simply don't believe non-scientists making wild guesses based on internet gossip..
  22. It's women's lingerie. Women buy that stuff. They used models they thought would attract the type of women in their target group. Probably won't work. Thank goodness Martina wasn't chosen.
  23. As someone over 60 with diabetes I fart in the general direction on those who pretend it is like a cold.
  24. He should claim immunity. Umm, it works elsewhere.
