We're concerned about the truth. There is no ceasefire agreement - typing lies doesn't make them true.

Well, to be fair there wasn't really another suitable candidate for a bigoted turd to support

Do you mean Lion Air, the airline that's banned from flying in the EU because of its appalling safety record?

Yes, if I were a drunken sex tourist like you perhaps.

You ran up the debt by abusing the reserve currency status of the dollar. You spent the money gorging yourselves on fast food and too many toys and now you want the rest of the world to foot the bill for your wild excesses? I thought you were joking at first but perhaps you're just American.

There's so much bigotry on this forum already, why would you try to encourage more? From my personal experience, every foreigner thinks they're smarter and better educated but unfortunately they're far too stupid to see the irony in their situation. Judging by your replies so far, you're certainly no exception.

Of course, they're dumb. Most of them are Americans after all.

120 is all the USA has 'given'. Now they want 3 times that back nearly. Stop propagating your presidents lies, it's pathetic.

I had to Google that. Thank goodness I'm not from a country that hunts its citizens worldwide to tax them.

I moved here unwillingly 14 years ago and it's never been a great place to live in my experience. It was dull and boring when I arrived and it still is. The expat population was (and probably still is) significantly older than it is in Bangkok. Walking around Airport Plaza when I first arrived was like walking around an old people's home. Every single Westerner I saw was well over 60. There's nothing wrong with being older of course but if you're under 50 and still active, I don't think Chiang Mai is a good place to live. I mentioned some of my concerns on this very forum back then, which included food, and was met with hostility from posters, one of whom went so far as to claim the choice of restaurants in Chiang Mai is every bit as good as the choice in Bangkok. I gave up trying to have serious conversations on here after that. The city is dirty, unattractive, congested and attracts the type of visitors I could cheerfully strangle: posers, hipsters, digital nomads and neo-hippies who wander around SEA in search of authentic experiences, man. It also attracts the type of expats I dislike: older Westerners on a fixed income who are unable to see the irony of their bigoted attitudes, having chosen to emigrate here. Most of them pair up with a native girl whose history is better left undiscussed and slowly drink themselves to death.

I think you're wasting your time. People who enjoy smoking weed that costs $4 a quarter are not interested in quality and have little to no idea what they are talking about. I've seen posters on here proclaim it's better to buy cheap, less potent weed and smoke more of it than to pay for 'top-shelf bud', because it still works out cheaper. So, in effect, they are saying they value their wallets more than their lungs. You can't teach people like that anything.

At least the air quality is good now 🙂

Stopped reading after "fake pandemic" as my time is precious, unlike yours.

Is that "normal Thai" as opposed to "normal American", which would be major aeronautical manufacturers lying to the authorities about using nonconforming parts in planes? Personally, I find it a lot more worrying when the world's third largest aeroplane manufacturer plays fast and loose with passenger safety.

Laos has a slightly lower, i.e. better, Gini Coefficient than the USA so maybe go to the States instead if you want to see inequality?
